![]() ![]() Induction of a Manic Episode in Patients with Bipolar Disorder : May induce a mixed/manic episode in patients with bipolar disorder. Exacerbation of Pre-existing Psychosis : May exacerbate symptoms of behavior disturbance and thought disorder in patients with a pre-existing psychotic disorder.Monitor for tachycardia and hypertension. Further evaluate patients who develop exertional chest pain, unexplained syncope, or arrhythmias during Mydayis treatment.ĬNS stimulants cause increased blood pressure (mean increase ~2-4 mm Hg) and heart rate (mean increase ~3-6 bpm). Sudden death, stroke and myocardial infarction have been reported in adults with CNS stimulants at recommended doses, as well as sudden death in pediatric patients with structural cardiac abnormalities and other serious heart problems while taking CNS stimulants at recommended doses. Use with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or within 14 days of last MAOI dose, due to increased risk of hypertensive crisis.Īvoid use in patients with known structural cardiac abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, serious heart arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, and other serious heart problems. Angioedema and anaphylactic reactions have been reported with other amphetamines. Known hypersensitivity to amphetamines or other ingredients of Mydayis. Assess the risk of abuse prior to prescribing and monitor for signs of abuse and dependence while on therapy. CNS stimulants, including Mydayis, other amphetamine-containing products, and methylphenidate, have a high potential for abuse and dependence.“This finding suggests some lasting effects of psychostimulant treatment on certain aspects of neurocognitive processing in young adults with ADHD.”Īt a follow-up of 30 days following the last dose of mixed amphetamine salts XR, no serious adverse events were reported. “One unexpected finding was that patients who received mixed amphetamine salts XR in the first treatment period and who were then switched to placebo for the second treatment period either maintained or improved their accuracy and response speed despite no longer receiving the medication,” said Gary Kay, PhD, of the Washington Neuropsychological Institute, Washington, DC. In patients who received placebo first, response speed improved after switching to active treatment, while those who received mixed amphetamine salts XR first maintained their improved response speed, even after switching to placebo. Improvements in the accuracy of information processing with mixed amphetamine salts XR were paralleled by improvements in response speed. At week 6, the scores in the group switched from placebo to active treatment improved, and scores in the group switched from treatment to placebo remained unchanged. The primary outcome measures were changes in the speed and accuracy of information processing during neurocognitive testing using the computer-assisted CogScreen-Aeromedical Edition test, which measures working memory, information processing speed, mental flexibility, and other parameters.Īt study week 3, accuracy scores on a visual-spatial working memory test were higher in the treatment group than the placebo group (95% vs 93% P =. The treatment group received 20 mg mixed amphetamine salts XR daily in the first week, 40 mg/day in the second week, and 50 mg/day in the third week. In a recent study, 15 adults aged 19 to 25 with ADHD were randomized to receive mixed amphetamine salts XR or placebo for 3 weeks and were then crossed over to the other group for another 3 weeks. Analysis of the National Comorbidity Replication Survey revealed that 3% of a nationally representative sample of 10,000 US adults satisfied diagnostic criteria for ADHD, and that more than one third of those diagnosed with ADHD had not been diagnosed until adulthood. Once thought to be primarily a disorder of childhood, ADHD is now known to frequently extend into adolescence and adulthood. TORONTO, Canada-Treatment with mixed amphetamine salts extended release (XR) (Adderall XR) improves information processing speed and accuracy in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to findings presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association. ![]() From the American Psychiatric Association Not Just a Childhood Disease ![]()
