is it dangerous to take luvox with ritalin (methylphenidate) ir 10 mg 3x a day?my doc prescribed to me i think the other choice adhd med is concerta.no stratterra here!

Question

Why are there so many types of ADHD meds and which one is the best for me to use? My doc started me on ritalin (methylphenidate)

Answer 1

No: No interactions identified with others in the selection list. Ask your dr about Ritalin (methylphenidate) , Concerta and stratterra . Why you are taking Ritalin (methylphenidate) 3x/day?

Answer 2

Drug interactions: Per the drugs.Com drug interaction checker - use of Ritalin (methylphenidate) can ^ blood levels /effects of Luvox. The fact that there could be an increased risk for Serotonin Syndrome does not mean that it will occur.

Answer 3

It depends....: The frequency of bowel movements varies with age. In the first month, babies can have 4-7 stools per day, sometimes after every feed! at about one month, most infants will move their bowels about 1-4 times per day. By about 4 months, some breastfed babies will only need to have a bm once or twice a week! call your doctor if you are not sure.

Answer 4

4 per day to every 4: Average will be somewhere between 4 per day to once every 4 days. However, some babies will poop 6- 8 times per day and some up to every 7-10 days. There obviously is a wide range of normal. If baby acts well in between and they arent in discomfort, then you should be fine.

Answer 5

Varies from 1-6: Babies in the first couple months of life poop quite often, sometimes after each feeding. Pooping decreases as a baby gets older, and may eventually be just once a day. There is great variation among normal healthy babies in pooping frequency. Parents can tell the doctor at each check-up how the pooping is, and the doctor can help decide if such pooping is normal.

Answer 6

Once, probably: It really depends on what your baby eats. Breast-fed babies often have one bm/day, or sometimes one bm every 2-3 days. The most important thing is that the stool is soft, but remember that many breast-fed babies have watery stools. Bms 3-4 times/day are common for other babies, and these are usually of a mushy consistency.

Answer 7

7x in 1 d or 1/wk: 7 times in 1 day or 1 time in 7 days as long as it is nonpainful and soft it is all normal.

Answer 8

It varies: Wow, this varies a lot. It's typical for breast fed babies to stool after nearly every feeding, though that slows down some as they get older. However, going several days between stools is not abnormal either, in a baby that is eating regularly and appears comfortable and healthy.

Answer 9

Depends: Breastfed babies often poop with each feed in the first few months. Babies fed formula or older children can poop anywhere from several times per day to only once per week. As long as the stool is soft (not hard balls), it's normal. If you do see hard stools, especially associated with pain or blood, your pediatrician may have some simple suggestions to improve it.

Answer 10

Depends: P.S. All babies tend to strain rather dramatically with stools at some point, probably because their brain is working hard to coordinate their intestinal muscles (which are still weak) and nerves. Plus they are laying flat most of the time, so they don't have help from gravity. As long as their stools are soft, the crying, pulling up of legs, turning red is normal and won't last forever.

Answer 11

Breast poops...: ...Can be even more variable: very loose stools with every feeding are normal, but so are formed stools once a week, and every schedule in between, even changing from one to the other extreme.

Answer 12

Depends on the age: How old is your baby? If we are talking about the first or second month then for breastfed babies it might be 6-10 times (sometimes with every feeding) or formula fed babies might have 2-3 stools a day. After 2 months or so of life they start stooling less, especially no stooling at night. So babies after 2 months of age may stool anywhere from 2-3 times a day to every other day.

Answer 13

Yes: Usually after the first few weeks the pattern of stooling can change from after every feed to every two or three days, sometimes even longer. If the baby is urinating, gaining weight and is comfortable this is not a problem.

Answer 14

Yes: If a baby is eagerly and happily breastfeeding each day, if he has no tummy aches nor bloating, and if his poops are quite soft, then it is ok for him to poop only once every few days. He is digesting all the breastmilk, and using almost all of it to maintain and grow his body (leaving very little solid material to make poop). The water in the milk is absorbed and later urinated out as pee.

Answer 15

Call your doctor: When your baby has had fever for more than 3-5 days that does not seem to be resolving, they need to be examined to determine if the cause is serious and what treatment is required. Don't forget that a baby can be sick without a fever, and as a parent, you know your child best. Fever is just a symptom, and by itself is not harmful and is part of the bodies natural immune response to illness.

Answer 16

See a doctor: Cal your doctors office and get an appointment asap. This is a scenario that needs to have an evaluation by a doctor as soon as you can.

Answer 17

See the doctor: Generally, fevers that last more than three days should be evaluated. If there are other symptoms like pain, vomiting, rash, or changes in behavior, call the doctor.

Answer 18

Make sure : Your baby is getting the right dose.In children it is based on their weights.Not getting the correct dosage will cause persistent fever that long too. Best to have your baby checked out anyway. Needed more info to give you advice.

Answer 19

Probably not: In younger women congestive dysmenorrhea can be very severe just before and the first 1-2 days of the cycle. If the symptoms are so severe consider using oral contraceptives which will relieve the symptoms. Talk to your gynecologist about it.

Answer 20

Yes: Have you had sex in ethe last month? If so do a pregnancy test and find out good luck.
