5 mg for anxiety and worry and hx of headaches. He is 18 and has ADHD too. He has had severe insomnia since starting this and is supposed to go up to double the dose after 7 days. Is this normal during the inital phase? what is the best anti anxiety med for an 18 you male?
I have been diagnosed with ADHD multiple times before. But I am doing fairly well, my interest at the moment is the people I am living with.
I have 2 house mates and one child living here in my home.
They are all females, and much more than house mates we are like family, please note we are absolutely in way "involved" with each other, I am 38, and they are like my daughters to me.
One house mate, we shall "A" is 21, the other that we shall call "B" is 23.
OMG!
She has just got her learners permit, and I am so nervous driving with her, and cannot help, but worry what it is going to be like when she gets her license. Having a child with ADHD is challenging, having a teenager with ADHD is pure hell. Her anger issues have escilated and her social relationships continue to be negative. She is poor at relationship building. If it dosen't have the word"me" in the sentence, she is uninterested in anything.
It's amazing how people automatically call "disorder". If he's 18, then maybe he's normal.You know how many kids acy that way towards their parents?If he was in his 20's, I might agree, but there are to many teenagers being "diagnosed" with this and that these days. Maybe he needs an attitide adjustment.Where's his dad?Have you ever disciplined him, and I mean more than a "time out".

My 16 year old son has been dx with ADHD last year and we seem to have a flow of issues that have appeared. He has a high IQ and has compensated his attention issues until there was more time required on task. Perhaps hormones of teenagers has increased issues we are now seeing with anger, being oversensitive (over excitable?
Your son may well display ADHD, but it is important to arrange a thorough evaluation and not rush too quickly to the diagnosis. The on-line surveys can be useful tools to see if a person might display symptoms typical of ADHD, but a thorough assessment will consider a child's medical history, family history, current functioning at home and in school, possible alternative explanations for the symptoms identified on the surveys, etc.
After 2 1/2 weeks on the replacement hormone her symptoms have worsened and now her neck is so sensitive that she can't wear shirts that have a collar. After repeated calls to the doctor he increased her dosage to 100 mg and told us to wait for the medicine to take effect. My daughter has been feeling "sick" for 6 months and has gotten to the point where waiting a day longer for an improvement in her symptoms is asking too much.
Do you think he is getting enough sleep though? My teenagers seem to need a lot of sleep?
Well ADHD would have been present from childhood, so if it is only the last 3 years it is more likely depression.
Find the best psychiatrist you can, a GP will not do.
There is a very good depression community here that can help him.
My guess is if he is talking to you about it he is ready to do something/face it and I think you should take this very seriously.
I wish him and you the very best.
With your diagnosis did they put you on medications? If so, you need to give them time to work. It is trial and error. My son is 15, was diagnosed last June and we are still trying to get it under control.
Most of his symptoms are under control with medications, but we are having trouble with the nausea. Don't give up and don't overly push yourself, as it can make you worse. I've read with teens you are more likely to grow out of it, so just hang in there.
And opioid drugs like OxyContin, which are widely prescribed to adults for pain relief, are the third-most-popular drugs of abuse for teenagers. Both ADHD medications and OxyContin are easy to find in medicine cabinets and teenagers figure most parents will never notice if one or two pills go missing.
So, try to learn everything you can about add/adhd to help yourself. Not just the symptoms but read up on what things they do----- as there is much more than just meds.
I would not ASK for any type of med. Doctors are well versed on what is available and when it is necessary. If you ASK for a drug by name, this is often the pattern of drug seeking that you speak of. There are some types of medications that are not controlled/stimulant and maybe they will feel this is best to try.
I always thought you should wash your hands after using the toilet, but only always after a poo and that it's not the end of the world if you don't wash your hands after a wee. After researching it a bit, I've found quite a few cases of teenagers enjoying weeing but nothing about pooing. And you're right in saying that she'd hide it if it was a fetish. For what it's worth, Charlotte hasn't had a boyfriend for about a year now.
I hate to tell you this, but it sure sounds like pregnancy to me.
By the way, I have seen several studies that show that sleep apnea can produce ADHD like symptoms. In fact, there have been several posters on here that have had sleep apnea, been treated and their daytime behaviors definitely changed. Has anybody ever commented about you snoring or breathing loud at night? "Regardless of type, an individual with sleep apnea is rarely aware of having difficulty breathing, even upon awakening.
They can assess a person/child against a list of symptoms that are collectively named ADD/ADHD - for lack of much better understanding. When they test for the flu, they can list the symptoms and check them off (temp, ache, cough, etc), but they can also TEST for a virus and yes/no its there. But in medicine those symptoms alone can mean many things. Same for attention and hyperactivity.

Active 15-year-olds generate a LOT of perspiration ALL OVER THEIR BODIES so yes, they do need to change clothes daily, and with twins, you're going to have twice the smells. Are they "spunking"? Most likely - and somewhere in their room are two towels or wash cloths that are in desperate need of being washed.
hi i have a son who has adhd he is now 9 but i found out when he was 5 all children are nauty from time to time and age 4 they want to touch things and she may want to touch it again even though she has been told off for it, this doesnt mean she has adhd, adhd is a few other things like never sits still gets very bord quickly, concentration levels are not there, if u feel that she has these symptoms then go and see your doctor and they will get you help and tested good luck
The one thing I keep thinking is every guy on my side of the family has went downhill with drugs and self med in the teenagers yrs and never gets back to reality. I don't want to make the wrong move here.
In short, adhd symptoms. There was a reason why you started Vyvanse, and as you are now stopping it...those reasons are coming back.
If you have not done so....you need to read up on Ankylosis Sponilytis. It is a condition that will slowly get worse. And I am not sure that a muscle relaxer is recommended treatment. See - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ankylosing-spondylitis/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20354813 . And a muscle relaxer is certainly only short term treatment.
