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

What To Do Next?
Hi Friends, First post here, although I've come back to this forum a few times. I'm at a spot where, even though I know it's untrue, I feel like I'm experiencing anxiety like no one has ever experienced it before (we all know the lonely feeling). I've been dealing with this for about a year an a half

Irritability in the evenings
I have always had a hard time transitioning from work to home. Even before I had kids, I would have to decompress before I could even talk to my husband. With kids, it’s worse because I just have to jump into being with them, making dinner, laundry etc. I have built in a little break for myself that

New ADHD diagnosis for my 6 year old girl

The past year of school has been incredibly challenging: hitting the teacher, explosive emotions, easily frustrated, highly impulsive.

Epilim and folate / change to lamotrigine ?
I was put on Epilim in my teens. Some years later, I became symptom free, and I was unmedicated for 10 years. I had to go back on Epilim Chrono five years ago - which may have been triggered by my thyroid problems. I’ve been on the thyroid forum, where it transpires that I am short on folate. A quick

Cenobamate experience
After an increase in seizure frequency my consultant is talking about changing me from keppra + lamotragine to Keppra + Cenobamate. The only review I can find of Cenobamate are on drugs.com. It does tend to attract negative reviews. The consensus seems to be that it works for epilepsy, but the side

Keppra increases
Started on 250mg. keppra tonight after failing clonodine quickly (leg cramps and increased blood pressure did in that one). 250mg isn't enough, at least tonight, and I am wondering how quickly I should increase. Doc says I can go up to 750mg. and I have a terrible time with tolerating medicines. Any

Advice required
I had I seizure in 2010 and my MRI was clear, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t have an EEG. I was put on Epilim chrono 1200 mg and have been seizure free since. I went privately so looks like they just signed me off and I never got any NHS follow ups. About a year ago I went back to my GP and asked due

What dose of adderall is your child on?
Hi everyone! My son is 7 years old and up to 15mg of Adderall XR. I don’t see it working much anymore and the next increase will be 20mg. If your kid is around the same age and on Adderall, please share their milligram/dosing. Or did your kid not have the best results on it and switch to another stimulant

Help with blood test interpretation for my daughter
Hello Everyone, I'm new here and asking for my 18 year old daughter. I've come over from the Thyroid UK forum at their suggestion. She's been quite unwell for about 3-4 years slowly getting worse. We've been stuck with unhelpful medics both private and NHS who have not got anywhere with her symptoms

Claiming PIP again!
Hi I had bilateral chronic subdural haematoma and burr hole drainage in Feb 2022. I had a fall and broke my leg the previous summer which led to the brain bleeds. I applied for PIP last year after coming out of hospital and even though I went to tribunal I scored 0 points. I've just made the phone call
