How Effective Is Epilim For Seizures ?

Hi,
My son started having seizures at 5 yrs. He's been on Epilim since and seizure free, he's 13 now. He has Asperger's, ADHD and seizures.I've been told he shouldn't go on Epilim in case the seizures return especially as he's a teen and some mental health issues can occur and Epilim cant be restarted then. Not sure what they mean.
Thanks
Phil
