    • Close ADHD / ADD

      10 yr old son with ADHD/Tourettes

      Treatments

      Adderall Somewhat Helpful
      Caused increased anger/rage. Stopped using this med
      Daytrana Working / Worked
      LOVED it! Very easy to control. Can leave it on for entire dose, or remove it early on days when full dose is not needed. Stopped this med only because son had irritation due to the patch
      Focalin Working / Worked
      Current med. Works well, but dosage needs to be adjusted frequently
      Strattera Not Working
      Made no differnce
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Have been clinically depressed for over 10 years

      Treatments

      Effexor Working / Worked
      Works well. Taking extended release, 300mg. Missing a dose or two will cause a set back/breakdown
      Paxil Somewhat Helpful
      Probablly didn't take this long enough to get the full effect.
      Prozac Somewhat Helpful
      Did not like Prozac, increased suicidal feelings
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Surprisingly, this increased my depression
