New Diagnosis
I have tried
Adderall
, Ritalin, Vyvanse and Concerta to no avail. They did help manage my ADHD pretty well but I just couldn't stand the neck discomfort. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this and if theres something else that worked for you.

Vyvanse vs Adderall XR/IR Experiences
Has anyone had the same experience with Vyvanse but more success with the
adderall
xr? I haven’t asked my doc yet but is it possible to split the Vyvanse in half and dose twice a day?

Adderall and Sports
My son says that when he plays sports after taking his
Adderall
that he doesn't feel like he does as well and feels like he isn't "in the game." Has anyone else had their kids say this? We give it to him before games to help but I am nervous we are actually making it worse.

Looking for ADHD coach for my 20 year old son
He was diagnosed in 5th grade and has been on
Adderall
and Vivace over the years. He can’t take concerta because he’s allergic. He functioned on meds until his junior year in high school and then he started self-medicating with pot. He was sooo skinny no appetite. Very difficult time.

"Sure I'll clean my room but I need an Adderall"
I need an
Adderall
". My 16 yo takes
Adderall
on school days. If she has to do anything that she thinks requires concentration on the weekend (organizing, make up work, etc), she asks for an
Adderall
. I do often say - you don't need a 20MG XR
Adderall
to clean your room for an hour...

Reaction to adderall change after starting lexapro
I’ve been on
adderall
since 2013, with the exception of breaks on weekends and extended full detox breaks. 30 mg IR 2x daily has been my script for the past few years... since starting lexapro (currently taking 15 mg), I don’t feel like I’m reacting to the
adderall
the same way I used to... like it

do extended release stimulants cause more muscle issues than immediate release?
Seeing dr. this week and thinking of switching from ER Vyvanse(only way it comes) to
Adderall
-not extended release. Has anyone experienced more muscle pain with ER than immediate release? Tried methylphenidate ER,
Adderall
ER and Vyvanse. All gave me severe muscle pain in neck and shoulders.

I’m in 70 mg vyvanse and 30 mg adderall
I can’t function. I feel sleepy. How is that possible? I’m so lazy as if I have hangover traits. I only took half dosage of olanzepine and fluoxetine last night. I can’t seem to get myself going today even as doing physical labor. Having a rough time. Feeling stuck.

Guanfacine- 1st Day
We have tried Strattera,
Adderall
, and Focalin that did not work for him either we did not see any change or made his tics unmanageable. Also might not be the proper timing for him with those meds. Thank you for your support!

Daily Adderall?
I have an
adderall
script to take "as needed" and everytime I take it I feel like a new person in a good way. Does anyone have experience with daily
adderall
usage?

Birth Control + Adderall?
I have just recently started taking
adderall
daily, and I am wondering if people who take low-dose (low hormone) birth control have had any interactions with ADHD meds?

Can you have withdrawl ?
Trying low doses of concerta, and most recently
adderall
.
Adderall
is making me too anxious, so I stopped yesterday. Yesterday, I felt like crap. I slept most of the day away. Keep in mind, I was up late for New Year's Eve the night before.

Natural ADHD Supplements?
I recently stopped taking
Adderall
XR 10mg which had worked well but made me more irritable. Are there any good supplements one can take to help with ADHD?

Diagnosed at 40. Advice needed please :(
My doctor had me try Concerta and
Adderall
. 10MG of
Adderall
did not work much, so she bumped it to 20mg Extended release. It's been a weird mixture of roller coaster emotions. I get focused and energetic, then anxious/ or really sleepy. I almost wish I had never started these stimulants!

Stimulant/Adderall crash
I have been on
Adderall
XR for 3 months and things have gone well, but I have noticed a recurring theme. About once a week I will suddenly be mentally exhausted and grumpy even with my medication and the only thing that fixes it is about a 12 hour sleep.

ADHD Jobs & Careers?
To give some context as to how severe my symptoms are, I’ll tell you that I’m not supposed to drive without my
adderall
. The
adderall
helps a lot with various symptoms, but it doesn’t “cure” me, so to speak. Basically, I still exhibit symptoms and I just have to try my best to cope with them.

Strattera not working. Guanfacine?
He has tried
adderall
(turned him into a zombie and had crash) and focalin (we are holding that because it worked good on him but it’s something he will need when he is older ie: High School so want to save that for those times where he needs it and we would have room to increase his dose on it.
