Medicines are tools. Not every med is going to work the same way on every single person. What is important is what works best for you. That is why they call medicine a "practice" and not an "exact science".
There are many different types of seizures and many different varieties of convulsive disorders. Some anticonvulsants will work for certain conditions and not others. The specific type of seizures you get entirely as well as your historic response to anticonvulsants determines the right treatment.
