60 mg was obviously too high of a dose, and your Dr was right to eather.....up your dose, but not by as much as he did origlionally , or switch you to one of the other ADD drugs. \n\n   Quite simply, the various ADD drugs will often work differently for different people, and, as "unscientific" as this sounds,  the only real way to really tell what will work for you is the good ol' "hit or miss" method.\n\n(It's the same with selecting the "right" antidepressant as well.) \n\n  "...whats up with the 60 mg of dexedrine not helping at all when 20 mg [of Ritalin?] does..."\n\n  Not all drugs are as powerful, measure for measure, as others.  So 20mg of one might be a big dose, while 50 of another might be a small dose.\n\n  What you are looking for is noticable results......without side effects.  And that's what you need to hold out for.\n\n  A recent study of....Adderal, I think it was.....showed that MUCH SMALLER doses than were origionally thought to work best......turned out to produce the best outcome, when reduction in symptoms were later objectively tested.\n\n  Hope you find yourself "Getting your s**t together" soon !  \n\n  ADD has it's good points, but being able to use your energy in the many ways that you might wish to....is not generally one of them !! \n\n  :- )\n\n  Bob J.

There is a codeine and calcium iodide cough syrup with the trade name Calcidrine (ref. 1). Calcium iodide and iodinated glycerol happen to be included together in a list of medicines your physician should be notified about if you are using them in conjunction with lithium (ref. 2), but they are not the same thing. Calcium iodide does not appear to have a synonym (ref. 3).

Not especially clear on what you're asking, but methamphetamine hydrochloride is available by prescription.  The trade name is Desoxyn.\n\nAnd you asked what types of drug is methamphetamine...it is a central nervous stimulant.  Means it gets you going, rather than slows you down.\n\nJust so I can say I said so: if you are thinking of messing around with this stuff, don't.  I have seen it ruin life after life after life, and nothing good comes from it.  Ever.

He's probably on it for bed-wetting.  It is an antidepressant, but it's not usually used for that purpose anymore as other drugs have since been developed that are more effective... but it is still used for bedwetting.   Apparently it causes the smooth muscle wall of the bladder to relax so that it can stretch to hold more urine without the need to urinate being as intense.  I took it for bedwetting when I was that age also, it's not 100% perfect, but it does help... although it isn't a cure, it just helps you get through the night when you take it, until your bladder grows enough to keep from wetting the bed on its own.\n\n   Good luck, I hope your nephew is able to grow out of it soon!

stimulant medications have been used successfully for years to treat accurate diagnoses of attention defecit disorder with or without hyperactivity, in children as young as 5. however it is unusual and discouraged to diagnose the disorder or medicate children under the age of 8. medication is overprescribed for children who do not meet the diagnostic criteria for the disorder, and underprescribed and misdiagnosed for children and adults with higher intellectual functioning. for children and adults who meet the criteria for diagnosis, brain imaging technology has shown decreased activity in the prefrontal cortex, specifically decreased relative levels of dopamine and decreased dopaminergic exposure at post- synaptic neurotransmitter sites. stimulant medications such as methylphenidate (ritalin) and amphetamine derivatives (dextrostat, adderal) are used to correct this condition, at doses too low to cause inebriation or intoxification. other medications chemically similar to atypical antidepressants (strattera)act on the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, and have proven effective with adult patients. stimulant treatment is prescribed at doses too low for physisiological or behavioral addiction, however many adolescent patients with the disorder are significantly more likely to engage in polysubstance abuse, and they may misuse their medication. abuse of ritalin, dextrostat, or adderal is relatively infrequent and generally is seen in late elementary through mid to late high school populations; abuse of amphetamine derivatives is addressed by titrating ritalin, and abuse of ritalin or amphetamine medications is addressed by titrating dosage, limiting quantity prescribed, and concurrent low dosage atypical tricyclic antidepressants. tegretal (carbamazepine) has also shown limited effectiveness at treating the abuse of medications for attention defecit disorders while not aggrevating attention or concentration problems.\njust because the medication is prescribed and reduces a SYMPTOM does not mean the patient meets criteria for diagnosis, and many patients that do meet diagnostic criteria are untreated or misdiagnosed as mood disorders or impule control disorders.
