Hi, I have read your question and understand your concerns regarding your son’s condition.

Answer: There is no known interaction reported amongst these medications. However, some of the drugs can lead to anorexia (loss of appetite) especially Felbamate and depakote.

Please make sure that he is eating well. If eating is not a problem then I would recommend that he sees a doctor to look for other causes of weight loss.

Hope this helps and please do not hesitate to contact me for any further clarification.
