I started out with Complex Seizures (Tonic-Clonic) and now I also have Simple Partial seizures as well. I take Carbatrol for them, but have been having Simple Partial seizures for years without knowing what they were. I have been on the same dose of medicine for ten years though. My blood levels have always been in the normal range. Not sure if just an increase in dosage is called for or a second medicine.
