I have gained 45lbs in last year on meds I'm going crazy .....
I would try to use antihistamine products instead of those containingdecongestants, which could increase the stimulant effect of the ADHD meds .
yes, it can trigger bipolar symptoms, as can anti-depressants and other ADHD meds. - especially if u are not on a mood stabilizer
Do not forget- Laziness is not ADHD Boring topics are also a factor in this matter. Should a child have a high IQ, maybe the topic is being dragged along too long and should change, because the child already gets what you are trying to tell it. Otherwise, there is no definite amount. If you think he has ADHD or ADD, get him some meds. Since that is the reason why you are asking this. Remember: Children taking meds for ADD or ADHD typically end up having a form of depression. Go ahead, and buy the meds, though. Glad I could help :)
"Adderall is an amphetamine used to treat ADD/ADHD. Like many pharmaceutical medications, some of the side effects include loss of appetite and weight loss(particularly in adolescents)."Ritalin and Dexedrine also have similar effects concerning weight loss. They are all prescription meds.
with strattera you should not take any adhd meds or abuse any medications because then it definitely will not work
psychologist/counselor if you want behavior modification treatment, psychiatrist if you want treatment with medication, psychiatrist or psychologist if you need to be evaluated to find out if you have ADHD. If you want meds don't go to a primary (family) physician. They will prescribe them for you, but often prescribe a dosage too low to be therapeutic. Also, if you try one or two different meds and they don't work, the primary doctor is probably going to refer you to a psychiatrist anyway.
As a matter of fact, there are a few non stimulant meds for ADHD. Wellbutrin and Concerta are the main ones. The only problem with these drugs is that even though they're safer than stimulants, they're less powerful and not as effective.
Kids with ADD should not take meds just take red #40 food coloring out of there diet and give them Attention you can get it at health stores. They don't meds you can take care of that your self Doctors want tell you that they want to drug them up with ADHD meds!
no but if anyone finds out they will put you in a hospital and put you on meds and f the meds don't help they will send you to a mental hospital or rehab
Most generic medications are covered under Blue Cross. Some new drugs may not be available under the insurance plan due to cost; consult the related link to verify.
