first be sure whether it is tuberous sclerosis or tuberculosis. ..!!!
anyway it must be tuberculosis as she is getting anti TB medications. As u mentioned she is taking three medications for seizures. but if seizures are persistent then optimizer the drug.if still no benefit then try tab oxcabazrpine instead of valproate.
anti TB medications and valproate cause liver dysfunction. so taking both at a time needs close monitoring of liver functions ( SGOT, SGPT).
