Suggest Treatment For Seizures Despite Taking Medication

Hi, I was diagnosed with neurocysticercosis in April,2016. I have visited 3 doctors since then. First dr said after checking mri that the parasite is already dead and there is a lesion which is causing the sezuires. He gace tagrital,frisium and medrol. I went to a doctor in apollo for second opinion and he said the same thing but gave me genteel and glyserol and asked me continue the other medicines. I continued with medicines but after a year and half I received seizures again. And now I am seeing another doctor who prescribed oxetol 450 & 600. But now after a year 14/09/16 I started receiving 4 to 5 seizures a day. Doctor added eptoin 100 3times, inj epsoin 1000 sameday on 16th, oxetol 600 2 times a day, wysolone 60 40 20 has to be taken. And helirab empty stomach. Now according to all three dr if that parasite was already dead and turned into a lesion then why I am receiving these seizures. Also to let you there is only one lesion not multiple. And the size of lesion is same which was there an year ago. I am a vegetarian and maintain good hygeine. Also I play badminton semi intermediate daily for an hour. I do yoga, goes for walk and gym too. Please help because its more then 3 & 1/2 years and there has been no change. Initially I use to receive seizures occasionally but after 14 SEP there are 4 to 5 episodes a day.
On 16th when I was epsolin 1000 I received seizures whole night after every 30 min. 17 and 18 sep no seizures but 19 and 20 7 episodes. My hair have greyed totally and stomach has deteriorated. Please help because I am really dipressed now.

the parasite though dead when treated upon by antiparasitic drugs has tendency of bursting open and causing inflammatory reaction ,hence you are developing seizures
