General & Family Physician 's  Response
The dose given by your doctor is OK.

but if symptoms of weakness doesn't disappear after some days, the medication needs to be changed. please ask your doctor to change medications if the patient is not happy with her medicines.

further you did not specify cause of such anaemia. anaemia with seizure need to be tackled carefully as many anti epileptics themselves cause decreased blood cells. she needs very active treatment for anaemia.

if your doctor did not prescribed any thing for correction of anaemia, I suggest you to consult a general physician (MD gen.med) for complete treatment.
