I : I wonder if at least some of the undesirable symptoms that you described could be due to the medications that you are taking or interactions between the medications. Could you please post the list of your medications including their daily dose? It might be possible then to comment more on the potential cause of these symptoms.

See your neurologist.: These symptoms are not psychiatric. They are neurologic in nature and likely coming from your seizure disorder. It's also possible that it could be a side effect of your medications either directly or indirectly through a vitamin deficiency. Do not change any of your medications obviously without discussing things with your neurologist and your psychiatrist. You should always alert both of your physicians when new symptoms emerge. It would also be a good idea to be in therapy and have a psychologist as a liaison to help if you are having difficulty expressing these things to your physicians.
