You need to call your doctor

You need to call your doctor and tell him about this issue. I understand your issue But withour knowing how long you have had seizures it is difficult to offer a lot of information. I also know that 1 week is not long and adjustments can be done over the phone.  If you haven't had adjustments then that might be why. If you are to take meds 2 times a day and those meds are taken at 7 am and 10 pm then that 3 hour difference does affect you since dosages are set to be taken 12 hours apart and those 3 hours can cause break thru seizures because the levels are lower then they should be. I hope this helps
