u should be perticular about antiepileptic medications. Even missing single dose can cause seizures.
Lamotriene is good drug with fewer side effects.U are taking very minimal dose. It can be increase if seizures persist.
symptoms described by u are not seizures.Rule out local cause for throat pain.
