People with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be at higher risk for developing Parkinson’s disease and Parkinson’s-like syndromes, according to researchers at the University of Utah Health in Salt Lake City. Their study results were published in Neuropsychopharmacology.
The researchers analyzed 20 years of data from the Utah Population Database, which contains medical information for more than 11 million people. The study involved 31,769 people with ADHD — 4,960 of whom were prescribed medications, stimulants like Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Metadate, Methylin (methylphenidate), Adderall (amphetamine salts), or Focalin (dexmethylphenidate) — and 158,790 controls without ADHD.
According to the researchers, people diagnosed with ADHD are more than twice as likely as those without the neurobehavioral disorder to develop early-onset Parkinson’s (between ages 21 and 66) and Parkinson-like conditions. For this group, Parkinson’s risk is six to eight times higher in people prescribed ADHD medications.
Strattera for ADHD: Pros and Cons
If you take medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), chances are you use a stimulant medication such as Adderall, Ritalin, or Concerta. These types of medication are effective in reducing impulsivity and inattention. However, for many people, they are not an option. Side effects, such as insomnia, loss of appetite, and irritability stop them from using stimulants. Other problems are the increased risk of cardiovascular problems or interference with other medical conditions or medication.
Strattera (atomoxetine) is a non-stimulant medication approved by the FDA to treat ADHD symptoms in children, adolescents, and adults. For some, this medication has proven to be effective. Others find it is not effective at all. Just as with stimulants, Strattera also has side effects that prevent some from taking it. As with all medications, you will need to weigh the pros and cons of the medication and discuss all your treatment options with your doctor.
The Benefits of Strattera
Stimulant medications are Schedule II medications, or controlled substances, meaning that the federal government regulates how the drug is made, prescribed, and dispensed. Your doctor must write a prescription every month and you must present the written prescription to the pharmacy. Your doctor cannot call in the medication, making it inconvenient for many. Since Strattera is not a controlled sbustance, you can receive a prescription for longer than 30 days and your doctor is able to call the pharmacy to fill or refill your prescription, saving you a trip to your doctor’s office each month.
Strattera is not considered to be addictive and does not have “abuse potential.” Because the full effect of Strattera can take up to three to four weeks (which is later listed as a disadvantage) and it does not give a euphoric feeling, it is not used to get high. For adolescents and adults who are prone to substance abuse or addiction, this medication might be a better alternative than stimulant medications.
The medication, when taken as directed, provides 24-hour relief from symptoms of ADHD. That means, as a parent, your child will be able to complete homework in the evening and mornings might not turn into a daily power struggle because the medication is still working.
Strattera appears to have some antidepressant properties and can help those who have symptoms of depression as well as symptoms of ADHD. When taking stimulant medications, those with depressive symptoms may need to add a second medication. With Strattera that may not be needed.
This medication is often a better choice for those with Tourette’s syndrome and ADHD because Strattera does not increase or aggravate tics. It also causes some urinary retention, which in some people may cause a problem but for those children with nocturnal enuresis (bed wetting), Strattera can help. Although you shouldn’t use Strattera specifically for this reason, it may be an added benefit for children struggling with bed wetting.
Disadvantages
As with all medications, Strattera does have side effects. Your prescription comes with a warning about a potential for suicide when on this medication. The warning indicates that children and teens may have suicidal thoughts while taking this medication. Other side effects for children and teens include:
Stomach upset, nausea, vomiting
Loss of appetite
Dizziness
Daytime sleepiness
Mood swings
Increased heart rate and blood pressure
For adults, the most common side effects are:
Constipation
Dry mouth
Insomnia
Dizziness
Increased menstrual flow and cramps
Problems urinating or pain when urinating
Another disadvantage is that it takes three to four weeks of sustained used to reach full effectiveness. There may be a number of people that start this medication and give up before waiting a month to decide if it works. Some individuals with ADHD choose to take medication only as needed, when focus and attention are required for a period of time, and to not take it on days when concentration isn’t required. If this is best for you, Strattera isn’t an option. Stimulant medications would be best.
Some men have complained of sexual side effects from Strattera, including a decreased sex drive, impotence, decreased ejaculation amount, or the inability to ejaculate and painful erections.
If you are having any side effects, including sexual side effects, from Strattera, talk with your doctor. Sometimes adjusting the dosage can help alleviate the side effects. In some cases, your doctor might suggest lowering your dosage or trying a different medication.
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) impacts millions of people each winter. The farther someone lives from the equator, the greater the risk. Scientists are still learning about the causes behind SAD, and its connection to other conditions, in hopes of finding better treatments. For example, people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)) are three times more likely to have symptoms of SAD than people without ADHD, according to a 2016 study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research.
What is seasonal affective disorder (SAD)?
SAD is a type of depression that cycles with the seasons, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). People with SAD have symptoms that may include:
Feeling lethargic or having low energy
Sleeping more than normal
Overeating, especially carbohydrates
Weight gain
Withdrawing from social activities
These symptoms usually occur during the winter months, but some people do experience SAD during the summer months. The exact causes of SAD are not known, however some proposed causes include serotonin dysregulation in the brain, overproduction of melatonin, and low vitamin D levels. It is the serotonin dysregulation that might explain the association between ADHD and SAD, according to a 2006 paper published in the American Family Physician, because both disorders are characterized by an under arousal of certain brain regions and a heightened sensitivity to the physical environment.
What you can do
There are currently a few different treatments available for SAD. Light therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and medication all reduce symptoms. But, there haven’t been any large-scale studies to show which of these treatments is best, according to the 2006 paper published in the American Family Physician. If you experience symptoms of SAD, it is important to talk with your doctor about the different treatments to determine which one is right for you.
Light therapy — Light therapy, the most common treatment for SAD, is found to work best when it is administered in the morning, according to the 2006 paper published in the American Family Physician. Light therapy involves sitting under a bright light for 20-60 minutes per day to help make up for lost sunlight, according to the NIH. Lightboxes for SAD therapy use 10,000 lux of cool, white fluorescent light and filter out the UV rays.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) — CBT is a type of psychotherapy based on the idea that how we think (cognition), how we feel (emotion) and how we act (behavior) all interlink. To this end it works to change negative thought patterns into realistic and helpful thought patterns and behaviors. For example, CBT would coach someone to change unhelpful thoughts about staying indoors extensively into thoughts about ways to find pleasurable activities to do outdoors. According to the American Family Physician 2006 paper, a small study of 26 participants found CBT to be equally as effective as light therapy in treating SAD. There have not yet been large or long-term studies to determine the effectiveness of this treatment.
