New
His meds were changed to
Adderall
10 mg and he again became very emotional. Both meds seemed to help on his ability to focus in school and he was doing a better job keeping his hands to himself. I just couldn't have him so emotional.

I want my boy back :(
Today we starting
Adderall
10mg. I am very scared. I don't want our hopes to get crashed again. I understand , finding a right meds is a process , but still... Doctor suggested Vayarin and/or L-theanine as supplements. Any thoughts about that? It is super hard to be a mom of an ADHD child.

Anxiety meds with ADHD
I'm finding that my anxiety is only improving a tiny bit on my
adderall
, and I'm wondering if a medicine specifically for anxiety would help. I cannot get to sleep because my brain is buzzing constantly, and every noise wakes me up.

Help finding Psych who’ll prescribe
He had a lot of experience and used a lot of common sense, never had a problem increasing my meds (mix of
Adderall
IR And XR), stuff like that. The new doc seemed at first to be pretty good.

Scared..I think
I've self medicated with
Adderall

Feeling defeated
My 9 year was on
Adderall
Xr at that time and tenex. We realized that the xr was giving him mood swings so we went back on the regular
Adderall
. The last 2 months my sons attitude has changed he has gotten very nasty and getting in trouble with other kids on the bus and in school at daycare.

Lab Results: Amphetamines Skewing Results?
Interesting thing to note, my TSH had dramatically dropped from 2.5 to barely in range (around 0.50) after beginning
Adderall
, currently on Vyvanse. Drop in TSH did not in return increase FT4. For those with normal HPA axis, log TSH vs FT4 on a graph shows an inverse relation, a decreasing curve.

ADHD Medication Trial
Would love some feedback from others about experiences with irritability (seems to be a side effect we're experiencing), and thoughts on ritalin vs
adderall
(and extended vs. immediate release).

Hi guys!
. 👍 I’m currently on a rather low dose of
Adderall
, and it works pretty well ... when I remember to take it. My school and work schedule is different every day of the week, so it’s hard to pin medication to another activity, like eating lunch.

Newly diagnosed 26 year old mother
He put me on 10mg of
adderall
, twice a day for 15 days. Then I up the dose another 15 days. My mind is blown with how, well, quiet my brain is. I can relax. I don't feel tension in my body anymore, and it feels like I'm full of endorphines.

The Medication Game
However, to help him at school we tried Focalin,
Adderall
and Vyvance with varying dosage. On all three he became extremely moody, depressed and angry. The Intuniv does a great job with the hyperactivity but we need something to help him with his focus as he's struggling academically.

Things have got to change
The perscription changed from Ritalin to
Adderall
and something else I can't remember. Really struggling with that memory ha. Anyway I stopped taking the meds. This was about the time there was a lot of talk about ADHD being made up and as a result I stopped taking the condition seriously.

Why isn't Vyvanse working?
The two
Adderall
was by Teva. Where can I get the pink 30 mg
Adderall
? Also, shouldn't I be feeling a difference on the Vyvanse? Too expensive not to work.

Amphetamine for methadone withdrawal???
If you wish to see more info go to Https://opiateaddictionsupport.com/
adderall
-for-opiate-withdrawal-symptoms/ ID defiantly recommended to try it. I was very sick 🤮 and it fixed me completely. Interesting theory that panned out when nothing else did and all seemed hopeless.

ADHD at 50
and started taking 10 mg
adderall
daily last year although doctor says I can increase to 20 mg (I am sticking with 10 mg). Initial phase of taking
adderall
made me very happy and sympathetic. Now the novelty wears off and I don't feel it so strongly anymore.

13 year old girl ADHD new to Adderall XR
She just started
Adderall
XR 15 mg, taking half a pill. I'm wondering if anyone can share side effects, emotional issues (she has outbursts lately and has some anxiety too), and overall feelings of med helping or not helping. I'd like to know what to expect and how best to help her succeed.

Dose Increase Titration by How Much?
Funnily enough, 75mcg with TSH 2.19 had FT4 14.1 compared to 75mcg +
Adderall
with TSH 0.44 FT4 13.3! As if the increased metabolism made the pituitary send a signal to raise thyroid hormones only to get the middle finger from the thyroid! Will see the doctor tomorrow.

Never diagnosed
When my 23 year old was about 7 he was diagnosed with ADD and put on
Adderall
. I have mixed feelings about it. It seemed to work off and on and he didn’t like the way it made him feel. He is doing great now without medication. I just wanted to share about my kiddos to see if anyone can relate...
