Weight gain on adderall
I have been on
adderall
20mg since July 2019 when I was diagnosed at age 47. It has been great for my focus and decreased my anxiety but I have put on 40lbs! I am always hungry on
adderall
and have a history of compulsive eating. Any advise? Should I look at changing medications?

Why is Adderall working inconsistently? Sometimes works great, sometimes does nothing, sometimes makes symptoms worse
I started with 10 mg instant release
Adderall
which seemed to have no effect except making it a little bit harder to study the first week. I felt like I couldn’t think as well. 10 mg of
Adderall
extended release did nothing but two 10 mg pills did.

We’ve consistently upped
Adderall

Sad
I’m prescribed Lemotrogine
Adderall
Xanax Trazadone Lithium And seroquel I attempted suicide and was held on a 51/50 two weeks ago. He (by bf) had to find me in his bathroom. He had to remember. He had to take me and had to see me strapped down and stripped of my clothes.

Teen Suicide Attempt, Depression & ADD - How to convince my teen to get help?
He was seeming to get a little better on zoloft, when we added
adderall
, a stimulant, in an effort to help him with ADD. A few days later, he took 30 tylenol pills.

Finding help after ADHD diagnosis post menopause
Since Vyvanse was not working I requested to change back to
Adderall
and, because the drs in the DC believe stimulants are over-prescribed (!!), they would only change it to 25 mg
Adderall
XR.

15XR adderall/15mgIR
Hi. So i am now on 15mgXR and 15mgIR in the afternoon. I really feel like i need a 20mgXR in the a.m and 20IR in the afternoon. I get 4-5hrs of XR before needing a booster. I feel guilty about it when i bring it up to my dr. She doesn't want to put me on more than 40mgs a day. Which is fine, however

Medication side effects, something else or ADHD symptoms
If anyone has any ideas about whether these could be side effects to the
Adderall
or if they’ve experienced this in their children I’d love to hear! Thank you so much...

Just Getting Started
So, beyond being prescribed
Adderall
, there hasn't been much movement forward in support and direction.

The Power of Our Thought.
Narcotics a couple years ago, Xanax, Ativan, and
Adderall
all a little over a year ago and now Pot 5 weeks ago. I never suffered during withdrawal, but I did self taper the benzodiazapines because of the potential for seizures. Currently I am working on my anger.
