Hi, does anyone have any information about Daytrana bringing on seizures? My 5 year old has been on it for about 6 weeks now and we LOVE the effects - he has PDD-NOS (autism spectrum) but has some OCD and ADHD symptoms. The Daytrana has allowed him to focus and his language has even improved. Today, however, he had his first seizure - not a big one, about 40 seconds long - but we're still scared. Any information would be great! We are seeing a neurologist and having an EEG this week, but I'd still love to hear from other parents.

Hello mimi598. I realize that its been some time since you asked your question but I'll answer it simply because of the danger factor in taking Daytrana and seizures. People taking Daytrana and then having a seizure, is considered to be a serious medical condition and warrants immediate medical help. You need to take your son to the nearest hospital. Not certain if you'll be reading this but I hope that all is well with your son, its been almost two years since you posted. Best wishes and good health to you both,pledge
