Cobalin H
I have been self injecting ‘Cobalin H ‘ brand of Hydroxocobalamin for years because I get a reaction at the injection site using generics. Unfortunately chemists in England are out of stock. Does anyone know where I can get it with a prescription or privately. Thanks, David

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

(He has also tried Concerta long acting and was manic) We are pursuing seeing a child psychiatrist for medication management but its a wait to see her...His current neurologist suggested trying
Focalin
XR
20mg to eliminate some of the doses.

ADHD and tics
Newly diagnosed 59 year old female , prescribed Adderall XR 20mg . Have struggled with facial tics (blinking) my entire life , attributed to “nervous habit “. Never knew it was part of the ADHD symptoms nor did any medical provider or therapist suggest that it could be related over the years . While

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

Finally starting medication--what now?
Now she prescribed me
focalin
(dexmethylphenidate). My last year of highschool I was on Concerta
xr
(methylphenidate). It helped, but took a high dose to do so, which sometimes ended up too much.

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.

Frustrations with my psychiatrist/am I overreacting?
I've had adhd practically my entire life. It got to a debilitating point by the time I was 15 where I had to put my entire life on hold. Long story but I'm 22 now and just getting diagnosed and treated for it, and I don't have a driver's license, never had a job, and had to stop my GED because of it.

Son keeps zoning out and giggle
Hi, I'm new here and my son (7 y/o) was diagnosed with ADHD. The biggest problem was that he was daydreaming, very hyper, lack of concentration. He was constantly playing with his hands like they were the toys. And 2 months ago he started zoning out and giggle. Like the emotions on his face changes ,

Terrible Insomnia w/ Adderall XR
Anyone else experience terrible insomnia from Adderall XR? How did you get over it? I'm averaging 4 hours of sleep, unless I take an Ambian, which is not sustainable. I've started taking the 20mg pill at 4am, as opposed to 8am, which after several days has yet to help me get to sleep at a reasonable

First time Adderall XR use- is this normal?
Hi all! After years of putting it off because of fear of doctors/medication I have finally been diagnosed with ADHD inattentive. I took my first dose of Adderall XR (20mg) yesterday for the first time and after about an hour/2 my brain finally felt like it was resting (I guess “at peace” is how I would

Looking for some tech help to improve my life.
I want to improve my quality of life and be more productive. I am successful at work and have done a lot to improve there. I have a bullet journal that I use but not as much as I use to.

Help finding a therapist
His pediatrician has him on
Focalin
XR
since last summer, which I think helps some days and not others. He is the most amazing boy, he has a huge heart, loves sports, playing outdoors. He hates school and has the lowest self esteem ever. It breaks my heart.

Side effects from switching between stimulants?
Hello! I spent the last month on Vyvanse and did not love it. I switched back to Adderall XR for a three days and now am back on the generic XR, which is what worked the best for me in the past (there was an insurance change that had me on the brand name XR, which caused a bunch of unpleasant side effects

Adhansia Side Effects
My son was just prescribed this medication due to unwanted side effects with adderall and focalin (tearful, irritable, loss of appetite). I will try the meds when we are home all day first to monitor, but would love to hear other’s experience with this.
