Looking More Closely At Adhd Medicine And The Side Effects

Looking More Closely At Adhd Medicine And The Side Effects

The popular ADHD drug Strattera which is now widely prescribed in Australia and America has had a mixed press. The two most serious side effects from Strattera are connected with possible liver damage and also some neurological problems. Ironic, isn’t it, that we are talking about neurological side effects of a drug used to cure a mental disorder!

It is strange (and a little disturbing) that doctors and pharmacologists are not quite sure how Strattera works ! What we do know is that it can increase levels of dopamine in the brain which determines not only our mood but also how we make decisions which control our impulsivity and improves our concentration.

Strattera has some advantages over the other ADHD drugs in that it is NOT a psychostimulant and therefore is not classed as Class II substance. There seem to be fewer side effects than Ritalin but in my view they are serious and any parent should look at these closely before deciding to opt for this medication or an alternative. At this point, I should state that an ADHD homeopathic cure will have no adverse effects on your child’s health. He or she will be calmer and happier and there is absolutely no risk. This is in stark contrast to the Russian roulette of Strattera side effects.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had to step in once again and issue a warning to be put on the Strattera medicine boxes. This warning states quite clearly that one of the side effects from Strattera is that it may trigger suicidal thoughts in children who are taking the drug.

I read a blog entry recently about a seven year old boy who had been put on Strattera. He became obsessed with hallucinatory thoughts and was convinced that his school was going to be blown up. He became so frightened that he refused to go to school. It also took several weeks for him to get the drug out of his system. Other side effects from Strattera include loss of appetite, sleepiness and nausea.

There are many question marks about Strattera side effects. The stresses and strain of having to help a child with ADHD can put many marriages under stress because all the players in the family game get tired and irritable. This is when empathy dissolves into thin air and insults and irritation take over. Why not find out about a treatment that will not only help your child but also could save your marriage. You want your child to be happy and serene and to learn how to cope with his disorder but without paying an enormous price in losing your loved ones. Find out more about this ADHD alternative therapy and forget the side effects from Strattera which could only cause more problems than it actually solves.
