Medication change
Here in Florida/US, laws changed. Adderall is in with opioid, class II list, of which I was on for 14 years. Initially got on it for social anxiety, stuttering, finding words, energy, organization, concentration, but had to get off "cold turkey". Doc prescribed Lexapro. On day 2, I slept 20 of 24

Help with 12yr old son and school/home work!
My son is 12 years old, he is a 7th grader and we are struggling with his grades. Im trying as much as I can to help him, but also trying to make him responsible for his own grades. He is currently on Focalin XR, I've been considering CBD oil but I honestly don't know what else to do to help him be successful

Quillivant xr
My son takes quillivant xr yet I’ve just found out that there’s a shortage once again. Has anyone found a place to get it or any other solution? Thanks so much ahead of time for your response.

New to ADHD
My second grader just started Adderall for primarily inattentive ADHD. I’ve been questioning his focus for a couple of years now; last fall he started karate partly to build focus skills. While he has made progress, he is starting to really struggle in school, which led me to take this step. I still

6 year old first week on meds
Our son was diagnosed in Kindergarten combination ADHD. He is now in first grade at a new school. We wanted to wait on meds to see how being at a new school would affect him. Towards the end of the first month things started to get bad with him distracting other students and becoming highly disruptive

Jobs that suit inattentive type
Greetings, New to this site and happy I found all of you. I suffer with the Inattentive type. I’m currently on Concerta and trying supplements such as flaxseed and tyrosine. Adderall and Vyvanse had to many side affects such as anxiety and aggression. I’m in my mid fifties now struggling with menopause

Metabolizing XR quickly
Does anyone have a child quickly metabolizing
adderall
XR
? I thought it was supposed to last 6-8 hours but my 80 pound daughter metabolizes 10XR in less than 6 hours requiring another dose of quick acting after school or worse (because she has no appetite) another extended release.

Acceptable side effects
We are in the process of finding the right medication and dosage for my 9 year old daughter. We first tried Adderall - she seems to have had some gains at school but she lost weight (she is already tiny) and said that it made her feel sick. With dosages over 5mg she became a zombie. We moved to Vyvanse

Help me analyze day 1 on Adderall
Today was day one on medication -
Adderall
XR
10 mg. I'm not sure how it went!!! I need help with analyzing this... She took it while I was at work and I got home about 2.5 hours later. I find her a bit wild-eyed. She can be moody, but was definitely in an intense and pissy mood.

Methylphenidate SR (extended release Ritalin) How long until I know if it works?
I was diagnosed back in June. I started off by taking Vyvanse and worked all the way up to 70mg, I liked it. I never experienced euphoria on it. No bad side effects. However, I only got about 5ish hours out of it. I asked my doc about dexamphetamine (I phrased it vyvanse without the lysine) but I was

I need my adderall, but NJ cracked down.
Hi, I'm new here, but not new to ADD. I was diagnosed about 30 years ago, and have been happily taking adderall as directed, with no ill effects ever since, except my state NJ has now cracked down on various drugs, and I'm having extreme trouble finding a Dr who will write it for me now. Can someone

Eradicating Adderall Forever
When I wake up, I take my first 20mg
XR
of
Adderall
at 1:00pm, try to push until 4:30 to take my next one, and take my last one around 7:30. I typically fall asleep by midnight and get a solid 8 hours of sleep in before I leave for work the next day.
