After Lupron I have been having seizures
Hi, In December 2023 I decided to finally undergo treatment for my prostate cancer, Gleason scale 6, with a high PSA of 63 (or 48 on another test) I had had this cancer for eight years WITHOUT it spreading. But doctors kept warning (I would almost say harassing) me, so... I underwent one shot of lupron

liver
I’m 73 and been feeling extra tired recently, otherwise fit and well. I thought the tiredness might be caused by Keppra a drug I take for epilepsy, I’m also on statins … but anyway the GP did a blood test, the Serum Alanine transaminase was ‘out of range’ at 54 u/l. I’ve always been a drinker but stick

New drug
Hello, My son has recently been prescribed Zonisamide. His epilepsy has not been controlled with other drugs although both Lamotrigine and Oxcarbazepine kerbed tonic clonic seizures. Introduced to Keppra and tonic clonic returned...so now suggested to stop Keppra and introduce Zonisamide. On low dose

Changing meds: Strattera to Wellbutrin
TL;DR - I asked my doctor to do a trial of treatment with bupropion (Wellbutrin). I'm hoping that it treats my Inattentive traits as well as atomoxetine (Strattera) and that it also helps me with motivation. I've been on generic Strattera (atomoxetine) for three years. It helps with most of my Inattentive

Guanfacine ER 1 mg reviews
My son has been diagnosed with adhd a couple years back. He was taking Adderall XR but it wasn’t the right fit for my son. He is now 10 and we are starting with medication again along with therapy to help. My question is; can anyone share their child’s experience with me on this specific type of medication

Adderall XR: Increase dosage?
I have an upcoming psych visit and I’m thinking of asking my prescriber to up my dosage. I’m currently on Adderall XR 15 mg which is working better than the other drugs I’ve tried. I’m still having issues with focus, decision making, knowing what the steps are in a project and memory. Here’s an example

Focalin comedown
My son (11) has been on Focalin XR for about 2 months (5mg the first month - no effect, and now 10mg). We've noticed that around 7pm, he often can get super down and sad. It's not every night, but it's at least a couple times a week. Sometimes he can identify something bothering him, but other times

Meds for DMDD & ADHD
My son was recently diagnosed with DMDD along with his ADHD last week. I was wondering if any parents here have their kids on any medications for both disorders? So far his psychiatrist only prescribed him with Quillivant XR. we haven’t started medicating him yet because we’re waiting for authorization
