Health Query

If your family Dr. was giving you your ADHD medicine but wanted you to eventually find a psychiatrist and you found one and they change your medicine up and you have a reaction to it and can’t take it, you are no longer going to see the psychiatrist so you ask your family Dr. to put you back on the medicine that he had you on bit he says he can’t until 30 days bcz of the other medicine from the psychiatrist which I threw away bcz I had such a bad reaction to it and I need to get back on my regular medication bcz I can’t work or function without it. But my family Dr. is saying I will have to wait 2.5 more weeks before I can get back on my meds. I can’t help they I had a bad reaction to that medication but that should not keep me from getting back on the meds that work so that I can feel normal.

I hope you're keeping well. I understand that you have been diagnosed with adhd and are currently taking ritalin, but it's not giving you the desired results.
There are indeed other amphetamine-based medications available in india, such as adderall, but I would advise caution when considering such alternatives. While they can indeed be effective for some individuals, they also come with their own set of side effects, and their misuse can lead to serious health complications.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user
sorry to note your kid's condition. But you obviously try good authentic homeopathy treatment which can cover physical and mental developments. But behavioral therapy should go alongside. It may take time, but we should give utmost attempt to make the kid self dependent in future.

Asked for male, 19 years old from Akola

Hello sir, i'm manisha. My brother's name is prathamesh. He is doing his graduation. From the past few months he has been sitting in one room for a long time. Not spending time with family and friends. He broke up with his girl who cheated on him and he is like now nothing remains in his life. Same thing we have to say to him again and again still he is not understanding. Sometimes crying alone. His friends told us his behavior also does not look normal. He behaves like he is in deep thinking. Me and my family just want to make sure he is just his nonsense/laziness or really he needs treatment.

Hi, I can understand your concern for your brother. He must be going through the break up depression. De does need to be handled by professional psychologist and if needed for medical treatment. Many times counseling itself helps though it takes a little long. Family support is the most important key factor.

Asked for male, 19 years old from Allahabad

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.
