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.

Hi lybrate-user,
while going through this verbatim, it appears that your condition of ocd and depression is not yet remitted completely and that is probably due to undertreatment. The treatment you are getting still need to be optimized and dose of fluvoxamine should be increased to 300 mg per day. Clonazepam need to be tapered off and stopped gradually. If needed a medicine from tca class can be added as an augmentation strategy or as an add on.

Doses need to be titrated as all of the anti OCD medications are also antidepressants. Apart from that you need exercise regularly so that your body also naturally tries to cope with depression by releasing endorphins during exercise. Endorphins are natural antidepressants and make mood better. Avoid caffeinated drinks as they will worsen anxiety and depression. Do some breathing exercises and relaxation techniques.

Dear lybrate-user,
1) no medicine is safe on any organ. They can not cause permanent brain damage. No doctor will prescribe a drug that causes permanent brain damage.
2) unless I know the side effects, I can not say how long they will last.
3) they are safe if taken together. They all work together to give you more benefit.
They are all in very low dose now. After 2-3 weeks, follow up with the psychiatrist. Ocd needs much larger dose of clonil and cyclotin.

Dear lybrate-user,
daxid does not affect the eye pressure. Have faith in your doctors. Ocd affects the quality of your life. It is your choice to live with ocd or continue to take daxid.
