ADHD medication and tics
Hi, I am new here and my 8 year old son was recently diagnosed with ADHD. Before he was diagnosed, I noticed that he would have both vocal and motor tics that would come and go. This was on going through the school year. When summer came, we noticed they stopped. We then got the diagnosis and decided

My boyfriend and I both have ADD/ADHD but I HATE his medications
Hi there! I was diagnosed with adult ADHD-mixed type about 6 months after graduating from college. I spent much of my life thinking life was just going to be harder for me, but that’s a matter for another day. I’m here today because I am in the best relationship of my life and it provides me with excessive

We tried 10mg and got up to 30mg. It was like she was on speed. She would talk non stop never letting anyone

Back to school
My son is 10 and has just started 5th grade. He has struggled with ADHD since he was 4. He is also struggling with what I think might be SPD or anxiety. We are treating him for ADHD and anxiety. He does take medication in the morning that should last at least 7 hours, but he is still struggling

Evening Medication
My 7 year old does very well on 10 mg of focalin XR during the day, but it typically wears off around 3 pm. The doctor said that is fine because it gets her through school. Her grades are fine, but she really struggles during her evening activities to the point of falling so far behind that she may not

Adderall & Adderall XR
Now, my pain doctor has taken away my Xanax 1mg & my psychiatrist decreased the
Adderall
XR
to 15 mg & told me to resume the
Adderall
30 mg twice a day. I am not any better & everyone keeps telling me it is just withdrawal. Has anyone else had similar problems?

Meds on weekend?
My son was prescribed Metadate (concerta? Ritalin? Not sure what it is..) because Adderall was making him so aggressive, defiant, and not sleep. I know some people choose not to medicate on the weekends but some meds are better to give on weekends because they build up in their system. Does anyone use

Finally diagnosed at age 50!
And for a few years now I have been enjoying this new perspective, and am enjoying success in a new career thanks to Adderall. I'm here on this site interested in connecting and chatting with folks like me... I'm very interested in the judgmental, hurtful, Labels that get slapped upon us Neuro-divergent

PLEASE HELP
Hi All, My son is turning 8 years old in August and he has ADHD. We are struggling with his behavior in school during the day and more so now that we are unable to go anywhere and cannot leave him with anyone in the family because he is uncontrollable. Doctors have advised us before at putting him on

Need outside views and opinions on the affects ADHD has had on my life, and what I need to do moving forward.
I'm not entirely sure what to write or in what order, I'm out of my element seemingly writing something and presenting it to a faceless entity. I'm 23 years old and live/was raised in Suffolk on Long Island, NY. I was raised mostly by my controlling mother as she left my father when I was 4 and remarried

Do I need a higher dose?
Hey guys and gals, I recently started taking 5mg EXR of Adderall about three weeks ago. I'd say it does help me focus on work WHEN I can actually sit down and do it. It also helps me with tone and voice level awareness, so that I'm not so distracting at work, but I'm still fairly keyed up, especially