Medication — Some medications that are used to treat depression can also be used to treat SAD, according to the American Family Physician 2006 paper. For example, some studies have found that sertraline (Zoloft) and fluoxetine (Prozac) are helpful in treating people with SAD.
ADD and ADHD are distinct conditions, though they share many of the same symptoms. Their differences do not make one better or worse than the other, but gaining a proper understanding of each condition will arm you with the information you need to create the best treatment regimen possible.
You have ADD: You have trouble at company meetings, you find yourself constantly daydreaming and being snapped back to paying attention when someone says your name. You consistently lose your keys, forget appointments, and are one of the most disorganized people in the office.
Your co-worker, on the other hand, has ADHD. He is constantly moving, constantly talking, and never seems to complete anything, moving from one project to the next. He always looks busy, but he says he never feels like he has accomplished anything. Even though you are so different, you both have the same disorder. It is baffling to think that you both take the same medication and it helps decrease his symptoms of hyperactivity while providing you with more motivation.
ADD is commonly used to refer to Attention Deficit Disorder without hyperactivity and ADHD is often used to describe Attention Deficit Disorder with hyperactivity. Both are considered to be a type of the same condition. There are some major differences between ADD and ADHD:
ADD without hyperactivity (ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Type), includes symptoms such as inability to sustain attention, making careless mistakes, avoiding tasks that require sustained mental effort, and becoming easily distracted.
ADHD (ADHD, Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type), has symptoms such as fidgeting, being constantly in motion, restlessness, talking excessively, blurting out answers, and interrupting others.
In addition to the above symptoms, there are a number of characteristics that are often shared by both ADD and ADHD:
Forgetfulness
Difficulty in school
Lack of organizational skills
Regularly losing items
Poor social skills
Low self-esteem
Relationship problems
Behavioral problems are more often associated with ADHD, while ADD has a high incidence of co-existing emotional conditions such as depression and anxiety. ADHD is normally diagnosed at an earlier age, as hyperactivity is much more recognizable. Problems associated with ADD may be misunderstood and mislabeled as extreme shyness and therefore not diagnosed until later, sometimes in middle school or high school or not until adulthood.
Relationship issues also seem to occur in both ADHD and ADD. The high energy level of ADHD can allow an individual to attract many people, although they may have more of a problem developing a close emotional bond. People with ADD, on the other hand, have a harder time making friends with others because of their quiet manner, but once they do, they are more easily able to create deep friendships.
At one time, it was thought that ADHD was a boy’s disorder and ADD was the girl’s disorder. This is now known not to be true. There are boys suffering from symptoms of ADD and girls that are hyperactive.
Overall, there are distinctive characteristics and symptoms for ADHD and ADD. There are also similarities. One is not worse or better than the other. There is simply a difference in behavior patterns. Treatment, when properly done, will not differentiate between ADD and ADHD, but will target the specific areas of difficulty in a person’s life and work to improve their lives.
Every day is filled with decisions. What to have for breakfast? What to wear today? Should I do my math homework first, or should I read first? Then there are the big decisions. Should I take this new job? Should I buy a house or rent one? Which college should I attend? For those with ADHD, indecisiveness is often a real problem. The inability to make a decision can leave them paralyzed. They might do nothing because they don’t have a clear idea of which path to follow.
The inability to make a decision might stem from executive functioning impairments. In an article on CHADD.org, Russell Barkley and Tom Brown, who have both done extensive research on ADHD, explain executive functioning differently, but both agree that it includes prioritizing, planning, organization, and self-regulation skills. The article also notes that deficits in executive functions and ADHD symptoms are commonly considered to be interrelated. Decision-making requires the ability to prioritize, plan, and self-monitor yourself to determine whether the process is working or should be revised.
Other symptoms of ADHD can also contribute to indecisiveness:
People with ADHD often have a problem starting tasks.
Some people with ADHD avoid complex problems or tasks that are unpleasant or uninteresting because of attentional difficulties.
There might also be the fear of making a wrong decision. Past failures might hold you back from moving forward. You might be afraid of making the wrong choice or worry that you will be judged. Sometimes, however, not making a choice means you give up your power. It allows someone else to make the decision for you.
The following are tips to help you become more decisive:
Categorize your decisions. When faced with a decision, decide if it is a small, medium, or large decision. Small decisions usually don’t have large consequences, and these are ones you should be able to make quickly, without too much analysis. Deciding what type of decision it is gives you an idea of how much thought and worry you should put into making it. You can ask yourself, “Will this matter in five minutes, five days, five months, or five years from now?” The answer might help you decide the category in which to put your decision.
Give yourself a time limit for making decisions. This becomes easier if you categorize them as in the previous tip. For small decisions, limit yourself to a few minutes and add to the time for larger decisions. Set a timer or put the deadline on your calendar. If you haven’t made a decision in that time, it might be helpful to talk it over with someone.
Think about what scares you about making decisions. Is it concern that you will make the wrong decision? If so, consider what will happen. Will it be consequential or a small inconvenience? Use this information to help you decide if a decision can be made quickly. Are you concerned about whether others will judge you? Consider whether their opinion is important in your life; if so, talk to them about the decision. If not, go ahead and make it. If you overcome your fear, your decision will be easier.
Give yourself credit for the decisions you do make. If you are always telling yourself, “I am not a good decision-maker,” think about the hundreds of decisions you successfully make each week: What should I wear? What route should I take to work? What movie should I see? Where should I go for lunch? Pat yourself on the back for making decisions every day and rephrase your thought to: “I make decisions all the time. I can make decisions.”
Get treated for ADHD. For some people with ADHD, treatment, including medication, helps ease the decision-making process. When ADHD symptoms are better managed and you aren’t quite so distracted or overwhelmed, decisions are easier.
Gather information. Before assessing your options, gather all pertinent information. Keep in mind that you can’t make a decision until you have all the information.
