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?

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

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

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.

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

Experiences with afternoon booster
Looking for people’s experiences using an afternoon booster for vyvanse (or other med). I take 50mg vyvanse, usually around 7am. Works pretty well from late morning to around 2-3pm then slowly seems to wear off. I’m ok at work if I’m alone in my office but if I have a late client or evaluation (I’m

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.

ADHD Medication Costs
Is anyone else seeing big swings in medication costs month to month? I try not to stress over the price of medications because I consider them to be necessities. They help my son feel better and as a result, our family time is more peaceful on most days. Instead of stressing over the price, I tell

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.

She used my Adderall as an example of an addiction to cigarettes and ignored my anger towards him for smoking around our child.
I told my sister that I wanted my child’s father to stop smoking cigarettes because our son is diagnosed with severe asthma and severe allergies. I got so mad and onto him about it that everyone is annoyed by me bringing it up…. Well if he listened the first time I wouldn’t have to… anyway my sister

Losing my best friend
We have been growing apart. It all started when I opened up to her about my depression and anxiety and let her know that I was having daily suicidal thoughts. She only sent me a screenshot about the adverse effects of my latest prescribed medication, which is Adderall (a stimulant), for my ADHD. Her
