Sensory overload on ADHD stims?
Tried Ritalin IR (5-10mg x 3/day) and
Adderall
IR (5-7.5mg x 2/day), Ritalin made me really tense, more distracted, and super sleepy.
Adderall
IR- fast heart beat, dry mouth, little focus. Both gave me constant mood swings/breakdowns.

Executive function melt down?
I function better on my
Adderall
but now I have so much anxiety! I'm on a depression/anxiety med already but I still can't seem to get motivated when I know I have so much to do. What else can I do to deal with the crippling executive function freeze?

Does anyone have any experience with Myadayis?
When I took 20mg IR
adderall
2x daily, it caused me to clench my jaw and I’d get agitated when it wore off. Vyvanse causes me to clench my jaw but it works well but just not long enough. Anyway!

Is it really worth it?
Adderall
has been wonderful and certainly explains why, as a young adult growing up in the '80s, I loved amphetamines. yet I still suffer from low self-esteem, trust issues... bottom line.. finding it more difficult fighting my dysfunctional brain.

Looking for some tech help to improve my life.

Innatentive ADD is ruining my life
I was prescribed
Adderall
, which made me a perfectionist to the point where my previous manager made multiple comments about a lack of common sense.. So I changed medication to Concerta which is FAR more tame in comparison, while still working.

Side effects from switching between stimulants?
I switched back to
Adderall
XR for a three days and now am back on the generic XR, which is what worked the best for me in the past (there was an insurance change that had me on the brand name XR, which caused a bunch of unpleasant side effects).

Extended Release Medication Problems
I find I crash hard from
Adderall
XR but not the IR. Anyone else have those issues? I've heard some people have problems with extended release medications but can't find any research on it to present to my doctor.

Adhansia Side Effects
My son was just prescribed this medication due to unwanted side effects with
adderall
and focalin (tearful, irritable, loss of appetite). I will try the meds when we are home all day first to monitor, but would love to hear other’s experience with this.

looking for suggestions for a new technical career
I take
Adderall
XR (20 mg) on work days, which is tremendously helpful for about eight hours; I try to make plans and to-do lists during that time. I have trouble focusing on anything for the first day or two of my three-day weekend, since don't take the
Adderall
XR on those days.

Anybody who takes an ssri along with amphetamine, do you notice a difference depending on which ssri?
I'm specifically referring to Paxil and Prozac vs the rest..the referenced "P" ssris are known to block cytochrome p450 substrate cyp2d6, which is the enzyme responsible for metabolizing
adderall
. Has anybody alternated between
adderall
with prozac/Paxil vs
adderall
with another ssri?

Change Adderall Perscription
I have been taking
Adderall
for 7 years and the first 5 years it was 40mg a day. For the last 2 years it's been 50mg a day. About 2 months ago my doctor moved to a higher-paying postition. He had me on 50mg of
Adderall
a day. For 2 years that had been working great.

Adderall XR experience.
We are on day 3 of 10mg
adderall
XR with my 6 year old son. It’s been heartbreaking so far. He’s so irritable and emotional. The sitter says he hasn’t even laughed or smiled today. We are trying to give it a good week, but gosh… it’s hard to know what to do!

New here - RLS, what else to try?
Adderall
, Atarax, etc.), however, they worsened the symptoms and I had to stop taking them. He didn't really offer other options or solutions...very disappointing.

Medication Causing Hallucinations
So, I talked to my doctor and she prescribed me
Adderall
Extended Release. It was a small dose and for a while it was wonderful. It's helped a ton and I love feeling like a normal person for once. But the auditory hallucinations are back.

Zoloft for 7 yr old
First, it was a huge struggle for me to put my son on medication after his trials of methylphenidate and
Adderall
did not help his meltdowns at all. I finally was able to find a board certified clinical psychiatrist who honed in on his anxiety and suggested either Prozac or Zoloft.

Has anyone been prescribed amphetemine in the evening instead of sleeping pills? Does it work?
When the nurse practitioner told me to cut back to 1 sleeping pill and take
adderall
at night, I couldn't wrap my head around it....She said our brains are opposite of neural normal brains.

Highest Dose Survey
For example, is anyone on here taking 150mg
adderall
, 8mg Xanax, 800mg seroquel, etc? It would be interesting to find out what are the real upper limits of these medications.
