Will the meds be temporary?
If they suspect epilepsy, why don't you give the ketogenic diet a try for a few months? Can't hurt; might help. There are a couple of researchers here (in the U.S.) who've theorized that a ketogenic diet might help with bipolar because it helps some people with epilepsy. One guy in California got research money from SAMSHA to study it but couldn't get enough people who were willing to go on the diet.
