Welcome to Healthcaremagic, You are not taking the effective dose of Valpro. You see your treating Neurologist / Neuro-Psychiatrist who will monitor your effective dose of the same medicine or if feels may add some other drug. You have not to worry as epilepsy can be well controlled. Please see your doctor immediately. Thanks.
