Hi,
Your condition of seizure may need to be more stringently controlled by either an increase in the dose of the medication you are taking, a change of the medication that you are taking, or there may be another medication you are taking for another condition interfering with the antiepileptic drug's ability to reach good serum levels in order to fully control your condition.
Only your doctor can know which of these options is best for you to follow. You should not change the dose or dosing frequency of your medication without their approval. Another possible explanation to poor control of your seizures is, may be that you are not taking your pills the way they have been prescribed.
You must take this type of medication exactly how it is told to you on the prescription. You cannot miss doses, you cannot run out of your prescription, you cannot skip meals or fail to drink adequate fluids daily, and you cannot be overly fatigued, or excessively tired during the day since all these things also put you at risk for seizure activity and less medication control. You cannot drink alcohol either. You may need to review with your doctor certain lifestyle issues that you are making to see whether or not those could be interfering with optimal control of your condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
