thoughts on non-stimulant meds?
I think being on
adderall
(I’ve tried all the other ones too) might be overstimulating me. I definitely have ADHD but I don’t think I have found the right meds yet. Any thoughts would be helpful.

Med Check Visits
He and my 2 sons all have ADHD and take
Adderall
XR and Concerta. With our old insurance they just saw their primary care doctor's 4 times a year to manage their medications.

No one ever told me about this when I was diagnosed.
This is also the year I started taking a low dosage of
Adderall
and continued on and off until I was about 15 years old. I am in grad school and now taking Vyvanse, which works great! I'm glad to have found something that works for me.

Can anyone relate with finding a great medicine but can't take it as prescribed?
Taking
Adderall
seems to help curb anxiety and it lifts my mood. Although I can't take it as prescribed. Any body relate?

pre-employment drug test and adhd/adderall?
Never had this issue before as I started taking
adderall
recently (about 5 months). I've been taking zoloft for 5 years. It's a new opportunity for me and I really hope to keep the job for me. Any inputs please? What do I need to know or do?

Commuting against someone’s will?
Adderall
works great for me. Everything seems to be a conspiracy against my husband. Legally, is there a way to have him committed for mental health treatment against his will? He’s threatened suicide many times to manipulate. Any advice

Adderall
) increased irritability, anger, anxiety, aggression, & impulsivity.

Adderall dangerous?
https://www.thestreet.com/technology/elon-musk-has-an-unusual-idea-to-tackle-mental-health I wonder how many (if any) have experienced anger or addiction with
Adderall
? My 9yr old son is just starting with it so very curious/concerned.

Help with talking to dr about meds
I’ve taken
adderall
and other stimulants for focus and it never feels like they work to help me much. Are the medications that work on the brain does like opioids do. I don’t want to seem like an addict.

Breathing issues while on meds
I take 30 mg of generic
adderall
in the morning and occasionally take 7-15 mg after lunch. I more wonder if I need to switch meds or if this is normal

My family thinks that I have Aspergers, even though I was tested for autism and the results were negative
(The antidepressant has done wonders for me, at least it used to but the
Adderall
not so much and I believe that my dosage of 30 mgs, considering my height and weight, 6'5" 305lbs, is much too low and the doctor refuses to raise it.

Used to take adderall in high school, 29 looking for immediate help online
I took
adderall
30mg XR in high school and then allowed myself to get depressed and stopped taking it. I’ve been taking steps to getting my life back together but can’t get out of bed without medication.

how do you know if your adderall prescription is to high?
2:30a and I’m still wired. On 30mg extended release. Took at 7am. Am I taking too much?

Has anyone taken the GeneSight test? What was your experience, was it helpful for your medication management?
Tried
Adderall
XR briefly, but it felt too powerful. When my dr. tried switching me from 600mg Lamictal to Depakote ER. That's when I discovered my Lamictal dosing was too high. Being off of everything, I started thinking more clearly, despite my unstable quickly shifting mood swings.

ADHD and Addictions
I am currently on 30 mgs (which, to be fair is, several milligrams more than the 5 that she started me out on) of
Adderall
XR and have not really felt any benefit from the medication.

False Negative for Adderall
There has been months of these same results and now my dr is basically telling me she’s taking me off the
adderall
(even tho these results worried me and I ASKED for blood work to see if I had an immune deficiency, got a test done for my thyroid, etc.)!

Adderall Compound Anxiety?
I take
Adderall
, and have for about two years now (for ADHD). It is very helpful in allowing me to focus on things, but I find that after I take my dosage (15mg morning, and again in afternoon) that my anxiety seems to peak and I get very depressed.
