He got himself dressed and ate his breakfast. I just have advice about treating your son. Today is the third day that he has been taking this medication and for the first time, he woke up this morning and actually listened to me. I am also a Registered Nurse. I haven't heard of it. I had my son on this mix for about a month and 1/2 and I saw great results for about a week. I have tried adderral xr, regualar ritalin, ritalin la, focalin, straterra, concerta, risperidal and zoloft, they all work for about 3 months and then it doesnt seem to be enough, Our type of children need a coctail mix (like the two together) in order to have the symptoms dealt with, I know my child has type 5 adhd, which includes a lot of the odd characteristics.. We didn't have these behaviors, now at first, until it gets into their systems, they will have their issues, so u have to give it a few days or weeks, however long the doc told you it will take if u want to know right now, call the pharmacy and ask how long it takes to fully work.

He is not on any drugs. Adderall rated 7.9/10 vs Desoxyn rated 9.7/10 in overall patient satisfaction.

THIS WAS AMAZING TO ME!!! Lately, she has been having a lot of "mood swings" --mainly a big problem with severe ups and downs (I have speculated for years she suffers mild bipolar disorder).

This is really a concern with me because it is affecting his eating habits. Your pharmacist would be able to tell you this too, most meds with kids (unless is is antibiotics or along those lines) have to weaned on and off because who knows what kind of an affect they will have on your kid.

Long-acting Guanfacine, or Intuniv, is FDA approved for the treatment of ADHD, both for mono therapy and as an adjunctive therapy with stimulants. I am going to ask about effexor and adderral together and see what they say .. WHere is this place you took your son to? Children and adults diagnosed with ADHD might be prescribed clonidine or guanfacine as a way to avoid using or in addition to stimulants like Ritalin and Adderall.

I know Doctors are good, but you are you ONLY ADVOCATE for your child's health and it is up to you to get those answers!

This is good for anxiety because norephinephrine can increase anxiety but decreasing it may not be good if she is the innatentive type. https://www.mamapedia.com/article/strattera-or-adderal They sometimes think they are GOD, but they aren't.

He is only a half-day kinder student from 8:50-12:20 and he couldn't even handle going for this short amount of time. Her anxiety is especially bad.

But actually, i am not going to give it a complete thumbs up.

The school counselor had suggested that i visit his doctor that he had been taking his son to for years. His outbursts are usually at home after a stressful day at school, and the Clonidine can make you kind of sleepy. Please send me a note if you are interested in seeing this homeopath. Asperger's is something a psych would understand and the options.

I'm just very disillusioned with doctor's dispensing of drugs like candy with no regard for what this will actually do to the PERSON taking them!

https://www.mamapedia.com/article/advise-on-adhd-and-the-medications-for-a-five-year-old It is a totally different way of thinking, but has such great respect for how our bodies are made and how smart they are. My mom also has ADD and is also taking adderall. I have never experienced shortness of breath while taking Vyvanse, however, I am 25 years old and 180lbs. It is a blood pressure med and can do NOTHING to help focus like the Adderall XR.If he's having outbursts at school and is angry maybe you need Zoloft or some other serontonin re-uptake drug. My son takes that and it works for him.Whether you use meds, the natural route, behavior modification, prayer, WHATEVER, you should be under a psychiatrist advice for your son. This was a major blow to us because he could not have recess with the other children, lunch, and even have a long enough time period to be able to learn all that he needs.

https://www.mamapedia.com/article/son-just-diagnosed-with-adhd-anyone-tick-s-child-on-adderral-xr I think my son is odd and asperger's syndrome as well, though he has not been diagnosed as of yet on those two. We are treating him with natural supplements and homeopathy and have seen amazing improvements (especially since starting homeopathy).

My son is 7 and also was diagnosed at 4 with adhd.

Guanfacine is less sedating than Clonidine, so it could be a better choice...Intuniv has a half-life of 18 hours and can be dosed morning or night.

Good Luck T.M., I have written to you before about Jacob, he has taken Clonidine before, but not adderall, because hard to dx with add or adhd, he's on Tenex now which is same as Clonidine, they are both Blood pressure medications, but they help with behaviors and are supposed to calm them down, I know it works for Jacob but he and Logan are very different. I have noticed that if we forget the adderall that morning it does take the clonidine a longer to work.

I was so scared to put my child on any type of medication but my son is a living, breathing example that given together, these two medications absolutely work!!! We agreed and the doctor got my son started on adderall xr and clonidine.

In this article you can find out Clonidine side effects, what precautions should be done before taking and other useful …

That is INSANE!! Good Luck.

https://www.mamapedia.com/article/advice-add-adhd-meds Adderall (dextroamphetamine / amphetamine) is a first-choice treatment for ADHD that's available as a generic, but it's a stimulant that can cause difficulty sleeping and other side effects.

I have noticed that if we forget the adderall that morning it does take the clonidine a longer to work. I will give it a few more days to let his system adjust. Let me know how it goes.
