Hi XXXXX
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
I have rwad your history and there is no doubt left thatyou are having an epilepsy, the length of description is sufficient to indicate the desperation.
that is why you want to switch to to alternative medicine.
Epilepsy is a serious issue and Alternative medicine is No alternative here.
They do not understand epilepsy, they treat symptoms. You may land up in getting more damage.
Blood pressure is well knownto spike during the seizure episodes.
Your neurologist is surely the right person to report, do not stop the medicines without reporting to him, you can tell your problems.
There are a lot of great antiepilepsy drug in today's medicine and am am sure you will get a solution.
You can request you neurologist for a Broadest spectrum drug like Valproate sodium to start with to control the abnormal movements and to fine tune it subsequently if they can come to a more fitting conclusion.
I would like you to be on safer side and not to resort to anything unproven.
treating epilepsy thorugh Alternative medicine in this days light is like planning to go around the earth by a bullock cart.
Do not take it otherwise, just wanted to elucidate the riskier side of your idea.
