Your welcome Rebecca . It may also help him open up if you could get him in a support group . Whether it be thru the Epilepsy Foundation or an independent group. When I was younger during my preteens , I thought I was the only one with epilepsy. Then when my mom started to see how depressed I was , she started to take me to the Epilepsy Foundation support groups . It taught me a lot . Learning from the staff and learn from the others in the group.

Hi , Rebecca . The best thing to do , is call the Epilepsy Foundation in NE. They might be able to help you find locations for an Epileptologist. Another thought, is a lot of university colleges have Epileptologists.

I myself am on Keppra and a few of the many side effects is making the person drowsy , dizzy, and unbalanced. Every morning when I wake up it takes me an hr. To 2 hrs. to get out of my zombie tired mode.

You may want to find an Epileptologist. They understand all there is about Epilepsy. Plus they are a neurologist. They may possibly find more than one path for you epilepsy. I've had an Epileptologist since my 20's. They have done a lot with me.

I hope so . I made some friends when I was with my support group. We exchanged numbers and ect. But today I've lost contact to them. .

I am going to check to see if there is a support group for his age close by. He is against it but I think it would help meeting kids his age with it.Even if he does support group on line, that would help.
