Gran maul seizure do you know you are shaking or are you unconscience no seizure since im 16 im 30 now dilantin levels 3.2 always only?

Good news: Your Dilantin level is quite subtherapeutic, and likely is protecting you very little if at all. You may not have to worry. Get an updated eeg, perhaps see an epilepsy specialist, and decide whether you even need anti-seizure meds. Maybe, if eeg is abnormal, you could switch to one of the modern less harmful meds.
