[QUOTE="laurensmyprincess, post: 194245, member: 2898"] We got the neuropsychologist results back and she met all of the criteria for ADHD. Not surprised in the least -- we have been grappling with these symptoms for years. She is extremely unfocused and has a very hard time attending to anything really. Epilepsy and ADHD have a coexistance statistic of around 30%. And, in those with epilepsy, ADHD affects both boys and girls equally. The psychiatric agreed to try Ritalin. She wants to try short acting first to see what kind of reaction she has. She wants to monitor this carefully because of her epilepsy. If the short acting seems to be working okay, we will discuss a longer acting one. Experiences? I'm hoping this will be good for her. [/QUOTE]
