Hello
Welcome to HCM

You have mentioned that you have seizures in right legs characterized by uncontrollable movements and probably without the loss of consciousness. Most likely these are partial seizures. You have taken multiple medicines like Phenytoin, Sodium Valproate, Levatiracetam, Carbamazepine, Topiramate etc and with no or poor relief. See a lot of people with epilepsy don't respond to single drug so they are advised to take combination drugs. Levatiracetam is a good drug that is used to augment the action to other broad spectrum drugs like Phenytoin, Carbamazepine etc. Consult a good doctor for detailed evaluation again. Get your MRI done in order to rule out any lesion in brain.

Thanks
