Avatar f tn They started and currently have him taking Zoloft 25mg and Metadate 10mg, they are not working. When he takes the two together whether at the same time or at separate hours he is worse off then when we started. It seems like they counter act each other. If I give him just the Zoloft, then he is fine, his anxiety is down and less violent, but climbs the walls and has to be given a benadryl to calm him down.

Avatar n tn any nyperactivity, inattention or impulsivity. Such medications will not have an influence in the other areas of his functioning. Any of these medications should be employed only if a careful diagnosis of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder has been reached.
Avatar n tn He does ok on Metadate CD but he seems a little zombie like with no emotion and not very social when on Metadate. I believe that it is why the doctor suggested a different med. Thank you for your comment.
Avatar n tn My son was diagnosed with the same when he was 4 and was on Metadate, clonidine and imprimine. It seemed to help some what but then all of a sudden he would have these fits and then be in tears in a matter of minutes. He is now 13 and last year they stated he was not ADHD but bipolar. He is on different medications for bipolar now and seems to be doing better still having problems in school but he seems to be getting better.
Avatar m tn Doctors often feel that if they are prescribing them to you and you test negative you are selling your medication and not taking them and it puts them in jeopardy.
383943 tn?1217722721 Did she get evaluated by a psycholigist or developmental doctor that specializes in ADHD? If she has ADHD, the first medication that you should try is Metadate CD or Ritalin. Start with a very small dosage such as 2.5mg or 5mg. If it does not work because it is not enough, keep on increasing the amount very slowly until you see that she is doing well. I am not familiar with celexa. If it is a stimulant like Ritalin, the dosage sounds too high.
Avatar f tn You might also try to reduce the dosage by opening the capsule, taking some of it out and closing the capsule again before you give it to him. It is a small dosage, but it might be too much for him.
Avatar n tn Talk to her docotor about trying another med such as Stratera (non-stimulant) or Metadate CD another type of stimulant. I have a friend with a boy who takes Metadate CD. They tried Concerta and it did not work for the school at all. He was very restless and hyper. At home he was fine at the end of the day. So, the way this boy's body metabolized the med was different and the benefit of the med was late in the afternoon. Metadate CD works better for this boy during school hours.
Avatar f tn Okay, so I know this is a gross question...but it something that I really want/need to know the answer to. I seem to be passing totally undigested Venlafaxine XR (Effexor XR) pills. I managed to inspect one of the pills afterward (disgusting, I know) and the outside was tough but it was still full of a white, powdery substance. Does this mean that I'm not digesting the medication at all? What should I do?
Avatar n tn Adderall is not the only medication. You might you doctor to try a different medicine such as Ritalin or Metadate CD. These are still stimulants, but in another family of stimulants. Good luck.
Avatar n tn d like to know EXACTLY how my 4-year-old boy with a heart of gold was put on the generic of this drug without SOME form of diagnostic process. The drug he is on is Metadate. (As a side-note, I asked her if she even knew what the name of the drug was. She didn't.) I suppose the legitimate question, here, is this... WHAT, EXACTLY, ARE THE GUIDELINES FOR PUTTING A 4-YEAR-OLD ON METADATE?
Avatar f tn my 7 yr old has been on the metadate CD for 2 yrs now and I am pleased with it. It is a very good medicine. She had tried the adderall, but it didnt work for her. so she was put back on the metadate.
Avatar n tn s not so much an issue of how long he has been on medication, but rather an issue of finding the best medication for him (i.e., the medication that proves to be clinically effective without untoward side effects). Stimulant medications (e.g., Concerta, Ritalin, Adderall, Metadate, etc.) all have the potential to suppress appetite. This in itself is not always a problem. It becomes a problem if it leads to persistent weight loss.
Avatar n tn I believe that you can, but I am not an expert. I know that you can cut the pills for Ritalin and Metadate but not Concerta. You might ask the pharmacy for the literature that comes with the medicine. Sometimes it states in the paperwork if you can cut the pill. Depending on your pharmacist, he wil tell you if it is fine for you to split the pills. Also, your son should not show withdrawl. Even if your son shows withdrawl problems, these should be temporary and they are better than tics.
