If this is too specific a question I can remove it:

If I am maxed out on my current medication and still having 2-4 seizures a day, is there going to be another medication that could help me? I've already tried two other that seemed to do nothing, Keppra actually made my mood and balance worse and sleep a lot.

And is there a chance my neurologist will tell me I may be drug resistant or have refractory epilepsy?

I am definitely going to talk with the neuro about it next appt but it's been a year since my first episode and I've only had three seizure free days and I'm beginning to think this is going to be the rest of my life.

Thank you for the information!

The hard part is I'm unfortunately having both both non-eplieptic and epileptic seizures right now. Found that out through the ambulatory EEG. The nuero said the non is from my migraines that are from my brain cyst. And the epileptic are from scar tissue from the cranintomy done on the brain cyst.

Edit: also not likely to do epilepsy surgery as its too risky for the brain cyst as it takes up 1/3 of my brain cavity 😭 and it makes me too scared omg
