This feels quite biased. You barely covered the potential benefits at all. This is an important consideration when balancing risks. I also think the risks are overinflated, based on metanalyses that have been done on this topic. The really serious effects are rare. Important to note - but rare. The serious impacts of untreated ADHD are important to note, and it isn't here. For me personally, I really failed over many years to shift things my behaviour and skills approaches alone. I couldn't stick to anything and just felt like a failure as a person. The medication seems to have helped me make better use of and be able to implement the behavioural resources.
I do worry a lot about the risks, but at this point, things seem to be going much better for me.
Glad you found a medication that is helpful for you.
Hello Dr. What you can do if you have ADHD and develop TOC just after swallow a pill of Ritalin?? Or after few days of taking small dose of Ritalin?? Obsession with intrusive thoughts that consuming hours of your days!!! Please Dr. I went to many Dr. Already but you seems like to know more about this than them.
I am sorry you are experiencing this. This may have a been due to overload of dopaine in the prefrontal cortex or even the basal ganglia. If it does not go away with time, then see a therapist to work on CBT for OCD and other techniques to help decrease the impact of those intrusive thoughts.
Thanks for all of your wonderful videos. How can one who used to take methylphenidate for a long time then stopped it abruptly because of shortage of the medicine in his /her country? Are there meds that could alleviate craving and withdrawal symptoms?
yes, you can talk to your doctor about taking Modafanil which is another type of NDRI stimulant.
@@LevelheadedMind Thanks you so much. The problem is that Modafinil is not available in our whole region, not just my country 🥲
Thank you so incredibly much. My question is can magnesium glycinate be taken with an antidepressant and also blood pressure medicine. I took some magnesium glycinate last night and it really relaxed me.
Hi there and thank you for watching! Yes, Magnesium can be taken with antidepressants and most blood pressure medications. You will need to be careful with Calcium channel blockers and Magnesium. Also, since Magnesium can also lower blood pressure it is possible that your BP medication dose may be reduced. So definitely discuss this with your doctor. I am glad to hear that it helped you though as it is very effective for anxiety.
Are there any interactions between Methylphenidate and Third Generation Antipsychotics like Aripiprazole?
Hi (glad I found you) can you do the mixture of venlafaxine, Ritalin and pregabalin. I been put on all 3 🤨 thank you
Yeah progabolin is a good drug. Calms the central nervous system but different to diazapam etc. Ritalin I always loved the massive libido boost but the problem is atm my wife is away for three weeks. Off the scale, pure desire.
Sorry if sounded off the wall! Didn't know what to do. Bit better now
Every one that takes it! Will effect different
After getting covid-19 my ADHD and Narcolepsy has gotten much worse. Many may have this problem and don't know it. None of my doctors figured this out in over 40 years. No one test for ADHD and Narcolepsy unless you ask for it.
Many behavioral health clinics do this for free!
