Suggest Treatment For ADHD And Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
I have a 16 year old who is small for her age and is ADHD and OCD. she talks fast and loud. Is there a medicine that she could take that would reduce these symptoms? She has previously taken Strattera, Concerta, Adderall XR, and adderal 10 mgs twice per day. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated
I went through your details. I can understand your emotions. You said "She has previously taken Strattera, Concerta, Adderall XR, and adderal 10 mgs twice per day". Does that mean she is not under any treatment now? In that case, you are doing something very wrong. ADD and OCD are mental disorders which needs pharmacotherapy continuously. Psychiatrist is the person who should diagnose and prescribe the medicines for her. Secondly you should consult a psychologist for psychotherapy techniques and life style changes and meditation / breathing exercises. Do not ignore this warning. Take care.

Suggest Treatment For ADHD And Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Hi. I had gone through your query. OCD and ADHD both require extensive treatment with biological medicines. Medicines that have you mentioned in query are appropriate to disorder. Proper dose and regular assessment are advisable to observe improvement. Medicines will take time to act and treatment will be a long. Fluoxamine and methylphenidate are alternative options for treatment. But it can be taken after proper detail assessment and evaluation. Medicines compliance is must. Behaviour modification and parenting or parental councelling can help. Thank you.
