Stimulant/Adderall crash
I have been on Adderall XR for 3 months and things have gone well, but I have noticed a recurring theme. About once a week I will suddenly be mentally exhausted and grumpy even with my medication and the only thing that fixes it is about a 12 hour sleep. Every day prior to this I feel fine and hugely

Can I mix Adderall XR with Yoo-hoo to get child to take it?
I was thinking about opening the capsule into a medicine cup and just adding a few squirts of Yoo-hoo so he will drink it down. Will this be ok?

Directed attention Exhaustion and Adderall XR
My son has recently started Adderall XR and has said he gets tired and exhausted after focusing on tasks and assignments that aren't very interesting. Is this fairly common and what can be done to minimize this exhaustion? Thanks!

Antidepressants for ADHD and aggression
Hello everyone! I just wanted to start by saying how grateful I am to be part of this community. The connections have been a saving grace for me. I am also wondering if anyone has trialed antidepressant medication for their child with ADHD/ODD/anxiety. Focalin XR has helped but only mildly. My 7 year

Keppra side effect of repetitive rhythm in head
Keppra at 500 mg twice daily has reduced my focal seizures to almost none, however when I bumped up to that dose I began hearing a repetitive rhythm repeating in my mind. It’s always there when it’s quiet and everything I do seems to pick up that rhythm in my mind. One of my doctors says that could

I have been in a huge funk lately and can’t do what I rly need to do. Am I depressed or just burnt out? Antidepressants or change ADHD meds?
Lately my college classes have drained all my energy, and I feel so burnt out. I keep pushing everything off until I have no choice, and the only choice left is to push myself really hard to get my assignments or studying done in time. I am below the passing grade in one class, and my exam is on Tuesday

Orlando,Fl
Has anyone worked with a good child psychologist in Orlando,Fl ? My nearly 8year old son has severe ADHD and has been having difficulty with feelings of anger and opposition. A lot of his anger is demonstrated at school and he is subsequently frequently in trouble. He is currently taking Focalin XR in

What side effects do people experience with sodium valproate?
It's been suggested I change my medication from Keppra to sodium valproate because I am experiencing too many side effects. I was just wondering what other peoples experiences were with sodium valproate.

My first day of Adderall XR
My doctor just started me on 15 mg of Adderall XR which I took my first dose of this morning. I took it with food because I read that some people have an unpleasantly intense experience on an empty stomach. So far, the focus level I'm experiencing is amazing, I am less moody, and less anxious. I wonder

Keppra rage
anyone else experience this? I've noticed over the past few years that I'm having more and more episodes where something that wouldn't normally get me angry, gets me angry and there are triggers that bring a red mist and I can lose it completely. How do you deal with it, I'm know what triggers me most

What to do when Adderall XR stops working.
I've been taking Adderall XR for several months now and it doesn't seem to be working any more. Anyone had this problem? What did you do?

Keppra side effects- does reducing the dose cause seizures?
Hi, I have been on Keppra 1000mg bd for the last 3 years which hasnt changed my grand mal seizure frequency, only the absence seizures. I developed side effects which I have ignored as I was too scared of another seizure to risk reducing it back down to 750mg bd. Depression and anxiety, mood changes,

CBD to mitigate side effects
Hi all! So after about 2 years, my 15 year old has a good regimen of adderall XR 15mg. She was not using it on weekends but has started, saying that it's helpful in other aspects of life - like even not getting frustrated by not have focus to clean her room properly. She'd said before that she gets cranky
