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.

Diagnosed with ADHD, but therapist thinks I might have bipolar disorder?
I'm on
Adderall
right now and I'm finally feeling like the clouds in my brain have gone away. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of situation? Is it possible that my ADHD is comorbid with bipolar disorder?

Initial Side Effects of Adderall for 5 yr. old?
Tomorrow we are going to try
Adderall
. Are there any side effects I should watch out for day 1? Will I see a difference within a day or two? I am really new to this subject and to be honest the bad reaction he got the other day really scared me. I just don't know what to expect.

Cannabis for ADHD?
I tried
Adderall
, up to 36mg (I think that's how high I went, don't quite remember) and I slept less and had a pulse of 100+ but my concentration didn't increase.

Help overcoming kitchen anxiety
Diagnosed with ADHD 7ish years ago (but I just thought that meant I have a hard time focusing and that
adderall
fixed it). For five months I’ve been trying to save my marriage and for two months we’ve known the root of the problem is my ADHD + anxiety (GAD).

Directed attention Exhaustion and Adderall XR
My son has recently started
Adderall
XR and has said he gets tired and exhausted after focusing on tasks and assignments that aren't very interesting. Is this fairly common and what can be done to minimize this exhaustion? Thanks!

How do I recognize if/when my meds are effective?
We've gone through Ritalin,
Adderall
, Focalin, and currently ramping up through Vyvanse doses. I'm trying to supplement it with better sleep and diet, productivity habits, but it still does not feel like progress or improvement in my general daily focus/self-control.

Boyfriend stealing adderall/distrust
My boyfriend has stolen my
adderall
and it took months before I confronted him because I felt like it was me going crazy, being paranoid. When I did confront him he would ensure me that it must be me with an issue/taking too much but I knew it wasn’t the case.

Who will help a four-year-old with ADHD and similar issues
They can't prescribe medication (other than
Adderall
) for children under six. I can't wait another two years; my son needs help NOW. He screams, he has tantrums multiple times and hour. He screams at me at bed time that he doesn't like me and to go away. He hits my wife when he's frustrated.

Antidepressants for ADHD and aggression
We have trialed many different medications including
Adderall
, guanfacine, clonidine, etc. The only class we haven’t tried are antidepressant medications.

Can I mix Adderall XR with Yoo-hoo to get child to take it?
I was thinking about opening the capsule into a medicine cup and just adding a few squirts of Yoo-hoo so he will drink it down. Will this be ok?

Why do people compare the street drug speed to stimulants? I assume there is a difference and it’s not a clone?
But now, for the first time, you are more likely to find drugs like Vyvanse and
Adderall
in a corporate office park than a classroom. There is something unsettling about this continuing growth in prescription stimulants.
