Please help-ADHD medication
His Neurologist prescribed 5 mg of
Adderall
XR
. He's been on it for 5 days and has had 2 panic attacks and a physical outburst where he bit and slapped another kid, all of which is abnormal for him. He is impulsive and emotional, but never out of control like that.

Medication Success with anxiety?
Our daughter has been on Adderall for ADHD until this week when her Dr made the decision to switch it to Strattera due to the stimulant making her ticks and behavior worse. Problem is, the Strattera cannot be broken apart like the Adderall, and she's never had to swallow a pill before, so she is giving

Help with Strattera??
Hi! I just joined this site, but have been struggling with a son with ADHD for the past 4 years. He is now 13 and, like many of your kids, had poor results on various stimulants (Ritalin, Adderall, Vyvanse). For years while on stimulants our son was highly irritable, had episodes of rage, hallucinations

Swollen Feet, Ankles, Lower Legs, and Rash
I had been prescribed
Adderall
XR
for years, on and off, and I know a side effect of it is heart problems, even failure! Which has me even more concerned. I've also been on Methadone at a clinic, for 6 years, at 90 mgs. All my problems started around the time I started Methadone.

Letting my job know
Hello, I was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD two months ago and prescribed 20mg extended release Adderall to help with the symptoms. Since being diagnosed a lot of the troubles I was having at work, such as feeling constantly overwhelmed, distracted, and accumulating too much overtime, have gotten so

Hi, I am new to this site. I am a 51 year old woman who has been married for 27 years. I am an at-home mom as well.

Adderall v Ritalin
What are the thoughts on Addereall v. Ritalin. Looking for the most effective, but is it cost effective? What do these cost and do they work the same?

Anxiety
My 9 year old son has been diagnosed and on medication since he was 4 years old. He is now taking Adderall 10mg. We have noticed an increase in his anxiety. His doctor doesn't feel it is a side effect of the medication. Had anyone experienced this on this medication? What types of interventions for anxiety

New ADHD mom
Hi all. My son, who is now almost 12, was diagnosed with ADHD at age 5. We were first time parents, and took the advice of the pediatrician to trial meds. They did terrible things for our kiddo at that age, and since we have looked to behavior modification. It worked well for years, until now. Maybe

My doctor prescribed me 20mg of adderall to help in school, but how do I know if it's actually working or if my dose is too high? I take it 30-45mins before my classes start; like my doctor told me to, but once I'm sitting in my desk I copy the notes, get out my sticky notes and pens. bc I learn better

Violent, threatening outbursts
My 7 year old has severe ADHD, and generally my husband and I are able to handle his outbursts, tantrums and calm him down. He is becoming increasingly unreasonable, violent and threatening.

Adderall
I am 19. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was in elementary school. I haven't taken Adderall in over 12 years. Due to my job being a trainer in fast food, I am multi-tasking doing 5 things at once (Taking order, money, handing out food, callouts, listening to two separate people at once, etc.) Well,

New to ADHD and new to this Forum
At 61 years of age, I took a long look at some of my personality characteristics and decided to take a more serious look at the possibility, long joked about, that I may in fact have ADHD. I did a bit of digging for reference material and found "Taking Charge of Adult ADHD" by Russell Barkley, PhD
