Experiences with

Adderall

Second question: Have you switched to another stimulant because of the Adderall shortage and if so what is working for you?

Because of the shortage, I wasnt able to get Ritalin so my doctor prescribed generic adderall until I was able to get it. My question is: does anyone know how many hours after taking my last dose of Adderall can I start on Ritalin again?

For months now I have been having problems getting my prescription filled and am now using some Extended Release that I had discontinued taking to instead take the regular dose hoping to get sleep (with no luck) because that's all I have on hand. At this point I am thinking about quitting. I wonder,

Drug shortfalls could last throughout the year. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/amid-shortage-generic-adderall-frustration-builds-demand-increases/story?id=98160584

Good RX does not help for Adderall XR prescriptions with name brand Adderall and generics aren’t available. Also I’m not looking for Adderall IR (the instant pill) Thank you!

Does anyone take Adderall? I have ADD and in the past have taken 5mg adderall when I needed to focus. Now in addition to that, I use it when fatigue gets in the way of living. I am over 70 with coronary heart disease. My current PCP doesn't want me to take it any more because of my age and CAD.

Been on Prozac 20 mg for 1.5 years and Adderall. Hates the way Adderall makes her feel -no appetite- but had a very bad reaction to Ritalin. Just cannot motivate to do much. Needs to sleep a lot.

But don't want to try to take high doses of those to make up for the Adderall Crash.

Also, does Adderall affect RLS?

It seems related to Adderall being counteracted by acidification. This morning I found an FDA 'drug interactions' sheet that mentions this. https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2005/011522s032,033lbl.pdf Would appreciate your thoughts! -Josh

i’m struggling with lack of motivation and no enjoyment of anything in my life. i’m not sure why i’m so low right now but my adhd meds dyanaval and adderall aren’t even helping. i’m afraid i’ll never feel joy again. life seems dull and i’m finding it hard to find any motivation to take care of myself

I was just loaded up with Adderall and 6mg of clonazepam with no tools to teach me how to navigate . So now I am here and hopefully gain sosome insights in being a better parent to myself.

Hello guys I want to use Adderall how I need to know that its right for me

So he recommended Adderall XR 20mg. Today was my first day. I woke up, had some coffee and took my pill with a smoothie. Within an hour I could feel the effects and a bit nauseous. About an hour later I was starving.

My 4.5 yr old son just started 2.5mg of adderall in the morning. He also takes .5mg of guanfacine in the morning and midday. How do you know if the adderall is having any effect ? His day was so so today - not that great but not horrible either.

I first heard that it was adderall and my son wasn't being affected because he takes Focalin xr. Last time refill they could only give me 20 instead of 30. I called right now to possibly up my sons dose and the ped said now all adhd meds are having shortage issues.

my 16 year old son who has been taking Adderall since he was 7, wants to stop taking it. He has ADHD (inattentive ). He feels it makes him too subdued at school and is affecting him socially. He has never had any issues with hyperactivity or discipline.

is everyone else experiencing a shortage? All the pharmacies that I’ve called said they don’t have name brand or generic and I haven’t been able to get my prescription filled for weeks. What is everybody else doing?

I currently take adderall XR which I find helpful but it wears off quickly. Would like to use hormone replacement But Dr says no…I’m still menstruating every month.
