Our daughter graduated this year and we understand how difficult school can be if you have epilepsy. If the struggle in school is with academics, does your son have an IEP in place to help? There is also technology that might help, our daughter recently began using a smart pen for upcoming college classes. The pen records and helps with note taking. As far as friends, have you thought about getting him involved in an epilepsy group for teens? Sometimes meeting others going through the same helps. In regard to meds, has your son tried diet? Our daughter is on a version of the keto diet called the Low Glycemic Index Diet Treatment. It's easy for her to follow. Your son's doctor will need to prescribe the diet and a dietitian would guide you through it. Trust me, if we can do it, anyone can.

Hope this helps!
