Hello Welcome to HCM

He is on Sertraline which is an anti-anxiety drug. The drug is used in social phobic disorder. He is also taking Valprin chrono which is an anti-epileptic drug as well as also used in mood disorders. It is safe to use these drugs together but as per my opinion probably your son is also having some mood disorder or some form of seizure disorder. The both drugs tend to increase anxiety and sedation which is the reason that he is having problem in concentration. I would recommend you to consult his doctor again for revaluation. Over all one can use the drugs together without any serious interaction.

Thanks
