Focalin comedown
My son (11) has been on Focalin XR for about 2 months (5mg the first month - no effect, and now 10mg). We've noticed that around 7pm, he often can get super down and sad. It's not every night, but it's at least a couple times a week. Sometimes he can identify something bothering him, but other times

The brick wall
59, last diagnosis ADHD here. One thing I'm struggling with is the motivational brick wall that seems to come out of nowhere. My day or week may be going well. Getting things done. Feeling capable. And then out of nowhere this wall appears in my brain that prevents me from doing anything. No warnings

Can I take another stimulant for ADHD?
I was on Adderall for at least 10 years. About a year ago, my MD noticed some twitching around my mouth. She took me off Adderall so that my twitching did not progress to TD. Does that mean I can never take a stimulant med for ADHD or just that I cannot take Adderall? She put me on Strattera, which did

Desoxyn
Hi. I've been taking Vyvanse 70 mg for over 12 years now and it seems to have lost its effectiveness. I've tried other drugs Adderall, Ritalin, etc etc I'm interested in trying Desoxyn. Any experience with this drug from others would be helpful and appreciated. Thank you

side effects of Adderall
hi all, I was wondering if anyone had their child on Adderall and experienced their kid’s behavior getting worse. I initially had my 5 yr old son on low dose 2.5mg Ritalin for 1 week and a half but it didn’t last as long during the school day. The dr switched him to Adderall this past week and my son

Hello I am a new member to CHADD. I was diagnosed when I was about 6/7. I am now 24 years old. I have taken Vyvanse and Adderall. Throughout my years of taking medication my dosage constantly fluctuated due to lack of eating socializing and behaviors. During my junior year of high school I decided to

Side Effects of Adderall & Recommendations
I have been on Adderall 10mg for about 30 days now. It has helped with attention but I feel like I could use a little more focus. I tried 20 mg of Adderall but my heart rate increased. I've also noticed I feel a little more agitated and have some acne on my shoulders as I did in high school. Have

Adderall and night waking
Hi! We recently switched my son from Focalin to Adderall. This is the first time switching from methylphenidate to amphetamine for him. He has always been a pretty good sleeper. Since starting the Adderall he can fall asleep fine but has each night woken at midnight and again around 4am. Not hyperactive

I feel lost, like a fish flopping on shore.
Like my bio says, I was treated for depression for 25 years at least and they didn't work. I finally asked my prescriber for a medication to get me through the holidays and make me feel uplifted for a change. She prescribed Adderall and my life has never been the same. It was like I was finally alive

11 yr old son. ADHD, anger/emotional rollercoaster
My son becomes so uncomfortable early in the morning and often even in the afternoon. He takes Adderall 30mg in the morning and 20mg in the afternoon. Does great at school but gets in the moods at home where he will not listen, says terrible things to my wife and I, doesn't care about anything. Disciplinary

Abnormally Long Adderall Rebound?
Has anyone else whose taken
Adderall
XR
ever experienced seriously long rebound symptoms when it wears off? I started taking it again within the last couple months along with guanfacine on my psych's recommendation, but since then I saw a noticeable increase in irritability.

Meds for DMDD & ADHD
My son was recently diagnosed with DMDD along with his ADHD last week. I was wondering if any parents here have their kids on any medications for both disorders? So far his psychiatrist only prescribed him with Quillivant XR. we haven’t started medicating him yet because we’re waiting for authorization

Has anyone tried saffron?
I’ve been having a hard time finding the right dose for Adderall and it’s been making me very frustrated. My doctor asked me if I had tried saffron. This surprised me because he is a very conservative doctor. There was a very short article in Pyschology Today that said children and adolescents

Vyvanse titration and career thoughts/tangent
This started as a question about medication titration but spun off on a little tangent about my work and career that felt relevant... A little background... After reading an article a (ADHD diagnosed) friend sent me (6 months ago) about ADHD in relationships (relating to this all too much), staring

Maybe I don’t know
well I have tried a few different medications and they suck! I am working on getting my hormones in check as that is what caused my ADHD to get bad. My doctor don’t know why I became anemic so that is weird. So I am on all kinds of supplements which I feel like they might be helping. Get my vitamin

What To Do Next?
Hi Friends, First post here, although I've come back to this forum a few times. I'm at a spot where, even though I know it's untrue, I feel like I'm experiencing anxiety like no one has ever experienced it before (we all know the lonely feeling). I've been dealing with this for about a year an a half

Adderall
had premature ventricular contractions, and a fib. After two oblations I am now in sinus rhythm. Is it safe to take Adderall at this time.
