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

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.

I am sorry to hear about your concern, but I will be happy to assist you.
As a framework for understanding these vulnerabilities, it’s helpful to know that screen time—particularly the interactive kind—acts like a stimulant, not unlike caffeine, amphetamines, or cocaine. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

बच्चों और वयस्कों में ध्यान घाटे अतिसक्रिय विकार (adhd) के लक्षणों के उपचार के लिए inspiral 10 mg tablet का प्रयोग किया जाता है। यह ध्यान केंद्रित करने और आवेगी और अतिसक्रिय व्यवहार को कम कर सकता है। इसका उपयोग नार्कोलेप्सी नामक नींद विकार के इलाज के लिए भी किया जा सकता है। इस दवा में उच्च दुरुपयोग की क्षमता है और इसलिए, उपचार उपचार कार्यक्रम का एक हिस्सा होना चाहिए जिसमें परामर्श और समर्थन भी शामिल है

Nicotine in any form has serious I'll effects on your blood vessels, heart, brain etc. Any form of Nicotine for medical reason is not advised. Continue your Methylphenidate which keeps you on right track.