Make a pro-and-con chart. Look at what the potential benefits and costs of each decision are. Not every decision is going to offer the perfect choice, but you can look at which option has the best outcome.
Trust your instinct. If you keep coming back to one answer, or if one choice jumps out at you as the best choice, trust that it is the right choice to make, at least for now.
Remember that most choices are reversible. If you decide to take a job and it turns out not to be a good fit, you can look for another one. If you choose to move to an apartment and don’t like the noise from outside, you can find another one and not renew the lease. Most decisions can be adjusted, modified, or reversed.
When I was a kid, every once in a while I would hear my dad swear as he hit his head on a cabinet door I had left open. It was a really bad habit of mine. I would open cabinets doors and never, I mean never, remember to close them. Actually, nothing’s changed. I still forget to close them. But my exhusband and current husband both learned to either close the doors themselves or duck. That’s the kind of thing you laugh about, once you’re finished swearing, I guess, as long as no one gets a concussion. But it’s symptomatic of how bad I am at finishing things.
For instance, there are my craft projects. I sew, knit and make jewelry. I love all three crafts and often consider cheating on them with other crafts like quilting or embroidery. But then I think of all the projects that I’ve started and then put down and tell myself that the last thing I need is the materials for yet another craft cluttering up our house.
Yes, I know, a lot of people have unfinished craft projects hidden away in closets. But I have a full yarn closet (it’s not a full-sized closet, but a shallow one with shelves). And then in my clothes closet I have more yarn and the abandoned knitting projects. About 15 of them. Then I have a trunk full of fabric that I bought and am planning to sew into all sorts of things, along with several plastic bins of patterns. In the garage I have another large plastic bin of fabric (we had to put it there since we were being squeezed out of our bedroom by craft materials). In the dining room I have a couple of plastic bins and one Trader Joe’s shopping bag full of my jewelry making materials.
“The shiny new object” syndrome
A big part of the problem is that ADHD trait that I call “Oooh, shiny.” I have a magnet on my fridge that my parents gave me. It says, “They say I have ADD, but they don’t understand. Oh look A chicken!” That’s about the size of it. Distractability is a big problem for me. So I see a project I absolutely love, buy the materials and get started. When does the boredom set in? Of course, it’s different for each project, but I find that if it’s too easy or too hard, I become very susceptible to a new knitting or sewing pattern. Maybe it’s my short attention span. I’m not sure that’s the same as being easily distracted, although in all probability they’re closely related, at the very least.
What a little understanding of ADHD does
Once I was diagnosed with ADHD, I didn’t start feeling better about these unfinished projects, per se. I didn’t feel that ADHD absolved me of the need to address the problem and actually finish something once in a while. However, I did understand myself a little better, and that understanding did alleviate some of the “I’m a total loser; I can’t finish anything” feeling that would start to creep over me once in a while. I’m definitely not using ADHD a way to avoid addressing the issue. In fact, I think I’m a little better at addressing it. I know what I’m fighting against.
Scheduling: A tool for distraction
And I actually have started fighting it at work, because my tendency to forget about essential tasks was getting to be a problem. I schedule events into classrooms at a university. Basically, I schedule anything that isn’t an academic class into the rooms. In the beginning of each semester, the events that I book can get bumped out of a room by an academic class. When this happens, I need to try to put the event into another room, and notify the requestor that their room has changed. Sometimes I can’t find a replacement room, so I need to notify them that so they can make alternative arrangements.
Obviously, this should be a pretty high priority. But I used to let myself get distracted by other tasks, and it could take days or even weeks for me to take care of this task.
The importance of deadlines
This was bad, very bad. A few times it screwed people up because they didn’t get enough notice as to their new location, or complete lack of a location. I realized that I had to change how I was handling these bumps. So I made a rule for myself that all bumps had to be completed by the end of the first day I received them. It seemed to help a lot to set a specific deadline instead of just telling myself that it was high priority. Now, I still have tasks at work that fall through the cracks, but none of them are as crucial as that particular one.
And you know what I just realized? I’ve even started closing cabinet doors more often. It took about forty years, but better late than never!
You know the dangers. You know smoking cigarettes greatly increases your risk of lung cancer, heart disease and other health problems. But you can’t seem to quit. If you have ADHD your chances of smoking are increased. Numerous studies have shown that the rates for smoking are around twice as high for adults with ADHD than for their non-ADHD counterparts.
There are a number of theories as to why the rate of cigarette smoking is so high in those with ADHD:
It’s in Your Genes
Your genetics might play a role (however this isn’t an excuse to continue smoking). Scientists have discovered that some of the genes responsible for ADHD are also associated with smoking. These genes might put you at a higher risk for using tobacco. Although researchers don’t fully understand the relationship between these genes, the symptoms of ADHD might interfere with genes to increase your smoking risk.
Smoking tends to run in families. If your parents smoked, there is a higher chance that you will too. And since ADHD also runs in families, there is a high chance that at least one of your parents has ADHD, even if never diagnosed. That means they are also at increased risk for smoking. Research has also shown that exposure to cigarette smoke in utero increases your chance of developing ADHD.
Self-Medicating
Nicotine is a stimulant. It works in much the same way as stimulant medications do. Studies have shown that nicotine can increase attention, memory and impulse control. For some people with ADHD, nicotine is an easily accessible way to reduce the symptoms of ADHD. Scientists believe this might be because the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine are low in those with ADHD. Nicotine increases these chemicals, therefore reducing the symptoms.
Trouble with Quitting
Besides having a higher rate of smoking, adults with ADHD seem to find quitting smoking more difficult. Although little research has been done in this area, one study of people who were lifetime smokers found that adults without ADHD were twice as likely to report being an “ex-smoker” as those with ADHD. The reasons for the increased rate of smoking are considered possible causes of the difficulty in quitting.
Stimulant Medications and Quitting Smoking
A 2012 study published in the Journal of Pediatrics showed promise that treating ADHD symptoms can help prevent smoking in teens. The study looked at teens with ADHD and found that those who were treated with stimulant medications had a lower rate of smoking than those who were not treated. Although this study shows promise, it doesn’t provide information on how to help those who do smoke stop.
ADHD: When Cabin Fever Strikes
For people with ADHD, cabin fever — that time when the weather keeps you indoors for extended periods — can be torture. You feel restless and fidgety. You are bored and antsy. You become irritable and find it difficult to cope. If this sounds like you, here are some strategies to help manage cabin fever.
