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 Will he continue to drop weight if he stays on this medication? How long is too long to stay on the medication? Can he be in it for long term? When he skipps his medication he's back to his old ways...he's hyper, anger, upset, etc so I fear the thought of taking it away but also am concern if taking it for too long could harm him? please help.....
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 t last long enough - dose is low. If it lasts too long - dose is high. Concerta should last for about 8 hours. Was he having his speech problems all day long or only more so in the afternoon? What made you decide to lower his dose? I had assumed that these problem happened before you lowered the dose?

Avatar n tn i dont know if these are possible long term effects of the drugs or something else. everyone keeps saying im having anxiety attacks but these feelings come when i am calm and seem very serious. if anyone has any advice on whats going on ,whether drug related or not,, or any advice on good doctors to go to PLEASE let me know immediatly.
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 m tn I have no symptoms and feel great; I am 54 and wondering if HEP C would kill me or if the treatment could cause long term effects that could ruin my health. The longest living male in my family was my father 86 and had slow progressive dementia the last 10 years.
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.
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 Concerta has the potential to cause tic like spasms that in some cases can be long term. It would be worthwhile to see if they could refer you to a movement disorders specialst to rule out this concern. You can find out more on the medication website or PDR (Physician's Desk Reference).
Avatar f tn We have not put him on medication because we are fearful of the long term effects of the Adderal. But we have not completely dismissed the Idea of using medication. One of my main concerns is our home life, my SS has recently shared with his mother that we are way too hard on him and not hard enough on our 22m Son. My SS also plays really rough with DS and does not seem to realize the age difference. Every time they play together SS is always complaining or tattling on DS.

Avatar m tn It is a central nervous system stimulant and is released through out the day. Sounds like the effects of the Concerta wearing off towards the end of the day? Have you talked to her Dr about how she is responding at home? I will give you a link that I use often for drugs on ADHD and Cancer. It's very user friendly and they keep it very simple to get around. This is the specific page for Concerta's side effects. http://www.pharmacydrugguide.
Avatar m tn dont be too scared as said above few people experience sides but one thing is for sure long term use for decades is not healthy and only cirrhosis or severe damaged liver can justify such use so i'd definitely combo with other therapies so that nucs can be used short term from latest easl conference we have now tests for sustained immune control of hbv cccdna equal or less than 5 copies/cell we now need an hbsag level equal to 5copies/cell, mybe hbsag 500iu/ml
