Unexpected Seizures

I had one seizure in Feb. and the neurologist said it was a quirk. In November I had 2 seizures 3 hours apart. Both were while sleeping. I was put on Dilantin and 3 weeks kept on Dilantin plus Keppra XR. At this time, I am not sleeping, irritable, cry easily and really would rather not live to make everyone’s life miserable.

There is not a cause that doctors can come up with now. I also have restless leg syndrome which has been made worse with seizure meds.
