I'm a Newbie...A little about my journey..& A request for advice!
I continued but a different doctor switched me to
Adderall
XR
. I have been taking
Adderall
for over 20+ years. My issue now is I feel it’s not working as well as it used to. I’m not sure if it has to do with my age or some other medical issues. One thing I’m dealing with is…always being tired.

Is 5 mg adderall supposed to make you super chill?
Focused, yes, but not annoyed/worried by the things that normally annoy/worry you OR excited/interested by the things that normally excite/interest you? Normal?

Medication Woes
I take
Adderall
XR
and it seems to be giving me issues. I was taking Ritalin for ADHD and Nuvigil for falling asleep at inappropriate times. I was getting Ritalin rage and Nuvigil worked too well in the fact it would make it hard at night to get myself into bed.

ADD & AN AGGRESSIVE HUSBAND WHO BLAMES ME & THREATENS ALL THE TIME!
We have done ADD coaching, marriage counseling, read books, restricted food (to only have him have small amounts that can cause a total relapse), mindfulness, anger management classes and he is on
Adderall
XR
. What doctor in MN can help identify and care for the whole thing?

Well we are on day 2 of the focalin xr 5 mg tablet. I got scared yesterday because he said his head felt weird. But that was on Sunday(yesterday), but then today was his first school day on Focalin Xr and he did great and I could tell a difference already. He came home sat down and did his homework

Adderall Tolerance and Lexapro Issues
I'm currently taking
adderall
30mg
XR
and 30mg IR and Lexapro 10mg, but experiencing issues with both. I've built up tolerance to Adderall to the extent that it is essentially no longer helpful and the Lexapro has completely blunted my emotions as well as my sex drive.

Mydayis effective for Adderall tolerant individuals?
I’ve tried
Adderall
XR
which was like taking a placebo, it did absolutely nothing for my ADHD and I’ve tried Vyvanse, which was better than nothing but still so far Adderall IR is still helps more than the others.

Help!!
We just tried Focalin XR 5mg on our 7 year old this past week and it’s helped with the impulse behavior but it seems to make him more irritable/anxious and more emotional. This also happened with the Adderall 5mg too. We also tried Guanfacine 5mg that made no difference at all. He’s doing fine academically

Anyone taking Adderall help with diet, and also TMD/J?
I really struggle with eating right. Mainly because everything sounds terrible. I’ve been having this problem for over a year and I want to be healthy and feed my body what it needs. Also, I hate cooking so that doesn’t help. I try drinking smoothies but always worried because acidity effects my Adderall

Hi fellas, I’m 15-year-old suffering from ADHD. My mother diagnosed this disorder in me when I was probably 4-year-old. She started recognizing symptoms of ADHD from my behavior. She told me that I was becoming weird day by day. Then she took me to the doctor where he diagnosed this disorder by doing

Adderal again
We are going to try Adderall again. This time instead of 10mg long acting we will try 5 mg short acting with a second dose of 2.5mg in the afternoon to help with a slow taper off. I dont have a question. Just sharing with anyone who will listen because it is all so exhausting and most people in my life

Suggestions with Focalin XR side effects?
Hello my son (6yo) has been taking Focalin XR 5mg for few weeks now. At first it was working great for school and also was still in his system for about an hour after getting home which helped a lot with homework. Problems are that he doesn’t have an appetite until late, I struggle to get him to drink

Hello, I was diagnosed ADHD about two years ago. To truly begin this story I was laid off from working in an ER about 5 years ago. I worked 3 12 hour shifts which was great and I was on that shift for 12 years. Then I went to a 5 day work week m-f job checking in patients at a high volume eye Care clinic
