Suggest Medication For Seizure

I was on depekote for 25 years for grand-mal seizures, my dr. was recently changed due to having parkinsons, i just met this new dr. for 5 mins. i had a seizure in his office, and he stated he didn t see it on a eeg, so he took me off of my depekote after all those years and does not know me, or my history, and didn t bother checking, now i m having seizures again, and he put me on 200mg, of topamax, and the emergency room dr. put me on kepra, i m not doing well at all. what shall i do?
