What will happen with 100mg of Strattera?

Answer: Strattera is not at all harmful at 100mg. Basically if you can handle or avoid the side effects the result of taking 100 mg would be increased alertness, and better attention span. It really helps you concentrate. However, Strattera has a black box warning about the potential of suicidal thoughts in children. So keep this in mind, and I would not recommend taking Strattera at all if you have any form of depression, anxiety, or any form of bipolar or psychosis. And you should stop taking Strattera immediately if you start to have thoughts of suicide or sudden changes in behavior such as agitation or irratibility. Ultimately you should talk to your doctor to determine if 100mg is necessary for your individual treatment. hope this helps***


ADHD Treatments for Children and Adults?

The treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD, differs in children and adults. The treatments involve various medications that may work in children or adults, and there are also behavioral treatments that are offered in addition to the medications. The medications vary by some of them being stimulants and some being nonstimulants. It is important to learn about the various side effects that can occur by taking some of these medications. There are also ways to learn about how to reduce these side effects. There are also clinical trials that a patient can participate in to find out if there is a new and more effective way to treat ADHD. A patient with ADHD can even learn how to change his lifestyle to be able to cope better with this illness. The most common treatments for ADHD are the medications of Ritalin and Dexedrine. These are stimulants that are made to increase attention and decrease hyperative behavior. There are also other stimulants to achieve the same results. The stimulants have side effects such as sleep problems, vomiting, nervousness, blurred vision, constipation and a more serious rash or trouble breathing. The nonstimulant medications have been approved by the FDA and include Strattera and Intuniv. Intuniv was just approved recently in 2009 and is only recommended for children who are from 6 to 17 year of age. Strattera can be used for both children and adults. The benefits of these nonstimulants are that not only do they reduce distractions and improve attention, they also don’t cause any agitation. These nonstimulants also let the patient have a good night’s sleep, have less chance of causing addition, and last longer than stimulants. A few of the side effects of Strattera and Intuniv include upset stomach, decrease in appetite, fatigue, nausea, mood swings, headache and abdominal pain. There are also more serious side effects similar to the ones that many antidepressants have. The behavioral treatments include behavior management programs, counseling and social skills training. These treatments should also be done while the person is on one of the medications.
