ADHD "Cured"
I had made a post basically outlining my negative life experiences and how ADHD played a role and I had treated for depression (a symptom of the ADHD) for years and I was also looking for opinions about
Adderall
. I had taken Vyvanse for a few weeks with 0 results, may as well have been placebo.

Week 1
So we finally decided to try
Adderall
XR for my 10 year old son and I just want to know if anyone out there has experience with this. The first day at school was terrible. This week he has been coming home and is just quiet and not responding to anything I ask him.

So we started
Adderall
XR 2 days ago. My son is 10 years old and since we started he seems agitated and annoyed. He stayed up til 1:30AM when he usually sleeps by 9pm. Today was his first time at school while on meds. He had a terrible day.

New to ADD meds but need to switch
I have done some research and I am considering asking my doctor to switch me to dextroamph / amphetamine ER the generic
Adderall
XR which would cost $60 a month. Both medications have similar profiles and work very similarly albeit can work better for some individuals.

Hello! Day 1
Hello out there - our 7-year old son was diagnosed with ADD back in August and we started meds last Friday,
Adderall

Just Found This Site. Phew!
Psychiatrist said she wouldn't prescribe
Adderall
and shamed my prior docs. Treated me like an addict, I've had one pain pill my whole life and never done drugs ever.

15 yr old ADHD son w/Oppositional behaviors
He's on
adderall
XR 10-15 mg/day, tried Concerta & natural Fish Oil route to no avail. Getting 3 D's in classes. He punched a large hole in my wall & had a cursing rage when we were discussing school 2 nites ago. Said when we talk about grades, it makes him even more unmotivated for school.

Post ADHD Diagnosis Struggles
Taking 30 mg of
Adderall
XR a day and seeing a therapist bi-weekly. Both of which have helped, but I continue to struggle accepting the diagnosis. Personal accounts I've read describe post diagnosis feelings of relief. I feel sad, confused, and honestly still skeptical.

Changing meds
My son is 8 and takes
Adderall
XR 10mg. We thought it was helping but I am just not sure it is the right medication. His appetite is poor and not sleeping well lately. Doctor suggested Remeron to help with sleep and appetite? Anyone ever try it? Did it help?

School Behavior and Medication
Is this normal when taking
Adderall
? Should I call the doctor to change the med again or give it a few more days? Medication is new journey for us but especially my little guy. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Medication change
Adderall
is in with opioid, class II list, of which I was on for 14 years. Initially got on it for social anxiety, stuttering, finding words, energy, organization, concentration, but had to get off "cold turkey". Doc prescribed Lexapro.

New to ADHD
My second grader just started
Adderall
for primarily inattentive ADHD. I’ve been questioning his focus for a couple of years now; last fall he started karate partly to build focus skills. While he has made progress, he is starting to really struggle in school, which led me to take this step.

6 year old first week on meds
He was prescribed
Adderall
over the summer so we decided this would be the week we would start. We used the weekend to observe because we didn't know what to expect.

Acceptable side effects
We first tried
Adderall
- she seems to have had some gains at school but she lost weight (she is already tiny) and said that it made her feel sick. With dosages over 5mg she became a zombie. We moved to Vyvanse this week.

Jobs that suit inattentive type
Adderall
and Vyvanse had to many side affects such as anxiety and aggression. I’m in my mid fifties now struggling with menopause as well. What a disastrous combination. I’ve had three jobs in the past two years that I’ve quit due to anxiety.
