Stage IV Side effects catching up with me
I was diagnosed Stage IV DeNova back in Feb of 2017.. did Dosataxol Herceptin and projeta. After 8 rounds of the Dosataxol I was scanned and mets were stable/sclerosed and tumors shrunk more than 50%, which I was so happy about because the lump that brought me to attention was HUGE and even visible..

Post ADHD Diagnosis Struggles
Taking 30 mg of
Adderall
XR
a day and seeing a therapist bi-weekly. Both of which have helped, but I continue to struggle accepting the diagnosis. Personal accounts I've read describe post diagnosis feelings of relief. I feel sad, confused, and honestly still skeptical.

Changing meds
My son is 8 and takes
Adderall
XR
10mg. We thought it was helping but I am just not sure it is the right medication. His appetite is poor and not sleeping well lately. Doctor suggested Remeron to help with sleep and appetite? Anyone ever try it? Did it help?

22 diagnosed with IRBBB?
Hi I’m 22 years old and I went to the ER recently because I thought I was having a heart attack. They drew blood and did an EKG and took x-rays. I was diagnosed with an Incomplete Right Bundle-Branch Block and the doctor kept saying it could be of a “normal variant”. I haven’t gone to get it more thoroughly

School Behavior and Medication
Neuro pediatrican changed the med to
Adderall
XR
10mgs. He's been on this med for 5 days. He was good for a few days but the behavior has started to pick up again throwing things basically flipping his lid. He is crying and screaming when he's upset or frustrated.

ADHD "Cured"
I had made a post basically outlining my negative life experiences and how ADHD played a role and I had treated for depression (a symptom of the ADHD) for years and I was also looking for opinions about Adderall. I had taken Vyvanse for a few weeks with 0 results, may as well have been placebo. After

I am taking 10mg at
adderall

. All I can say is: Life. Changing. (!) Next step is formal diagnosis with a neurological examination. What is that like? What can I expect? Thank you! I don’t want to worry myself to death over it 😅

adderall tics and risperidone
We have been through so many different meds. Currently trying adderall 20 mg (13 yrs old) but she gets tics. So her Psychiatrist prescribed risperidone to take at night (1 mg) which has not helped with her tics but doesn help her to fall asleep. I feel we should try something else as this isn't doing

Vyvanse doesnt work everytime. Just me?
I recently got put on vyvanse for the first time in my life. I have always had ADHD but managed just fine up until graduate school. I have found that sometimes vyvanse works WONDERFULLY (30mg) but sometimes it doesnt work at all! Is this just me? Does any one else experience this? Previous to this

Just Found This Site. Phew!
Update: The post below is older but I wanted to revisit. I'm feeling better and somewhat on track. Zoloft 150 and Welbutrin 150 split, 75 early morning and 75 early afternoon. Just had to up from 100 Zoloft to 200 because Im feeling depressed but the Wellbutrin and Zoloft combo helps me stay more organized

Do decreased side effects mean med is not working as well?
My 13 year old has been taking
Adderall
XR
10 mg for a month. It has clearly been working as she has straight A's right now - which was not the goal and is pretty outrageous! We've been using a little rating scale I found and it seemed the 10 mg was working really well.

Medication stopped working after two weeks?
Hello Support team (Yes, you all are), My daughter is currently on Focalin XR which was increased in dosage, and started Guanfacine about 3-4 weeks ago. When the guanfacine was started, it was almost night and day. We had tons of great reports from school, she was making great progress at home. Fast

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
