Hi,
Thank you for your query.
In a case of epilepsy investigations can be normal. The description given by you is suggestive of epilepsy for which the doctor has rightly prescribed Topamax. Do continue it. Epilepsy can be very well controlled by drugs and an individual can lead a normal life.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your son all the best.
Regards,
RKK
