Looking for an ADHD coach for my 20 yr son
My son turns 21 in July and he suffers from ADD predominantly inattentive. He was diagnosed in 5th grade and has been on Adderall and Vivace over the years. He can’t take concerta because he’s allergic. He functioned on meds until his junior year in high school and then he started self-medicating with

Focalin XR Parents
Hi All, Looking for some feedback on what to feed my child before Focalin XR 10 mg. He's 8, recently diagnosed with ADHD after a LONG LONG road trying to figure out why he couldn't control his emotions. We've had GREAT results so far, but noticed some dips around lunch time, and variation on when things

I’m in 70 mg vyvanse and 30 mg adderall
I can’t function. I feel sleepy. How is that possible? I’m so lazy as if I have hangover traits. I only took half dosage of olanzepine and fluoxetine last night. I can’t seem to get myself going today even as doing physical labor. Having a rough time. Feeling stuck.

Adderall and Sports
My son says that when he plays sports after taking his Adderall that he doesn't feel like he does as well and feels like he isn't "in the game." Has anyone else had their kids say this? We give it to him before games to help but I am nervous we are actually making it worse.

Reaction to adderall change after starting lexapro
I’m on month 3 of treating anxiety and depression with lexapro. I’ve been on adderall since 2013, with the exception of breaks on weekends and extended full detox breaks. 30 mg IR 2x daily has been my script for the past few years... since starting lexapro (currently taking 15 mg), I don’t feel like

do extended release stimulants cause more muscle issues than immediate release?
Seeing dr. this week and thinking of switching from ER Vyvanse(only way it comes) to Adderall-not extended release. Has anyone experienced more muscle pain with ER than immediate release? Tried methylphenidate ER, Adderall ER and Vyvanse. All gave me severe muscle pain in neck and shoulders. Wondering

What is the ideal dose for maximum medication effectiveness Focalin XR
My 17 yr old son has tried several different medications and currently on Focalin XR. He started with 20mg and increased dose until 35 mg. When he took 35mg for a day he experienced increased heart rate, so it was reduced to 30mg. However, when it was reduced to 30mg, he said it was not great as when

I have been in a huge funk lately and can’t do what I rly need to do. Am I depressed or just burnt out? Antidepressants or change ADHD meds?
I am currently on 60mg
Adderall
XR
, and even with that large of a dose (plus 2 cups of coffee) I still feel like my ADHD symptoms are unmanageable.

Diagnosed with ADHD, but therapist thinks I might have bipolar disorder?
Hi all, I just got done a therapy appointment and I feel perplexed. I was diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago and, after reading about people's experiences, I felt super understood and not alone. I was talking to my therapist today about how I have felt emotions intensely all of my life and didn't

Birth Control + Adderall?
I have just recently started taking adderall daily, and I am wondering if people who take low-dose (low hormone) birth control have had any interactions with ADHD meds?

Daily Adderall?
I have tried a lot of things (zoloft, wellbutrin, exercise daily, meditation, therapy, etc) but nothing seems to help my main issues of impulse control and emotional dysregulation. I have an adderall script to take "as needed" and everytime I take it I feel like a new person in a good way. Does anyone

Cannabis for ADHD?
I don't have a definitive diagnosis for ADHD (I do for autism), but my therapist thinks I have it, and after filling out a questionnaire for my psychiatrist she agreed to try and treat me as if I have it. I've tried a variety of medications and nothing has helped so far. I tried Adderall, up to 36mg

Can you have withdrawl ?
I posted earlier as I am new to all ADHD and stimulants. I was taking ADHD meds for a couple months. Trying low doses of concerta, and most recently adderall. Adderall is making me too anxious, so I stopped yesterday. Yesterday, I felt like crap. I slept most of the day away. Keep in mind, I was up late

Diagnosed at 40. Advice needed please :(
Hello everyone! I am a 41 year old female, and was recently diagnosed with ADHD-inattentive type at age 40. For the past few months, I've been trying to find the right medication to help me focus. My doctor had me try Concerta and Adderall. 10MG of Adderall did not work much, so she bumped it to 20mg

My first day of Adderall XR
My doctor just started me on 15 mg of
Adderall
XR
which I took my first dose of this morning. I took it with food because I read that some people have an unpleasantly intense experience on an empty stomach. So far, the focus level I'm experiencing is amazing, I am less moody, and less anxious.