Go outside, anyway. It’s cold, snowy, rainy, or just plain dreary and you don’t want to go outside. Go anyway. Bundle up, grab the umbrella or a pair of gloves and a scarf and go for a walk for 15 minutes. Being outside in the fresh air, no matter what the weather, is probably going to make you feel better.
Talk to your doctor about vitamin D supplements. Many people in cold weather areas have low levels of vitamin D during the winter months. A vitamin D deficiency can cause tiredness and general aches and pains, according to the Vitamin D Council. Your doctor can check your vitamin D levels and recommend supplements if necessary.
Set aside time for family. With all the electronics around, it’s easy for everyone in a family to retreat to their corner and spend time online. Use being stuck in the house as an opportunity for family time. Set aside one or two hours a day to put away the electronics and spend time together.
Get up and do something. Sitting is only going to add to your feelings of restlessness. Get up and move, vacuum the house, walk up and down the stairs, clean out a closet, go to the mall and walk around. Moving your body will help decrease the antsy feeling.
Avoid taking naps. It might be tempting to sleep the day away or take a nap to pass the time, but in the long-term this rarely helps. You might end up not sleeping at night and being awake alone during the night can bring on a sense of loneliness.
Take up an indoor hobby. Consider a creative pursuit such as painting or drawing. People with ADHD are often creative and need this type of outlet to keep their minds active
Start a journal. Keep track of how you are feeling, write about your worries or, even better, start a “gratitude journal” that helps you focus on what is good in your life. Being grateful has been shown to improve happiness.
Create a cabin fever box. Before the cold, snowy weather strikes, fill a box with craft supplies, games, playing card, and other things to keep you and your family occupied. Save the box for days when you feel boxed in.
Learn something new. The restless feeling of cabin fever sometimes makes you feel that you need something new in your life. You might decide you want a new job or a new home. Instead of making a major change, try a smaller task — learn a new skill, take lessons for a new language, rearrange the furniture in your living room. Reduce your urge to make major changes because of temporary restlessness.
Reach out and help others. Look for places to volunteer, such as a food bank or shelter. Help your neighbors shovel their driveway. Reach out to elderly neighbors. When you focus on other people, your own problems fade into the background.
Talk to your doctor about seasonal affective disorder (SAD). If you just can’t seem to shake the depressive feeling, it might be SAD. People with ADHD have a high incidence rate of depression and might be more apt to develop SAD. Talk to your doctor about strategies to combat it.
A common stimulant medication used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) — methylphenidate (MPH) — probably does not cause heart damage, according to a long-term study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). For ethical reasons, this study involved primates (rhesus monkeys) rather than humans.
About 1.8 million children in the United States are treated for ADHD each year. Some of the stimulants used to treat the neurobehavioral disorder include a “black box warning” issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advising that they should be used with caution in children who have an underlying heart condition. Previous research has shown increased risk for sudden cardiac death and other heart damage in some children taking stimulants for ADHD.
The results of this latest study, published in Pediatric Research, can’t be automatically applied to humans, but the findings are very reassuring, according to the researchers involved. The 2-year-old monkeys were divided into three groups: one group receive normal doses of the stimulant, one received high doses, and one received a placebo for five years — a time-frame that corresponds to the period from childhood to adulthood in humans. The researchers found no statistical differences among the three groups on any measures of heart damage, including inflammatory biomarkers, electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, endomyocardial biopsies, and others.
ADHD and Stuttering
Is there a connecton between ADHD and stuttering? Some of you have asked about stuttering with relation to certain ADHD medications and some of you have asked if adults with ADHD can have a stuttering problem. The short answer to these questions is yes.
What is the correlation between ADHD and stuttering?
According to a 2007 Medical News Today article, “Many Kids with ADHD also Stutter,” as many as 26 percent of children diagnosed with ADHD also have a stuttering problem. Why? Here are some possible reasons why stuttering may be more of an issue for individuals who have ADHD:
Stuttering may be part of a larger issue of speech and language impairment. The Stuttering Foundation of America cites an estimate that as many as 45 percent of children with ADHD also have some form of speech and language impairment. Many of the children who have ADHD and speech and language challenges will have high rates of articulation disorders.
Many of the comorbid disorders associated with ADHD can have a significant effect upon one’s ability to organize and formulate thoughts and ideas. These comorbid disorders may include learning disabilities, anxiety disorders, and depression.
In a 2001 study reported in the Journal of Neurotherapy, researchers looked at the brain waves of stutterers and individuals having ADHD and found that there were great similarities. They found empirical evidence to suggest that there is an attentional component to stuttering. The researchers concluded that “there are strong similarities in the EEG, morphology, and behavior of stutterers and individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These similarities suggest that neurofeedback, which has proven successful in the treatment of ADHD, may hold promise as a viable adjunct treatment to traditional speech therapies for stuttering.”
Is there an association between ADHD medications and stuttering behavior?
There may be an association between some ADHD medications and stuttering, but the literature is mixed in its reviews of any correlation. In a 2007 Medical News Today article, the author states that recent research indicates that some of the ADHD medications may aggravate stuttering. This article says one ADHD medication which may be used which is not known to exacerbate stuttering is Strattera, which is a non-stimulant type of medication.
There was a 2009 case study published in Perspectives on Fluency and Fluency Disorders which described the effects of Stattera (a non-stimulant ADHD medication) versus Adderall XR (a stimulant medication) on an ADHD child’s stuttering behavior. They found that the stimulant medication increased the 10-year-old boy’s stuttering, tics, social anxiety and communication frustration. When he took Strattera they found a 51 percent reduction in his stuttering behavior.
On this Wikibooks Speech Language Pathology/Stuttering/Anti-Stuttering web site, medications such as Zyprexia and Risperdal are listed as medications that can decrease stuttering, but there is no conclusive evidence about which medications may cause stuttering. Clearly more research needs to be done on the topic of how certain medications affect stuttering behavior.
Are there any other reasons why a child having ADHD may stutter?
There is a comorbid condition of ADHD which can be associated with stuttering behavior called Tourette Syndrome. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke defines Tourette Syndrome as a “neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, stereotyped, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics.” It is estimated that as many as 60 percent of people with Tourette Syndrome also have ADHD.
