Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder dextroamphetamine

Stimulants. A handful of case reports hint that treatment with stimulants (meth-ylphenidate or dextroamphetamine) can help manage behavioral agitation in patients who have suffered a TBI. Certainly, stimulant therapy helps control the impulsivity and hyperactivity of children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder. Despite these encouraging signs, we have to discourage any routine use of stimulants when attempting to manage behavioral lability in TBI patients. Because stimulants have the potential to exacerbate behavioral lability, we recommend that they only be considered when other medication alternatives have been exhausted. [Pg.352]

A 2001 study demonstrated a potential new therapeutic role for dextroamphetamine. The study indicated that it may help some stroke survivors recover faster from the stroke-caused speech disorder known as aphasia. Officially, however, amphetamine has been approved only for the treatment of narcolepsy, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and obesity. [Pg.39]
