He switched me to a 40 year old drug called Dilantin. WOW. What a change. The last month and a half has been 10X better for me. I'm no longer an a-hole to everyone all the time and I can actually sleep since it makes me drowsy. I take 300MG before I want to sleep and within an hour or 2 I pass out. Haven't had a seizure since and have been feeling a lot better as well. Thanks everyone for your feedback, still hoping to find out the cause of why I'm getting them.

Possible reaction to an accumulative neurotoxin you came in contact with years ago. Glad to know you're doing better, hopefully you can live free of side effects. I know you probably know this but; big warning is never take 2 psychoactive medications at the same time as the side effects can be permanent and life altering in a horrible way. Good luck with everything
