565294 tn?1216433315 Hi, my son is 10 and he was on every single kind of medication out there for ADHD and responded to none so I took him off and he is getting an assessment done (As I have Bipolar disorder). He was worse on the pills than off....mood wise. But he lost a ton of weight....he was always being called chubby before he started concerta and adderall....now everyone is worried he is too thin.....so yes it does suppress the appetite.
Avatar f tn Neurofeedback is proven to help with insomnia, anxiety, depression, ADD, ADHD and more. Many times children who have been abused act out and the abuse isn't discovered until years later. Seeing a good child psychologist would get him/her help sooner and avoid many more years of pain. An interesting fact is that 50% of adults with Bipolar experienced child abuse. What kind of message does a child get when they are given a pill to mask symptoms of child sexual abuse?
Avatar f tn I bet they say it was linked because all pregnant women will most likely take Tylenol, and kids who have ADHD were in mommy's tummy at one time. It is phoney, ignore it!
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, I was wondering is it okay to take ADHD medication while pregnant? I know I should ask a doctor but I wanted to check online first..
Avatar n tn I read biographies about people who have been super successful at their chosen field and it seems like it all boils down to talent of course and then extreme focus and concetration to work at your chosen field everyday! I also believe anxiety associatyed with adhd afects our social relationships so I am willing to do whatever it takes.

Avatar f tn There is something that runs in the women of my family. I only know as far back as my great great grandmother, who had red hair and short stature(about 5'2). My grandmother is just slightly taller, with red hair and a very gradual weight gain. My mother is 5'3, red hair, she has started to gain weight and she has a hypothyroid problem. Like my mom who suffered from cold hands and feet all her life I also suffer from it, which is a symptom of hypothyroid.

Some good personal information here. http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/910.html Finally, don't worry about drifting off while people are talking. Its what people with ADHD do. If these are friends, they will understand and just redirect you back.
Avatar f tn Actually there are a number of laws that prevent discrimination these days. The fact that you know you have ADHD is really important. Hopefully, you have gotten guidance on dealing with this medical problem. There are a lot of very successful people with ADHD, so it can be done. You might enjoy reading a book by a UC Berkley honors student with severe ADHD about growing up with ADHD.

Avatar f tn Well me and my family have always suspected my son of having adhd even though hes only 4 for awhile I told my family they where crazy that he wasnt adhd he was just being a typical child/toddler at the time until I had a women come and ask me if he had it cause my son acts alot like hers did at his age ao I took my son in to the doctor and theydid some test and want to wait twtell his 5th bday to do further test but my doctor said it seems as if he does in fact have it.
Avatar m tn 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!

Avatar f tn I did theyre saying theres a link between pregnant women taking Tylenol and kids with adhd. Theres not too much research but ive opted against taking tylenol just in case.
8987249 tn?1404774097 Do you guys take Tylenol on occasion for headaches, etc? I do once in a while when a bad headache strikes (maybe once every 2-3 weeks), but now I'm reading of links to ADHD. My doctor says it's fine to take though. What has your doctor said? Do you feel comfortable taking it?
Avatar f tn While they are getting better at spotting it, finding ADD in women is hard especially since we rarely have ADHD (with that hyperactivity part) so it is more subtle. I guess I am lucky to have a good psyc that I have been working with for about 10 years so we have that level of trust and partnership... When I told my mom, boss and some close friends, EVERY SINGLE ONE said "and that surprises you how?!?!?!
Avatar n tn they may be dif meds but they are both used for adhd an my dr told me I can't take anything for my adhd till after
Avatar f tn There is a new natural remedy used called L-theanine and you can read about it on the 700 club website at www.cbn.com/700club. In the search area type ADD/ADHD L-theanine or just type ADHD. This will show different remedies in the treatment of this disease. It also has an article on fish oil, as well. Which is another natural remedy used for ADD/ADHD. Also, you can get the book "The ADD Answer" or "The IQ Answer (maximizing your child's potential)" by Dr.
Avatar f tn I also get severe bloating 10 days before my period I get very depressed and anxious and my adhd unfortunately worsens and isn’t controlled by my adhd meds. My adhd meds usually work the week after my period but then they don’t work when I ovulate and really have no effect after that. I also have hashimotos (not taking thyroid meds since my doctor said it hasn’t effected my thryoid levels) and I had surgery for endometriosis recently.

Avatar n tn I have a 4 1/2 year old son that was 8 months ago diagnosed with ADHD. I somewhat disagree with the diagnosis, but that is beyond this. He was put on Ritalin and his behaviors and attention were a bit better, nothing spectacular. Three months ago they increased his dosage, and a couple weeks ago he began to have very violent tendencies towards his mother.
6658929 tn?1395711522 Well, then don't take it. I'm just telling you what theDR would say is safe.
Avatar n tn ve looked at several medication blog sites and have seen numerous posts of women reporting hair loss from anti-depressants including Wellbutrin so I was really questioning the validity of the "less than 1%" finding from the Wellbutrin trials.
Avatar f tn t take tylenol while pregnant can cause adhd I never take amy medicine while pregnant just cuz u never really know the side effects to ur baby but u can try drinking more water headaches are usually a sign ur not drinking enough water if its to bad tho then I'm for sure one tylenol won't hurt
Avatar f tn OK so I am 18 weeks pregnant. I already have one child and he is 4 years old. The biological dad has never been in his life because he's an *** And left us when I found out I was pregnant. Well I am with a new man and I'm pregnant with his baby he's great he treats me good and is real nice.
