metadate cd half life

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.

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.

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.

I assume that you tried Ritalin (slow release), Anderall and Metadate CD. These medicines are slow release stimulants and help more with the focus issues of ADD. Usually, the doctor gives Stratera only after trying stimulants and assuming that these do not work. Why Prozac at such a young age? Why mix medicines? If you find an ADHD medicine that works, the ODD might also be eliminated. Keep it simple with only one medicine if you can.

Talk to his doctor about decreasing it or changing to another medicine such as Metadate CD.

I hlave a question, does metadate cd show up on drug screenss and if so what could cause a false negative.? I gave my son his metadate at 6:30am, and at 11am they said he tested negative for it.

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.

If it is metadate CD it is an Extended release capsules (Metadate CD). If it is metadate ER it is a Sustained release tablets. I really doubt if he is on the immediate release tablet as that would be a huge dose at his age. Your doctor should have made you aware of what he is on - as this is confusing stuff. If he is having trouble sleeping at night I would try cutting back the dosage - as even in the CD or ER form, it is a fairly high dose for a 6 year old.

if she has a diagnosis, the first line of meds that these specialists usually try is a stimulant such as Ritalin or Metadate CD. Get another doctor (specialist) and get her formally eveluated. If she does ADHD, ask for a stimulant such as long acting Ritalin. You also need to make sure that she has a cleas diet with no sugar, no artificial sweetner, no artificial color, no preservatives and cooked from fressh ingredients. Make sure that she gets lots and lots of sleep.

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.

The half-life of a drug is how long it takes for half of it to be eliminated from the bloodstream. Hope that helps.

It has a very long half life, though I can't give you specifics. The dose and how long you were on it does factor in. Your doctor should be able to help you with your questions on this.

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.

Many kids do not sleep well when on these type of long lasting meds. You might be better off with a shorter acting medicine such as Metadate CD (8 hours only) or Ritalin and maybe a lower dosage. At 5 years old, it is very hard to get the right medicine and doasage to work. Make sure that you have a good doctor and you are communicating with him/her. Be patient and give your child lots of positive rewards (verbal and otherwise).

The first medicines that he should try are medicines such as Ritalin or Metadate CD. These medicines are called stimulants and usually work better to control ADHD than Tenex. Go back to an ADHD expert doctor and try a different med, if there are no other medical reasons with your son.

Vyvanse is in the same family of ADHD drugs such as Anderall. Maybe you can try the Ritalin family, including Metadate CD. By the way stimulant drugs, such as Vyvanse, Ritalin and Metadate, seem to make the PDD / Autism and Anxiety symptoms worse in some children. If the Ritalin / Metadate does not work you could try Stratera, a non-stimulant type medicine. Good luck.

Most doctors usually start with Ritalin or Metadate CD. These medicines have a higher probability of working. Go to your doctor and ask for Metadate CD (it is smoother than Ritalin in its distribution). (2) Make sure that you have the right doctor. If the mom tells the doctor that the medicine is not working, the doctor needs to listen. (3) Kids with ADD and ADHD do not do well with changes in the routine. I am not sure why your daughter is staying at grandparents twice per week.

decided to quit taking it on a monday felt fine all week untill sun when i went into serious withdrawl! so as far as half life im not sure? but you can bet i was back on it mon! so i guess it was in my system for 6 days after i stopped. p.s.

?? Does anyone know the Half life of SUBOXONE - Beprenorphine.? I HEARD it was 70 hours, but that's what I heard....unsure if that is even accurate?

whats the half life for syntriod. about how much time does it take to build up in you and also leave your system?

You need to ask your specialist to try a different medicine and see if her mood improves. You could try Metadate CD or the Vysante and see how she does. Always try a low dosage for a few days and increase slowly.

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.

I have a 9 year old child who takes Metadate CD (30 mg per day) for ADHD. One of the side effects that my child shows is that she bites and pulls her nails. Yesterday, I noticed that you suggested Strattera to another mom for tics. Our doctor told us also to change to Strattera.

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.
