Hello! Day 1
Hello out there - our 7-year old son was diagnosed with ADD back in August and we started meds last Friday, Adderall XR - 10 mg. I joined today because the last 2 nights he's had a hard time falling asleep. I found a few posts about taking a supplement and landed on the Brain MD Restful Sleep supplement

Genesight
I forgot to mention that my son took the genetic testing and all the adhd meds were in the red zone. Which meant he had a significant gene drug interaction with all the adhd meds. My doctor did not explain what that meant. When I went home I read the report and understood that none of those meds will

ADHD meds
So we started Adderall XR 2 days ago. My son is 10 years old and since we started he seems agitated and annoyed. He stayed up til 1:30AM when he usually sleeps by 9pm. Today was his first time at school while on meds. He had a terrible day. I got an email from his eip teacher saying he argued with her

Medication stopped working after two weeks?
Hello Support team (Yes, you all are), My daughter is currently on Focalin XR which was increased in dosage, and started Guanfacine about 3-4 weeks ago. When the guanfacine was started, it was almost night and day. We had tons of great reports from school, she was making great progress at home. Fast

CBD in lieu of anti convulsants
I take 500mg of Keppra twice a day to control my clonic tonic seizures. I’ve been told this is a low dose, but it has been affective in keeping me seizure free. Has anyone had experience with weening themselves off of Keppra (or other anti convulsants) and replacing with CBD?

Changing meds
Looking for some advice about meds. My son is 8 and takes Adderall XR 10mg. We thought it was helping but I am just not sure it is the right medication. His appetite is poor and not sleeping well lately. Doctor suggested Remeron to help with sleep and appetite? Anyone ever try it? Did it help?

Levetiracetam (Keppra) to help in some cases of RLS.
Tim61, I posted recently about withdrawing from Pramipexole, which I’m doing at the moment, not very nice. My GP eventually discovered I was suffering with myoclonic jerks, not restless leg syndrome. I saw him yesterday’ & he has agreed to try keppra ( levetiracetam) 250mg at night. I took the first

Looking for Answers
Hi everyone! I'm new to this group and I have a very interesting medical history. I was wondering if anyone possibly shared my story. So here goes...I got epilepsy out of nowhere when I was 19 (of course I had just bought my first car). Doctors could not find a medicine that my body would not reject

Help with 12yr old son and school/home work!
My son is 12 years old, he is a 7th grader and we are struggling with his grades. Im trying as much as I can to help him, but also trying to make him responsible for his own grades. He is currently on Focalin XR, I've been considering CBD oil but I honestly don't know what else to do to help him be successful
