Help overcoming kitchen anxiety
32, male, married for 9.5 years. Diagnosed with ADHD 7ish years ago (but I just thought that meant I have a hard time focusing and that adderall fixed it). For five months I’ve been trying to save my marriage and for two months we’ve known the root of the problem is my ADHD + anxiety (GAD). ANYWAY,

Initial Side Effects of Adderall for 5 yr. old?
Hi all, my son (age 5) just got diagnosed with ADHD. Just this week we tried him on Daytrana (the patch) and he developed a motor tic a few hours in and it was really scary. Tomorrow we are going to try Adderall. Are there any side effects I should watch out for day 1? Will I see a difference within

ADHD Jobs & Careers?
So, I’m 27 years old and I have severe ADHD. To give some context as to how severe my symptoms are, I’ll tell you that I’m not supposed to drive without my adderall. The adderall helps a lot with various symptoms, but it doesn’t “cure” me, so to speak. Basically, I still exhibit symptoms and I just have

Boyfriend stealing adderall/distrust
My boyfriend has stolen my adderall and it took months before I confronted him because I felt like it was me going crazy, being paranoid. When I did confront him he would ensure me that it must be me with an issue/taking too much but I knew it wasn’t the case. I got to the point I starting believing

Why do people compare the street drug speed to stimulants? I assume there is a difference and it’s not a clone?
I’m new to stimulants (Vyvanse/Elvanse). Here is an excerpt from the American version of The Guardian paper: In 2014, the adult market for pharmaceutical stimulants in the US overtook the long-reigning children’s market. Thanks to the eagerness of many doctors to prescribe so-called ADHD drugs, every

Antidepressants for ADHD and aggression
Hello everyone! I just wanted to start by saying how grateful I am to be part of this community. The connections have been a saving grace for me. I am also wondering if anyone has trialed antidepressant medication for their child with ADHD/ODD/anxiety. Focalin XR has helped but only mildly. My 7 year

Hello
Hi, My name is Christine and I’m 29 years old. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 15 and put on adderall but then changed to vyvanse the next year but because of how it was making me feel I haven’t been on any since I was 17 which has been hard because of my lack of focus and concentration. But some

What to do when Adderall XR stops working.
I've been taking
Adderall
XR
for several months now and it doesn't seem to be working any more. Anyone had this problem? What did you do?

Started with 10mg IR once a day. Felt great in the morning after 1 hour and 20 mins but INSANE by 12 o’clock. Dr. switched

ADHD, Anxiety, Destructiveness
He takes
Adderall
10 mg
XR
and lexapro 10mg. We tried 20mg lexapro but it almost made him more impulsive and anxious (backfired on us). He is very impulsive almost all the time and hyper, loud, destructive and so curious that it gets him in trouble.

Orlando,Fl
Has anyone worked with a good child psychologist in Orlando,Fl ? My nearly 8year old son has severe ADHD and has been having difficulty with feelings of anger and opposition. A lot of his anger is demonstrated at school and he is subsequently frequently in trouble. He is currently taking Focalin XR in

Adderall and depression med
Hi there- my teen is on
Adderall
20mg
XR
for ADHD and has said for quite some time now that she thinks she depressed and we Are exploring the possibility of medication for depression. She does have a therapist but she’s been completely booked since she started seeing patients again virtually.

Looking to connect with fellow Adult ADHD folks
Hi everyone, It's really weird for me to get on here and not be able to use my actual name, also now seeing other people's usernames, somewhatoutdoorsman seems somewhat non-characterizing. So I suppose I'll do it here. Single male, 37, (god I hope I'm not violating any of the rules). Found out last

ALWAYS get a second opinion
I have been through 5 psychiatrists in my life. 3 were absolutely terrible and didn't know what they were doing. This is very common in psychiatry. The quality control is probably the worst of all fields of medicine. It is a guessing game. No lab work to refer to, no ultrasound or biopsy. It's a trial

I need to vent!! Please, needing empathy and understanding.
I take Adderall and my doctors office policy states that I must communicate every month to refill my prescription. The reason for my vent is.... I DID NOT remember to call on line (website)?...O'yes I do...about ten times a day.....but everyone knows that thoughts come in and out just as fast

I was diagnosed with ADHD earlier this week. I have a question about adderall. I’m sure I’ll be on a low dose because I’m sensitive to medications.

CBD to mitigate side effects
So after about 2 years, my 15 year old has a good regimen of
adderall
XR
15mg. She was not using it on weekends but has started, saying that it's helpful in other aspects of life - like even not getting frustrated by not have focus to clean her room properly.
