Great Question : It has been my experience that cases like yours require close monitoring. Typically starting low and going slow with med dose increases is best. It is common to have personality and mood problems along with the seizure disorder. A multi-drug approach may be needed. You should also see a psychiatrist to help you get stable on your meds. You have to be seen and followed closely with med changes.
