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. He was having a horrible time at school and failing every subject. I took him to a child psychologist and his meds were

I was prescribed
Adderall
XR
and it made such a difference. My husband was especially happy. My question, after taking for 3yrs it doesn’t seem to be working as well. My brain thoughts are everywhere and I catch myself interrupting people (my husband) more and more.

How do you cope with when your meds wear off?
I'm very happy with my
Adderall
XR
treatment but am frustrated with my inability to socialize or get ready for bed efficiently after it wears off 12 hours later.

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.

ADHD and tics
Newly diagnosed 59 year old female , prescribed
Adderall
XR
20mg . Have struggled with facial tics (blinking) my entire life , attributed to “nervous habit “. Never knew it was part of the ADHD symptoms nor did any medical provider or therapist suggest that it could be related over the years .

Adderallxr, zoloft. Any suggestions or experiences on meds to help me wake-up early and get up from the damn bed
I feel the medication (
adderall
xr
) a little around early evening. Force myself to sleep. I know nothing is rosey, and medications play a little role. But I would love to hear your experiences with adhd medications.

Adhd+depression +anxiety, advices please!
Then she basically said okay "here is
adderall
xr
10mg" I didn't even ask for it. But I started taking it with 100mgs of zoloft. It makes me sleepy at about 2.30-3.0pm. I was planning to go back to school (take courses) , I don't have that locked in focus, motivation or concentration.

Terrible Insomnia w/ Adderall XR
Anyone else experience terrible insomnia from
Adderall
XR
? How did you get over it? I'm averaging 4 hours of sleep, unless I take an Ambian, which is not sustainable.

Are stimulants suppose to be temporary or lifelong?
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! But I’m worried because if I built a tolerance that quickly to the instant release Adderall, does that mean I’m always going to need to bump it up?

Adderall and irritability
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.

Starting Zoloft and a new job... when to take adderall again?
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.

Inattentive ADD - trying to find right medication - stimulants make her defiant and avoid schoolwork, nonstimulants haven’t been successful
After daytrana patch (or
adderall
XR
at a different time) - refuses to do schoolwork, is defiant to me and is rude to her little sister. And then is hyper socially aware and seems insecure when out among her peers. She cried that it’s “hard to make friends” and it breaks my heart.

First time Adderall XR use- is this normal?
I took my first dose of
Adderall
XR
(20mg) yesterday for the first time and after about an hour/2 my brain finally felt like it was resting (I guess “at peace” is how I would describe it) However as the day went on, I started to get really weak and shaky feeling.

Extended Release Medication Problems
I find I crash hard from
Adderall
XR
but not the IR. Anyone else have those issues? I've heard some people have problems with extended release medications but can't find any research on it to present to my doctor.

Son keeps zoning out and giggle
That's when we went to the doctor and he said he has add and prescribed an
adderall
XR
10 mg. He defenatly became more quiet, he can sit still. But the still zones out, gets up and giggle about something. Like all of a sudden his eyes get wider and he gets excited face. And it really scares me.

Feeling confused
I was only started on a very low dose of
adderall
xr
5 mg which made no difference and made me sleepy. When it got bumped up to 10 mg I have insomnia, but am more productive and motivated. But since I am having such a reaction at such a low dose it is making me doubt my diagnosis.

Adderall XR experience.
We are on day 3 of 10mg
adderall
XR
with my 6 year old son. It’s been heartbreaking so far. He’s so irritable and emotional. The sitter says he hasn’t even laughed or smiled today. We are trying to give it a good week, but gosh… it’s hard to know what to do!

Side effects from switching between stimulants?
I switched back to
Adderall
XR
for a three days and now am back on the generic XR, which is what worked the best for me in the past (there was an insurance change that had me on the brand name XR, which caused a bunch of unpleasant side effects).

looking for suggestions for a new technical career
I take
Adderall
XR
(20 mg) on work days, which is tremendously helpful for about eight hours; I try to make plans and to-do lists during that time. I have trouble focusing on anything for the first day or two of my three-day weekend, since don't take the
Adderall
XR
on those days.
