[QUOTE="tinamarie1, post: 38955, member: 255"] I can't remember the name of the seizure medication. Basically the doctor said that his case was so mild, most people don't take medications, and the medications were just a precaution that he wouldn't one day have an actual seizure. We could not notice a difference from when he was on the medications to when he wasn't. Some of the medications we have tried are: depakote ridilan adderal adderal xr? or rx? i think rispideral? difficult child had crazy reactions, everything from losing 20 pounds and refusing to eat at all, to extreme hallucinations audible and visual, also raged out of control on adderal. There were some others that the doctor said greatly increased his risk of getting diabetes (we have a family history anyway) and she would not suggest trying those. Now keep in mind, it has been a few years since he has been on any medications. They may have new ones out now. Well this is what I did after reading your posts, I looked up neuropsychologist. doctors in VA Beach (our new home this summer) and asked if they did evaluations on children and yes they do. So i went ahead and sched. an appointment for him. I am going to have a long talk with- husband tonite and see if he will atleast agree to talk to the doctor before totally saying no to medications, if that is what difficult child needs. *sigh* I have always felt like there was so much more there than just adhd, but husband would never let me look into that, or always shuts me off when I try to discuss it. i guess to him adhd is more socially acceptable than lots of other things.
