Xaggitin XL Side effects?
Hello. I'm within my first week of taking Xaggitin XL 18mg for ADHD combined time. First medication I'm trying. I've read a lot about how people with ADHD respond well to medication and feel positive effects from the start. Thing is I don't and if anything I think it makes me feel worse. So far I’ve

Having a hard time managing my MDD and Anxiety
I am new here and looking to talk to others. I have had MDD for a very long time. Been on all different kind of medications through the years. Currently on Wellbutrin XL 300 mg and Lexapro 30 mg. I tried to take 450 mg of the Wellbutrin XL but it causes more anxiety. The Dr wants me to start taking

Defiant 15 year old son-Med Management
it is me again! It has been a while guys. I've written before about how the teen years have thrown my entire family out of sorts. My son has been on Concerta since 2nd grade, but it stopped having any impact in 8th grade. He would not do his work and increasingly became more and more defiant. He

Social issues in kids
Hi! My daughter (9) just told me that she feels very alone at school. Sits alone at lunch, sometimes gets teased, often has no one to play with at recess... I read her a list of ways that ADHD can affect people socially and all of the symptoms were things she resonated with. So I feel like it might be

3 weeks on Vyvanse and still worse mood than before taking it, is there still a possibility of improving?
I started with Vyvanse 3 weeks ago, first 2 weeks on 30mg ando 1 week on 50mg. Although my mood wasn't great before I feel more down with Vyvanse, I tried Concerta before, 2 weeks but it was even worse than with Vyvanse. I feel Vyvanse help me focus and be more still but I'm not sure if these side effects

ADHD medication affects hearing?
Hello, I am on 80 mg Straterra generic (Atomoxetine), been taking this for 1.5 months now. Titrated up to 80 mg bit by bit for the past few months. One thing I notice now with the 80 mg is that my hearing seems VERY alert. It's almost as if my ears were closed off and opened up all of a sudden. I can

I was referred from here to an interesting article. The 2nd article I read was a compilation of medication descriptions. It linked to a separate article for each drug. I recently refused to take vyvanse because it is under copyright and there is no generic; I refuse to participate in that system. After

ADHD and Stunted Growth in Adolescent
Our 11 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD almost two years ago and began taking daily concerta, which has helped significantly. However, he was already on the smaller end for his age prior to taking the medication but has found it very difficult to get the calories he needs. We have tried everything

Recent diagnosis, looking to talk about it to someone who can relate
I was diagnosed just over a month ago, it meant they gave me a prescription for concerta and turned me loose basically. I've been looking through material online and reading through "Driven to Distraction" to learn more about the whole thing but I just feel a bit left alone with it. My partner doesn't

ADHD medication and hair loss
Hi, Just wondering if anybody else has experienced hair loss as a side effect of taking ADHD meds, specifically methylphenidate (Concerta)? I've not been on it long (1 month), but I am very concerned that if I were to continue taking it for months/years, it'll do some serious damage. I've already spoken

ADHD meds that don’t have as much side effect
Hi, I just joined this group. My 14 year old has tried both Concerta and Adderall. Her teachers have noticed a remarkable difference in focus when she takes her meds. However she has refused to take them because she said she feels weird when she’s on them-that she’s not herself. I’m not sure what

Vyvanse 30mg not working?
Hi there, I am a 22 year old female studying finance in college in NYC. I’ve had ADHD my entire life. I struggled with school (specifically math), sports, friendships and memorization because I couldn’t stay on task, and I always had so many different interests but often would get bored and lose focus
