Do decreased side effects mean med is not working as well?
She also read that you can become addicted to
Adderall
so now I think she's afraid to go up in dose b/c she might become addicted. I explained (hopefully accurately!)

Methylphenidate SR (extended release Ritalin) How long until I know if it works?
I asked my doc about dexamphetamine (I phrased it vyvanse without the lysine) but I was told he doesn't prescribe
Adderall
to adults. (I'm aware that d-amphetimine is NOT
Adderall
). I could have a form of Ritalin or try a non stimulate.

I need my adderall, but NJ cracked down.
I was diagnosed about 30 years ago, and have been happily taking
adderall
as directed, with no ill effects ever since, except my state NJ has now cracked down on various drugs, and I'm having extreme trouble finding a Dr who will write it for me now.

10 mg of Adderall.
How many days does it take for 10 mg of
Adderall
to work? I read somewhere that it was supposed to kick in after about 40 minutes. I took my first
Adderall
about 2 hours ago and I don’t feel any kick-in. I actually feel nothing. Maybe I need to wait few days. Any thoughts on this?

Where is my mind?
Saturday I started taking a whole 10 MG
Adderall
tablet and found that it seemed to silence my inner voice that likes to say mean and hateful things to me. I took all of my medication, including
Adderall
, and today has been going well. Until now.

Bad dreams and ADHD
He currently takes
adderall
and Guanfacine. He still has bad dreams that wake him at night and in turn effect his sleep. I'm not sure if his bad dreams are related to ADHD or possibly undiagnosed anxiety. Has anyone else experienced this? How were you able to help your child with bad dreams?

Find a prescriber without insurance
Meanwhile, I've run out of my ADD meds (I take
Adderall
). With it being a controlled substance, my prescriber in my previous state (350 miles away) cannot subscribe it over the phone or call it into a pharmacy. I have to see someone in person.

Eradicating Adderall Forever
I've been realizing that I can wake up, go to work at the office, take a 250mg Armodafinil to get me going (though it's definitely nothing like taking my
Adderall
) and be ok. Not great, but ok.

My boyfriend and I both have ADD/ADHD but I HATE his medications
I take Concerta and he takes
Adderall
. The issue is that I hate what
Adderall
does to my boyfriend. He hates it too, but it’s the only thing that works for him and without it he probably won’t get to or through med school and he will make an amazing doctor I my opinion.

Help me analyze day 1 on Adderall
Today was day one on medication -
Adderall
XR 10 mg. I'm not sure how it went!!! I need help with analyzing this... She took it while I was at work and I got home about 2.5 hours later. I find her a bit wild-eyed. She can be moody, but was definitely in an intense and pissy mood.

Metabolizing XR quickly
Does anyone have a child quickly metabolizing
adderall
XR? I thought it was supposed to last 6-8 hours but my 80 pound daughter metabolizes 10XR in less than 6 hours requiring another dose of quick acting after school or worse (because she has no appetite) another extended release.

Mother troubles AGAIN
I just upped my dose of
adderall
to 20 mg capsules once a day which I'm stopping. I felt great all day until late this evening. I was trembling uncontrollably, limbs hurt and went numb and could barely breathe. I went out to sit by her in case something happened.