It is reported that individuals with Tourette Syndrome can have a variety of speech problems, including stuttering, stammering, lisping, and rapid speech. It is estimated that up to 33 percent of patients with Tourette Syndrome may stutter.
The research is inconsistent as to whether ADHD stimulant medications can cause or exacerbate vocal tics or stuttering. Some parents do report an association. It may be important for parents to record any new behaviors such as stuttering, vocal tics, or speech problems after the initiation of any new ADHD medication.
What can be done to help a child who has ADHD and stutters?
If stuttering is a problem for your child, the first thing to do is to get a referral for a speech and language pathologist. If your child is enrolled in public school, this can be done through your school system. Or you may opt to hire a private speech and language therapist in addition to any school services.
The Stuttering Foundation of America gives some general guidelines for parents of children having ADHD and a stuttering problem:
Keep your instructions simple and have your child repeat them back to you before they respond.
Provide visual cues to help your child comprehend what you are saying.
Use positive reinforcement and frequent praise to reward behaviors you do wish to promote.
Model good speech practices of giving eye contact paired with appropriate speech volume and rate of speech.
Things not to do:
Don’t finish your child’s sentences.
Don’t rush your child to finish thoughts and sentences.
Don’t interrupt your child when they are talking.
Don’t frequently correct or criticize your child’s speech.
The easiest explanation to this question would be that Oxycodone will help a migraine as it is a very potent painkiller and it is very effective at relieving pain. However, this matter is much more complicated than this. First of all, Oxycodone is mainly used for treating severe pain. In the majority of cases, painkillers that are less powerful than Oxycodone will suffice just fine and there is no reason to introduce such a powerful drug when there are other options. Furthermore, Oxycodone is only capable of relieving the pain, while it will have no underlying effect on the causes of migraines.
There are now medications that have been specifically developed for treatment of migraines, factoring in the causes of migraines and these medications are usually a much better option for treating migraine headaches. However, there are situations in which the pains that are caused by migraine are unbearable and when strong medications are required. In such cases, Oxycodone may be administered to the patient, usually in the hospital as such severe migraines call for hospitalization of the patient.
It is not generally practiced by the doctors, prescribing Oxycodone for migraines, that is, as it is considered as too powerful of a medication with certain dangers behind it, one of them being that prolonged use of the medication, which may be required in patients who have migraines often, may cause dependency to the medication. This is considered too high of a risk when there are medications that will be able to relieve the pains caused by headaches without posing such a risk to the patient. In fact, the best way to make sure that you can and that you should take Oxycodone for your migraines would be to ask your physician.
They are acquainted with your medical history and they know about more about your migraine than anyone else. If they prescribe Oxycodone for your migraines, then you should try with this medication. However, the chances are that this is not going to happen due to reasons that we have mentioned before. Another thing that has to be factored in here is that the migraine medications are advancing rapidly in efficiency and that it is very likely that they will come up with a medication soon that is going to be able to treat the pains caused by migraines better than Oxycodone.
Can Oxycodone cause liver damage?
People generally want to know how safe the medications they are taking or that they intend to take are. This is perfectly understandable. We want to know how healthy the food we eat is and when you consider the nature of medications, it is logical that people have questions about the drugs they are taking. This is even more understandable when you consider that a number of medications can adversely affect the health of certain organs in the body or at least change some of the natural processes that go on in the human body. Some medications also increase the risks of certain medical conditions occurring. For instance, there are certain medications that affect the heart in an adverse fashion, increasing the blood pressure and thus increasing the risks of certain cardiac events happening. Some other medications take their toll on the kidneys while some medications may affect the health of the bones. These are just some of the examples of why people want to know all the risks connected with the use of a certain drug.
Another organ that is often affected by the use of drugs is the liver. Namely, this is one of the organs in which most of the drugs are metabolized (the other being kidneys) and there are medications that pose a certain risk to the liver. The good news here is that Oxycodone does not affect the liver in an adverse fashion. There have been no studies that have connected Oxycodone to the health of the liver. And considering that Oxycodone has been used for more than 70 years now, the chances are that this would have been noticed by now. The reason why many people think that Oxycodone can cause liver damage is that Oxycodone is found in compound drugs which contain other drugs as well. For example, Percocet, a medication that includes Oxycodone does pose some risk to the health of the liver and can cause damage to this organ.
However, this has nothing to do with Oxycodone. It has to do with the fact that the other medication in this compound drug is acetaminophen. Acetaminophen, or paracetamol as it is also known is a much less potent analgesic that is often combined in compound painkillers. Acetaminophen is notorious for its negative effects on the liver and that is, in fact, one of the reasons why it is included in certain painkillers. Namely, it is sort of a deterrent to people who would otherwise take too much of those painkillers. Due to the fact that acetaminophen causes severe liver damage when taken in too large doses, people are discouraged from taking too much of those compound painkillers. To sum it all up, Oxycodone does not cause liver damage. However, it is found in compound medications that can cause liver damage, but this is exclusively due to the other medications found in those compound drugs.

Does Oxycodone make you sleepy?
There is a whole number of different classes of drugs that are known to cause certain sedation which usually manifests itself as sleepiness. These medications include allergy medications such as antihistamines, muscle relaxants, antidepressants, some cold medicines, seizure medications, sedatives as well as painkillers, especially the opioid painkillers.As Oxycodone is an opioid painkiller, it can cause sleepiness. This is due to its effect on the opioid receptors in the central nervous system. Besides relieving pain, this effect on these receptors can also produce certain sedation, as well as other effects, such as relieving of anxiety and such.
What you need to be aware of is that Oxycodone will not make everyone sleepy. There are many people who take Oxycodone regularly and who do not feel sleepy at all upon ingesting the medication. This depends on the constitution of the patient, the condition they are being treated for, on the dosage they are taking, as well as the duration of their treatment. Namely, many people who feel sleepiness when they start taking Oxycodone, stop feeling it once their body gets used to the medication. It is estimated that somewhere between 23% and 24% of people using Oxycodone feel drowsy upon ingesting the medication.
