Avatar m tn I have a child myself that displayed things that some would say were adhd like symptoms. But he does not have adhd. He has sensory integration disorder which also affects the nervous system like add/adhd and can look similar. My child has never been on drugs but improved all around with occupational therapy. I would hate to put him on medication, myself. I think it should be a last resort. I don't blame parents for trying to understand their child better.
Avatar f tn He has been officially diagnosed as ADHD and ODD, for which he was prescribed Ritalin. He lost so much weight that his parents took him off of it for the summer. He gained back 12 pounds but now that school has started he refuses to take any medication. His behavior is getting worse and I now fear that he really has antisocial personality disorder.
Avatar f tn For now, medications should control the symptoms and psychosocial support can tame the manifestations of adhd as well. Regards and God bless...
Avatar f tn Have you tried Strattera for the ADHD because, unfortunately, most other medications that help the symptoms of ADHD are stimulants and will exaserbate the symptoms of BP.Good luck with your quest. I'm still trying to get the balance right myself.
Avatar n tn t sleep and always showing more and more the symptoms of ODD, ADHD and IED at school and at home. The doctor wanted to start a mood stabilizer but I don't want him on anything that will make him gain weight or turn into a zombie.
Avatar n tn My daughters symptoms went away quickly my son need a pretty high dose because his symptoms were more severe. The tricky part in this is the ADHD because the ADHD meds can make OCD symtoms worse! They are stimulants. Try only the seratonin med first. Sometimes ADHD can be solved with only this. You need a good Neuropsychologist here for the Tourettes/ADHD. They are the brain chemical experts. Not a Neurologist. Insist on an MRI w/ your Neurologist though!
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn If my Dr had me in ADHD med and my OCD was getting worse over time I would asking question as to why I was on ADHD med only.
Avatar n tn I take abilify and citalopram for the schizoaffective disorder and vyvanse for the adhd symptoms. I find that since i have been given adhd meds, my condition has stabilized completely. I was not well on the schizoaffective meds alone. i still had problems concentrating and with focus .As well as social problems and listening to others and paying attention.
Avatar n tn hi- As you may know, ADHD, sometimes will carry along with it other related type conditions like a OCD, aspergers, toretts. My son has tics with his ADHD and some types of meds can make symtoms worse. Our doctor asked us not to worry about it until his friends start noticing and commenting. Now is your time to discuss symptoms again with pediatrician. good luck.

Avatar m tn //www.webmd.com/add-adhd/guide/adhd-adults and see if any of these fit. I am not aware of SID sites for adults but specialmom could help with that.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn t get him treatment for the underlying issue whish is his immune response that makes him get worse symptoms. He still gets shor tempered on the risperdal and tenex and prozac. We have upped all the amounts except the risperdal is still at 2 mg a day. He was much better in the beginning. He takes 3 mg of tenex, 2 mg of risperdal and 10 mg of prozac. He still is impulsive and gets into arguments. It seems to be an ongoing problem to adjust his meds. We see the psychaitrist monthly.
327385 tn?1378360731 Sounds like your talking about my daughter, and she has ADHD. They started her off on Adderal XR, but she is now on Vyvance (sp). She did and does all the things you have listed, including the stealing and not knowing why. Your best bet is to try and find a peds doctor that specializes in ADD/ADHD. If she is found to have ADHD, so of the things she does might not go away, like the stealing.
Avatar m tn Wellbutrin kills my sex drive, thank God) On the Wellbutrin, I was still having ADHD symptoms like lack of focus and racing thoughts, but my life was much more structured and I felt a million times better. I don't think this is a hypomania, because I feel normal and less crappy. Personally, I think I have some form of atypical depression, with ADHD, or ADHD and some OCD tendencies (since I have a lot of obsessive thoughts). I started taking Vyvanse at 30mg 6 weeks ago.
Avatar f tn i was wondering if anyone here diagnosed with adult adhd could share with me a few things please in regards to focusing and staying focused whether it's reading or driving television any activity does medication help you stay focused? and does the ability to not be able to focus extend to everything regardless the level of interest you hold in it?
Avatar m tn I have taken every drug for ADHD and have settled on Aderall XR because it is the one that works the best with all of my symptoms. I have several other symptoms that have never been address and seem to be getting worse. I would sleep all day if it weren't for my alarm waking me up and the Aderall keeping me awake. I can not remember anything for more than a few seconds.
305005 tn?1358728290 if your above it or below it the medicine can make symptoms worse, but if your in it its amazing. one of the beautys of most meds for adhd (at least the amphetemines which makes up the bulk) is that you don't have to wait and see the affects for weeks at a time. for the most part you can tell exactly how the meds will act in the first day or two.
1998316 tn?1328972756 t know if the Klonopin is making these symptoms worse because my exroommate went on Klonopin and she was bright as a star and lost her memory of so many things that i didn't remember about myself. If adderall and ridellin give me energy does that mean i don't have it? I tried a few different ones, liked them because i have very low energy from CFS and allergies. I had energy, focused better, no confused thoughts or isolating. I know depression can also cause memory loss.
