Son’s 1st day on Quillivant
My son is 7(8 in less than 6wks) and I noticed when he was 3/4 that he was ALWAYS extremely hyper, never still, constantly talking, no activity kept him interested for long, usually did several things at once...often not completing one. Once he was upset, it took a lot to bring him down and his emotions

To seek a 2nd opinion or not
So my son was dx with adhd and on focalin xr and had an amazing week at school. He has definite opp defiant behavior too which isn’t great at home yet. Do I stick with my current psychiatrist who is amazing tho not a great rapport with son. Or do I go for a 2nd opinion with a psychiatrist who is hard

Trileptal-Any Experience?
We just left my 7yr old’s prescribing doctor and he has decided to add the medicine trileptal to his schedule in addition to the Focalin and Focalin XR that he already takes? Anybody had any experience good or bad with this med?!

7yr old on Focalin but something has to change
My youngest boy struggles tremendously with his ADHD and the effects it has on him. He has taken guanfacine and tenex in the past. The guanfacine had no effect on him and the tenex made him an emotional mess! We have had him on Focalin XR during the day and Focalin in the evening. He has been taking

Brain zaps/ brain shivers?
Ok. So I know this is a thing (brain zaps). I get them mainly when I’m waking up from sleeping. Do you guys get them and what are they like for you? I have had them on and off ever since I was on Effexor (this was probably about 1-1.5 years ago). I had never had them before starting antidepressants and

Antidepressant
Hi Everybody, My doctor wants to put me on an antidepressant. She thinks Effexor would be good. Would this effect my RLS? What antidepressant would work w/o harmful effects on my pitiful legs? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Glad to be here but frustrated by my rls...
Hi, I have had rls for as ling as i can remember but the past number of years it has gotten much worse. I used to get it only in my legs and it was totally managable. I am starting to learn that taking effexor and other anti depressants over the past 4 years has exacerbated the vonditin severly. I don't

I have had severe RLS for over 20 years, and have gone through all the meds mentioned on the site. Currently on sinemet & valium, which have been the most effective. However, in the last 6 months the symptoms have worsened & I was having to take oxycontin 2-3 nights a week. I also take effexor for

Work issue
Hello! I'm new here so here goes! I was removed from a position at work because I mistakenly took me son's medicine. You see I'm a driver and am subject to random drug screening. I take Ritalin LA and my son takes Adderall XR. One morning I took his by mistake and had a test at work and didn't realize

This is my story.
A friend of mine recommended this site to me to help give me some peace of mind that I’m not struggling alone... After I read her in-depth story of her own personal struggle I felt a whole new level of ease to know I’m not suffering alone... I guess after reading her own story it inspired me to put mine

Effexor XR Side Effects
Took my last dose of fluoxetine 20mg yesterday and started
Effexor
XR
at 75mg today. I haven't had any anxiety today which is such a blessing, but I've had such a Brain fog feeling..kind of in a daze and as if I'm in slow motion. Anyone else experienced this with starting Effexor?
