does your son has myoclonic jerks in day time also? does he have some some kind of seizures other than febrile seizures?
During sleep few myoclonic jerks are normal.
Levipil is newer anti epileptic effective for myoclonic jerks and comapred to other medicines, it has least interactions with other drugs and in liver and kidney patients.
Levipil also has few side effects- but specifc one is psychosis and abnormal behavior
