Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Anyone have experience with the neurotransmitter test? I have the urine test kit from the dan dr.'s office and it says to give the urine from 2 hrs after rising, not the first urine, which is when he gets his adderall xr in the morning, plus they said ok to give him his adderal, I was wondering if anyone agrees with giving the adderall xr or should we just delay the adderal until after the urine? This throws off his day, this also is a hard thing to do as his bus comes at that time, so his adderal won't have kicked in, probably causing a write up from the inpatient driver and matron...and possibly triggering to his homeroom class.. I can wait til saturday if necessary, I'm just bursting to get this in. It is around $200., is that normal too? I can't blow this test as I know I won't be able to pay for it again so I HAVE to do it the best way, any suggestions highly appreciated!

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Carol, I believe the test kit says to do the second urine of the day, not necessarily exactly 2 hours after the first. Don't stress yourself out or him. Wait until the weekend if it will make it easier on him and you.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I checked it just to be sure as I have 4 different kits (2 from Doctor's Data and the other 2 from NeuroScience Inc. are these both reputable companies?) , it says 2-4 hours on the neuroscreen, but that probably will be the second urine of the day anyway so I think it works out either way. I know you're right I probably should wait til the w/e for that test as I am getting overwhelmed with all the tests. I can't do the mercury test b/c they still haven't sent the DMSA so I was hoping to get this one out there...OH what was your opinion on the meds? Do you think I should hold off the Adderall after I collect his second urine? thanks for your help!

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 We just did this as well. My kit says inbetween 9 and 11 am and before supplements. I just went up to school and got him to pee in a cup for me. I wanted to mail it during the week because I was suspose to freeze it before mailing it.
