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.

Anxiety
He is now taking
Adderall
10mg. We have noticed an increase in his anxiety. His doctor doesn't feel it is a side effect of the medication. Had anyone experienced this on this medication? What types of interventions for anxiety have been successful?

Adderall ?
My doctor prescribed me 20mg of
adderall
to help in school, but how do I know if it's actually working or if my dose is too high? I take it 30-45mins before my classes start; like my doctor told me to, but once I'm sitting in my desk I copy the notes, get out my sticky notes and pens.

I've been medicated before (
Adderall
and Strattera at different points), and that really made a difference. Without meds I'm doing the best I can to get a good night's sleep every night and get regular exercise.

Dually diagnosed
I am currently taking
adderall
xr 30 mg for the adhd. I'm also taking medication for the schizoaffective disorder. When I first started taking the
adderall
xr, it made me feel kind of drowsy. Now it is causing me where I can't sleep at night. I had a few nights in between where I was able to sleep.

She was on
Adderall
until age 16. My husband recently found out that he is highly sensitive and gifted. This has helped him because he has always been extremely sensitive and emotional. He often, and has for a number of years, felt lonely, invisible and frustrated by my behavior.

Please help-ADHD medication
His Neurologist prescribed 5 mg of
Adderall
XR. He's been on it for 5 days and has had 2 panic attacks and a physical outburst where he bit and slapped another kid, all of which is abnormal for him. He is impulsive and emotional, but never out of control like that.

Rules and consequences seem pointless!
My 7 y.o. with ADHD/ODD (medicated with
adderall
) constantly breaks our rules! he receives explanations and consequences (loss of privileges, time out, early bed time, etc) but will turn around and do the exact same things, sometimes in the same day!

Violent, threatening outbursts
He is on
adderall
and is seeing a psychologist, but we are really at our wits end. Despite therapy, reward systems, medication, the toll it is taking on our family is overwhelming. Dies anyone have similar experience with violent outbursts and tips for de-esculating them?

New to ADHD and new to this Forum
The
Adderall
has helped that; but, the occasional nap is still necessary. Sleeping at night is almost never a problem. I'm usually comatose within 5 minutes of hitting the pillow, even with the
adderall
. I have long heard of the almost tunnel like focus
Adderall
is supposed to provide.

HELP!!!! Some of my close family members are not supporting my choice to use Adderall for my ADHD....
I have gone trough the testing , I am working with my therapist weekly on strategies and I started 15 mg of
Adderall
as well. The medication has been a huge help and I feel like a normal person.

Swollen Feet, Ankles, Lower Legs, and Rash
I had been prescribed
Adderall
XR for years, on and off, and I know a side effect of it is heart problems, even failure! Which has me even more concerned. I've also been on Methadone at a clinic, for 6 years, at 90 mgs. All my problems started around the time I started Methadone.

Questions about my Meds?
I was given Zoloft and
Adderall
. Yesterday was the first whole day I was taking them and I'm starting out on a low dose of
Adderall
. Once it wore off in the middle of the day I was suddenly really confused.

US vs UK
She went to visit her father in the USA and went on
Adderall
, which suited her fine. However, there came a time when it was not practical to go back to the USA and she transitioned to a local NHS psychiatrist. He started her on Concerts which did not suit her at all.

Depressed
Hi my doctor has me on 225mg effector, 150 XL Wellbutrin, and
Adderall
30 mg 1 tab twice a day. Well I'm still suffering from depression and it is really bad. I wouldn't do anything to myself but I want to die. I can't describe this depression, I feel hopeless and helpless.
