Thanks for posting your query and writing the history in detail. I read it with diligence.
I am sorry for the delay in my response.
Your son most probably seems like having seizures, which will best fit in the category of complex partial seizures. Though medication that your son was prescribed is a good medication for these type of seizures, rarely it may worsen some seizure types.
Thankfully, a large number of medications are available for seizures. Those medications may be started and escalated under the supervision of a neurologist. Sometimes first medication does not work and in that case either other medicine has to be tried or a combination of medications has to be given.
Do not lose heart and persist with the treatment. You may consider visiting a center specialized in treatment of epilepsy.
Wish you good luck. If you have any further queries, I will be happy to help.
Regards,
