What are the excuses of drug users?
I have a daughter who has been on prescribed pain meds since a botched hysterectomy. She is very irritable or active, or then she satys in bed and is very passive. Then when we talk to her about her meds, she just says she has a high tolerance to them. What can we do to help?
Im worried that my daughter wants to go back on Concerta to lose weight can this affect her We actually stopped her taking it as she was a different person and she lost far to much weight while onit?
More information needs to be given to answer this question effectively. If your daughter is significantly overweight, the lost weight would likely be beneficial for her. However, if your daughter is not overweight, and she is also not eating properly while taking this, it could lead to adverse health effects.
Is it safe for your daughter to take Concerta 18mg and Risperdal together if she has ADHD and autistic disorder?
Yes it is safe. My younger brother has ADHD and Asperger's Sydrome and he takes Concerta and Risperdal every morning. I would still recommend asking your doctor if it is safe for HER to use, as medications have different effects on different people. I know this sounds like a Scientologist. But my neighbor's mom told his psychitrist to prescribe him something because she thought he had a problem. He just wrote a ticket for Resperidal without and hesitation. I am glad he didn't take it, it is schizophrenic medication. I am sure what ever your daughter has is much, much better than any single side effect from Risperdal. Please don't let her take it, you will lose your daughter.
What if your daughter took Concerta at night accidentally?
She'll be doing homework for the next 8 hours. Modification to original answer about homework for 8 hours: Actually, that depends on many factors. If it was her Concerta, and she normally took it in the morning (which is the most common, from what I have been told), at the same or a higher dose than she accidentally took at night, it might realistically have no effect. If it was her Concerta, she presumably has ADD or ADHD. If so, while Concerta might act as a "speed" for others, it would normally have the opposite effect on her - and that is exactly why she has it. So if it was somebody else's Concerta, and she does not have ADD or ADHD, she should expect to be "wired" for a time, depending on dosage and how tired she is. "Wired" might include jumpy, unable to concentrate, unable to sit still, unable to sleep, unable to think or talk about a single topic for even a moderate amount of time. Think the stereotypical over-caffeinated-but-tired employee that comedians make jokes about. Lots of words, really fast, but not much useful communication or work. An irony of ADHD is that Concerta, when it works, makes ADHD patients more "normal", and yet it makes "normal" people much more ADHD-like. Something about brain chemistry that is way above my education. I am no MD or pharmacist, but I have been reading about Concerta and have read what appear to be relatively reliable sites saying that Concerta can actually help adults with ADD and ADHD to sleep better. I have ADHD and found Concerta completely ineffective for any purpose at the dosages prescribed. No effects, no side effects. For my mid-teens kid, it has worked as advertised, in the mid-range of recommended dosages, and has been a significant aid to functionality, especially in the classroom but also in other environments requiring concentration and extended listening. Still a teenager, though. Just one that, when motivated, can sit still and listen much more easily than before the prescription. (That motivation seems limited to locations outside the home, except when she is watching a good movie - a teenager). I am on a combination of other meds, one of which is generally considered more of a "speed" than Concerta. Together, my meds have substantially and unexpectedly increased my average hours of sleeping per night from 4 or 5 to over 7. And taking the amphetamine later in the day (I have not yet tried it "at night" - after 6 or 7 pm) has not changed this new pattern - it takes effort for me to stay up past 11, even though, before I went on the meds, I could, with any motivation, stay up past 2 or 3, and with real motivation, even until 5 or 6, and then restart at 8. So the meds, including the amphetamine, have increased my sleep. So your daughter might be fine, or she might be in for a horrible night.
Is it safe to give your daughter hydrocodone while she takes Concerta?
It is NOT safe to give ANY person a medication that is NOT prescribed for that person. It is also unwise and neglectful to give a minor child any medication, especially a narcotic (!), without a doctor's order. It is unlawful to give any person of any age narcotics prescribed for you, and you can be arrested for doing it.
Would Concerta or focalin cause less anxiety and mood swings than adderall?
hi, i think conerta gives u less mood swings then adderall xr. atleast that was case with my daughter. she was very moody and crying all of time on adderall xr. changed her to concerta, she totally different. different med's work differntly on people. you just have to try them with the doctor's help Addition to Answer - The original answer is spot-on. Sadly, treating ADHD in both kids and adults requires trial and error to find which of the 8 or so meds, solo or in combination, that are commonly used work best for each patient.
