Avatar m tn Hey, I've just been diagnosed with ADHD and I'll be taking Atomoxetine. It's the non - stimulant type, I was thinking the stimulant form of medication would suit me better with such as an Amphetamine based one. I was a user on speed awhile ago and when I was on I felt established, in control, I could concentrate and express my inteligence.
Avatar m tn Classified as a norepinephrine (noradrenaline) reuptake inhibitor, atomoxetine is approved for use in children, adolescents, and adults. However, its efficacy has not been studied in children under six years old. Its advantage over stimulants for the treatment of ADHD is that it has less abuse potential than stimulants,[2][3] is not scheduled as a controlled substance and has proven in clinical trials to offer 24-hour coverage of symptoms associated with ADHD in adults and children.

Avatar f tn 0) after being on a dug trail for Atomoxetine, (last year, at age 45 yrs) by an A.D.H.D. specalist team in Northampton England. Aparently many medical teams around the world dont belive a.d.h.d goes into adulthood, belive me it does! I have it extreamly badly, and after a disastor with Rittaline im now on Strattera (atomoxetine, which is not yet licenced in u.k.) is there any other adults out there that have been, like me, misdiagnosed for years because . .. when I was a child a.d.h.
Avatar m tn Opps, I was wrong. concerta is a stim drug. Here is better info: classes of medication are available for treating ADHD: * Stimulant medications, such as dextroamphetamine-based drugs (Adderall, Vyvanese) and methylphenidate-based drugs (Concerta, Daytrana, Ritalin). They are also available as generics. * Nonstimulant medication, such as the antidepressant bupropion (Wellbutrin and generic) or atomoxetine (Strattera), which is not available as a generic.
Avatar n tn The most common side effects I've heard or seen in others is an increase in water retention, and feelings of dehydration. Creatine draws water from the body into the muscles and can make them appear slightly bloated. This will diminish once you've stopped taking the supplement, as will some of the weight you've gained. I recommend adopting a better diet for optimal muscle growth. There are plenty of meal plans made for bodybuilders on the net.
Avatar m tn Hi guys, I hope someone is able to help me with this… I am currently taking Atomoxetine – a medication used to treat ADHD in adults. I take 40mg once daily in the morning and it really helps me to concentrate better and function the way I need to etc… One of the main issues I have is the effect it has on my penis and testicles.
Avatar n tn There are other techniques for treating this, and also other medications, and other doses..( she may have been on too much for her sensitivity). You should consult with a neuropsychologist for retraining options and testing to determine what type of retraining is indicated. You can also explore newer medications at the lowest possible dose.
20003388 tn?1515166040 Every time I try a medication that has a reuptake effect on norepeneprhine I get this mild burning sensation on the left side of my chest. So far I have had this happen with Atomoxetine, Venlafaxine, Bupropion and now Nortrypytiline. It isn't anxiety, a panic attack or heartburn, just a dull, moderately uncomfortable, burning sensation. I'm fine with all the SSRI's and medications like Rexulti. It's just the ones that affect NE.
Avatar m tn Throughout my life I have been taking a medication called Atomoxetine for the treatment of ADHD. One of the side effects of this medication was that it would always cause my penis and scrotum to retract as if they were extremely cold all the time throughout the day - causing me to have to take hot or warm baths to temporarily solve this.

Avatar f tn Thank you hun for your comment,im going to try and avoid taking them for aslong as i can. I have my prescription so if i really need them,ill get them from the chemist.
Avatar f tn I thought it was best to go on a anxiety meds. I used Effexor and was on it for 10 years. it is for generalized anxiety disorder. I worked really well for me. I used the Xanax when I feel extremely panicky. go for counseling, talk and vent as much as possible in a safe environment, go to alanon, exercise, eat healthy, make sure you get plenty of rest.
1933354 tn?1323362834 t be the beta blocker, and that I should stick out my 30 day regiment. Has anyone experienced this medication for anxiety before? I am debating if I should get off this or not. I like how it keeps my heart pounding/racing down, but now I am worried the effects from the drug could be worse.
Avatar f tn I have taken anxiety medication prior to becoming pregnant but then stopped.. about 2months after stopping the medication I found out I was expecting. Im currently 15 weeks, I find some days are harder then others. I try to stay positive and keep my mind occupied. The first 8 weeks of my pregnancy was extremely tough. I find my anxiety is effecting my blood pressure when I first get to my OB office, I try to relax and breathe threw it.
6579347 tn?1388502368 Hi, again - has anyone tried acupuncture as a tool in their kit for managing anxiety? I know to be careful what you read on the internet, but I came across an interesting scientific study that sparked me thinking about it. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who have tried it. I have a friend who does it for pain management and has enjoyed a great deal of relief, but I don't know anyone who has tried it for anything else, particularly anxiety or depression.
Avatar f tn Hi All, As mentioned in an earlier post I had tried meditation for years which helped with anxiety. But I have stopped it for almost 4 years and I want to get back into it. I got hold of the 8 minutes meditation book which I think is excellent. My problem is that I will do it for a few days and stop , it is only 8 minutes and I don't understand why I cannot do. I almost don't want to spend the time as I don't think it would help and I am fed up of trying.
Avatar f tn For those of you who have had or are in talk therapy for your anxiety - what are your sessions like? I'm so confused now because I feel like mine is going no where now. I think he helped me in the beginning but now it's going no where. I've only been going for about 3 or 4 months. He wants me to just go home and think about why I think the way I think and then come up with an answer. I keep telling him, "I DON"T KNOW." Then he changes the subject.
4502768 tn?1538777982 Wellbutrin may occasionally be used to treat anxiety. There are few studies on its use for anxiety, but some have found it to have comparable effectiveness to other antidepressants used for this purpose. Wellbutrin is indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder and seasonal affective disorder, but it may be prescribed for other indications. I would recommend to follow up with your doctor if you find your anxiety persists or worsens.
Avatar m tn From my research on this herb it can cause anxiety as much as help mitigate it -- depends on the person. Personally, don't care if natural plants are legal or illegal, never believed you can make something nature grows illegal, it's not like a drug manufactured by humans that nobody has experience with and the body has no idea how to digest, but again, my research on this plant shows it's probably a risk for anxiety sufferers.
Avatar n tn I beleive my 6 year old son has social anxiety and selective mutism in certain situations. He is overall doing fine but it seems to be affecting him at school and I'm concerned about the uncoming school year. I'm waiting for an appointment for him with a professional but wanted to know your opinion about the use of Prozac for this problem.
