Adderall Side Effects

Posted by [email protected] on March 13, 1999, at 21:30:45

I have a fifteen year old son. Who has had a slight seizure today
He has been tried on Wellbutrin and Adderall. He had
two small seizures on Wellbutrin. It seems when the
medication starts to help he has to be switched.
What can I do? It's very frustrating for him and me.

All of the stims and AD's carry a slight risk for
seizures...esp for those with an underlying seizure disorder. I assume the Dx here is a LD (or ADD) so you need to see if there is another condition that has not been discovered yet. What does his doc say about all of this? What kind of doc are you seeing? What kind of testing has been done ?
