Suggest Treatment For Seizure

My wife has been having seizures for 2 years now...SHAKING EYES ROLL BACK, SLEEPS AFTERWARDS FOR APPROX. 3-5 HOURS AFTERWARDS. She had these back 22 years ago but we got them stopped by taking Depakote and Dilantin...Seizure free for a year and doctor slowing reducedd meds until she was off totally... and was good up until 2 years ago. This doctor is giving her Gabapentin and Depakote, which is really doing no good. She has them almost every day, but he doctor keeps her on this meds. What would suggest doing at his point ?? Thank you in advance Rod G.
