9 year old on adderall(adderrall), remeron, and depakote

by Charlott3Franklin, Oct 06, 2007 03:26AM
My Step mom has my little brother on a strange mixture of antidepressants and adhd medicines.

those of which include

depakote twice daily 250mg
Remeron  once daily 30mg
adderall (adderrall) once in morning, once at noon, and half tablet at four pm.

Lately since he's been on the depakote hes been throwing up every night had an increase in loss of appetite, not to mention walks around like a zombie.

I'm wondering if mixing thses types of drugs on a child who maybe only shows signifcant signs of adhdis causing severe body damage??

Are mixing these together dangerous?

I'm extremely concerned because for four years hes been heavily medicated.

Charlotte

Id appreciate any help at all

Charlotte,  can you talk to your dad about this?  It's great that he has  sister like you who cares.

You also might want to post this in the medical forums,  and get a doctor's opinion,  or talk to a pharmacist in your area.  They're usually great with helpful information.

As   I understand it,  Remeron isn't approved for use in children.  That seems like a concern.

best wishes with getting answers.
