I went through your details. Children diagnosed with epilepsy are at increased risk for having problems with attention and behavior. Children with epilepsy have an increased prevalence of ADHD. The ADHD could be due to the epilepsy drug. Antiepileptics associated with ADHD-like side effects include phenobarbital, gabapentin, vigabatrin and topiramate. Many studies underline the above facts.
