subject: Seizure?

Hi ya all,
Would like some input on a situation.  Have a friend whose son is on Ritalin.
Takes 20 mg in the morning, and 10 in the afternoon.  It seems he's trying 
hard
to handle himself and at times has gotten extremely extremely upset.
During these times like twice in the past several weeks.  He was noted while
speaking, his eyes rolling.  This he does not say he does and of course is
not going into any real seizure, like shaking.  It happened several years
ago and the doctor noted it.  But its happening again and this time more
than once.  The doctor does not still think anything of it because he is
not shaking.  I and she thinks this may be some sort of epileptic attack
brought on by extreme stress because he is trying so hard to control himself.
Is it possible that Ritalin can do this?  I believe she should change
doctors as this doctor is taking everything so lightly.  Any comments would
be appreciated.
Regina
