How to stop a 5 year old from biting people?
Our 5 year old has been involuntarily “unenrolled” from 2 preschools due to biting within the last year. Now he’s with a nanny and her 4 year old. He’s still biting or attempting biting at least once a week - she’s willing to work with us on it, but it feels tenuous. (I mean who wants to get bit or

Adderall Shortage
For months now I have been having problems getting my prescription filled and am now using some Extended Release that I had discontinued taking to instead take the regular dose hoping to get sleep (with no luck) because that's all I have on hand. At this point I am thinking about quitting. I wonder,

Success with Adderall dependence and changing medications?
Anyone have any luck changing medications while dependent on Adderall? If so, how did you do it and what if any supplements did you use? Even if it was just quitting altogether, that can be helpful too. I am not addicted, but I am definitely dependent on Adderall. Like many others. The chance to stop

Cutting Myself Some Slack
Wow, I wish I would have found this site 20 years ago when I was diagnosed. I was just loaded up with Adderall and 6mg of clonazepam with no tools to teach me how to navigate . So now I am here and hopefully gain sosome insights in being a better parent to myself.

Thought I was figuring things out...
I had to move my psychiatric care to the VA, after so much difficulty with Moda and then Kaiser. I had been diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 47 (now 48) by a MD psychiatrist. The VA set me up with a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner over telehealth. On our first visit, the NP said to me

Finally getting my med!
Because of the shortage, I wasnt able to get Ritalin so my doctor prescribed generic adderall until I was able to get it. My question is: does anyone know how many hours after taking my last dose of Adderall can I start on Ritalin again? I suppose I can ask the pharmacist but I wanted to ask here first

Mornings Are The Worse Time
I have been on 5mcg T3 for about 2 months and 25mcg of T4 for a little over 4 weeks. I tried 10 days of 50mcg after a few weeks on the 25mcg, but the increase was too fast. I felt great for a few days and then things went downhill and I got jittery, emotional, etc. I have been back on 25 mcg for 7 days

Help with 27 yr old boy w/ADHD, RSD, CPTSD, anger issues
Hi! New poster here. I'm really struggling and would appreciate any advice. My son was officially diagnosed with ADHD in college. I believe he's probably had it since he was a child (around 4th grade it reared it's head.) My husband didn't want him labeled, medicated, blah blah blah. He takes Adderall

Adderall and sleepless nights
Hi Friends, Our 9 y.o. son (ADHD) has never slept well, and stimulants can easily keep him up until 3 a.m. You can imagine how everyone's next day looks! Needless to say, we are on non-stimulant medications (guanfacine, etc.), though our doctor is recommending we try Adderall IR 5mg again. Someone

Pramipexole .125
I have been taking pramipexole for years for my RLS. I was prescribed .125 3X daily. I have weaned myself down to 1 pill at night. Can it still augment? Also, does Adderall affect RLS?

Different manufacturers’s generic Adderalls work differently to you as well?
I started to take generic
Adderall
xr
10mg and I felt very good. One day, my pill was changed to a different manufacturer’s ones and I started to feel terrible. I have a dull headache and I lost motivation and focus. My food craving is back.

PBC/ADD/Adderall/Fatigue
Does anyone take Adderall? I have ADD and in the past have taken 5mg adderall when I needed to focus. Now in addition to that, I use it when fatigue gets in the way of living. I am over 70 with coronary heart disease. My current PCP doesn't want me to take it any more because of my age and CAD. Do any

Does the aggression / physicality really go away? Feeling hopeless most days
hi parents I have a 6yo in 1st grade. And ever since he was in PreK at 4 years old he’s had a hard time in school setting with keeping his hands to himself when getting frustrated, angry or when he’s not able to do what he wants in that moment aka following the school routine. He is medicated. He

For those on Lupron experiencing fatigue…

Adderall in San Antonio, Texas
is everyone else experiencing a shortage? All the pharmacies that I’ve called said they don’t have name brand or generic and I haven’t been able to get my prescription filled for weeks. What is everybody else doing?

2023, you were supposed to be better!
I'm in Chicagoland, playing that annual winter game called "How cold will it get before you break out the 'big coat'?" I am currently trying to remain employed while caring for my elderly dog who is my whole heart. And I am seriously finding the Adderall shortage to be unbearable. I'm unable to get
