You are probably still having psychogenic non-epileptic seizures. The doctor that is managing these should reassess you.

It would be best if the possibility of true epilepsy were definitively ruled out. Even if a patient does have nonepileptic seizures, true epilepsy may be a co-morbidity and should be treated. If not yet done, would recommend an ambulatory EEG to be conducted over 72-96 hours.
