Only if has ADD: Some children have both seizures and adhd. Stimulants have some risk of increasing risk of seizures; but, usually, if seizures are well controlled, adding stimulants or other adhd medications will have little to no effect on seizures and may greatly help other aspects of the child's functioning.
