Waiting for Insurance Co. to renew Adderall script
My 17-yo son has ADHD and has been doing pretty well after playing with a mixture of meds over the past year. Now it has been a year since diagnosis. I went to the Dr. and got a refill on his prescription and am awaiting insurance review and approval. I only have 2 days of meds left and figured that

Bar exam, adderall and no test accommodation
I’m sitting for the bar exam the last week of February. I have ADHD and take adderall (10 mg 3x a day) but I didn’t get a testing accommodation. Does anyone have any advice for the day of exam? I need tips on how to get through the day. When should I take the adderall to get the most out of it? Help!

Adderall for Social Anxiety
I had a follow-up appointment with my psychiatrist two days ago. I was discussing with him an article I read on treating social anxiety with Adderall, which is a medication typically used in the treatment of ADHD. My social anxiety can be debilitating and very distressing. After taking my first dose,

** Trigger warning** I don't know where to start...
I don't know where to start . Although I'm only 19 I feel like I experienced more hardship than most people should in a lifetime. I guess I'll start at my childhood. I grew up lower middle class so I lived comfortably but was often hungry . When I was around 3 years old I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's

Week 1
So we finally decided to try
Adderall
XR
for my 10 year old son and I just want to know if anyone out there has experience with this. The first day at school was terrible. This week he has been coming home and is just quiet and not responding to anything I ask him.

New to ADD meds but need to switch
I have done some research and I am considering asking my doctor to switch me to dextroamph / amphetamine ER the generic
Adderall
XR
which would cost $60 a month. Both medications have similar profiles and work very similarly albeit can work better for some individuals.

WhatThePrescription
Does anyone else feel sleepy after taking Adderall? I’m on 20mg three times a day and it makes me sleepy sometimes. I can take a proper nap afterwards no problems. I’m also an 10mg Of lexapro.

Frustrated with Vyvanse....
Hello everyone! I was just diagnosed at the age of 40 a few months ago. I've tried a few different medications with very mixed results so far. I recently started taking 40mg Vyvanase with ZERO improvement of my ADHD symptoms (and there are A LOT!!). Anyone have this problem with Vyvanase? Experience

She still recommended we try
Adderall
xr
. But he has not shown any improvement. He is agitated and he isn’t focusing any better. I wanted to ask if anyone has had this experience and what did you do. He did have a moderate reaction to intuniv.

Exhaustion
Hi everyone. This is my first post here. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with taking Cipralex, Wellbutrin and Adderall together?

10-15 mg/day, tried Concerta & natural Fish Oil route to no avail. Getting 3 D's in classes. He punched a large hole in my wall & had a cursing rage when we were discussing school 2 nites ago. Said when we talk about grades, it makes him even more unmotivated for school.
