Usually they wait till 6 years of age for the medications to be given. However in severe hyperactivity, some clinicans start them early. Giving OT is good, mostly the ADHD symptoms will resolve with time, you can make a choice of waiting till 5-6 years before starting on medication, if you can manage. All the best.

Most of them respond well to concerta (which is an extended release preparation of methylphenidate which is a stimulant medication). If for whatever reason concerta does not suit you, there is no harm in trying atomoxetine. M...more

All young kids have some difficulty when it comes to writing or perfecting penmanship. But if your child's handwriting is consistently distorted or unclear, that may be caused by a learning disability called dysgraphia. This is a nervous system problem that affects the fine motor skills needed to write.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Axepta 10 tablet modulates the activity of certain chemical messengers in the brain, which increases attention and decreases restlessness. It is a non-stimulant medicine. If your son has adhd it is good and needed for him.

Atomoxetine may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or actions in children and teenagers with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd). Talk with the patient's doctor to be sure that the benefits of using atomoxetine outweigh the risks. Families and caregivers must closely watch patients who take atomoxetine.

1. Go through a self assessment with adult adhd rating scale (asrs).

Hi. Axepta is a drug for ADHD. And your doctor has increased the dose from 10 to 18 mg. Thats a normal treatment. Yes you have to give the drug life long. And these drugs do come with side effects but our main concern is not the side effects but to make the child relived of his symptoms. There are many othe drugs apart from it which can help him. If you want more information. Kindly consult online.
