Seizure Meds? Why seizures, fatigue and help?

Seizure Meds?

I'm wondering why my 23 y/o daughter, on Keppra 1500mg per day, was told by her neurologist that even on medication she has an 80% chance of a seizure if she doesn't follow a healthy diet, if she doesn't get adequate rest and hydration, and especially if she has stress. The doctor told her stress is a huge trigger of seizures. These days I don't see how stress can be alleviated - I thought if she dutifully took her meds as prescribed - this would prevent any breakthrough seizures.

She also has a 1.1cm pineal cyst and a prolactin level of 35 and a spider angioma (parietal). The doctor insists these are not the cause of her seizures.

Any thoughts?
Thank you!

I for one totally disagree that seizures come on for no apparent reason.  There is always a reason for someone having a seizure and/or Epilepsy.  You just have to look long enough and deep enough and research enough and you will find the answers you seek.

I also say anyone can have seizures even if you take your meds on time.  Otherwise, your meds would equal a cure.  That, has not happened yet. It would be wonderful to take a anti-seizure med or two and never have another seizure again but, that is all in your imagination.

Seizures happen with or without meds.  Many things trigger them and everyone's triggers are different from each other. dualdis3

A frequent cause of seizures would be the anemia of CFS, CFIDS. FM ...

That fatigue is not generally found by doctors. A cause of seizures in the definition I found that goes with this would be from 'lack of oxygen'

HELP? What might stop a body from going 'autoimmune?'

"One of the most important discoveries in health and disease of the last 10 years or so, may be that the production of the sugars that the body requires to form glycoproteins (cellular messenger molecules) is quite ATP intensive, ADP intensive, vitamin/mineral dependant, and enzyme dependant."
