My pleasure @dolphfan!
Thank you for sharing that information about your sister. An epilepsy diagnosis typically requires two or more unprovoked seizures, so it's wonderful that she hasn't experienced any since.
After my diagnosis, I discovered that certain mood stabilizers can actually increase seizure activity. A psychiatrist prescribed me a mood stabilizer about a year before I was diagnosed with epilepsy, and it made my seizures worse.
Have you reported to this doctor who prescribed this mood stabilizer to you?

I have a mood disorder that I needs to stay on mood stabilizers just to get through my day. One of my meds that I am on is even a seizure medication but I'm not on it for that. I'm just keeping notes foe when I go to the neurologist so hopefully they can shed some light on what's going on.
