Solved: Problems With ADHD Medication Dosage
The confusion with ADHD meds continues daily – and remains pervasive, globally. From cookie cutter solutions with med dosing strategies based on formulaic recipes, to complete denial of pervasive ADHD diagnostic and treatment ambiguities, it’s often an ADHD medication mess out there. Just pop that superficial ADHD label like a glass bottle on the fence, pick your weapon, and fire away. All or none, no measurements, just hit or miss. Shooting from the hip is the current default standard of care. Think about it.
Help Me Provide Accuracy and Measurement Protocols
I’m next suggesting here an ethical bribe. I’ve spent hours putting together these videos, years trying to understand why ADHD meds don’t work predictably at times, and even more time collating them into a free, globally available playlist at YouTube. For ADHD medications precise dosage is the absolutely essential objective, the basic imperative, for effective ADHD treatment. In these 9 Dosing Videos, lasting about 30 min played in sequence, I outline most critical ADHD medication dosage first principles.
I’m asking you to simply “Like” these on your Facebook below, a small favor in return for these useful instructions. Join others working with me to correct the nonsense of non-science. I teach you the details, you help spread the word. I help you help others. Sounds like a deal!

Dear Dr.Parker,
I just came across your site and listened to one of your broadcasts and I’m absolutely stunned by how technical ADD medication is. My psychiatrist never even mentioned any of the things you talk about like inflammation and all that.
I wanted to ask you something.
I have been on various antidepressants in the past (celexa,remeron,wellbutrin) and none worked for me.
Now I’m supposed to be treated for ADD cause I have some symptoms.
I just found out through a stool test that I have a dysbiosis in the colon. Too little of lactobacilla and Enterococci and and too many clostridia. Now I’m supposed to take capsules which contain good bacteria.
My question is could this dysbiosis be the reason why no antidepressant worked? Remeron made me tired but nothing more than that.
Also my GP wasn’t able to tell me what could cause the dysbiosis and if I should do any more tests. The reason why I demanded such a stool test in the first place is because I was also thinking about stuff like Leaky Gut or Celiac because I have skin inflammations which come and go and also some of my vitamins(D,zinc,B6,selenium) in the blood are low and I have no explanation for that either.
DO you have any thoughts on this?
Best regards,
Eric
Eric,
Absolutely likely that gut interfered with your meds… happens all the time, in fact most of the time w refractory response to meds. I’ll be doing another post this weekend on this video playlist – for you now: ADHD Mind, Gut and Immunity: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL321-bGRTfd8aFE_AhB43UnsRTiYAo6me

Hello,
I am a 30 year old single mom. I feel like my ADD, depression & anxiety will never be completely under control. It is a constant daily fight against my brain. I am a really nice, positive person on the outside but on the inside I feel like I’m going nuts. It’s so draining. I have tried a lot of different medications, & it seems like they are never strong enough then the effect wears off, & I have to go back to the specialist to figure out what to do next. I have a high tolerance for medications. It is the same way when I’m sick. I sometimes have to come twice to get a higher dosage for the same Illness. I also seem to get sick more easily than most people and have a weak immune system. I also as probably a side effect am losing sexual desire (to an extent) & even more so sexual feeling (I don’t feel it as much anymore). My mom thought maybe I also have a Hormonal Imbalance. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank You!
Julie
Julie,
I’ll bet you know what I’m going to say because you have been on these videos… in word, it’s time for testing. Most folks at 30 look good, and far too often everyone thinks they are fine because they are looking good – but metabolism is the main next direction for inquiry thru IgG, TMA or Neurotransmitters. You can spend hundreds of bucks running around with guessing, and it sounds like you have a Roving Therapeutic Window We can provide those measures long distance if you wish to consider… just check out Services for the different options here at CorePsych.
