Who will help a four-year-old with ADHD and similar issues
They can't prescribe medication (other than
Adderall
) for children under six. I can't wait another two years; my son needs help NOW. He screams, he has tantrums multiple times and hour. He screams at me at bed time that he doesn't like me and to go away. He hits my wife when he's frustrated.

Why do people compare the street drug speed to stimulants? I assume there is a difference and it’s not a clone?
But now, for the first time, you are more likely to find drugs like Vyvanse and
Adderall
in a corporate office park than a classroom. There is something unsettling about this continuing growth in prescription stimulants.

Dr. recommendation in San Diego area?
Treatment: Stimulants (
Adderall
) which I've taken religiously for 99% of that time. My Doctor was recently diagnosed with cancer (apparently late stage), and was forced to close his practice almost immediately. I've worked with this doctor since 1996. It's very sad, but also very scary.

Hello
I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 15 and put on
adderall
but then changed to vyvanse the next year but because of how it was making me feel I haven’t been on any since I was 17 which has been hard because of my lack of focus and concentration.

Hey everyone! I was just diagnosed last month with ADHD at 40 years old. Talk about mind blowing!!! So my meds are still being titrated. But I don’t think I understand the process. Started with 10mg IR once a day. Felt great in the morning after 1 hour and 20 mins but INSANE by 12 o’clock. Dr. switched

Battling Anxiety all my life....started with OCD....Now GAD
I was put on a SSRI, Clonopin, Ambien, and later,
Adderall
and Gabapentin. I have tried numerous times to stop these medications. I have successfully stopped Zoloft. I am upset at the practitioners who did not tell me about the physical dependency the benzos carry with them.

8 yo son with terrible insomnia on Adderall XL
My son has been on
Adderall
XL 15mg for about 6 weeks, and in past 3 weeks has developed terrible insomnia. He just lays in bed and can’t fall asleep for hours. A few times he has been up until 3.30 or 4am. He takes 5mg melatonin around 7.30-8 and is fully in bed by 9.

I have been in a huge funk lately and can’t do what I rly need to do. Am I depressed or just burnt out? Antidepressants or change ADHD meds?
I am currently on 60mg
Adderall
XR, and even with that large of a dose (plus 2 cups of coffee) I still feel like my ADHD symptoms are unmanageable.

I need to vent!! Please, needing empathy and understanding.
I take
Adderall
and my doctors office policy states that I must communicate every month to refill my prescription. The reason for my vent is.... I DID NOT remember to call on line (website)?...

Newly diagnosed
I have a question about
adderall
. I’m sure I’ll be on a low dose because I’m sensitive to medications. Would anyone be so kind as to give me a heads up about the side effects?

My first day of Adderall XR
My doctor just started me on 15 mg of
Adderall
XR which I took my first dose of this morning. I took it with food because I read that some people have an unpleasantly intense experience on an empty stomach. So far, the focus level I'm experiencing is amazing, I am less moody, and less anxious.

ALWAYS get a second opinion
I used to be on 60mg
adderall
. He said that's too much and lowered to 20mg. Based on what? It was arbitrary. After getting second opinions online and finding a new doctor, I have found out that I am in avery group that metabolizes
adderall
based on liver enzymes, genetics, and a fast metabolism.

Looking to connect with fellow Adult ADHD folks
Adderall
for the first year, which caused outbursts of anger and fury, but I could focus and wasn't freaking out all the time. I find that Vyvanse is more gentle, but this was the first script for it, so my psych and I will have to keep working at it because I still have some anxiety from it.

ADHD, Anxiety, Destructiveness
He takes
Adderall
10 mg XR and lexapro 10mg. We tried 20mg lexapro but it almost made him more impulsive and anxious (backfired on us). He is very impulsive almost all the time and hyper, loud, destructive and so curious that it gets him in trouble.

Impax Generic Adderall
Does anyone have experience with the generic of
Adderall
by Impax? I'm on Vyvanse but I can't afford it anymore and I couldn't afford name brand
Adderall
so I got a generic but I've heard some bad things about it.

Horror Story - The Stigmatization of ADHD
The first question, or assumption, was "did you take too much
adderall
? Today is the 4th and you filled on the 3rd." I responded, "are you sure? You think I took too much of the
adderall
?" At this point I already knew that I was being profiled.

Managing Hyper Focus & Giving Lectures No One Wants To Hear ?? 😊
I’m on
Adderall
and it’s been a marvel. And it also feels like a devilish whirlwind. I get into manic episodes of talking, on & on. My sweet husband is putting up with this so kindly, but it’s hard on him. I also do the Hyper-focus thing.

ADHD Adult with work relationship problems
I'm currently on
Adderall
30mg and it works very well for me but I've noticed that all throughout my adult life I've had a few problems at work.. mainly with relationships/conversing with co-workers and making sure I stay appropriate with anything that I say.
