In the February 1973 issue of Pediatrics, the Committee on Drugs presented a concise review of the use of d-amphetamine (Dexedrine) and related central nervous system stimulants in children. They stated, "At present there are only two valid indications for the use of amphetamines in childhood: (1) the hyperkinetic syndrome, and (2) the rare condition of narcolepsy." It is unforunate that the Committee overlooked the use of amphetamines in epilepsy as another valid indication. The amphetamines play a very important role in the management of the epileptic patient, particularly in minimizing or alleviating anticonvulsant-induced drowsiness.
