Experiences with

Adderall

My son takes Adderall 20mg XL It really helps him and it lasts 8 hours.

Any long term affects of adderall use? How can it affect brain in long term? I was on adderall briefly and my doctor just discontinued it because of side effects. I feel less overwhelmed and irritable lately. Motivation is better but still low.

I understand that the suggested adult dose is 20 mg/day. I'll ask my doc, but I thought I'd ask her about starting at 5 mg and titrate up to see how it goes. I'm pretty susceptible to some of the listed side effects. That way, I can see whether any side effects develop. Is that the approach that's usual

Sometimes I feel disconnected when I am taking adderall. Anyone else?

Anyone fluctuate between insomnia and sleepiness on adderall? I am either struggling with insomnia or very sleepy on it

His psychiatrist said that he sees positive benefits with teenagers and adderall. At this point, I'm willing to try anything but I've looked up some of the effects of adderall, and it has made me nervous.

Does anyone have a history of PVCs and take adderall? I really want to restart my medication. My heart has been rigorously tested and everything has came back normal but I'm struggling w some anxiety about it.

And she upped the zoloft to 150mg and the adderall ir (the 10.30 one) so I take adderall 10mg xr + 15-20mg ir a day. To be honest, did nothing! Okay maybe the first day was okay, but it is like taking nothing, I'm less motivated and worried about not getting more productive.

I’m 48, have had little success with vyvanse, Concerta and now Adderall due to side effects. All of these wonderful adhd meds are making me dreadfully tired, tachycardic and adderall is giving me abdominal pains and possibly affecting my urination despite lots of hydration.

My roommate is about to start taking Adderall for the first time and she is very nervous about it. She was originally on Zoloft 50mg once a day but is now transferred to Adderall that she has to take twice a day. If anyone has taken Adderall can you share your experience please?

[/i] Concerta made him the most upset so we stopped this one pretty fast Adderall XR - less anger but still noticing mood swings and sadness. Now trying regular Adderall

Do all stimulants do this or is it just Adderall?

So I’ve been taking Adderall XR (15mg) and prescribed IR to take when needed for adhd (inattentive). The combo works well for me but my psych put me on Zoloft to get a handle on my depression.

I then got on Adderall 10mg IR and it was amazing for me! I ended up building a tolerance I guess because it went from lasting 6 hours to lasting 3 hours. My psychiatrist changed my medication to Adderall XR 15mg and I’m very hopeful it will be better since that is suppose to last me 8-12 hours!

What if we took away your Adderall?” First of all…. It was really ignorant of her to even compare. I do not abuse my aderall at all!

I read something a while back that the Adderall didn’t seem as bad and was longer lasting. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Alan

I'm on adderall xr 20mg for one month now and have been on zoloft for years. I can't wake up in the morning, I even set up alarm took the adderall 5.00am in the morning hoping it will help me getup when the med kicks in. But it is not happening. Take zoloft 50mg at night. I'm so tired.

Also, I already had been taking Adderall for about 10+ years for adult ADHD. I do find the Modafinil is helpful for the fog. Is anyone else on either one of these meds for MS? If so, how are they working for you? Thank you! Gracy

of Adderall XR and I wonder if others have this experience of when it wears off, feeling extreme agitation. I find myself being very short tempered and angry when there's no good cause.

I talked to my psy dr about an afternoon booster and he agreed to give me Rx for 10mg of ir adderall. He was a bit hesitant about this though and told me to only use it a few nights a week, if I need to for work.
