Inattentive ADD - trying to find right medication - stimulants make her defiant and avoid schoolwork, nonstimulants haven’t been successful
My 9yo daughter has inattentive ADD and we are struggling to find the right medication. I homeschool as well - so I see for myself how the different meds manifest. After daytrana patch (or adderall XR at a different time) - refuses to do schoolwork, is defiant to me and is rude to her little sister

Effexor
I have been on Effexor for over a year now. The past few months and maybe even further back I’ve had a pretty high heart rate continually. Walking around the house it is almost always over 110. I have seen the cardiologist and have had a normal echo, normal holter monitor with no abnormal rhythms.

Need Suggestions for Improving Sleep Behavior
My 8 yo son has ADHD, emphasis on impulsiveness and hyperactivity. For roughly the last 6 months, he has been awaking in the middle of the night and remaining awake for hours. Here's his background: At least 1-2 times per week, he will wake up and remain awake for several hours. Often it's because

New Member with ADHD
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed 3yrs ago at age 49. My Drs kept putting me on anti anxiety or anti depression medicines for years without any success. Finally sent me to a therapist who diagnosed me with ADHD. I was prescribed Adderall XR and it made such a difference. My husband was especially happy.

How do you "break" your hyperfocus when you need to do other tasks?
Hi everyone! I am new to this site - this is such a cool idea for a support group for people with ADHD. I was recently diagnosed but have been struggling with symptoms since I can remember. I am a 29 year old female, and I have read that females go wildly undiagnosed and usually end up with depression

Adderall causing anger or sadness?
Hi, our 5 year old son was just diagnosed with ADHD and we are in the process of finding a medication for him that works. Has anyone noticed if Concerta/Adderall brought on more mood swings, anger or low self-esteem? We feel like there was a very noticeable change once we started med[i]s but want to

Hi I'm new here. How can I help my son?
Hi I'm a single parent of a 15 year old son with ADHD combined type. He is on meds Focalin xr. Some of his behaviors I cannot comprehend or understand his motives or what he gets out of it. We live with my parents who have their own beliefs about how i should discipline my son. At home he spills

Are stimulants suppose to be temporary or lifelong?
When I was on Concerta XR I ended up at the highest dosage and it did nothing for me every step of the way. I then got on Adderall 10mg IR and it was amazing for me! I ended up building a tolerance I guess because it went from lasting 6 hours to lasting 3 hours. My psychiatrist changed my medication

Is it just me?
Hey everyone! I’m just curious if it is just me! I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder back in 2003! Have also been diagnosed with anxiety and PTSD, and possibly ADHD! I have what I call noise in my head all the time! It’s hard to explain, it’s almost the same kind of sound as being in a room

Hot Flashes
I began taking 120 mg daily of Orgovyx last week and am already experiencing hot flashes. I know from my previous experience on Lupron that my hot flashes can be very uncomfortable and embarrassing. My MO prescribed Effexor to control the hot flashes, but upon learning it’s an anti-depressant, I am

Vyvanse vs. SSRI interaction
I'm also taking
Effexor
XR
150 mg for depression. Is this just in the beginning phase for the body to get used to the stimulant, even on the very low dose or the interaction between the effexor which is a ssri and the stimulant causes this uncomfortable side effect.

Adderall and irritability
Hi folks, I've been appreciating reading peoples' posts here, esp those of women around my age (51). I was diagnosed (due to extreme self advocacy and persistence) at age 36. I have the "inattentive/usually overlooked in girls/ bright but unproductive" story. When I was diagnosed, it was a huge validation

How do you cope with when your meds wear off?
I'm very happy with my Adderall XR treatment but am frustrated with my inability to socialize or get ready for bed efficiently after it wears off 12 hours later.
