Hello!
I read your question and understand your concern.
I don't think that your seizures are related to a high level of epilim. A viral infection and fevers can cause seizure aggravation.
Epilim can cause seizure exacerbation in high levels, but it is also associated with other symptoms like nausea, headache, dizziness, confusion. A lower dose is more often associated with seizure aggravation.
Although I would recommend you to have a full blood work and a plasmatic level of epilim, and to adjust the dosage if needed.
I don't think that there are any serious interactions between epilim and the other drugs you are taking.
Hope to have been of help!
Greetings!
