Meds stop working??
The Dr put her on 20mg
Adderall
xr and 10mg lexapro for four weeks and suddenly she started getting aggitated and sad. Do the meds just stop working? This isn't her first med but better than the last. Any suggestions on what to do? Can't see Dr until next week.

Help
Anyways since the age of 4 he has been on
Adderall
xr. He is now up to 30 mgs a day and the doctor has decided to add guaficine which is a blood pressure meds that has been known to help children with ADHD. He hasn't taken his first dose cause I'm afraid it may be to much meds for his tiny self.

Adderall after 2 yrs
Has anyone seen this in their teen and be able to connect it to
Adderall
? He also started taking Zoloft (50mg) for newly developed anxiety. (I have spoken with docs,counselors, school admins and am getting conflicting info). Looking for any info that might help.

Adderall question
I have been taking
Adderall
for 2 years now; it used to work but am having terrible time focusing again. Can your body build a resistance to this drug? Also, I can take an
adderall
and fall asleep no problem, i can also have 2 cups of caffiene and an
adderall
and fall asleep--is this normal?

The Ups & Downs of dealing with my son who has ADHD
We have been on the medicine roller coaster for awhile: he was first prescribed
adderall
at the lowest dosage and that was horrible, he lost 10lbs in one week time span because it would knock him out after 20 minutes of it being in his body, or if he managed to stay awake he was in like a zombie state

WOW! NO BELLS & WHISTLES?
I was put on ER
Adderall
and was quite surprised at how the medication worked so subtlely. I was expecting to feel like the zombie that I've seen kids through the years turn into when administered stimulants for ADHD.

Embarassed
Whenever I go to a physician or any kind of medical place, ie; exray, lab or any type I have never been to before, I find when they want a list of current meds, I leave out the
adderall
because I’m embarrassed being an adult and having been dx with adult adhd approximately ten years ago.

Medication Success with anxiety?
Our daughter has been on
Adderall
for ADHD until this week when her Dr made the decision to switch it to Strattera due to the stimulant making her ticks and behavior worse.

Frustrated :(
He is currently on
Adderall
XR (which i think is causing the Mood swings) and Tenex. He has been on regular
Adderall
since age 4 and had no issues. I feel like giving up most days. I dont know how we are going backwards when we have gotten so far.

Work issue
I take Ritalin LA and my son takes
Adderall
XR. One morning I took his by mistake and had a test at work and didn't realize until my drug screen came back. My question is this, am I offered any protection under the American Disability Act? Thanks!

Help with Strattera??
He is now 13 and, like many of your kids, had poor results on various stimulants (Ritalin,
Adderall
, Vyvanse). For years while on stimulants our son was highly irritable, had episodes of rage, hallucinations, etc.

Adderall v Ritalin
What are the thoughts on Addereall v. Ritalin. Looking for the most effective, but is it cost effective? What do these cost and do they work the same?

My kids the one no one likes :(
Some meds we’ve tried:
Adderall
- made his OCD worse. Took him off. Strattera- didn’t work. guaffacine (sp) seemed to stop working so we took him off. He takes Zoloft for OCD. Now I thinking we should try more meds. My kid is very social and loves people. They just hate him. I don’t know what to do.