What you need to keep in mind is that if you are one of these people who feel drowsy when taking Oxycodone, you need to make sure that the drowsiness has gone away before you do anything that requires you to be fully alert. For instance, you should never get behind the wheel of a vehicle if you are feeling drowsy, as you might not only endanger your own life, but the lives of other people around you.
Furthermore, you have to steer clear of alcohol when taking Oxycodone as it will not only enhance the drowsiness, but it may interact with your drug, causing severe side effects that might even be life-threatening. Use of alcohol is so risky when using Oxycodone that you should look out for any foods that might contain alcohol. To sum it all up, there is a possibility that Oxycodone is going to make you sleepy, but the chances are greater that it will not and that you will have no problems that have to do with the sedative side effects of Oxycodone.
What measures of precaution should I take when using Oxycodone?
This article is dedicated to all the measures of precaution that you should take when taking Oxycodone in order to avoid any unwanted side effects of this powerful painkiller. The crucial thing that you need to be aware of is that you simply have to use Oxycodone in the exact way that your doctor prescribed it to you. If he told you to take four tablets a day, do not take 3 or 5 tablets. Take four tablets. If he told you to take them 6 hours apart, do not take then 2 hours apart. By doing so, you minimize the chances of experiencing any side effects of Oxycodone and you also avoid overdose on the medication, an overdose that can be life-threatening by the way. Also, if your doctor told you to stop taking Oxycodone after three weeks, do it. Do not continue using the medication thinking that there is no harm in doing so. The thing is that Oxycodone is an opioid analgesic, and as such, it holds the potential for causing dependency in patients. With prolonged use of Oxycodone, the risk of developing dependency becomes greater.
Now, we come to the more specific measures of precaution you have to take if you want to experience a risk-free Oxycodone treatment. One of the most important measures of precaution is avoiding alcohol. Namely, Oxycodone and alcohol can interact in such a way that your blood pressure becomes too low and that your breathing slows down severely. In severe cases, the interaction between the two may result in a lethal outcome. In fact, you should also be careful about foods and other medications that might also contain alcohol. You need to avoid those as well. Another thing to keep in mind are the sedative side effects of Oxycodone that occur in a percentage of cases. If you should experience side effects such as drowsiness and dizziness, you need to wait for those side effects to go away before you do anything that requires your full alertness and clear thinking. For instance, you should avoid driving if affected this way.
Oxycodone is also known to cause constipation in some people. If you experience constipation due to use of this medication, you should try and remedy this by drinking extra amounts of water. You must not start taking any laxatives before you talk to your doctor and before they approve them for use in your case. It would also be a good idea to keep track of your Oxycodone tablets, especially if you do not live alone. Oxycodone is a known drug of abuse and you should always make sure that your Oxycodone tablets are available only to you. The last measure of precaution that you need to take when using Oxycodone concerns the use of other drugs while taking Oxycodone. Namely, there is a number of medications that might interact with Oxycodone and your doctor needs to approve any new combinations, so that you avoid suffering as a result of those interactions.
Is Oxycodone addictive?
Whenever people are talking about painkillers, they will eventually get one of the most important characteristics of painkillers, the possibility of becoming addicted to the medications. In this article, we are going to answer the question whether one can get addicted to Oxycodone and what are the chances of this happening. However, before we start answering the question, we should first make a distinction between addiction and dependency to a certain drug, as many people tend to think that these two expressions denote one and the same. There is some difference to these two, though and it is important to learn to distinguish between them.
Dependency only entails the need for using a certain substance and it can be either psychological or physiological, or both. Addiction, on the other hand involves a social aspect as well, as people who are addicted will get involved in illegal actions in order to obtain the medication because they need to use a certain substance. As we do not wish to consider the social aspects in this article, we will dedicate it to examining how dependency-forming Oxycodone is.
When we are talking about opioid analgesics, one of which is Oxycodone, there is a tendency among these drugs to cause dependence, especially if used for longer periods of time. A good indication as to how prone these medications can be to causing dependence is the fact that heroin is in fact an opioid analgesic and that it was once used for treating severe pain. Due to their effect on the opioid receptors in the brain, these drugs can cause dependency in patients, both psychological and physical one.
While Oxycodone is less prone to causing dependency that morphine for example, there is still a possibility that the patient is going to become dependent to Oxycodone. However, this usually only occurs if the patient uses the medication for a long time. In most cases, the doctor is going to prescribe Oxycodone only for the duration of time that is considered to be safe dependency-wise. In such cases, the use of Oxycodone should not cause any dependency if the medication is discontinued when the doctor indicated. However, if the patient continues to use the medication after their regimen is over, the risks of developing dependency increase.
There are also situations in which Oxycodone is prescribed for longer periods of time, usually involving long-lasting conditions that involve chronic pain. In such cases, the chances of becoming dependent to Oxycodone are much greater. The biggest problem with developing dependency to Oxycodone are the withdrawal symptoms that occur once the patient who is dependent decides to stop using Oxycodone. These withdrawal symptoms may be quite severe, including anxiety, insomnia, nausea, muscle pain, fevers and muscle weakness.
The good thing is that these withdrawal symptoms can be avoided or at least minimized by carefully and gradually discontinuing the treatment. This includes gradual lowering of the dosage until the patient is able to function healthy without the medication. In conclusion, Oxycodone definitely has the potential for causing dependency in the users, but if the treatment is conducted under supervision of the doctor and if the patient takes Oxycodone as prescribed, the dependency can be either avoided or managed and then gradually treated so that no withdrawal symptoms are experienced.
Can Oxycodone cause any side effects?
One of the most important aspects of any medication are the side effects that might be caused by it. Some people do not even wish to try a medication if they believe that it is going to cause side effects that they find particularly annoying and disturbing. However, the simple fact is that all medications can cause certain side effects. Even the most common medications for the most mundane conditions are known to be able to cause certain side effects, medications like Aspirin, Ibuprofen or the most common antibiotics. That is simply an unavoidable result of medications affecting certain processes in the body. There is always chance that some people will experience some side effects when taking medications. To say that Oxycodone is any different would be an outright lie and it would be irresponsible. Just like any other medication, Oxycodone also may cause certain side effects and as we wish to provide as much information about Oxycodone as possible, we simply have to cover this aspect of the medication as well.
