Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Can these two coincide with each other:? I have ADHD and very very seldom drink but lately, when I do, I'm awake all night and not sure if its coincidence or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 alcohol is a sedative ADHD is a hyperactivity disorder, one would figure it would help, then again if taking pills for the ADHD you shouldn't be drinking,..... at all. Also some people need stimulants to fight adhd (which i don't understand, but I'm not a doctor) but Ritalin and adderol ((big add/adhd drugs,)) are both stimulants and are two of the most highly prescribed for it > > Can these two coincide with each other:?

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Hi, Healthy normal case is people sleep well under alcohol influence. Nights when you remain awake, check your pulse rate & if possible also BP. You may be allergic to alcohol, which is racing pulse & raising BP. Normal ranges, (Approximate):- Pulse - 65 ~ 85 BP - 100/60 to 135/85 See visiting www.naet.com for info & solutions to eliminate allergies.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 People with ADHD or ADD forthat matter tend to use stimulants ie ritalin to basically funnel the thought processes into one space so that it can be organized and initiated. I have worked with many patients with brain injuries and ADD/HD which have the same response to alcohol. Your brain may work differently in processing the chemicals. Some of my patients were actully given coffee before bed to help them focus enough to sleep. You might want to check ou tthe book " Driven to Distraction " by dr edward hallowell.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I don't take anything for my ADHD. I wish I could, but its a terrible habit of mine. almost any medication that requires you to take on a daily basis requires you to really take it every day. Meaning, if you miss a day or two, you'll get sick. I'm terrible about taking anything in the day. At night, I'm good about it but unfortunately, that wont help me with my ADHD Are you saying that it does in fact counter each other and that would be why I'm up all night? Thank goodness I don't drink often at all :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
