"Mood modifiers"?: What kind of "mood modifiers"? If stimulant drugs, this is very dangerous. If you mean antidepressants, you really need to see a neurologist for full evaluation of your seizures. Still, medications will not help you process grief. Antidepressants can modulate the more painful depressive symptoms, but you'll need therapy to work through losses unresponsive to usual community support. Be well.