First of all, before you start reading all the side effects that Oxycodone may cause, keep in mind that the FDA regulations require that all of the reported side effects of Oxycodone are put on the label and presented to the public, regardless of how rarely they occurred or even whether Oxycodone is directly responsible for them. Also, keep in mind that most of the people who take Oxycodone do not experience any side effects. The most common side effects of Oxycodone are mostly caused by its action on the opioid receptors in the central nervous system and these side effects include: itching, sweating, dry mouth, loss of appetite, constipation, headache, tiredness, nausea, dizziness and vomiting. These side effects almost always subside on their own and they become less prominent the longer you take Oxycodone. However, if you think that they are becoming too bothersome and that they have started to affect your everyday life, contact your doctor about perhaps lowering the dosage.
However, there are some much more serious side effects that might be caused by Oxycodone. Luckily, these side effects are extremely rare and happen in less than 15% of patients that use Oxycodone. Among these side effects, you will find such as: fainting feeling, confusion, severe dizziness or weakness, clammy and cold skin, convulsions, slowed heartrate and shallow breathing. These are usually signs that your body is responding to the medication in a way it is not supposed to and you need to contact your doctor as soon as you can and tell them about these side effects you are experiencing. Keep in mind that these are not all of the side effects that might be caused by Oxycodone and that you should consult your doctor or the instructions for the entire list. However, this list is a good overview of side effects that are possible when taking Oxycodone. Also, once again, this doesn’t mean that you are going to experience any side effects, on the contrary, you most probably won’t.
How to properly use Oxycodone?
Oxycodone is an opioid analgesic which means that it is a very powerful painkiller. Because of this, one has to take extra care to take the medication properly. This way, one avoids experiencing side effects as well as other more long-lasting unwanted effects of Oxycodone. In this article, we are going to talk about the basic things one needs to keep in mind when taking Oxycodone. First of all, even before you start taking Oxycodone, you have to talk to your doctor and hear from him that you should start taking Oxycodone. It is a medication that must not be taken frilly-nilly and there are conditions that include pain, but that are better treated with some less potent painkillers. Oxycodone is meant to be taken for moderate to severe pain, mostly acute pain such as after surgeries or in cases of injuries.
The first and the most important thing that you need to keep in mind is that you have to use Oxycodone exactly as your doctor has prescribed. Any deviations from the regimen you have been prescribed can only result in harmful effects. For instance, if you take more Oxycodone than prescribed, the chances of experiencing side effects rise and you also risk overdosing on Oxycodone. It is particularly important to discontinue the use of Oxycodone exactly when your doctor tells you to. If you continue using Oxycodone beyond that point, you are increasing the chances of developing dependence, as well as tolerance to the medication. Dependency is particularly serious as it usually involves withdrawal symptoms once the patient actually decides to stop using Oxycodone. In case you are prescribed Oxycodone in liquid form or in form of extended release tablets, you will need to get acquainted with the way you are supposed to take them properly. This would take too much space in the article and we will only advise you to ask your doctor or the pharmacist if you have any questions.
One thing that you must not forget is that you have to steer clear of alcohol when taking Oxycodone. The interaction between the two can lead to extremely effects, and can even result in death. Moreover, you need to make sure that the foods or other medicines you are taking do not have alcohol in them. Oxycodone can sometimes cause drowsiness and dizziness. If you experience these sedative side effects of Oxycodone, you should wait for the side effects to clear up before you participate in any activities that might be dangerous for you or for other people in your surroundings. Driving is particularly ill-advised if you are feeling drowsy and dizzy. Finally, if you are taking Oxycodone and you intend to start taking some other medication, make sure your doctor approves it. This way you avoid any unwanted interactions with other medications.
Can anyone take Oxycodone?
Oxycodone is a medication that is primarily used for treatment of acute pain. There are situations in which it is going to be prescribed to patients suffering from chronic pain, but it is mostly used in situations when the treatment can be completed in less than six weeks, thus avoiding the risks of causing dependency in patients. Due to the fact that it is often used in cases that are beyond anyone’s control such as severe injuries and after surgery, there is possibility that people who are suffering from some other conditions might need to take Oxycodone. Also, people who are taking some other medications might also find themselves in situations where they would benefit from introducing Oxycodone. In this article we are going to cover the cases in which Oxycodone should not be used, as well as cases in which the Oxycodone treatment has to be observed more closely and where regimen might need to be specially adjusted so as not to cause any adverse effects.
First of all, there are people who are allergic to Oxycodone, as well as to some other medications from its class, medications, such as OxyContin, Vicodin, Darvocet, Methadone, Lortab and Percocet just to name a few. These people should never take Oxycodone, as they are at great risk of developing an allergic reaction upon ingesting it, a reaction that might endanger their lives. Another group of people who should not take Oxycodone are people suffering from a condition called paralytic ileus, a condition that involves the obstruction of bowels. Finally, if you are having an asthma attack, you must not take Oxycodone until the attack has finished and you are feeling alright again. There are much more cases in which the doctor needs to be careful when prescribing Oxycodone, maybe run some more tests and adjust the dosage. In these cases, the patients also need to be careful and report any strange or unwanted effects.
We are talking about such conditions like underactive thyroid, gallbladder disease, seizure disorders, liver disease, breathing disorders, kidney disease, curvature of the spine, mental illnesses, adrenal gland disorders, enlarged prostate, low blood pressure, urination problems, or history of brain tumors or head injury. Also, people who have a history of addiction should also be careful when taking Oxycodone, and their treatment needs to be monitored as Oxycodone has potential for being habit-forming. People who are using certain medications should also be careful when taking Oxycodone, as there are possibilities of interactions with some medications. The most common medications that interact with Oxycodone include buprenorphine, butorphanol, nalbuphine and pentazocine, as well as any medications that have sedative effects.
Should I talk to my doctor before using Oxycodone?
We believe no one can deny that we are living at a time where online commerce is really taking flight. Only ten years ago, you couldn’t even imagine buying medications online and it is now an everyday practice for an increasing number of people from all over the world. The advantages of online pharmacies are very obvious ones. First of all, it is convenient. You can get your medications without having to go to pharmacies, driving there, standing in lines with people who are somehow always more ill than you are and ready to infect you with something new. Then, there is the price. Online pharmacies employ much less staff and they are therefore able to offer drugs at much lower prices. In some cases, the anonymity of online pharmacies is also a big bonus, like for example when buying medications for erectile dysfunction or sexually transmitted disease. No one needs to know that you are taking these drugs.
