Dear Lybrate user
along with medicines, you need to take counseling too. Medicines alone will not help and they are also not good in the long run as you have already written that you feel nausea and tiredness because of these. So, taking counseling would be a wise decision. Also you need to take care of your diet. A proper balanced diet is very much important for you.
Contact a counselor near you in person or you can also contact me for online counseling.

Dear lybrate-user,
you psychiatrist knows your diagnosis and treatment algorithms. Sizodon or quetiapine is given to augment fluoxetine and atomoxetine - not just for insomnia. They are given at low dose also. Still you need to make lifestyle changes to control your weight, sugar levels and other medical illnesses. (i don't know your age - but I know your weight as 104 kg). Don't worry about withdrawals now - it is a long way.

Atomoxetine is usually safe for heart, but in some cases it may increase heart rate an bp, that is kind of put more load on heart. Kindly check with a psychiatrist dealing with intellectual disabilities.

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

Hello; first you have to stop giving him neurocetum or similar named syrup you are giving him. What is your son's weight & height? c. Atomoxetine (acepta) is a very good medication & we can increase its dose depending on your sons responses like studies, behavior in class etc. In addition, there are other good medications like methylphenidate, clonidine also which can be prescribed if required. Do revert back for further help. Good luck.
