I agree get tested by a neurologist, I think the metallic taste/blacking out might be telling but you'll never know unless you get tested...maybe you have already. A sleep-deprived eeg is a more accurate indicator of epileptiform activity.
I was misdiagnosed for decades but one of the things that tipped my drs. off was the fact that I smelled bizarre odors prior to my attacks that others around me didn't smell.
Some people have a treatment-resistant epilepsy and need surgery to remove the lesions that are causing the problem. I'm guessing that's why your med is not controlling this?
