How does concerta affect brain waves?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
EEG and Concerta: any psychostimulant taken prior to obtaining an EEG can produce a lowering of the seizure threshold and the appearance of epileptiform discharges on an EEG.there have been several studies looking at a background rhythm with individuals who have various forms of attentional disorder.you can Google EEG and ADHD to find some of these references.From a management standpoint the most significant finding would be the unmasking of seizure activity.
