Neurologist 's  Response
first we have to make sure the diagnosis of seizures.
as u mentioned his tests are normal and taking medication a in appropriate dosing......I think make sure whether he is getting actual seizures or not....
best thing is to do video recording of these events and show them to ur neurologist. it's important because of treatment implications and long term prognosis.
