Was the medication prescribed by a psychiatrist? Is your son taking the medication by morning or night? Flunil can initially worsen anxiety before improving the same. You need to consult your psychiatrist again or get a second opinion from another psychiatrist online. Good luck.

Flunil is supposed to be taken in the morning post breakfast
Please make sure you aren’t taking it at night
Inspite of this, if he still has sleep issues, confusion, kindly review back with your treating psychiatrist at the earliest
