Best Answer:
ADHD is a fantasy disease. Drug companies made it up. Here are the drugs:
Trade Name Generic Name Approved Age
Adderall amphetamine 3 and older
Concerta methylphenidate
(long acting) 6 and older
Cylert* pemoline 6 and older
Dexedrine dextroamphetamine 3 and older
Dextrostat dextroamphetamine 3 and older
Focalin dexmethylphenidate 6 and older
Metadate ER methylphenidate
(extended release) 6 and older
Metadate CD methylphenidate
(extended release) 6 and older
Ritalin methylphenidate 6 and older
Ritalin SR methylphenidate
(extended release) 6 and older
Ritalin LA methylphenidate
(long acting) 6 and older
*Because of its potential for serious side effects affecting the liver, Cylert should not ordinarily be considered as first-line drug therapy for ADHD.
Here are the side effects: Side Effects of the Medications.
Most side effects of the stimulant medications are minor and are usually related to the dosage of the medication being taken. Higher doses produce more side effects. The most common side effects are decreased appetite, insomnia, increased anxiety, and/or irritability. Some children report mild stomach aches or headaches.
Appetite seems to fluctuate, usually being low during the middle of the day and more normal by suppertime. Adequate amounts of food that is nutritional should be available for the child, especially at peak appetite times.
If the child has difficulty falling asleep, several options may be tried
Is there a really good over the counter medication for peridontis?… by shell70
I have peridontis and would like to try and get rid of it before the dentist does a deep cleaning, does any one know of a good over the counter medication that will help?
Best Answer:
If you have periodontitis, the best way is to have the teeth cleaned thoroughly by a dentist or dental hygienist. That's the reason you definitely need deep cleaning (scaling and root planning). There is no other way around it. Studies have showed that the clinical benefit of medication(antimicrobial) doxycycline hyclate (Periostat;) and locally delivered doxycycline hyclate (Atridox) IN CONJUNCTION WITH with scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. If you don't want to lose your teeth or have to go through a more expensive and painful surgery, deep cleaning is really necessary!

What is the best treatment for hemarroids ?… by James
I have been using anusol for about a week and it does not seem to be helping much. Can anyone suggest anything better that can be bought without a prescription. I don't really want to go to the doctor unless I have to - I don't like the idea of getting my bottom examined ! Any advice would be much appreciated. I am in the UK.
Best Answer:
I have the same problem. Just keep using the Anusol HC every time you use the bath and try long warm sit baths for at least 30 min. every night. After a week if you are not better you should visit your doctor. Don't be ashamed. that is what the doctor does all day and he/she will give you the best treatment. Hope you get better soon. It is very painful.

I have bad vaginal burning and swelling………………?… by christy09
I was treated 2 weeks ago on a Tuesday for bacterial vaginosis. By Friday I had a yeast infection my obgyn called in diflucan and by that Monday it had gotten worse so I went back to the doctor and he gave me a 3 day treatment that was last Wednesday. I took the treatment and the yeast infection is gone but now I have terrible burning and swelling. It is also painful to the touch(very sore) it burns when i urinate. I am 4 months pregnant and I have never had these problems before what could be the cause and what can I do to ease this pain I can't see my doctor again untill Monday!
Best Answer:
I would first contact your OB/GYN's office and let them know that your condition did not improve but had rather gotten worse. Tell them that you NEED to see the OB/GYN soon because of your burning and swelling. It is not safe to wait until Monday! I would highly reccomend a cortizone cream (Nystatin/Triamcinolone Cream, generic for MYCOLOG-II Cream 15GM) used for vaginal discomfort. But this is a prescription medicine- so ask your OB/GYN about it.
Hope you feel better SOON!

How often should you feed a beta fish?… by Pam
The pet store said two pellets every other day. But he seems so hungry on the off days and swallows down the pellets as soon as I drop them in. Are the instructions they gave correct?
Best Answer:
2 pellets every other is most likely not enough. You should really feed him once a day non more tham he can eat in 2 minutes. (3-5 pellets) Generally most long time betta owners skip one day a week. Be careful that bettas are notious pigs will literal eat themselves to death. Personally I look at my bettas bellies to see if they have been get the right amount of food. (check the below link)
PS- Note that bettas are carnivores. If they are hungry they will eat anything, but healthy bettas need a diet based on worm/shrimp/fish.
