If you are her legal: Guardian & medical decision-maker, you may request a referral to a tertiary care medical center for telemetry & inpatient management of her epilepsy as well as genetic evaluation with techniques not previously available. Specialists may be able to determine why her seizures have been intractable despite medications & offer other options. No safe, effective herbal remedy exists.

Sorry, no such Rx: There are no "herbal" or otc agents which work for what seems possibly to be juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. Not clear why she is not responding, but the best drugs are Depakote and keppra (levetiracetam). However, could also consider vagal nerve stimulator implantation. Suggest you get consultation from an epileptologist at a nearby medical school.
