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.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
An adhd child needs to focus more on cultivating their creativity as it will help develop interests that will find them jobs such as drawing, painting, architecture, play or songwriting, cooking, sports, video gaming, and performing on stage.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

My son is 4 years & 4 months old. He was diagnosed with mild autism when he was 4 years old. He is not much verbal, he points out to give if he wants anything. He can sing rhymes, tell a to z & numbers from 1 to 20. He speaks few words but cannot say if he is hungry & he is not potty trained as well. He cannot follow or understand any instruction given. He is very stubborn & keeps on crying till his demands are fulfilled. There is no regular sleep pattern, stays awake at night almost & sleeps at daytime. We are not giving any occupational therapy as of now. We started giving him ayurvedic medicine since 3 months. There is no much difference seen in his behaviour. Can you tell how long it will take for medicine to work. Is there any medicine to add on. Kindly suggest. Medicine given are as below 1. kerala ayurveda saraswathi granules twice daily 2.charak cognium syrup twice daily 3. Kerala ayurveda balakalpam once daily.

Dear Lybrate user
please visit a child development center nearby your place, as it is recommended to start with occupational and speech therapy with the child. Autism spectrum disorder (asd) is a neurodevelopmental disorder which impacts the child speech, language and communication areas. As you have mentioned that the child is not able to understand the instructions and is very stubborn, there can be a possibility that due to speech and language deficit he may not be able to communicate his...more

If the speech is different from others, then may be there is an additional problem other than adhd. It will require speech therapy if it is causing worry. Answering only his family members and no one else is also not explained by the diagnosis of adhd, so you will need to visit a paediatric neurologist to see what is causing that. Not paying attention and not being able to concentrate on his work are symptoms of his condition of adhd. They will be part of his behaviour always. The therapist may ...more

By asd you mean atrial septal defect right? All asd don't require surgery. 25% of living adult have asds. The matter is does he have any symptoms of cynosis (bluing of extremities) or any other allied symptoms? Surgery and modern medicines are the only cure of this. I would not recommend you going the ayurveda route since the results are very wage.

I feel ---you have to first have an ent check up for hearing function. Then have a check up with all clinical investigations-- by a psychiatrist/psychologist team--then only come to a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

You must have contacted specialist. You may send his reports to assess. Moreover I may say children with asd can recover with our autism treatment techniques. Autism spectrum disorder often display repetitive and stereotyped interests or patterns of behavior. Children suffering from autism have trouble communicating. Besides autism treatment you may go for ayurvedic suvarn praashann. We have very good suvaranprashan having nice herbs. This may be given 0 to 16 years at specified intervals. It is...more
