Medication changes
Hi I am new to this community. I have a 7yo boy who was diagnosed in end of Kindergarten (he is now in 2nd grade). He recently had a big change in his mood and attitude. He was doing well with medication alone and some behavioral modification. I am only seeing a neurologist and I am currently seeking

Concerta 27mg
Hello, my son is 10 years old and we started meds at the end of last year. He has been on adderall xr and concerta Xr I believe 18mg and then bumped up the dose to 27mg. We haven’t really seen much improvement in school. Especially in reading/writing. The teachers are always letting me know that he is

Getting a negative result on Amphetamine urine despite being on generic Adderall daily.
I've been treated for ADD for at least the past 10 years and prescribed Adderall ( currently taking the generic version by Prasco). I take 25 mg of Adderall XR and 10mg of immediate release mid day. I take my meds religiously. My new doctor gave me two urine test to screen for Amphetamines and BOTH came

Myoclonus and Sleep Deprivation
Once again I turned on the light in the early morning, this time at 3 am, to view the show: a furious firing of fasciculations beneath the surface of my calf. This has been my ongoing living nightmare. Carbidopa-Levodopa, my latest treatment drug, is now failing. I have given up on sleep in the wee hours

Picky 8YO on Adderall XR needs to gain weight
Any good ideas for getting our picky eater to eat enough calories to start gaining weight? (Without meds he’s a dynamo, less so on meds, but he’s always moving, so he burns plenty of calories.). Wondering about kid-friendly shakes (think Ensure) that taste good. Don’t want to buy a bunch of something

Use caution with your meds.
Yesterday I took my 4 O'Clock dose at noon. So I found this out when I went to take my 4'O Clock dose. It wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't have Lyrica and Keppra to take at 4 O'Clock. So my feet are burning something fierce right now. That's also probably why I didn't sleep all that well. I'll definitely

Does adderall work ?
One difference between the drugs is how fast they work and how long they last. Adderall may work slightly faster, but Concerta lasts longer: Adderall typically works within 30 minutes and lasts for 5 to 7 hours. Adderall XR usually works within 30 minutes and lasts about 8 to 10 hours http://verifieddrugstore.com

34 yrs,7 meds and a surgery later: Only Marijuana controls my seizures. Less side effects, less money, and greatly improved quality of life.
It took some time to determine, but the fact of the matter is that Marijuana is the only medication that controls my seizures. I regret not trying it until after I graduated high school. Phenabarbital, Dilantin, Trileptal, Keppra, Vimpat, Fycompa, Lamictal, Surrgery: I SWEAR TO YOU, FROM THE BOTTOM

Lamictal and electric shock nighttime 'seizures'
I have had JME for nearly fifty years, but I was on Keppra, then Epilim, then Fycompa, all with Lamictal from circa 2012 that caused the question? I was taken off these medications, BUT it was when I was on the Lamictal solely when I would have these attacks, I would still be having my Grand mal attacks

Officially on the second month, second bottle of mekinist. Still almost no side effects. The rash comes and goes. Never amounts to anything thank god. No fevers, had a few nights when he first started where he was close to 100.4 but never reached it. Seems like he is adjusting well to the combo. Pain

Elevated D-Dimer; No Pulmonary Embolisim
I'm a 31 year old female who found myself in the ER (again) yesterday with chest pains, and periodic episodes of dry cough and shortness of breath that come on suddenly, often when I'm not doing anything strenuous - I can get short of breath putting dishes away but later in the day run on the cross trainer

New to ADD meds but need to switch
I was diagnosed in April with ADD. I have always struggled with school but had been able to compensate until reaching the doctoral level. After almost quitting my program I decided to get evaluated. I started taking the generic Concerta in April and It has really made a difference and enabled me to make
