Dualtherapy Keppra and Lamict
Hi, Wondering if I can get some advice so my son was put on Keppra back in March unfortunately it did not work for him so they have introduced Lamictal. He is currently on 1500mg of Keppra twice a day and will be on 100mg of Lamictal twice a day maintenance dose. The Neurologist did not mention when

Too quick to diagnose?
Hi everyone, I’m fairly new here. Joined this forum after stating to discuss possible ADHD with my therapist, then reading a book she recommended about ADD in women and highlighting almost every page as I recognized myself in all of the writing, then succumbing to intense anxiety for which I was prescribed

Vyvanase
My doctor is changing my prescription from 30mgs of Adderall XR to 50mgs of Vyvanase. I was wondering if there was anyone here who has taken the drug and what there experience was while taking it?

Stopped smoking, stopped having seizures
Hi. I just wanted to share my experience here in the hope that it might help others. Four years ago I crashed my car whilst having, what I later found out to be, an absence seizure (I crashed into a lorry, luckily no one was hurt). I went to the doctor, surrendered my driving license and booked an

Adderall
I'm reaching out again to hear from the community. My 8 yr old grandson was prescribed Adderall XR 10mg for his ADHD, and although at home and his teacher at school saw a reduction in his impulsivity and improvements in recall, we felt that at home there was an increase in his irritability and aggression

Parent of newly diagnosed teenager
My 16 yr old son has received a diagnosis, having had two focal epilepsy seizures out of the blue (TC ones on awakening, which we've witnessed and called emergency services). He's now on Keppra and I guess we won't know how effective it is until months have passed without more episodes. He doesn't

new diagnosis after seizures starting 4 weeks ago, 37 weeks pregnant. Any advice?
hi, so I started taking seizures out of the blue nearly four weeks ago now. Due to being pregnant I have been seen pretty quick by neurology who diagnosed epilepsy seizures and started me on keppra. I think they believe they are focal seizures with 2nd generalisation. They and maternity both do not think

Adderall XR Nationwide Shortage
This morning I was informed by my pharmacist that there is a national shortage of Adderall XR due to several factors. While it is debatable as to whether or not the medication was truly helping to alleviate my symptoms (I take 30 mgs of XR, which I feel is too low) I was wondering what other medications

Different manufacturers’s generic Adderalls work differently to you as well?
I started to take generic Adderall xr 10mg and I felt very good. One day, my pill was changed to a different manufacturer’s ones and I started to feel terrible. I have a dull headache and I lost motivation and focus. My food craving is back. I feel like I don’t want to do anything but I want to stay

Irritable on Adderall XR
I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and started on 10mg Adderall xr and everything was going well for about a month. Then I started to feel very irritated by everyone. I would snap at my husband and daughter for every little thing. It got so bad I just stopped taking my meds but now I’m back to my old

Help for a Newbie!
Hi all! While looking for ADHD resources, I came across this site- and am so thankful! I am 36 and received my diagnosis at 35 after years of telling doctors that there had to be an overarching reason for all of the symptoms that were bothering me! I was told it was because I’m a mom, and diagnosed

Has anyone taken the GeneSight test? What was your experience, was it helpful for your medication management?
I just received a copy of my GeneSight test results in advance of an appointment with my psychiatrist. I have some preliminary ideas as to how to interpret and use this info. Some background: I have Bipolar II and ADHD-C. I've been on 18mg of Concerta since January 2021, until the last couple of months
