[|AI|]  Hello ! I read your question and understand your concern. I would like to know if he has had seizures before the 3 last seizures you mentioned. The increased daytime sleepiness may be a side effect of phenytoin sodium. This happens in the beginning of therapy or over dosage. But in this situation I would recommend to make further tests to find the cause of these seizures. If I were his doctor I would perform an EEG and a brain MRI or CT besides full blood work. Seizures at this age may be caused by a brain lesion, probably tumor or vascular, infectious, etc. This lesion could also cause stiffness in legs. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes
