Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Hi , I know a little about these medications for various reasons. To my knowledge, there is no reason that they can't be used together or at least some form of an antidepressent. In fact, they are often needed together. I used to do parent support groups for parents of ADHD kids . Sorry I can't say defintively. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 This doesn't really have anything to do with EDS but - Does anyone have, or have a child with ADD? Or how about obsessive compulsive disorder with generalized anxiety disorder? I have some seious medication questions about Adderoll when taken with celexa. I thought I'd ask here befor I go looking for a support site for ADD, since I sort of know you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 My seven year old has ADD. He does not have the hyperactivity, just the inability to focus. He is on Strattera for it. It is one of the few medications that do not have the stimulants in it. He does have symptoms of EDS.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Hum...... The dr let us choose between adderoll and strattera. He said the strattera had more side effects, which is why my daughter wanted to try the adderall. She's not hyperactive. I thought the adderoll was for Add without the hyperactivity, but now I'm learning it's not - as it has the stimulant in it. She doesn't need the stimulant, especially because of her anxiety disorder. Did your son get any side effects from the strattera? If so, how long did they last? I am thinking I should take her off everything and try some alternative therapies. But, the OCD is pretty bad if she isn't on the celexa, so I don't want her going back to feeling she has to perform all those rituals that take up so much of her time, and add to her anxiety. So, I'll do some research on the strattera. does have EDS symptoms. Me, her, and her sister are seeing the geneticists next month.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Hi Mike, Just talked with Cindy when she was out getting cigs. Sounds like Dylan needs a rest. I'm so glad to hear Cindy is getting it so fast. I knew she would. We checked the drug interaction. Couldn't find anything - except something on one site about serotonin syndrome - which is very seious. It didn't mention celexa exactly. And, her symptoms aren't as serious as those listed for this. I just found out that the other drug we could have chosen is the one that doesn't have the stimulant. I'm just so confused and concerned. says she thinks it is helping her concentrate, and wants to keep taking it. But, We are worried. I just joined a web site support group for ADD, and asked all about it. Waiting for some answers. Anyway, don't you worry about us. You are busy now. I hope Dylan wont' give up on things. I'm sure he's beat. Cindy too. A lot of stuff to learn and deal with. I'm sure Dylan feels like he's been hit by a truck. Cindy said he was on the table for 10 hours! maybe a break, and a shorter session will make him feel better. Ihope. Hugs, Mon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 I talked with the pharmacist. He said the opposite of the dr which was that in his customers, there are fewer people who complain of side effects with the sratterra. He told me even his daughter couldn't take the adderoll, but is fine on the stratterra. So, for now, we are taking her off the aderroll. When things calm down a bit, we may try the stratterra. In the mean time, I was reading some stuff about bio-feedback. There was also something about gold colloids. And of course nutrition, behavior management, etc. Anyone heard or tried of either of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 I have , but I've but it got negative reviews from a Special Ed. teacher who is a friend of mine and deals with OCD kids everyday. The OCD, as you said is very time consuming for your daughter and will tend to feed the anxiety. For that reason, I'd want to get her on the Stratterra asap.so there isn,t loss of confidence for her. Then, I'd want to ask her what she thinks and which one she feels better on. Just my opinion, for what it's worth. Robin " @ Home " wrote: I talked with the pharmacist.