Avatar f tn ) Whenever possible get a capsule form. Then you can just open the capsule and dump the contents in your mouth. If there is no capsule form, get a liquid, if one is available (Benadryl, for instance).
Avatar n tn I have a friend who's son (no, really) was taking Vyvanse. He experienced severe dry mouth, hand-wringing, decrease affect, and a very short fuse. Hope you get this resolved; I'm sure you feel miserable. I believe that my friend's son began taking Metadate with more success. Still not sure of any contraindications with Xanax, though.
Avatar m tn 1. what is the 'capsule' referred to in cataract posts. Is it the recess into which the implant is inserted? 2. post-op blurring can be either in the capsule or in the implant, I read. YAG laser clears both? 3. How is it that a plastic implant can get a cloudy spot?
Avatar f tn Talk to his doctor about decreasing it or changing to another medicine such as Metadate CD.
Avatar f tn noticed that the capsule was only 1/2 filled w/ medication. I got her RX filled at Walmart this time instead of Walgreens because her Dad changed jobs & his insurance hasn't gone into effect yet. At first I examined the capsules to see if they had been tampered with. I don't have a clue because I don't know what I'm looking for. There seems to be a dimple in the green/bluish capsule side at the curved end.
1763947 tn?1334055319 So, before you take a capsule of medication, you put that capsule and its contents into a larger capsule -- so it's double-covered?
Avatar n tn Hi, My 8 yr old son also takes Adderall XR, but only 15 mg. (for the past 2 yrs.) He was really skinny for a while back in first grade but my husband is tall & thin so we figured that was OK. My dr. said to give our son a milkshake at bedtime every night, and I can add protein if he seems to need it. As he has grown it affects him less than it did at first; he never has trouble sleeping and he has a good appetite at breakfast.
Avatar f tn I suggest that the medicine is not the right medicine or it is not enough. I assume that he is taking Metadate CD (8 hour slow release) or something similar such Ritalin? If so, you need to ask the doctor that prescribed the med if you can increase it. You should increase by 5mg at a time until you see that it is enough and it is working. For example, after you talk to the doctor, you would increase the dosage by 5mg (you might have to divide the capsule) for about 4 or 5 days.
Avatar f tn I have a 5 year old daughter who has recently been "kicked out" of pre-school for aggression. My husband & I have taken her to therapy and we are now trying medication (Concerta 36mg). Nothing seems to be working and the aggression is worsening. I love my baby girl and it is breaking my heart to see her so unhappy all the time. We are doing everything that is recommended in therapy (behavior charts, ect) and still no progress.
Avatar n tn Last July 1, I started taking a fat loss capsule. In my 4th day, I noticed that my penis wasnt able to erect already so I decided to stop it. Now, still not went back to normal. I tried to watch porn movie but nothing happened. What am I going to do to gain back my normal erection? Please help me.
Avatar f tn I was placed on 112mcg of Synthroid at the time. I have been getting the generic brand of this medication for the last year. I broke out in a severe rash on my chest about 3 months ago. My regular doctor sent me to a dermatologist for the rash. They did a biopsy and have determined that I am allergic to my thyroid medication. What other options do I have if I cant take that medication? are there other forms that I can take?
Avatar f tn Hello and hope you are doing well. On administration, the capsule results in detectable plasma levels within 2 hours and peak plasma levels between 10 and 14 hours. Half life is 5-8 hrs. So, it should take about 2-3days for complete elimination and the recovery of peripheral vasodilatation. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
317217 tn?1456286778 I have a cold, its doing my head in, but after taking a lemsip type drink and a cold capsule, i realised it said not to take if your pregnant. Will it harm the bump? Does any one know? Im just so worried coz i lost my last bump to a m/c in oct so i guess im worrying over nothing.
Avatar n tn I am also taking high blood pressure medication. Over the past six months my medication has been changed four times as I've had a host of side effects from each medication. Unfortunately, each side effect would occur in conjunction with some other change in my health/lifestyle so it was hard to detect or pinpoint what the cause of my problem was. This recent condition is no exception. My ankles began to swell on a regular basis and has been attributed to the medication.
