Directed attention Exhaustion and Adderall XR
My son has recently started
Adderall
XR
and has said he gets tired and exhausted after focusing on tasks and assignments that aren't very interesting. Is this fairly common and what can be done to minimize this exhaustion? Thanks!

Help finding a therapist
Hi! I'm new and kinda lost. I'm hoping someone can please me. We had my son tested last year for ADHD. We received the test results the same week as the pandemic. He is 10 yrs old and in 4th grade. His pediatrician has him on Focalin XR since last summer, which I think helps some days and not others

Wellbutrin for adult ADHD?
Hi everyone, I'm new to the whole ADHD diagnosis thing. I'm 41, a mom, wife, and teacher. I was recently diagnosed with adult ADHD (inattentive type.) I have tried stimulants. I really don't want to have to take a stimulant, because then I have to take Klonopin to calm the jitters! I recently tried Mydayis

Adderall and lack of appetite
I started adderall a few days ago and it has completely diminished any sense of hunger. Even when I haven’t ate all day and my stomach is growling, I barely notice. Are there any tricks, food, or supplements that has helped anyone make sure that they are getting all the nutrients they need even when

Can I mix Adderall XR with Yoo-hoo to get child to take it?
I was thinking about opening the capsule into a medicine cup and just adding a few squirts of Yoo-hoo so he will drink it down. Will this be ok?

How can I be prescribed Adderall?
Hello All, I believe I have a hardcore ADHD, I'm 28 now, and totally convinced I have ADHD, don't want to give you an impression that I have jumped to this conclusion with online articles and watching videos, but my problem exists since I was a child. I always had ADHD but not been clinically diagnosed

New to community - in tech sales
Hi Everyone, I'm new to this community and thought it could help to talk with other people with ADHD because it does feel isolating most of the time and people here can probably relate. Quick background: I am in tech sales and have always been someone who is very ambitious but in that rock-and-a-hard-place

Adderall and dry mouth
Adderall has definitely improved my quality of life with the exception of my extremely dry mouth. Drinking copious amounts of water doesn’t seem to help much and by the end of the day my tongue is like sandpaper! My appetite has been affected my this since nothing sounds good to eat when my tongue feels

Medication switch and a bad mood for weeks
Has anyone switched from Adderall to Ritalin and found that their mood fell and just didn't get better? I've been on ritalin for about 3 weeks and I just kind of hate everything. I'm already prone to depression and this mood shift makes me nervous because I don't want to go back down this rabbit hole

Low-active COMT genotype and stimulant therapy
I have ADHD that I've been treated for off and on throughout my life. Recently, I sought psychostimulant treatment as I was having trouble being interested in projects at work that were necessary and prolonged. We started off with Adderall IR 10mg. In the past, I have tolerated Ritilan and Adderall

My 16 yr old daughter is stretching
my 16 year old daughter has the same exact problem that is happening and it’s really bothering her. Did you happen to find out what it was? She is in adderall and has been on it for a long time. The doctor just changed meds. We don’t know if that’s it but we are trying this first?

Seroquel & Lamictal for Adult ADHD?
So I was prescribed Seroquel & Lamictal for Adult ADHD and told to stop taking the Adderall my PCP prescribed. Has anyone else seen these drugs prescribed for adult ADHD? The challenges I am trying to address (in the context of my relationship with my wife) are primarily emotional regulation, rejection

Balancing Medications for ADHD and Anxiety
I'm looking to start medication for ADHD, but struggle with anxiety as well. I tried Adderall a couple of years ago, which helped with ADHD but increased my anxiety and often put me in a manic state. Anxiety meds make me sluggish and sleepy. Can a balance be achieved, or will I just have to pick one

Can you develop an Adderall tolerance?
About 10 years ago, at age 45, I was diagnosed with ADHD. It seems that I was the only one in my life that was surprised. I was given Adderall and the change in focus was amazing! The weight loss was an added benefit and for the first time in my life ate "normally" without slipping meals or dieting

New Diagnosis
Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with ADHD about a year ago and wanted to reach out. I have been on and off stimulants but I seem to have the strangest side effect from them. My neck always gets incredibly stiff and tight when I am on them, even at small doses. I have tried Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse
