What a weekend
I was playing with my friend's children on Thursday. I remember the first five minutes, next thing I know, I am strapped to a hospital bed at 3am. Imagine that? The doctors told me nothing. After all, who am I? My wife came down the next day, but I was so out of it on military strength drugs,

Focalin XR Generic by Teva - thoughts?
Hey yall, first time poster here. My son will be 8 in a week; he's been on Concerta since last November, but after increasing his dose from 9mg to 18, then 27, it just wasn't enough - his focus and impulse control were better but his emotional regulation was still severely lacking. We bumped to 36mg

Focalin xr
My son has been taking focalin xr for about a year now. He is 13 years old. Im concerned with his weight and him losing his appetite while on the medication. He doesnt take it on weekends as has a normal appetite but when hes on it hes never hungry. Has anyone else run into this problem on this drug?

Can epilepsy stop?
I developed Epilepsy four years ago, starting with partial seizes and quickly progressing to full seizures in a couple of months. However the odd thing was that these seizures came about every 3 weeks when I would have a cluster, then stop for another 3 weeks. Really odd!! Eventually Keppra was the

Relationship between CLL and Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Certain antiseizure (antiepileptic) medications, such as Carbamazepine (Tegretol), cause a lymphocytosis. Does anyone know of a relationship between this medication and the incidence of CLL? Keppra is another seizure mediacation that causes a lymphocytosis. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated

alcohol and medication
Hi, My 18 y/o daughter has CP and Seizure Disorder. She is on Keppra, Lamictal and Epilim to control her seizures. Will an occasional glass of wine upset the balance of these medications?

Straterra vs Adderall XR
Has anyone taken adderall xr and switched to straterra? I am terrified. I was taking Adderall XR 30mg twice a day and my doctor switched me to STRATTERA 60mg a day. The XR's were working great for me and im afraid it isnt going to work the same.

New Medication after Vyvanse?
Hello, I’m very new to this site. My son, now 23 was diagnosed with ADHD in the third grade. He successfully took Adderall XR for about 8 years (the last two of those years were a mess). He then was changed to Vyvanse 70 mg for the last 6 years. Although, there have always been struggles, the medication

Has anyone had problems with their child’s medicine not showing up in urine test?
Long post but I’m confused and am just trying to see if this has happened to anyone else too! My 8 year old has been taking Focalin XR since Kindergarten and until this last month we have never had a problem with it showing up on his urine tests. He is now on a 20mg dose and I give it to him every day

Metallic taste and smell when I blow my nose.
When I blow my nose, I get a metallic taste and smell that can last all day. The medications I take, Keppra and Lamictal, do not say metallic taste or smell are potential side effects. Started drinking more water everyday, roughly 2 liters. Been trying different diets and testing foods, like staying

Breathlessness while on Keppra
I started with Epilepsy about 4 years ago and eventually the fits settled on Keppra having tried both Lamotragine and sodium valporate. After 3 years on 1000 mg per day split into 2 doses, I suffered a really bad reaction to the Keppra- intense nausea, bad back ache and dreadful confusion and the dose
