I do take medication but one of them is outdated but I can't stop taking it because I risk having another seizure, so I'm confused & don't know what to do?

Call the Epilepsy Foundation. They helped me find a level 4 Epilepsy Center near me. They told me to walk in and tell them what was going on. Keep taking whatever medicine is still available. Get an appointment and keep it. 2 to 6 months ain't bad. If it is too bad, get to an urgent care. Also, clinicaltrials.gov may have clinical trials you could get into sooner than a neurologist. Keep at it. You've come this far and you're worth it. Keep posting. I've added you to my team.
