I appreciate your concern and asking on health care magic. I would suggest the following:
1. Give him medicine for the epilepsy which he is already taking. You can share the medicine details and dose can be adjusted accordingly.
2. Need to add sedative and antipsychotic medication for a while to reduce the activity that you have mentioned.
3. If you can share the medicines that he is taking, I can suggest any changes or additions needed. I hope you find this helpful.
