you should see a Neurlogist .How are you getting your Medicine with out seeing one,this seem bad. You need to get a EEG done to make sure things have not changed and it will be very hard since you have not seen one in a very long time.

You should see a neurologist. My family has a history of epilepsy and I know that the stages and severeness of it can differ in people but My Nan was taking medication for her period of life. She was still have seizures in her sleep and needed to be on it. You should see a neurologist however. It is hard to tell not knowing when Your last seizure etc was
