Childhood epilepsy reappearing as an adult.

I was diagnosed with left temporal epilepsy after having TC at 6, had complex partials and the occasional TC for years. All of my seizures started the same way, intense fear, déjà vu, rising throat feeling. Flash forward to 23 I start getting the throat feeling and fear (less déjà vu this time but sometimes intensely as well) but it is now followed with intense palpitations. I went to a neurologist and they gave me the last meds I was on at 12 (Lamotrigine). However, I keep finding myself doubting if they’re actually seizures due to my brain associating the feeling with the term “aura” instead and it’s making me second guess myself, does anyone has any kind of similar experience?
