I was diagnosed with epilepsy a year and a half ago and have complex partial seizures and tonic-clonic seizures. Since my medication was changed in February 2013 to Tegretol I have only had one tonic-clonic seizure (previously was having them every 4-6 weeks) and the frequency of the complex-partial seizures has decreased as the dose of Tegretol has been increased, before Christmas I had been 5 weeks without a seizure and 4 weeks prior to that seizure.
My seizures increased in January with my exams and had started to settle (one every 2 weeks) but in the last 2 weeks the seizures have become far more frequent. I had 3 last week, 2 on Tuesday and several Tuesday night. I think I may also have had seizures last night, I don't know for sure but I felt strange. I saw the doctor on Wednesday and he increased my medication but he seemed concerned about the increase in frequency of the seizures and I have to see him tomorrow and some time next week.
Does anyone know what could of caused this, should I be worried? I'm worried it could be leading to something big (maybe a tonic-clonic seizure) and that I'm going to end up in hospital.
