Can increased meds cause seizures to return??

Mon, 08/21/2006 - 22:33
I was diagnosed with complex partial seizures in April. After starting my meds, I thought I was "cured". About a week ago my doctor upped my dosage to 600mg of Tegretol a day since my levels in blood tests weren't high enough (so he says) Today I had three small seizures within seven hours. Is it true that complex partials are one of the hardest types to control with meds? could the increased dosage cause it? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
