Is your son having focal aware seizures where he is awake & aware of what is going on or having focal impaired seizures where his consciousness is to some degree impaired.
Is you son actually experiencing side effects and if so which ones, or are you concerned of potential side effects that may affect him later?
If his doctor allowed him to have seizures for 5 years without any alterations to his medication I'd recommend finding a new doctor.
Can you describe what happens during one of your sons typical seizures, how often does he have them? How long has he had epilepsy?
Take care,
Jake

Thank you Jake
It started when he was nine years, with shaking legs, hands and head. EEG
test was done and the medications were recommended, But now,
his head turns right and eyes as
well for like 3 minutes . Sometimes he pee on himself.
The side effects of the drugs is causing tremors in his hands.
There's shortage of valporic acid here in my country ( Nigeria, West
Africa) and I have to source for generic one so as not to stop. Yet his
seizures is yet to be controlled (as he had it twice in a month)
Thank you
