Hi my 10 year old has ADHD. He has been on Arip MT.05 for the last one year. His doctor has recently started on Ispiral 10, which has the same salts as Ritalin, I m told. My worry is: a) Will the combination of the two cause him any health problems ? b) Now that the drugs are helping him a great deal, will he be required to use them for the rest of his student life ? I m a Communication professional who right now has given up my career in order to take care of my child. I m 47 yrs old,5 ft +, and have Hypo Thyroid. When I got pregnant I did not have to take my thyroid medication as miraculously there was no need. Please tell me ?
