Hello to All
I've just started taking 10mg
Adderall
XR and the effects have already faded. So sad cause they felt awesome when they first started working. This waiting for things to move along to get help is really hard because I've gotten so much worse in the last 7 months.

Struggling into a new self image
I've been taking
Adderall
off and on for years, since about 2006. I went ahead and took it on the recommendation of my doctor who casually mentioned that she has to be careful about it, since it's an appetite suppressant.

Adderall- first day
Today my son took 5mg of
Adderall
for the first time. When he came home from school, he says his hands were shaky in school and he felt hyper. He also says he was throwing up. Then , around 2pm he felt tired and sleepy. Is that normal?

Problems with Adderall rebound
My son is on 10 mg of
Adderall
, which seems to have stopped working. When we went up to 12.5 it did not help at all. Back down to 10, but lots of behaviors like uncontrolled laughing and inappropriate noises. Anyone else experience this? is it rebound effect?

8 year old boy with ADHD
After being put on
Adderall
5mg daily he was then upped to 10 and a 2nd dose of 5 in the afternoon, my son is still having issues. Daydreams a ton, has to be told several times a day by his teacher reminders on what the task is at hand, and now at home tantrums galore.

Can you share your experience with Abilify?
Ritalin worked ok for couple mos but it stopped.We are searching for new meds.Yesterday he started
Adderall
, but he did not like it ( shaky hands, filling hyper ) His doctor wants to go back to Ritalin combined with Abilify. I am traumatized by those meds. How did your kids react to it?

Non-Stimulants
Hi all, So my 10 year old son has not been doing well on Focalin and he didn’t do well on
adderall
either. Both medication I feel add anger and aggressive behaviors. His emotions are all over the place and very depressed at time.

New
His meds were changed to
Adderall
10 mg and he again became very emotional. Both meds seemed to help on his ability to focus in school and he was doing a better job keeping his hands to himself. I just couldn't have him so emotional.

I want my boy back :(
Today we starting
Adderall
10mg. I am very scared. I don't want our hopes to get crashed again. I understand , finding a right meds is a process , but still... Doctor suggested Vayarin and/or L-theanine as supplements. Any thoughts about that? It is super hard to be a mom of an ADHD child.

Anxiety meds with ADHD
I'm finding that my anxiety is only improving a tiny bit on my
adderall
, and I'm wondering if a medicine specifically for anxiety would help. I cannot get to sleep because my brain is buzzing constantly, and every noise wakes me up.

Help finding Psych who’ll prescribe
He had a lot of experience and used a lot of common sense, never had a problem increasing my meds (mix of
Adderall
IR And XR), stuff like that. The new doc seemed at first to be pretty good.

Feeling defeated
My 9 year was on
Adderall
Xr at that time and tenex. We realized that the xr was giving him mood swings so we went back on the regular
Adderall
. The last 2 months my sons attitude has changed he has gotten very nasty and getting in trouble with other kids on the bus and in school at daycare.

Lab Results: Amphetamines Skewing Results?
Interesting thing to note, my TSH had dramatically dropped from 2.5 to barely in range (around 0.50) after beginning
Adderall
, currently on Vyvanse. Drop in TSH did not in return increase FT4. For those with normal HPA axis, log TSH vs FT4 on a graph shows an inverse relation, a decreasing curve.

ADHD Medication Trial
Would love some feedback from others about experiences with irritability (seems to be a side effect we're experiencing), and thoughts on ritalin vs
adderall
(and extended vs. immediate release).

Hi guys!
. 👍 I’m currently on a rather low dose of
Adderall
, and it works pretty well ... when I remember to take it. My school and work schedule is different every day of the week, so it’s hard to pin medication to another activity, like eating lunch.

Newly diagnosed 26 year old mother
He put me on 10mg of
adderall
, twice a day for 15 days. Then I up the dose another 15 days. My mind is blown with how, well, quiet my brain is. I can relax. I don't feel tension in my body anymore, and it feels like I'm full of endorphines.
