Avatar n tn Yes, ADHD is Hereditary. However, it is not unusual for only one child in a family to have it. Or to even skip a generation or for neither parents to have it, but an Uncle, etc. Point, being - your child might or might not have it. However, if your child has it - it does not condemn him/her to going through what you went through. Chances are your parents had no clue what ADHD was and that effected how you were treated.

Avatar m tn My son just started licking his fingers constantly. It appears to be some kind of habit. It has been thought by his pediatrician that he has OCD. However, we have not taken him to a specialist yet on the OCD behavior. After we asked our son about his finger licking, he said that he couldn't stop. He has suffered from two seizures in the past two years that were 15 months apart and hasn't suffered from one since April 2012. He has had a CT Scan and a EEG.
Avatar n tn Many doctors these days more so say every child is ADD or ADHD with out checking everything else and parents don't know better. Blood work should be done to rule out things also EEG and MRI. Also look at what is going on with the family ,like have there been changes in the family,are children being mean st School. If he is on drugs for his ADD they do have side effects that can change them and should be looked at to make sure he is not having any of them.again blood work EEG.
Avatar n tn My son developed seizure at the age of 3 for the first time showing temporary facial and eye deviation to right side. we took eeg which reported an abnormal sleep eeg record S/o localisation related epilepsy from left fronto central region. since then he was under medication for epilepsy starting from a dose of 100mg of carbamezine tablet which was raised to 250 mg in due course of 2 yrs.
Avatar n tn I am a mom of 9 year old ADHD boy. He got diagnosed as ADHD 2 years ago. We tried different medicine on different doses; but the side effects really worry me. So, we are looking for some alternative treatment to help him. I appreciate any comments on the NeuroFeedBack or any other possible treatments. Thanks in advance!
Avatar f tn Need help with my 4 year old he is having stomach spasms since he fell off a swing. We have had numerous testing done eeg, X-ray, ultrasound ....ruled out nerve damage from fall/ seizures/ He acts like a normal boy and doesn’t seem to be in pain but his stomach literally has spasms everyday. I need answers I took him to numerous dr and no one can give me answers. Today I went to see a dr and he told me it could be affiliated with ADHD????
Avatar f tn An EEG can help you so you know that there is seizures going on and what side of the brain the waves are not normal on. People who have Seizures have a hard time learning and also do things they don't know they are doing and can't help they do these things.
Avatar n tn My daughters symptoms went away quickly my son need a pretty high dose because his symptoms were more severe. The tricky part in this is the ADHD because the ADHD meds can make OCD symtoms worse! They are stimulants. Try only the seratonin med first. Sometimes ADHD can be solved with only this. You need a good Neuropsychologist here for the Tourettes/ADHD. They are the brain chemical experts. Not a Neurologist. Insist on an MRI w/ your Neurologist though!
Avatar f tn I have adhd and aspergers. The combination isn't unusual.
Avatar f tn I have a child with ADHD and ODD and we are starting him on Intuiv so far it is like having him on no meds any one have any info or ideas. Also what is this Clonidine?
Avatar f tn We already keep him from riding bikes, skateboarding and soon swimming, because of his condition. To top all this off, he is also ADHD!! He cannot take his ADHD med because it will interfere with the epilepsy medicine. The Neurologist is doing another 24 EEG on Monday to see what is going on. Will this show Narcolepsy as well? Any help or advise or a friendly shoulder would be great. I am really a mess with all this. His school year has really tanked due to all of this.
Avatar n tn Doctor sent my son for a EEG and thou it would come back normal. I got a call saying he was sorry and that my son EEG Didn't come back normal and that he was sending us to see a Neurologist and that Doctor was not nice and wanted to know how I didn't know my son was having Seizures. They put my son in the Hospital and did a Video EEG and stared him on medicine to try and stop the Seizures.
Avatar f tn My 10 year old stepson just had an EEG performed and the doctor said it was abnormal, but not so abnormal that he needs to be on medication. He got the EEG due to having recurrent severe headaches. His father has a family history of epilepsy. My question is: should he be playing football? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/278055'>Abnormal Brain Activity -- Seizures or ADHD</a>.
