I have already done an eeg and an mri with contrast. I have tried the first two drugs, and they made me feel worst than ever. I will upload the two reports to you.
After you have review them, maybe they is another solution to this disorder.

I have never had any types of seizures before, no one in my family has had any seizures before.
