Epilepsy and medican

My son just found out that he is an epilepsy he's 23 years old.  Never had a problem until now.  He started with temp memory loss and the doctor put him on 2 Exelon Patches per day to help him with the memory loss and also he now on Oxcarbazepine 300 mg.  My question is with him taking these two type of medications he is still having seizure and cant sleep.  Me as a mother do know what to think and do to help him.  Can someone help me with this.  My son loves to go out and dance and maybe has a couple of beers is the beer causing the seizures or is the body heat causing the seizure?  What should I do when he falls on the floor and jurks?  He comes out of the seizure within 5 mins.

Alcohol is prohibited. Yes, the beers can induce the siezures.

Siezures have many etiologies. You really need to obtain the permission of your son to speak with his treating physician.

I had Epilepsy diagnosed and my first seizure at age 30 - my social life improved.  I cared more about what my life and work was doing to me. My guess is that any beer or alcohol is hirting your son.  An average seizure is over in within 5", though mine are longer.  There is info on first aid for epilepsy. Definitely if he falls protect his head against anything hard or sharp.
During or after a seizure he may have mucus which can be relieved by turning him to the side.  If he isn't out of the seizure in 5"and/or if he is injured and bleeding, call the hospital or emergency #.  See his doctor for other help.
