Hello! I understand that you have a number of doctors and psychologists for your health problem. You are taking medicines from the psychiatrists. It is good that it will be helpful to you. But, psychiatric medicines have side effects sometimes. First of all, I think that you have to maintain a routine life everyday. Eat and sleep well. Besides, try to concentrate on certain activities you like much. Do some exercises regularly. You select a person liked by you. You need to share your feelings - ...more

It is important to gauge why he is feeling suicidal. Instead of simply medicating him, take him to a counsellor with whom he can share his worries & fears so that the right course of action can thereby be determined under the care & control of a responsible mental health professional.

Hello,
the slowness of the child is due to developmental delay either due to hypoxia or inherent brain formation. As you. Have not mentioned any details about his behaviour its difficult to pin point the cause of slow development, but I feel that medicines may not help him and I will tell you why.
Of course he does require lacosam in correct dosage to control his seizures so that he does not have recurrent seizures.
Frankly personally I feel that neuciti plus and nicerbium are not go...more

Non-stimulant for adhd? I am 19m and I had diagnosed with adhd 3 month my psychiatrist gave me starttera 6 mg and said to eat half a tablet for 14 days. After 14 days, no improvement so he increased dose to 18 mg full tablet this time. He said to eat it for 14 days. No major improvement also this time, he said to eat the same meds for 21 days. I was losing few minor improvements that I had got earlier from using it. After that he prescribed the same again for 1 month. Now, I am currently on 14th day of current one month period, with no major improvement. I forgot to add, I also have issues with my sleep and anxiety disorder. And I also, be autistic. He had given me 2.5 mg melatonin for sleep. I even, tried to ask what issue I have, is it adhd/autism. He stopped me saying that what you want, you want to be treated easily, early with less meds. Or you want to forever dependant on drug and visit me regularly. He was even against my habit of searching/trying to know what meds I am taking, what issue I have from web or any other source, even from the doc himself. What! fews day ago, my gi doc gave me amitriptyline for anxiety with ppi and multi vitamin, minerals antioxidants tablets, because he was suspecting anxiety is the main cause of my gerd issue. Tbh, my gi doc meds were much more effective for my mental health than my psychiatrist. English isn't my native, sorry for that. Haha. Even I suck at my native language. Current meds addvitamin max tablets afternoon, benztre-d 20 mg morning empty stomach, triplet-10 10 mg 2 times a day, altonil plus 5 (5 mg) at night, axepta-18 (18 mg) morning. It also includes my adhd, gerd and anxiety meds.

If depression is diagnosed by specialist, then bupropion will definitely help although first preference is given to other ssris depending on patient profile. But atomoxetine is not used for depression as 1st or 2nd line unless adhd symptoms are there along with depression. So amtalk to your psychiatrist and clarify your diagnosis first and why atomoxetine is added.

In clinical settings, side effects are not much. Moderate to severe adhd does need medicines to control it.

Effects are till you take medicine but with age there is gradual decline in adhd symptoms. And medicine helps with precious years of schooling and improves performance.
