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.

Frustrated :(
He is currently on
Adderall
XR (which i think is causing the Mood swings) and Tenex. He has been on regular
Adderall
since age 4 and had no issues. I feel like giving up most days. I dont know how we are going backwards when we have gotten so far.

Work issue
I take Ritalin LA and my son takes
Adderall
XR. One morning I took his by mistake and had a test at work and didn't realize until my drug screen came back. My question is this, am I offered any protection under the American Disability Act? Thanks!

Help with Strattera??
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, etc.

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?

My kids the one no one likes :(
Some meds we’ve tried:
Adderall
- made his OCD worse. Took him off. Strattera- didn’t work. guaffacine (sp) seemed to stop working so we took him off. He takes Zoloft for OCD. Now I thinking we should try more meds. My kid is very social and loves people. They just hate him. I don’t know what to do.

Anxiety
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 have been successful?

Adderall ?
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.

Intro (1st post)
I've been medicated before (
Adderall
and Strattera at different points), and that really made a difference. Without meds I'm doing the best I can to get a good night's sleep every night and get regular exercise.

Dually diagnosed
I am currently taking
adderall
xr 30 mg for the adhd. I'm also taking medication for the schizoaffective disorder. When I first started taking the
adderall
xr, it made me feel kind of drowsy. Now it is causing me where I can't sleep at night. I had a few nights in between where I was able to sleep.

She was on
Adderall
until age 16. My husband recently found out that he is highly sensitive and gifted. This has helped him because he has always been extremely sensitive and emotional. He often, and has for a number of years, felt lonely, invisible and frustrated by my behavior.

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.

Rules and consequences seem pointless!
My 7 y.o. with ADHD/ODD (medicated with
adderall
) constantly breaks our rules! he receives explanations and consequences (loss of privileges, time out, early bed time, etc) but will turn around and do the exact same things, sometimes in the same day!
