Nine year old taking adderall for 3 months has had two seizures is adderall the cause?
I was wondering the same thing, I am 26 years old & have never had seizures. I have been taking Adderall for about 4 years now. Prior to this last year I would take "Adderall vacations" when not in school. However I had an extremly difficult year as i was finishing up my degree, interning, & working- along with my daily life obligations such as household duties & what not. A few times I started having what I could only imagine were seizures a few times a night. I would have between 3-7 a night when it happened, which was only about 6 times. I researched it on the internet & found that when overly exhausted, adderall can cause neurons to misfire causing a synaptic transmission. The information intended for a certain neurotransmitter never reaches it (assisting in smooth transmission of info to parts of the brain where ADHD people are lacking is generally what adderall assists with) I read that amphetamines can cause mioclonic (may be spelling that wrong) seizures. I went to the neurologist to get an EKG & they saw nothing. (But in my opinion this is only bc I did not have any occurances during the 3 days that I wore the monitor!!!) It has happened several times since then, however I now just keep telling myself it will be over in a few seconds & it'll be ok. When it has happened to me, I have no control over any part of my body, my heart beat raises (although that can probably be attributed tostarting to get freaked out), but I can hear whats going on around me & think clearly. I also have ranged from not shaking at all to shaking enough that my fiance can feel it in the bed. It has never happened to me during the day only at night while attempting to fall asleep & like I started to say before people with ADHD's minds are on overdrive & jump from one thing to the next (as I'm sure is evident from this response lol) & the info is just shooting around inside & causing interactions with other parts of the brain (wow that was about the most preschool way of saying that) I'm sure I didn't convey exactly what I was attempting. So basically yes it is absolutely possible, even if you took your child to the dr & they said otherwise, you & your child know their body best so don't settle for what a dr says if you believe it is causing it.
