Why Lamictal And Trileptal Dose Increased For Seizure?

I have epilepsy and although I have had a left temporal lobectomy I have just have had a major seizure 2 days ago. They are currently replacing Keppra with Lacmictal. Will my seizures ever stop and what doe of medication may be best for me to reduce visitng hospital so often. I am on 200 lamictal b/d 600/900 trileptal and 250/500 Keppra (n.b morning Keppra ws only brought back in yesterday. Main question is what should my lamictal and trileptal dose be increased to, (if the way to go). Please be aware I eat and sleep fine.
