Answer:

The correct anwer for this exercise is:

Lamotrigine will improve her condition.

Explanation:

Olfactory aura and headaches are common in migraine with aura. Staring, unresponsiveness, and amnesia are uncommon. so, epileptic medicines like nortriptyline or propranolol won't be effective. And because nonepileptic seizures can be difficult of differentiating we need further scan and a different kind of drug, which in or case will be lamotrigine because it helps both conditions without increasing them. The rest mentioned help one but increase the other one.

Lamotrigine will likely improve her symptoms
