Switching from Ritalin to Adderall
Has anyone switched from Ritalin to Adderall and seen improvement? My 6 year old son has been on Ritalin 5mg (2x per day) with not much improvement in focus and impulse control. A day here and there at best. His dr. Has suggested switching to Adderall 5mg to see if it makes a difference. Any success

Son’s 1st day on Quillivant
My son is 7(8 in less than 6wks) and I noticed when he was 3/4 that he was ALWAYS extremely hyper, never still, constantly talking, no activity kept him interested for long, usually did several things at once...often not completing one. Once he was upset, it took a lot to bring him down and his emotions

Frustrated :(
He is currently on
Adderall
XR
(which i think is causing the Mood swings) and Tenex. He has been on regular Adderall since age 4 and had no issues. I feel like giving up most days. I dont know how we are going backwards when we have gotten so far.

Adderal and stroke
I recently had a stroke which neurologists attribute to Adderall generic's constriction of blood vessels. What non-amphetamine meds are effective for ADD?

I’m a mom of an ADHD and ODD child!
Hello everyone! My son is 6 turning 7 this Thursday Dec 7. He was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. What can I say! Me and my husband are doing it alone and believe me is an emotional wreck. We have him on Adderall, we didn’t want him to take pills but now is a must. I hurt everyday and I wonder if I’m doing

New to the site
Hi there, I’m new to the site. My son was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 3...at the age of 6 we tried Vyarin (it really didn’t do much of anything IMO) last year we decided to begin medication. It has been a long year and I’m trying to be patient, but it feels like we are on the wrong path. He takes

To seek a 2nd opinion or not
So my son was dx with adhd and on focalin xr and had an amazing week at school. He has definite opp defiant behavior too which isn’t great at home yet. Do I stick with my current psychiatrist who is amazing tho not a great rapport with son. Or do I go for a 2nd opinion with a psychiatrist who is hard

Trileptal-Any Experience?
We just left my 7yr old’s prescribing doctor and he has decided to add the medicine trileptal to his schedule in addition to the Focalin and Focalin XR that he already takes? Anybody had any experience good or bad with this med?!

7yr old on Focalin but something has to change
My youngest boy struggles tremendously with his ADHD and the effects it has on him. He has taken guanfacine and tenex in the past. The guanfacine had no effect on him and the tenex made him an emotional mess! We have had him on Focalin XR during the day and Focalin in the evening. He has been taking

Adderall after 2 yrs
My 16 yo son has been on 30mg of Adderall for two years. He does NOT take it on weekends or over the summer. He always struggled with some side effects-dry mouth, stomach aches, decreased appetite and sweating. Almost suddenly-most side effects stopped and the grades dropped IMMEDIATELY. Mainly not

Embarassed
Whenever I go to a physician or any kind of medical place, ie; exray, lab or any type I have never been to before, I find when they want a list of current meds, I leave out the adderall because I’m embarrassed being an adult and having been dx with adult adhd approximately ten years ago. Common sense

WOW! NO BELLS & WHISTLES?
Just got diagnosed at 49 a few month back. I was put on ER Adderall and was quite surprised at how the medication worked so subtlely. I was expecting to feel like the zombie that I've seen kids through the years turn into when administered stimulants for ADHD.

Adderall question
I have been taking Adderall for 2 years now; it used to work but am having terrible time focusing again. Can your body build a resistance to this drug? Also, I can take an adderall and fall asleep no problem, i can also have 2 cups of caffiene and an adderall and fall asleep--is this normal?

Dually diagnosed
I am currently taking
adderall
xr
30 mg for the adhd. I'm also taking medication for the schizoaffective disorder. When I first started taking the
adderall
xr
, it made me feel kind of drowsy. Now it is causing me where I can't sleep at night. I had a few nights in between where I was able to sleep.
