General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome to Healthcare magic . Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.

I would suggest you to
1. Go for Tab Sodium valproate (200mg) 1 tab thrice daily to start with.
2. If she is already having a drug.. i wud consider adding Tab Levetiracetam (500mg) 1 tab twice daily.
3. Meanwhile get an EEG and MRI brain done.

Most seizure are well controlled with drugs, but regular intake and adherence to treatment is a must.

Visit a neurologist as soon its convinient for you.
He/she can examine her and correlate clinically.
Do not worry much.
Post any other query and i shall be happy to help.

Hope this helps.
Have a nice day.
Regards.

Neurologist,  Dr. HITESH KUMAR's  Response
I need to know the types of seizures, frequency of seizures and current medications of seizures. Also need MRI Brain and EEG test done. Your Medicines need to be kept which do best control of seizures with least/none side effects. Epilepsy is a controllable disease.
