1031310 tn?1259857386 Basically what Sandman2 said... Your son was on concerta for TWO YEARS without ANY negative symptoms. In fact, it was helping in him school... you alluded to this when you said that taking him off of the concerta meant he started doing poorly in school, probably because he is suffering the symptoms of his ADD again without his medication. BUT! He goes to a NEW church and immediately after starts talking about bestiality and "evil voices"!!!
Avatar m tn Hey Chris, I just wanted to add that while some of the symptoms you described could be coming from the Concerta (it never hurts to google concerta and check out the symptoms), several are also ADHD symptoms - particularly the, ",mood swings,thoughts of suicide,couldnt fall asleep, depression,and anger." So I would make very sure that you are aware of what ADHD can do to you. It is your disease, and the best way to conquer it is with information about it.

Avatar f tn My dad is snorting my sisters concerta. We've caught him once a couple of years ago and he said he stopped. he's only giving my sister half a pill (54 miligrams) now. He's doing it constantly and drinking like theres no tomorrow. His belly is VERY hard and round. I know thats a stage of liver problems. Serious liver problems. What could it do to him? and my sister only getting half of her pill?
Avatar f tn ritalin, restpordol(sp???), Concerta, and clonodine (help him sleep) but they work for just a while. He can be perfectly fine one minute and extremely mad over something so small the next.... not to mention that he runs full charge all day. Anyway, he has been getting a lot more aggressive here lately for no apparent reason. I mean nothing has changed in our home. His grandmother watches him in the afternoon while I work and then he is with me the rest of the day.
454366 tn?1211245301 The 2 things I know about Lithium are cons. It causes thyroid and liver damage. Sorry, I don't know any pros for it. There are a lot of other mood stabilizers out there to try if you don't like that one.

Avatar m tn The recommended dose of paracetamol for a single adult is two standard 500 mg tablets. Researches have reported that the threshold for liver damage to start from a single paracetamol overdose is 15 gms (30 tablets). However liver damage could start to occur at a single overdose of 24 standard tablets or 150 mg/kg body weight, (whichever is the smaller).

Avatar n tn I have been taking Darvocet for about two years now. I began just taking one a week at night after a bad day and it has progressed to 1-3 daily for about 6 months now. I went to the Dr. for a checkup yesterday and the ALT liver function test was high. The other liver tests were normal just that one was high. The Dr. thinks it is from my acid reflux medication and is changing that but I rarely take it. Could it be the Darvocet?

Avatar f tn Can anyone tell me what it's called when you have liver damage from medications
Avatar f tn The only way to truly ease your mind is by being totally honest with him/her. I have liver damage and kidney damage due to drugs stage 2 liver stage 3 kidney.. if your liver were damaged and you had a flare your belly would be extended/pain upper right you would be lethargic/vomiting.. other symptoms but these being severe.. It is not fun and I would not wish it on anyone.. I contracted hep C from slamming and further continued the damage through pills/alcohol..

Avatar f tn Hard to say but if he stops attacking the liver with alcohol, no further damage should be done and some of those numbers should go down at least a little.

They drained off 12 liters of fluid from stomach area. He's has dementia, no communicating with him that makes any sense. In this situation what is his chance to make it through this? The doctors and nurses are not saying much, but wait and see.
