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.

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

Terrible Insomnia w/ Adderall XR
Anyone else experience terrible insomnia from
Adderall
XR? How did you get over it? I'm averaging 4 hours of sleep, unless I take an Ambian, which is not sustainable.

She recently started taking
Adderall
. Will it help these things? How much will change? I haven’t listed all her good qualities because i’m overwhelmed by the negative ones right now. She is also kind, creative, smart, athletic, pretty, funny. She is committed to me.

Son keeps zoning out and giggle
That's when we went to the doctor and he said he has add and prescribed an
adderall
XR 10 mg. He defenatly became more quiet, he can sit still. But the still zones out, gets up and giggle about something. Like all of a sudden his eyes get wider and he gets excited face. And it really scares me.

Adderall used to work GREAT, now it makes me worse?
I am wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing I have with
adderall
. I was taking it daily February-end of June, (15mg XR) but have been more on and off with it during summer. It used to bring out my best qualities/allow me to focus/helped me with overstimulation issues etc.

help with managing teen daughter's social anxiety
She takes
Adderall
and attends therapy. She is really struggling with her social anxiety with the impending return to school. Her counselor has been hard to communicate with (busy, vacation, etc) and won't likely have availability after school once school starts.

What are some Helpful Unique Study Habits/Techniques
I do take
Adderall
XR and it helped a lot in the beginning of the semester. Basically, I am looking for some creative suggestions to help me focus and/or get me excited to study thus making me more awake and less sleepy.

First time Adderall XR use- is this normal?
I took my first dose of
Adderall
XR (20mg) yesterday for the first time and after about an hour/2 my brain finally felt like it was resting (I guess “at peace” is how I would describe it) However as the day went on, I started to get really weak and shaky feeling.

no one size fits all
I was diagnosed as an older adult and consequently medicated with
Adderall
. The effects of the drug are largely positive, though I think my body has built up a tolerance to it over time.

Adderall
within a week.
