Avatar f tn If there was any long term effects, it would easily have been noticed by now. What has been noticed by the way, is what happens if you do have ADHD and don't get proper treatment (meds and behavioral modification techniques). You self medicate, and tend to have much more depression and anxiety then the person who got treatment.

Avatar n tn Yes that class of medications has the potential to cause tardive dyskinesia which is a long term movement disorder. One way it can express it itself is tardive tourettism which is clinically similar to Tourrette's in the way it presents itself but not in cause. These concerns can persist after the medication is no longer being used as well.

Avatar f tn BUT, I have to take it or I am in pain. So try not to worry so much about the long term effects when you are trying to survive today. If you are worried about this I would talk to my doctor and let them know what you are experiencing and there may be something they can do differently. Just dont stop any seizure med without a doctors help. Hope you feel better..
Avatar n tn Is what she is doing harming the development of my boys in any way? I am very concerned. I am worried that her actions may have long term affects on our boys. My last question ties into the other two. The oldest is struggling in school. He is in fourth grade, has already failed one grade, and has been in danger every other year. She is trying to say it is his A.D.H.D. but I am unsure. He almost seems as if he does not want to do it, or like he is bored from it.
