ADD-ADHD

I am the mother of a 38 year old daughter with Aspergers Syndrome. If you are describing yelling, repeating, animated, PANIC!! This is NOT a punishable tantrum/behaviour; it is a frustrated cry for help. At my house that behavior signals sensory overload OR that she doesn't have a concrete solution for an abstract problem. I believe the standard behavior modifications are: calendars, lists, journals - making the abstract more concrete (even for things we think are goofy)!! My girl has a HS diploma, independently rides public transportation, has a job and even a boyfriend; BUT, like an actress, she needs a script to follow so - we rehearse new situations in advance so that she has confidence instead of fear. When a new situation has been successfully accomplished - PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE. When WE learn to think like THEY think, it will become second nature and, like riding a bicycle, you'll never forget.

Increased heart rate, increased anxiety, cardiac dysrhythmias.

Yes, I do it all the time, so do lots of adders.

Concerta is made to treat ADHD. You would have to ask your doctor about the possibility of treating PTSD with Concerta.

Though Respidoral is often considered for the treatment of ADHD, it is a heavy drug, that is it is an extremely potent anti-psychotic usually prescribed for people with schizophrenia, psychosis and severe autism. It does work in some cases, but it causes anxiety, often depression, and you typically gain about 20 kilograms (45 pounds) of weight. This is in addition to the side effects often experienced when people use drugs like haloperidol, such as akathisia, dry mouth, muscle-stiffness, muscle-cramping, restlessness, tremors, Rabbit syndrome and in severe cases of accidental over-prescription, drug-induced coma.

Basically, not worth the risk.

If you have ADHD, and are considering a course of medications, the best thing I can recommend is good diet and regular healthy exercise, followed by a low-dosage course of Ritalin or atomoxetin.

It is common for those with an Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis to also carry an ADHD diagnosis. There is speculation that the two syndromes may be related because of their presentation, and often, co-diagnosis. Both syndromes share a core deficit: executive dysfunction.

If you want to manage destructive children bribe them a little. Like if they destroy something than they can't check a book out from the school library or something like that.

Adult ADHD is not even considered a condition by the US government. Therefore there aren't any statistics available to accurately answer your question.

I think you are asking what stimulant a doctor usually prescribes. One is Adderall and it works very well. I have Adult ADHD and i take 2 30mg adderall pills a day, and it has changed my life for the better.

You are not alone on this. I've only been on Vyvanse for the three days and I've had two Lucid Dreams in a row that have happened completely on impulse. If you are having too many strange dreams though, I would recommend you talk with your doctor. But yes, strange vivd dreams, nightmares, and even memorable Lucid Dreams are perfectly normal to have while taking over 20 milligrams of Vyvanse.

Vyvanse is a prescription medication used to treat adults and children that have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This medication can be habit forming if it is not used properly.

All medicines can cause side effects. The meds used for treating ADHD act upon the chemicals in the brain, so anywhere these chemicals have action, there can be side effects. Not everyone experiences the same side effects, but it is important to discuss with your physician any that you have so that treatment can be geared directly toward your condition.

* IF you use an energy medicine you will not get bad side effects!!

You might want to look for an alternative non drug way to be able to pay attention better, look at the higher potential you would have.

You might also consider trying ADD-care. It is the only natural supplement that has been shown to rival the stimulants as shown in SPECT brain imaging scans and the Conner's impulsivity test at the Amen Clinic.

It's a focused stimulant, expect an increase in mental focus and energy. Think of caffeine, but more powerful, and focused on the thinking areas of the thinking areas of the brain instead of just keeping you awake. It can also cause anxiety and other issues in a normal person.

Concerta is a stimulant, like Ritalin. If you take it before bed, it will probably keep you up.

No; Suboxone is a brand name for the drug buprenorphine which is an opioid. Most ADHD medication belong to a group of drugs known as stimulants and could cause false positives for methamphetamine and other stimulants.

No; repetitive movements are more likely to be a symptom of autism. Twitching or fidgeting are symptoms of ADHD that involve movement.

It works both ways in this case. ADHD/ADD is generally not taken seriously in adult cases, which leads to a lack of medication/psychological treatment. This could lead to a depression due to the fact that you generally will feel that you are not normal, or that you can't do things right.

But in most cases, ADHD/ADD is something you are born with, and thus it is not "created", but in some cases a depression/anxiety can force the brain into making the same chemical imbalances as you see in a ADHD/ADD case. Although this happens, it is also arguable that the imbalance was present at birth, but the brain had learnt how to manage with it.

Individuals with persistent coccydynia may be treated with physical therapy including modalities such as ultrasound and heat. Osteopathic manipulation and mobilization techniques are sometimes performed if the physician determines that mobility of the sacrococcygeal segments is decreased. Three sessions of coccygeal manipulation via the rectum have been found to be twice as effective in reducing pain as external physical therapy for those with traumatic onset of pain and a stable coccyx (Maigne). Active exercises and a home exercise program to improve pelvic strength may be incorporated in the treatment regimen. Individuals may be advised to increase fiber intake or to take stool softeners to prevent painful constipation.

A persistent feeling of giddiness may be due to excess caffeine consumption, a hyperactivity disorder, or simply being an excitable person.

The deepest stage of sleep is REM or Rapid Eye Movement.

The power of a medication depends mainly on the person's reaction, milligram dosages, and height, weight and metabolism. Usually the brand name or basic chemical structure matter less than the method of action, so the list will be ordered by the strength of the method of action Anti-anxiety- SSRI's, depressants, irregular anti-physchotics, regular anti-physchotics.

Depression- SSRI's or mood stabilizers, SNRI's, triclinic, MAOI, irregular anti-physchotics, regular anti-physchotics, stimulants (methlphenydate, amphetamine)

ADHD- SSRI's, SNRI's, Welbutrin, Straterra, XR methlphenydate, XR amphetamines, Vyvvance, IR methlphenydate, IR amphetamines

Surgical treatment of TB may be used if medications are ineffective.

Why would you have any negative social implications as an adult? You certainly have control over who finds out that someone has put a label on you. If you get on meds that are right for your condition, it will only help any social dilemmas. I was diagnosed and treated as a child and after neglecting it for 25 years, I was again diagnosed, Adult ADD. My social interaction with people and co-workers has been much, much better.
