Studies suggest that medications for treatment of ADHD may increase risk of sudden cardiac death in children. Various medical associations recommend that children be screened for heart problems before starting these types of drugs. In fact it has been reported to us by a family we tutor that her son had to go off Ritalin immediately due to his heart racing for no apparent reason.

If you are planning on bringing your child to the doctor’s office for a Ritalin (methylphenidate) or Adderall (amphetamine) prescription refill, call your pharmacy before the doctor’s appointment (even if in the doctor’s waiting room) to find out whether the store has your child’s drug and strength in stock. If they have the medication in stock, ask the pharmacy to set aside some pills for a prescription that is about to be filled. A phone call to the pharmacy ahead of time can help students receive the ADHD medication they need even when stock is running low. This is especially important considering there is a nationwide shortage for these drugs.

In some pharmacies there tends to be a shortage of certain popular drugs to treat ADHD including brand name and generic Ritalin (methylphenidate) and Adderall (amphetamine). Some of these drugs appear on the US Food and Drug Administration List of drug shortages. If at the doctor’s office and receiving a new prescription of these particular drugs for a recently diagnosed child, be aware of a possible shortage and ask the doctor to call your local pharmacy to see what’s in stock before you walk out the door with the prescription.

Your child may be diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, or just be very active and have trouble concentrating.  You were told perhaps that medication and patience are the only ways to handle the situation, right?

Prescription drugs are usually given out to children by doctors when there is a focusing problem. With these drugs can come mild to severe side effects. Medication can be helpful, however parents and doctors can overlook the main underlying cause of the focusing issue. Other options can be explored first that treat the underlying problem without the use of drugs. We have a 5 page report on how to help people with ADD, ADHD & dyslexia without medication.

Keep all drugs in medicine cabinets or other childproof cabinets that young children cannot reach.

Too often doctors pump kids & adults full of drugs to treat the symptoms of ADD, ADHD & dyslexia. As a result, side effects may occur. Doctors don't always consider the root cause of symptoms & alternative ways of dealing with the problem. For some people medication is necessary, but sometimes other options should be explored first.
