Some medications used to treat ADHD cause seizures, which are sudden loss of consciousness accompanied by muscle contractions. The medications that cause this side effect do so very rarely. However, it is a serious side effect, although it usually improves when the patient stops taking the treatment.
What is the relationship between ADHD treatment and seizures?
Some medications used to treat ADHD cause seizures. Convulsions are sudden loss of consciousness accompanied by muscle contractions. This is a serious side effect that can sometimes be fatal.
This is a very rare side effect and is thought to affect less than 1 in 10,000 patients who receive these medications. This side effect is more common in people who are predisposed to it, for example people with epilepsy or brain injuries. In most cases, the seizures do not reoccur when the patient stops taking the treatment that caused them.
