ADHD
"My 7 year old who has had epilepsy since age 1 was diagnosed with ADHD about a year ago.  We recently started him on Focalin XR as his first form of treatment.  A little afraid of the side effects because he has had severe side effects in the past from various seizure medicines, but once we found the right seizure medicine for him he&#039;s been seizure free.  Our next task was of finding an ADHD medicine that would work well with the seizure medicine -this was a bit frightening.  He&#039;s been on Focalin for about a month and it really is a wonder drug.  I have a goal in life to keep my kids off drugs, but I&#039;ve accepted that some medicines are needed in children.  This stuff is a blessing to my family and most importantly to my son."
