Get Strong Tonic-clonic Seizures If Forgot Medication. Advised Lamictal. Memory Loss, Depression. Cause Of Medication? Is It Seizure?

I have had 3 tonic-clonic seizures, the first was 5 years ago. I have experiences the same type of auras before all 3. I also get strong auras when I forget to take my medication a few times. I take 200 ml of lamictal in the morning and at night. I beleive my memory problems are related to the medication and thats why i forget to take it. My short term memory is always bad but the last few days I forget what im saying from one sentence to the next. Im having a buzzing/pulsing feeling on the top of my brain periodically for the last 2 days, sometimes its minutes long sometimes its hours. I've been working very long hours on little sleep during that time and I've been very stressed. I am not usually emotional but anything remotely sad and i start crying. Am i having a seizure?
