There are different class of antiepileptics. Secondly, tapering is done when fits are controlled,thus proper follow up with concerned doctor is required. He is supposed to tell further plan, knowing complete history
Anti-epileptic medicine can cause sedation. Your friend can consult me for the dosage adjustment so that he won't face this problem.
Regards,
Dr. Hamza