However, there is one thing that everyone needs to be careful about when buying medications online. Namely, there are online pharmacies that are stationed outside the USA and many of these pharmacies only require you to fill out questionnaires before you can order prescription drugs, they do not ask for actual prescriptions. The problem with this is that many people think that this means they do not need to visit their doctor, and this is a big mistake. You should always talk to your doctor before ordering prescription drugs, even if you do not actually need a prescription. As Oxycodone is a prescription medication, and a very potent one at that, it is of vital importance that you do not order it and start taking it before you have talked to your doctor. There are more than a few reasons for this.
First of all, your doctor will decide if you actually need Oxycodone or if you can do with a medication that is not that potent. Also, they can decide with certainty if you can take it safely. The reason why you cannot do this is that there are many conditions that might be affected by the use of Oxycodone and your doctor knows exactly how harmful Oxycodone can be in such cases and what dosages you will be able to tolerate. For instance, if you have ever had an allergic reaction to Oxycodone or to other narcotic painkillers such as Percocet, Lortab, methadone, Darvocet, Vicodin or OxyContin, you should not take Oxycodone as there is much chance that you will experience an allergic reaction to the medication, which can be life-threatening. Also, if you are suffering from a condition known as paralytic ileus, or bowel obstruction, you should not take Oxycodone either. There are some other illnesses and medical conditions that will not necessarily prevent you from taking Oxycodone, but that might be affected by the treatment with this analgesic. These conditions include: low blood pressure, curvature of the spine, kidney or liver diseases, seizure disorders like epilepsy, gallbladder disease, any mental illness, enlarged prostate, Addison’s disease or any other adrenal gland disorder, underactive thyroid, breathing disorder of any kind (asthma, sleep apnea, COPD), or if you have a history of brain tumor or head injury.
Also, if you have had problems with substance abuse, you should let your doctor know about this as well, as this increases the probability of developing dependency to Oxycodone. In addition to this, your doctor is going to come up with the perfect Oxycodone regimen that is going to achieve the best results in your case. Furthermore, they will inform you about precautions you need to take when using Oxycodone, about side effects that are possible when using Oxycodone and any interactions with other medications that you need to look out for. In conclusion, make sure you talk to your doctor before you start taking Oxycodone.
When is Oxycodone used?
This article is dedicated to some of the most common uses for Oxycodone, the medication we are concerned with at this blogsite. We are hoping that this article might help people decide if Oxycodone might be the best solution in their case. Also, this article will hopefully give you a picture of how effective Oxycodone is and how versatile in its application it is. As you probably know already, Oxycodone is an analgesic, or more precisely an opioid analgesic. This means that it is used to relieve pain and that it is derived from opium, in Oxycodone case through thebaine which is found in opium besides morphine and codeine. Being an opioid analgesic, the main use for Oxycodone is in treating pain. However, you need to keep in mind that you are not going to take Oxycodone for a headache of for toothache. Oxycodone is only prescribed to patients whose pain is categorized as moderate to severe.
In cases of pain that is not that severe, there are much better options. Oxycodone is generally more used in treating acute pain, although there are situations in which it will be prescribed for chronic pain as well. The main reason for this is that, like all other opioid analgesics, it can both lead to tolerance to the medication, but also to dependence, in Oxycodone’s case both psychological and physical dependence.If the patient develops a tolerance to Oxycodone, they are going to need more and more of the medication to achieve the results they once achieved with regular doses. This increases the possibility of side effects, as well as of overdose. If the patient becomes dependent to Oxycodone, there is a high probability that they are going to experience severe withdrawal symptoms once they do try to discontinue the medication. It is possible to avoid these withdrawal symptoms by gradually discontinuing the medication.
One of the most common uses for Oxycodone is in cases where post-operative pain occurs. This happens quite often and people suffer from pain that can be very difficult to tolerate. In some cases, it is severe. This is when Oxycodone is prescribed as it will both relieve the pain, but also relax the patient, helping them sleep and recover more quickly. This use is perfect, as it does not last that long and there is little chance that the patient is going to develop dependency and tolerance to Oxycodone. For the same reasons, Oxycodone is also often used to help relieve pain in patients with serious injury who are experiencing severe pain.
In some cases, Oxycodone is also used for chronic pain. For instance, patients with scoliosis might be prescribed Oxycodone, as the medication is going to make it possible for them to engage in physical therapy by reducing the pain. Another common instance when Oxycodone is prescribed is in patients suffering from degenerative disc disease, a condition that sometimes causes severe chronic pain. Once again, Oxycodone can be of great use here. However, all these prolonged uses of Oxycodone need to be closely monitored by the physician in order to minimize the risks of tolerance and dependence. Finally, Oxycodone is often used in patients under palliative care, i.e. patients suffering from terminal diseases who are experiencing severe pain due to their conditions. In such patients Oxycodone can bring much relief as it will not only treat the pain, but will also act as an anti-anxiety drug, as well as helping them sleep. Some doctors even prefer it to morphine in palliative care due to the fact that it causes fewer side effects than morphine.

Antidepressants are among the sorts of remedies that a majority of often lead to smelly breath. Very popular kinds of some examples are Prozac, Wellbutrin, Lexapro, Xanax, as well as others. The actual cause of it is that tricyclic antidepressants obstruct a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. If this neurotransmitter is blocked, the mucus and spit glands with the physique tend to reduce or end working in its entirety. No saliva coming into the jaws indicates there’s no humidity or lubrication inside jaws, which cures it. It also encourages bad breath, due to the fact anaerobic bacterias (the number one root cause of bad breath) are likely to flourish in this natural environment.
Quite a few otc supplements medicines may induce dry mouth. Tylenol, aspirin, and ibuprofen have got all been related at some time or perhaps the other to dry mouth, it sometimes side effects isn’t as normal with these medicines as it is with antidepressants.

When utilizing treatment, you’ll want to 1st think about the rewards. There’re probably the most vital things to consider. But, adverse reactions mustn’t be ignored. When the prescription medication is proven to work, while, then xerostomia may be a complication you are willing to take.
