Does your son have myoclonic jerks in daytime also? Does he have some kind of seizures other than febrile seizures? During sleep few myoclonic jerks are normal. Level is newer anti-epileptic effective for myoclonic jerks and compared to other medicines, it has the least interactions with other Chat Doctor.  Level also has few side effects- but specific one is psychosis and abnormal behavior
