First dose Strattera, blah, tired
Adderall
made me a wound up nutcase with huge anxiety. It started great, lots of energy to do the things I needed to. Then therapy made me focus on the things that made me anxious. Spiraled out of control due to the stimulant effects. Made me entirely useless.

ADHD symptoms returned after TBI
Even after the worst symptoms began to subside, I could feel the stimulant effect of
Adderall
, but it was useless for focus. I’m in the ninth week of recovery and I’d say meds are working about 50%.

The brick wall
Adderall
has been a big help to me get through the day. But it's still a daily struggle. Is this brick wall just because of ADHD? Or some childhood trauma? Or laziness? Or am I just making this all up? Should I be taking my meds? Should I not be taking my meds?

ADHD Mom Concerned With Asd
Even recently switching to
adderall
. His behavior and outbursts have not gotten better. He also has trouble sleeping at night. Most nights he’s up all throughout the night. But he still wets the bed. He also elopes when we are out. He’s tried to even leave the house without permission.

ADHD Medications don’t mix well
I find caffeine helps with ADHD but why do I get such a nasty feeling with things like
Adderall
and even non-stimulants like Wellbutrin? Any natural supplements work better?

Qelbree
I have tried Ritalin,
Adderall
and Strattera. Ritalin gave me bad mood swings,
Adderall
made my heart race and increase irritation and Stattera made me super sleepy. I am very sensitive to medication and so my doctor opted to try me on this new non-stimulant.

I feel lost, like a fish flopping on shore.
Just the pure fact of one medication working (
Adderall
) and another not working for me (anti-depressants) doesn't seem to be enough proof. My current prescriber, who I have to leave, keeps talking about mood disorders.

Has anyone tried saffron?
I’ve been having a hard time finding the right dose for
Adderall
and it’s been making me very frustrated. My doctor asked me if I had tried saffron. This surprised me because he is a very conservative doctor.

Adderall

I have taken Vyvanse and
Adderall
. Throughout my years of taking medication my dosage constantly fluctuated due to lack of eating socializing and behaviors. During my junior year of high school I decided to completely stop taking the medication because I felt I didn’t need it anymore.

Socially, Concerta vs Adderall
My psychiatrist has me using Concerta and
Adderall
or Dexedrine (due to the shortage of
Adderall
) on different days. It seems that I communicate better and calmer on the Concerta; however, I feel better on the
Adderall
which helps with my energy as well. Has anyone else experienced this?

11 yr old son. ADHD, anger/emotional rollercoaster
He takes
Adderall
30mg in the morning and 20mg in the afternoon. Does great at school but gets in the moods at home where he will not listen, says terrible things to my wife and I, doesn't care about anything. Disciplinary actions from my wife and I only make him angrier.

Always Fired: idk what to do
I take my
adderall
for my adhd and I am now on anti depressants for my PMDD. Yet, because of how I look as a woman, I seem to be under a microscope. Add to that the hyperactive ADHD, & well, magnify that ten fold.

If I can’t do my job without meds, should I find another job?
I have been dealing recently with the
adderall
shortage again and my work has been seriously suffering. It has been two months since I have been able to get a refill on my medication, and I am so overwhelmed at work and stuck in a constant state of task paralysis and procrastination.

What dose of adderall is your child on?
My son is 7 years old and up to 15mg of
Adderall
XR. I don’t see it working much anymore and the next increase will be 20mg. If your kid is around the same age and on
Adderall
, please share their milligram/dosing. Or did your kid not have the best results on it and switch to another stimulant?
