As you getting seizure even after taking lavera , you have two options- either increase the dose of current medicine under guidance of neurologist or change to another medicine . I think as your seizure was controlled on valprol, you can be shifted to same one and it less likely to harm your baby . It only produced teratogenic effect  on baby during pregnacy
