With interactable Epilepsy meds won't control your seizures ... They may tone your seizures down from a generalized seizure to many absent seizures a day (as I have and prefer lol because my full generalized seizures were a Grand mal/Tonic clonic and having 14 a week before surgery) hense the word interactable you have a form of epilepsy and the doctors are still trying to figure it out also - I am 33 dionosed at the age of 7 and doctors are still puzzled I am now dionosed "Interactable Epilepsy and Brain Injury" due to my surgery
