Adderall XR 20mg

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.

Introduction

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.

Financial Medication Assistance

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!

Vyvanase

My doctor is changing my prescription from 30mgs of Adderall XR to 50mgs of Vyvanase. I was wondering if there was anyone here who has taken the drug and what there experience was while taking it?

Alternatives to Vyvance?

He has successfully taken Adderall XR (various doses from 3rd grade to 11th) then was switched to the max dose of Vyvanse. I know there is a drug shortage but has anyone else had this issue? The message he got is that there really isn’t a great alternative.

Irritable on Adderall XR

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and started on 10mg Adderall xr and everything was going well for about a month. Then I started to feel very irritated by everyone. I would snap at my husband and daughter for every little thing.

Adderall

My 8 yr old grandson was prescribed Adderall XR 10mg for his ADHD, and although at home and his teacher at school saw a reduction in his impulsivity and improvements in recall, we felt that at home there was an increase in his irritability and aggression. He has been diagnosed with ODD also.

Different manufacturers’s generic Adderalls work differently to you as well?

I started to take generic Adderall xr 10mg and I felt very good. One day, my pill was changed to a different manufacturer’s ones and I started to feel terrible. I have a dull headache and I lost motivation and focus. My food craving is back.

Has anyone taken the GeneSight test? What was your experience, was it helpful for your medication management?

Tried Adderall XR briefly, but it felt too powerful. When my dr. tried switching me from 600mg Lamictal to Depakote ER. That's when I discovered my Lamictal dosing was too high. Being off of everything, I started thinking more clearly, despite my unstable quickly shifting mood swings.

Help for a Newbie!

We started on Adderall IR, worked to Adderall XR plus an afternoon IR. It still wasn’t addressing the symptoms that bothered me most. Then my awesome new Dr moved away. I made an appt with a Psychiatrist who worked in my therapist office. I completed Genesight and had my initial appt.

Questioning NP aversion to stimulant medication for 12yr old

I have gradually eliminated and am weaning off medications for those conditions and instead using generic Adderall XR 30mg (under the management of a great PMHNP). But my question is now directed more for my daughter, who sees a different provider.

Adderall xr and defiance/irritability

Hey guys, it has been awhile since I've posted but I'm back for some guidance. I have a 14 year old son that has been treated with Concertasince 5 years old until about 2 months ago.

ADHD and Addictions

I am currently on 30 mgs (which, to be fair is, several milligrams more than the 5 that she started me out on) of Adderall XR and have not really felt any benefit from the medication.

National Shortage

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.

Struggling with Insurance/Dr/Meds in MA

I'm finally pointed at a place taking new patients, go through the process to register then I'm told their office won't prescribe adderall at my dosage (XR 30mg). 20mg is their limit. They will work with me to wean me down to 20mg while monitoring my symptoms...
