Reflex epilepsy

Hi my name is elina, my son developed atonic seizures when he was only four months old which occurred only when he was put in the bath. He was then diagnosed with reflex epilepsy. The seizures now seem to be changing, the seizures now start with a startle then he ppens his eyes and breathes deeply usually he also regurgitates his milk they last up to a minute and are only occurring during his sleep.

He was started on phenobarbitone a week ago and not noticed a seizure since - though if I am asleep I will not see it.
Are there any other moms with a similar experience?
