Eslicarbazepine is a sodium channel blocker. It inhibits the firing of those neurons that are responsible for seizure activity, thereby reducing seizure frequency. If it will remove your seizures completely, that's a question that only time will answer, but eslicarbazepine has been shown to do it in very refractory patients. Good luck!
