Hi Dear

From the symptoms that you have mentioned, it appears that your chils suffers from a juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME, a form of seizure). The drug treatment being offered to him includes valproate (desval), clonazepam (rivotril), and tetrabenazine (revocon). These are the standard therapies for the treatment of JME. The effects of these medications takes some time to appear. How long has your son been taking these medications?

You could consult your doctor and in case these medications are not being that effective, other alternative medicines like lamotrigine could be used.

Best..
