Hello,
he medications are right and your doctor has appropriately increase the dosage when it was not controlled with a lower dosage. The highest doses can not be given right from the start and so gradually these medications have to be adjusted. If seizures are not controlled with 1 medication then others have to be added. For some patients it is a long and truly frustrating experience to reach at the correct dose and combination.
Good luck.
