For a child with ADHD and epilepsy who is taking Levipil and Risperidone but shows irritability, it is important not to change medicines on your own, as seizure control must be maintained. Discuss your concerns with your pediatric neurologist, who can adjust medications safely to reduce irritability while keeping seizures under control.
