It is a highly regulated medicine and schedule x drug. It may not be given online or tele consultation. So kindly consult a psychiatrist in person and get evaluated and if eligible get it prescribed in triplicate prescription. Good luck.

Epilepsy needs to be treated for long time may be years. Prophylactic antiepileptics are the mainstay of therapy. Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder of children which needs continuous training and graded environmental stimulation under guidance of professionals. Medicines does not help much in autism but repetitive behavior and self harming behaviour may be controlled. You should get your child trained in a special school for disabled children.

None of these medicines is helpful for maximized focus & comprehensive efficiency for 2-3 hours. If you take adderal without clear cut indication for its use the side effects will be grave. If a normal person takes it the concentration will fly around and go haphazard.

No, you should not take methylphenidate for this. Rather than adding one more medication just to avoid side effect of current medications better option is to modify your current medication regime. You may take these medications in night if you are taking in day or change the medication if you already taking them in night. Consult your treating psychiatrist or take second opinion from another psychiatrist nearby or online. All the best.

I am having this weird headaches since april. It starts with extreme pressure on right jaw then moves to nose and behind eyes and then the head. Initially on one side of the entire face and head feels pressure then it moves to the other side. The pressure and pain is not constant, it’s more like an attack. It becomes difficult to open mouth or concentrate and I get into a brain fog. It comes few days every other week and is extreme for certain hours. Sometimes my right ear rings too. If I lie down I can feel that pressure and tension on back of my head too. I have had tmj problems due to clinching and bruxism since childhood. I also have adhd and consume 20 mg methylphenidate hydrochloride daily. I was very active before lockdown, basically a boxer and wrestler. This issue arose along with back ache.

Anxiety Stress patients worry too much...Stress In today’s day & age where stress is high, feelings of frustration can emerge. It is our perception that can change our current negative situation into a healthy & positive one. Another way of perceiving these feelings of frustration can be by looking at them as an opportunity to push ourselves to go that little extra mile until we achieve our objective. However, there are times when we all can go around in circles; and being in this space can be q...more

I am under treatment for severe adhd. I’ve been prescribed concert and medicines (methylphenidate) but haven’t responded well to it. After a couple days I stopped because I was having a lot of anxiety and some other minor side effects, but I did’t feel any improvement. If I try ritalin would it be different? I know that it is the same substance just not the same delivery mechanism but does it have the mechanism of action. Or maybe I should try the same medications i’ve been prescribed a little longer and see if it has a different effect? I figured that I should conclude on the effectiveness and respond of the substance on my brain the first time I took it as it is a stimulant but I am not sure. I want to try amphetamine based stimulants but they are’t available in france (there is one -attention 5 mg, a form of dexamfetamine- but it is extremely difficult to have it prescribed). I will soon be on strattera (atomoxetine) and I wonder after a few weeks when it should normally reach its effectiveness will it “work” like a stimulant? I mean will the effects be felt on a daily basis after taking the pill? Thank you.

Hello! sounds to me like you are feeling quite confused and frustrated in the moment. It may be helpful for you to continue the dosage prescribed by your psychiatrist. Sometimes medicines take time to work. All medicines need to be taken for the time they have been given. The regimen matters in psychiatric medication. Unlike other meds, we can not choose to reduce dosage or stop taking. That being said, finish the course and then go to psychiatrist to explain side effects. Sometimes side effects...more
