How Can Bipolar Disorder And ADHD Be Treated?

I ve been diagnosed with no polar disorder .ADHD. I was in Xanax and Addreall but once I started taking my effexor my Dr said he only wanted me on one narcotic at a time. I was prescribed 2mg Xanax 3 times daily and 30 mg addreall three times daily. I chose to get off the addreall because benzodiazepine withdrawals are much more sevére amphetamine withdrawals are really nothing more than fatigue. But now that I m off the Xanax and I m not seeing that psych anymore I could definitely benefit from being back in my adderall.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It may not be easy to treat ADHD in kids and teenagers. If ADHD remains incompletely treated, it does a toll on child's self esteem also & too many times, in a desire to get noticed, get some appreciation, child engages into undesirable behaviors which are at present your main concern. There are medications which can be used and inlcude methylphenidate or atomoxetine . As a part of parent teacher management, we can engage into token economy, contingency management, role plays, time out etc. which are taught by Psychologist to both the parents & teachers in school. Hence, do contact your Psychologist for PTMT; if need further help do revert back to me.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
