ADHD Maintenance

Intuniv Questions Encourage More Specific Maintenance for ADHD
Sorry for the silence readers, I’ve been writing… – ADHD Medication Rules: Paying Attention to the Meds for Paying Attention is done, and the Launch Date is, get this, July 4th. Do you think there’s a significance there? You will soon see that independent thinking is the hallmark of this 150+ page Guide to solve ADHD Medication Confusion. The Press Release will be available Tuesday [6-08-10] AM here at PR Web.

If you haven’t signed up on the notification list on the Rules link, please do so for the Launch Discount – everyone on the list will have the opportunity to buy Rules for $15 – cheap pricing for the many details on every commonplace aspect of ADHD medication management – less than the copay for a med check in many parts of the country.

Intuniv and Boats In Florida
My nephew, Brian Dooley, a deep thinker, historian, and hands-on-guy who can speak Spanish and  run hard working crews on complicated construction projects, made an interesting observation this past weekend: Over 80% of the boats that sink in FL – over 80% – sink at the dock!! They don’t sink during the storm of life, out on the high seas of change, but right there at the easiest, most available place for maintenance – at home there on the dock. See that diver in the photo on the deck? – He’s too late.

This, my friends, is not such a remarkable fact when we think of other overlooked basic maintenance activities – such as those relevant to ADHD meds.

Read These Intuniv Posts For An Interesting Message
I’ve been on the first page of Google with my Intuniv Reports for months [today #5 of 47,300 hits] and the reason is simple: the depth of reader conversation in these posts has also kept me very busy writing – the questions about ADHD medications come from many levels of consternation:

Intuniv For ADHD: Metabolic Challenges
Intuniv For ADHD: Understanding Tenex, Guanfacine and Alpha 2
Intuniv For ADHD: Dosing Details
Intuniv For ADHD: Avoid Drug Interactions
Intuniv Answers: ADHD and Addiction

Many of the posts have interesting, complex comments – one has over 200 – and therein lies the rub: Intuniv is working out very well as an alternative for stimulant meds – pure alternative or helpful augmentation – but the message there is deeper than that:

We have trouble folks, right here in River City. We have trouble at the dock. We have trouble with the care of our children. We have trouble with ADHD complexity that goes beyond just throwing some stimulant meds at a superficial label.

Neuroscience Answers
The deeper message is simple: We have many boats out there sinking at home, there at the dock before college, before the seas of life. Read the many comments, and you will be encouraged to practice more careful maintenance – to become informed to help you and yours actually understand that basic ADHD Maintenance matters – and how to do it everyday, without problems.

ADHD is more complex than simply using the medication effectively – we need to dig further into the neuroscience measurements, the available biology to measure immune system dysfunction, endocrine challenges, and actual neurotransmitter levels. More coming soon on all of these specifics here at CorePsych Blog.

For today: the launch on July 4, just around the corner, – make sure your automatic bailer is plugged in and turned on.

Psychiatric Diagnosis and DSM 5: Maps to Nowhere

February 13, 2010 Beyond ADHD

If you are lost, forget being found with this bible. Don’t be worried, you won’t have to change anything you are doing… it’s the same old 19th Century stuff, trimmed up to tweak the descriptive language, with no improvements there for patient care, and no new science. Boring.
