Estrogen Dose Too High?
My hormones history is very long, so I won'tgo into great detail , but I had a hysterectomy (everything gone) about 16 years ago. I did fine on 1 mg oral estradiol for about 8 years. About 8 years later, I crashed badly with every menopausal symptom. The worse being the psychological ones. Not one

Can anyone relate with finding a great medicine but can't take it as prescribed?
Taking Adderall seems to help curb anxiety and it lifts my mood. Although I can't take it as prescribed. Any body relate?

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.

Decision to medicate
Hi, I wanted to share my experience for anyone out there who might be on the fence about medicating. I am not a doctor or an expert. I’m just sharing my personal experience. My son was diagnosed with severe ADHD, anxiety and OCD. They also recommended further testing for Autism spectrum disorder.

Commuting against someone’s will?
I have an odd question. My husband was diagnosed with PTSD, depression, and ADD. He started Ritalin LA last week. I was diagnosed 2 years ago and. Adderall works great for me. Everything seems to be a conspiracy against my husband. Legally, is there a way to have him committed for mental health treatment

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.

Help with talking to dr about meds
I’ve struggled with A.D.D. For a long time. I’ve taken medications like adderall for it and various drugs for depression. A few years ago I had an acute pancreatitis that was extremely painful and I spent months, multiple hospital stays and surgeries before My father took me to the Mayo Clinic and they

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.

Breathing issues while on meds
Do any of you ever feel like you can't get a full breath while on medication? I am rather fit and cardiovascular exercise isn't a problem but when I am just sitting and working I find I can't get a full deep breath. I take 30 mg of generic adderall in the morning and occasionally take 7-15 mg after lunch

Adderall dangerous?
https://www.thestreet.com/technology/elon-musk-has-an-unusual-idea-to-tackle-mental-health I wonder how many (if any) have experienced anger or addiction with Adderall? My 9yr old son is just starting with it so very curious/concerned.

False Negative for Adderall
I know some of the posts I’ve seen are from 3 years ago or so and some more recent but apparently this issue is still a “thing”. I take 15mgs of Adderall 2x a day everyday and have never missed a dose. I am also on the Suboxone program (where I used to take (2) 8 mg films, then asked for the dose to

Looking for medication advice for Inattentive type ADHD

Adderall Compound Anxiety?
I take Adderall, and have for about two years now (for ADHD). It is very helpful in allowing me to focus on things, but I find that after I take my dosage (15mg morning, and again in afternoon) that my anxiety seems to peak and I get very depressed. I assume it is because of the "energy" it gives 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.

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?

School rejection after being accepted
My son past all tests and got accepted at new private school. He is entering 3rd grade. During enrollment, I disclaimed that he takes Adderall for ADHD. I immediately received a call from the school asking about it. Now, they are scheduling a call with 4 other leaders at the school to tell us they wont
