Guest guest Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 Hi, s Dr. just changed him from ritalin to Metadate CD 20mg. 2x's a day. I am still giving him the 2 proefa and 1 proepa with this. Is this to much? Should I stop the proefa/epa? I loved the product but derek needed more for his add causing severe stress and anxiety bad enough to put ulcers in his stomach. But I love the way his language developed on the proefa/proepa. Has anyone ever heard of this new medication? Good or Bad? I am scared of it because I have never heard of it. God how I wish he didn't need anything like that but his anxiety is way to bad. He is not hyper at all. Please let me now any info. anyone has on the meds. and let me know if the pro??? are just to much stimulation along with the meds. for the brain. Thank you, Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 Hi Pam: Ritalin or Metadate has nothing to do with ProEFA. One of the side effects of Ritalin & Metadate is Anxiety---- so he should not be on them if his primary problem is anxiety- I would check with your Dr for exactly what reason he prescribed them for your son. >>Metadate® CD Capsules are contraindicated in patients with marked anxiety, tension, and/or agitation since the drug may aggravate these symptoms. << [ ] proefa/metadate cd Hi, s Dr. just changed him from ritalin to Metadate CD 20mg. 2x's a day.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 Also: Metadate is time release- and many children with apraxia do not do well on time- release meds of any sort.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 Pam, I thought Metadate was just the long acting ritalin, so you only have to give it to him once in the morning.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 So, do would kids with apraxia also have problems with time release vitamins and what is causing the problem? thanks, Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Hi Carolyn: Some kids have absorption problems and/or leaky gut/ too much zinc , too much copper/ too little copper- etc etc., so some cannot process the time release meds properly. Most ADHD kids that do not process the medication properly proportionally " burn " the amount of medicine with the amount of stress they are under...
