CLL (W&W) Fatigue and Adderall
I hope this is how I will feel after treatment and back off the
Adderall
. For now, it feels like a god-send. No work, no pay.

The drugs he should be taking the metabolize correctly are Dixedrine,
Adderall
XR, Vyvanse and for non psychostimulants Strattera or Intuniv. Now I am not sure what drug to pick for him. I have heard of
Adderall
but I am not sure he should have a stimulant or go with non-stimulant.

Introduction
I've been taking
Adderall
extended release and I was having some short-term memories you know the kind of where you can't remember if you lock the door, brush your teeth or as in my case forgot to turn off The Broiler in my oven five times this year.

Excessive worry about 19 year old son
He also takes 60 mg
Adderall
for ADHD and 100 mg trazadone for sleep. He has a high tolerance for drugs so any that he tries, he seems to need a high dose. I am so worried about him I can hardly function. I cry everyday and pray that he will get better.

Vyvanse and Insurance issues.
I've complied and my PCP out me on
Adderall
. Between being off vyvanse and being on the
Adderall
, I've had a huge shift in mood swings, irritability, increased depression, feeling like a zombie and also stomach cramps.

teenager won't eat or sleep
My 15 year old son has been on
adderall
20mg per day for the past 3 months. It has been super helpful in terms of his school day productivity. The side effects have been decreased appetite and difficulty getting to sleep.

Just an update
So we decided to try
Adderall
. We gave it the old two week try, first week at 5mg min dose and second week at 10mg. It did absolutely nothing for him at school, and in fact it seemed to make his hyperactivity and ODD worse. He also was experiencing dizziness and blurred vision.

How long do you wait to call the doctor to say the medication is not working?
We switched to a low dose of
Adderall
on Tuesday. It is Wednesday and I don't feel like it is working well. He is more impulsive in actions and with the comments that slip out of his mouth. Like Oh look Mom does everything for me in the morning and she gets to run around tired.

Hello to All
I've just started taking 10mg
Adderall
XR and the effects have already faded. So sad cause they felt awesome when they first started working. This waiting for things to move along to get help is really hard because I've gotten so much worse in the last 7 months.

Struggling into a new self image
I've been taking
Adderall
off and on for years, since about 2006. I went ahead and took it on the recommendation of my doctor who casually mentioned that she has to be careful about it, since it's an appetite suppressant.

Adderall- first day
Today my son took 5mg of
Adderall
for the first time. When he came home from school, he says his hands were shaky in school and he felt hyper. He also says he was throwing up. Then , around 2pm he felt tired and sleepy. Is that normal?

Problems with Adderall rebound
My son is on 10 mg of
Adderall
, which seems to have stopped working. When we went up to 12.5 it did not help at all. Back down to 10, but lots of behaviors like uncontrolled laughing and inappropriate noises. Anyone else experience this? is it rebound effect?

8 year old boy with ADHD
After being put on
Adderall
5mg daily he was then upped to 10 and a 2nd dose of 5 in the afternoon, my son is still having issues. Daydreams a ton, has to be told several times a day by his teacher reminders on what the task is at hand, and now at home tantrums galore.

Can you share your experience with Abilify?
Ritalin worked ok for couple mos but it stopped.We are searching for new meds.Yesterday he started
Adderall
, but he did not like it ( shaky hands, filling hyper ) His doctor wants to go back to Ritalin combined with Abilify. I am traumatized by those meds. How did your kids react to it?

Non-Stimulants
Hi all, So my 10 year old son has not been doing well on Focalin and he didn’t do well on
adderall
either. Both medication I feel add anger and aggressive behaviors. His emotions are all over the place and very depressed at time.
