[quote=Anonymous]We did one after our son had a night seizure, and it came out normal, did an overnight one and it showed spiking. I would def test if they see zoning out. We've medicated for epilepsy and seen huge improvements in our son's add. Spiking can cause all kinds of issues. Absence seizures can be hard to pick up. But given that ongoing seizure activity can cause major problems and that you are going to medicate and some medications increase the seizure risk I would absolutely do the eeg. There is also new research indicating that if a child does not respond to adhd treatment an eeg should be done and the child treated if the eeg is abnormal. It's pretty interesting. Bottom line, huge upside of treating any seizures, low discomfort of doing the test. I know it's rare and a pain but the different for my kid has been huge. [/quote]
