Anyone been told that Adderall is only a short-term medication?

Age 49 female and have been told Adderall is only a short-term medication. Has anyone heard this before? Should I be looking for another doctor?

Adderall not working like it use to

Are there other medications that I can take to help work with the adderall cause I can seriously take 90mgs and it still feels like I only took the 30mgs which honestly feels like nothing.Are there other medications that I can take to help work with the adderall cause I can seriously take 90mgs and it still feels like I only took the 30mgs which honestly feels like nothing.

How does medication affect your life?

While I was taking adderall I got moody at about 8pm, constant fights with my girlfriend, anxiety, everything under the sun. I decided to stop taking adderall and got my doctor to put me on strattera 80mg once daily.While I was taking adderall I got moody at about 8pm, constant fights with my girlfriend, anxiety, everything under the sun.

Finding help after ADHD diagnosis post menopause

Since Vyvanse was not working I requested to change back to Adderall and, because the drs in the DC believe stimulants are over-prescribed (!!), they would only change it to 25 mg Adderall XR.Since Vyvanse was not working I requested to change back to Adderall and, because the drs in the DC believe stimulants are over-prescribed (!!), they would only change it to 25 mg Adderall XR.

Adderall & acne?

I recently tried my first stimulant, Adderall. About 10 days in (not even taking it daily) my face broke out like a teenager's. I'm in my 40's and deal with the occasional breakout, but this was different. There were pimples in my ears, eyebrows, around my mouth, on my cheeks. I counted 15!I recently tried my first stimulant, Adderall. About 10 days in (not even taking it daily) my face broke out like a teenager's.

Teen Suicide Attempt, Depression & ADD - How to convince my teen to get help?

He was seeming to get a little better on zoloft, when we added adderall, a stimulant, in an effort to help him with ADD. A few days later, he took 30 tylenol pills.He was seeming to get a little better on zoloft, when we added adderall, a stimulant, in an effort to help him with ADD.
