He takes Vyvanse during the day. That dose should have run out. But what about taking Vyvanse and Trazadone at the same time? Anyone know of interactions between the two drugs if taken at the same time?

I’ve always considered myself one of the "self diagnosed" adhd sufferers. Recently at work I had severe troubles memorizing details. Out of desperation I tried self medicating with 25 mg Dhea, as well as ginkgo and ginseng suppliments. I hope my results aren’t a placebo effect. has anyone else had success with these supplements.
I can’t speak to your specific question, but I have always wondered whether ADHD is possibly related to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Ginkgo and ginseng have stimulant effects, that may be encouraging the body to release sugar from the liver.
If you try a diet that is formulated for diabetics, and in 2 weeks you notice a lessening of the memory problems, then blood sugar may be involved somehow.
At my worst, before being diagnosed with chronic low blood sugar, I could not remember a 5 digit number for the time it takes to walk 3 yards.
Feel free to e-mail me if you wish, for more advice.
if you dont know why dont you awnser?
Symptoms
The symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may include:
Inattention, which is having a short attention span and being easily distracted.
Impulsivity, which can cause a person to do dangerous or unwise things without thinking about the consequences.
Hyperactivity, which is inappropriate or excessive activity.
These symptoms affect people in all age groups who have ADHD. But typical behavior varies by age.
In preschool-age children, symptoms may be hard to identify. Normal behavior in young children periodically includes all of the major symptoms. ADHD is distinguished from normal behavior by the severity and consistency of symptoms.
Children between the ages of 6 and 12 usually show more obvious signs of ADHD than other age groups. School expectations can make symptoms more noticeable. For some children, school is the first setting where academic performance and socialization abilities are assessed. But it often is more difficult to detect ADHD when inattention is the primary symptom and the child is otherwise well-behaved. The presence of ADHD may be indicated by:
Low grades or test scores, including achievement tests.
Poor organization and study skills.
Socialization problems and feeling rejected by peers.
Dislike of school and frustration with school work.
Teens between the ages of 13 and 18 may be in better control of disruptive behavior related to hyperactivity. Other problems that began in earlier years may continue or become worse when ADHD is not treated. Teens with inattention problems who previously managed to cope may start to fall behind in schoolwork. This is especially true when major changes occur, such as starting at a new school or going to college.
Symptoms of ADHD in adults may not be as noticeable. Many adults with ADHD have not been diagnosed and treated. They can develop problems such as depression and difficulty maintaining a job.
There are several other conditions with symptoms similar to ADHD. For example, sometimes bipolar disorder and ADHD can be confused. It can be difficult to determine whether symptoms are caused by ADHD, another condition, or both.
The great scandal is one being upheld by our own GMC in insisting that all adrenal and thyroid failure are measured on a scale now known to be outdated and too insensitive being that it caters only for normal on a scale between 10 and 24 and severe for anything that surpasses ‘normal’. Therefore there is no room for mild or moderate cases even though they are severely debilitating. The symptoms I discovered during my own foray into that illness led me to re diagnose my consdition from Adrenal deficient to ADD sufferer ew
when I was told my own score was normal. It was only later when i correctly diagnosed my coleague with the same illness that I was able to tally our scores on that sscale both were at 12.5. My friend received treatment because she had been on thyroid medication for some time following an operation to remove half the thyroid gland, I was never given that treatment because GP’s are not allowed to treat someone unless they score as severe on the scale.Autism is same
Haven’t researched Autism in several years really, will start up again and see what I can find. I did find it went up 40% fourteen years ago. I think something new was introduced in the market at that time, new food or something put in the food I just haven’t found what.
ADHD is attention deficiency and hyper active syndrome.
They are two different things.
Mental Retardation is based on intelligence level and there may be deficits in communication and physcial coordination. There is no medication that can treat mental retardation. People with mental retardation don’t necessarily have attention deficits or hyperactivity.
ADHD is based on how someone can sustain attention and may include hyperactive or impulsive behavior. Someone could have ADHD and be highly intelligent.
Some people have both Mental Retardation and ADHD.
because the adhd medication can cause mania.
and a manic upswing causes and inevitable depressive down swing.
i’m adhd and bipolar and have to be careful.
Looking for experience/info regarding your child being treated naturally with suppliments and diet. Is the change enough for them to progress in school/with tasks, etc.? We are looking into treatment for our son. We have not done any extreme changes to diet but son eats fairly balanced foods with the occasional sweet/ processed food. Please share what you have done and if it has honestly helped.
First, I’ll say that any "natural" treatment for ADHD is usually not supported by allopathic medicine because there is no proof that any of them are effective. With that being said, a lot of people claim that eliminating sugar from the diet reduces symptoms. This dietary modification certainly can’t do any harm, so it might be worth a try. Maybe just eliminate the occasional sweets you were talking about and see if that helps. Others blame gluten and casein and put their kids on the respective dietary restrictions. Again, there is no proof that any of these diets work, but it doesn’t hurt to try for a short period of time. Keep in mind that if you put your child on a special diet, there is a greater risk that he or she will become malnourished. Having said all of this, I still say that you should discuss this issue with your child’s pediatrician.
Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, John F. Kennedy-seems they had this condition and were successful; how do you tailor your thoughts and behavior to deal with ADHD?
Get a job that gives you the freedom to do things your way at your own pace. Something like a craftsman or artist or writer or your own business doing something you love.
What are their symptoms?
What is their treatment?
I am 18 years old and since I was really little doctors, teachers, parents of my friends have all said they thought I had ADD.
I know I don’t have ADHD because I am not hyper.
Although, I can’t focus on anything to save my life. Thoughts run through my head at a million miles an hour and even when thinking to myself I bounce from one thing to another.
I am easily distracted.
I lose my train of thought easily.
When someone is talking to me, my mind wanders and I end up not hearing a word they say, especially if the topic doesn’t interest me.
I can’t focus in class, I find myself daydreaming.
Its not like I do any of this on purpose, like the not hearing what people say, I try to stay focused but it doesn’t work.
I think I need to try something but I don’t know what.

No hun, you are not adhd, you are a teen, or preteen. You are figuring out what you like, don’t like, are good at, have a knack for, and where your interests lie. Enjoy this time, you will soon be at an age where you do not have this luxury.
