Yes it is an antidepressant with a combination of a mild sedative . It can cause slight weight gain. It’s usually taken for 5-6 months atleast. It’s not used as treatment for fits.

For that we need to evaluate that whether it's first episode or recurrent .Then we come to know and about fits or seizure first we should need to confirm that actually it's seizure or pseudo seizure then we can decide further..For that you can need psychiatry consultation for evaluate your symptoms properly..
