REFERRING TO MY QUESTION PREVIOUSLY, THE ONLY ANSWER FOR THIS MOTHER SEEMS TO BE DRUGS FOR ADHD AND ADD BECAUSE THIS CHILD HAS NOT EVEN BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A CONDITION WHEN ITS CLEARLY OBVIOUS THAT SHE HAS ONE. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE IS A GENE TEST THAT WOULD CONFIRM IF THE CHILDS MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS ARE GENETICALLY TRANSFERRED.
Phenylpropanolamine Acutrim® Decongestant / allergies, sinusitis, asthma
Amphetamine Adderall® CNS stimulant / ADHD This includes dextroamphetamine and amphetamine / dextroamphetamine combinations.
my 11 yoa son has been tried concerta, vynase, addrall all of these caused face tics and worsen ADHD to the point of crying and shaking. he was put on stattera which seemed to be the wonder drug, but it peaks out early. while at school that leaves about 4 hours for problems. its as if hes taking nothing at all after first 5 hours. our doctor has added intuniv. can i get another proffesional opinion about the mixture or these two medications.
And where they giving drugs for the ADHD and ADD .Because I know there has to be many people out there that where treated for the wrong thing.And that when some one has Seizures it can look like they have ADD AND ADHD and even Bipolar.
And the side effects to the drugs they use for ADD and ADHD along with Bipolar can cause Seizures ,since these drugs go straight to the brain and are like speed to young Children.
Your an addict you can get clean but as in better so I can use drugs again that would be never.
What pain meds are you on and what are you taking adhd meds are you on do you abuse them ?
hey, um I cant say I do cos methamphetamine is an illicit drug, so it would be strange for it to of been prescribed.
Hi, My 13yr old son has mod-severe ADHD + OCD + Tourettes. In 2006 he showed a normal EKG. He has been taking Concerta ( 126 mg ), Abilify ( 6mg ), Prozac ( 40mg), Intuniv ( 4mg ), & clonidine at bedtime (.15mg). Since the last EKG he has tried diff SSRI's & SNRI's with some pos results. He is coming off the Abilify to try Haldol. His tics are very bad & last from 3pm after school until bedtime. We tried Risperdal yrs ago, but he wet the bed.
This has been widespread news for a long time ..it is certainly true in my opinion, the drugs prescribed to children for and ADHD is another one ..
Unfortunately it is the psychologists who are quickest to prescribe drugs for ADD. These drugs are very dangerous and the long-term effect is not fully known. I had a very lively daughter who could not sit still in class. I resisted intervention. There was nothing wrong with her. You have to look at the whole child, not just the child in a school setting. As it happened my daughter hated school. She found it boring and looked for ways to liven it up.
The issue is that no company would risk the liability of enrolling children into the studies the FDA requires to prove the drugs safety. The class of drugs is fairly safe (especially so in adults) and work very well. But I don't know for sure what happens with kids. I would hope that your doctor has much experienc prescribing seratonin reuptake inhibitors in his pediatric practice and is this a psychiatrist (I'd be much more comfortable if it were).
It seems these days that almost every Child has ADD or ADHD and that the Doctors hand out drugs as if they are Candy. With out looking at everything in the person life. And with out looking at blood levels and testing for other things.
These drugs have very bad side effects and have even been know to kill people ,or cause a stroke or Seizures and can damage other parts of the body. These drugs are a lot like speed witch we all know is well know on the street.
My husband is controlling really bad and it's getting worse, acts crazy sometimes, talks about death a lot, shuts down and won't talk, at times he can be so sweet and nice, but then change so fast, he currently is unemployed and can't find a job. Is it the medication he is on or could it be a mental disorder? He told me once his dad acted crazy a lot, but he didn't know his dad because he went away alot.
first let me ask what is your diagnois? i am taking 2 types of meds for adhd and depression (these are needed) but i am trying to find an alternative meds (homepathic root)or something more natural. not easy to do. but 8 kinds wow!! always be aware and research your meds before the dr puts you on something. drs are happy go lucky with meds when all you can do is either take them or research them.
I am also diagnosed with both ADHD and BP. I have been on Abilify which did nothing for my ADHD and only moderately affected my BP. Abilify isn't prescribed for ADHD. It's whole purpose (as far as I am aware) is to treat BP. I had a very rare side effect of blurred vision as well with it which is why I eventually went off of it.
