Hello,
It is true that Eptokind can cause seizure, but that is very rare side effect. It is a commonly used medication for seizure control. The propensity to cause seizure is more in a few patents with a particular type of epilepsy (seizures). As for Atarax, it will be required only for short period and so risk of seizure because of that is not much. At this point it will be advisable to stick to your doctor's advice.
good luck.