Avatar f tn He also has ADHD and is on medication for that as well. He had really come along way with his behavior before having to be put on seizure meds. Now, his behavior is terrible. He is very short tempered, nervous, anxious, whinning a lot, constantly out of his seat at school and of course getting lots of notes from the teacher. Is this possibly caused by the Keppra? I really don't think it is his ADHD meds because he was doing so well before.
Avatar m tn I would ask to be seen by a Neroligest and have them do a EEG and only sleep for about four hours the night before the EEG ,so that you will go to sleep once the wires are on and you do what they ask of you to do. also Seizures can look like ADD/ADHD and is Misdiagnosed or can be from the drugs and Adderall is just one of many that has the side effects that can cause Seizures. also try taken Vitamin B6 and B12 and C Along with Omega 3-6-9 and A MultiVitamin every day.
Avatar f tn Frankly, if she has anxiety, I would try and deal with the cause which is probably ADHD. The best way to deal with ADHD is to really understand it. One book I have been recommending to do so is the, "ADD / ADHD Answer Book by Susan Ashley. Not sure where you are getting your information for meds, but if you haven't done so, I would look into a pediatric psychiatrist who specializes in ADHD.
Avatar f tn The tests I have had is a normal blood test, a eeg and that is it. I have been evaluated by many pdocs who have said things from ADHD-autism-depression-phychosis- and depersonalisation disorder all very vague.
Avatar n tn I am 22 years old, I was diagnosed with ADD then ADHD as a child. I quit taking Ritalin and Concerta after Elementary school if not before. I am in College now and my little brother(18) had 30 mg Adderall. So I asked him if I could take one every Tuesday and Thursday before class. So last Thursday 2/11/10 was the very first pill I took.And gah did I feel great, I was focused in on my classes etc.
Avatar f tn The other thing I would do is take your son who has and is on Adderall to see a neurologist to make sure everything is OK with his brain .A lot of children who have been told they have add or adhd and even both add and adh are misdiagnosed because doctors ,teacher,parents don't think about having the children brains check for other things like Seizures.
Avatar f tn s a difficult combo to treat bipolar and ADHD bc it seems to me the ADHD meds would worsen the bipolar. Is he more aggressive since he started the Concerta? If so, tell the psychiatrist, Ritalin is a stimulant drug and stimulants make bipolar worse. It sounds like a REALLY tough situation and it sounds like he is not very stable mood-wise. Try to remember he has two illnesses. Also try not to beat yourself up if you lose it.
Avatar n tn First has your child had an EEG and A MRI or a Catscan. Seizures can cause the jerks. Also drugs for ADD and ADHD and Bipolar . My son grinds his teeth some time to . But his has nothing to do with Seizures and the doctors said don't worry about it because if you do he will do it even more. Do you give your child a multivitamin? Also blood work up should be done to test for everything and anything that could be wrong.
Avatar f tn My 8 year old son has adhd and autism. Hes not violent towards other children but is very violent towards himself. He starts occupational therapy next week and just started seeing a psychiatrist a month ago. His next appt is Thursday morning and the doctor is wanting to put him on abilify or resperdil and I was wondering if anyone has used either of these and if they helped or had any bad side effects.
Avatar f tn I'm 18 years old and last night my father heard me having a fit and walked in to find me choking on an excessive amount of saliva and face turning blue. I woke up a little bit after the episode and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. This has happened once before that I'm aware of where a mate tried to wake me during the episode by physical force but didn't wake until morning. I'm currently taking concerta for adhd.
Avatar m tn I know blood work and EEG,MRI wont show ADD or ADHD. It can show if there is something going on in the brain ,Because not everything can be seen .Blood work can show if blood levels are not normal in some area's and there is also a blood test that can show you if the person has . Fragile X Syndrome is diagnosed with a simple blood test, called the FMR-1 gene test. This is the only accurate way a diagnosis can be mad.
