Am I fixating too much? Is it part of ADHD?
Ever since I’ve been taking
Adderall
I’ve been fixating on it so much! I’m happy to finally get the help I need, so happy that I have researched a bunch of stuff on stimulants, non stimulants, therapy, and the stigma of it all.

Mult. Med changes
I am maxed out on
adderall
20mg twice a day. I don't feel focused at all. I will say I get up and get moving but I also have a hard time sleeping. Which I know that will happen with stimulants.

Finding the right housing solution for ADHD
I take
Adderall
30mg XR for the past 10 years (it helps). I also just finished EMDR therapy which was helpful for my PTSD. My biggest problem now is finding the way to generate enough income to be fully independent .

Adderall
for the first time and she is very nervous about it. She was originally on Zoloft 50mg once a day but is now transferred to
Adderall
that she has to take twice a day. If anyone has taken
Adderall
can you share your experience please?

Frustration with 18yo son
Resulting in missed calls with no messages (he failed his drug test for a job, likely because of his
Adderall
). So a few days ago, I sat down at the computer and set up everything he needed to use Google VM. I showed him how it worked, and insisted he set up his incoming voice greeting.

My first psychiatrist did me dirty
He has me on
Adderall
and it’s made my life so much better!!! I wanted to cry because it’s been a year and a half worth of fighting for my mental health! Don’t give up people! Don’t let other people tell you what you do or don’t struggle with!

Adhd+depression +anxiety, advices please!
Then she basically said okay "here is
adderall
xr 10mg" I didn't even ask for it. But I started taking it with 100mgs of zoloft. It makes me sleepy at about 2.30-3.0pm. I was planning to go back to school (take courses) , I don't have that locked in focus, motivation or concentration.

Adult with ADD and high blood pressure with stimulants.
So I went on
Adderall
this summer and while I really thought it was going well for my ADHD I found my blood pressure went through the roof. Anybody else have this and what did you do?

7yo, new meds, up till 3am
His pediatrician, who works with a number of kids with ADHD, switch him to
Adderall
XD. But last night, starting on the meds, he was up till probably 3:00 a.m. or later. I'm actually not sure cuz I had to try and sleep myself. I just let him play with his Legos so that I could get some sleep.

Is my medicine working?
I have been on
Adderall
for ADHD for about a year and a half, same time as I was diagnosed. I started out on 30mg extended release. I was on that dose for the majority of the time I have been medicated. A few months ago I moved up to 40mg extended release.

I have all the tools, but fail to apply them in my relationship
I have all the tools (
Adderall
30mg, anti anxiety meds, CBT therapy, worksheets, reminders, alarms, meditation, working out, better nutrition,self help books, I could go on. However, even with all those tools I fail to apply what I learn and come to understand.

How do you cope with when your meds wear off?
I'm very happy with my
Adderall
XR treatment but am frustrated with my inability to socialize or get ready for bed efficiently after it wears off 12 hours later.

Struggling with coming to terms
I was diagnosed with it and started taking
adderall
soon after. Currently I am taking 40 mg. But it has been increased several times before this point. I am really struggling to accept the fact that the way I think and process things is not normal.

Tapered off Mirapex about 8 weeks ago, new meds causing morning sedation and anxiety. Do I just have to cope with that?
I also have ADHD and I take the Daytrana patch during the day (10mg) and 5mg of
Adderall
before I even get out of bed, like 6am, just to cut through the morning fog I now have.

Did Adderall break my brain?
In my late 30s I wanted an
Adderall
prescription as a way to lose weight, but then it turned out I really had pretty severe ADHD. After 18 months I was up to 30mg of
Adderall
per day, then my blood pressure spiked and my doctor took me off
Adderall
cold turkey.

Morning struggles
They have been recently late to school because they choose the worst time to decide what they want to wear or eat before taking their medication ( generic brand of
Adderall
XR) I've tried everything they tell me to do in parenting classes or even those guides from books but nothing seems to work and
