Hello,

I will suggest you to slowly reduce the use of GHB and methlamphetamine. This will help you relive your chronic anxiety. You should start taking the prescribed drug of seroquel in dose already told to you. Epilepsy or a seizure is a condition which needs further elaboration. Do you suffer jerks movements over the body? Does anyone else witnessed your fits? What about tongue bite, urinary incontinence, or a fecal incontinence during fits? Do you sleep after fits? If you have a video of this event, it's also required. You need to go to your local doctor along with a witness friend or a video recording of these events, so that doctor is confident to prescribe you a regular anti epileptic, if he is convinced about these events as fits.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammad Faisal Bacha, Internal Medicine Specialist
