Sleepy From Adderall
Hey Everyone, First post on CHADD. I'm a 42 year old male, first diagnosed with ADHD about 2 years ago. In researching ADHD, working with various mental health professionals, and in reflecting upon my life, it is quite clear that I've had this my entire life, despite only recently being diagnosed. Anyway

Just started meds and Wow
We began medication (
focalin
xr
) for my 8 year old about a month and a half ago. Oh my goodness he’s a whole new kid. He’s still the hilarious, quirky, imaginative kiddo. We’ve had a few side effects that seem to minimizing but we are powering through.

Strattera not working. Guanfacine?
Hi parents! My son (4th grader) has been on this slow progress and trial of Strattera and he has reached his max dose for his body weight. His MD suggested to try Guanfacine next. Appointment is this Thurs. A little background on what he has used. He has tried adderall (turned him into a zombie and

Natural ADHD Supplements?
I recently stopped taking Adderall XR 10mg which had worked well but made me more irritable. Are there any good supplements one can take to help with ADHD?

Stimulant/Adderall crash
I have been on Adderall XR for 3 months and things have gone well, but I have noticed a recurring theme. About once a week I will suddenly be mentally exhausted and grumpy even with my medication and the only thing that fixes it is about a 12 hour sleep. Every day prior to this I feel fine and hugely

Can I mix Adderall XR with Yoo-hoo to get child to take it?
I was thinking about opening the capsule into a medicine cup and just adding a few squirts of Yoo-hoo so he will drink it down. Will this be ok?

Directed attention Exhaustion and Adderall XR
My son has recently started Adderall XR and has said he gets tired and exhausted after focusing on tasks and assignments that aren't very interesting. Is this fairly common and what can be done to minimize this exhaustion? Thanks!

My Struggle
I never realized how significant of an impact ADHD has had on my life up until a month or so ago. I was diagnosed with ADHD (Hyperactive and Inattentive) when I was 5 or 6 years old. I never had much of an understanding of it and I’ve only just begun to learn. From the age of 5-18 I had been on several

I have been in a huge funk lately and can’t do what I rly need to do. Am I depressed or just burnt out? Antidepressants or change ADHD meds?
Lately my college classes have drained all my energy, and I feel so burnt out. I keep pushing everything off until I have no choice, and the only choice left is to push myself really hard to get my assignments or studying done in time. I am below the passing grade in one class, and my exam is on Tuesday

ADHD 6 year old trouble going to sleep- keeps calling me and getting up
Hi, I’m wondering if anyone else is going through similar issues. My 6 year old girl with ADHD has a difficult time going to sleep (and makes things extremely stressful for our house). She takes only 5 mg focalin at 7am so it must wear off by 7:30pm. Her brain just will not relax. She can’t just lay

My first day of Adderall XR
My doctor just started me on 15 mg of Adderall XR which I took my first dose of this morning. I took it with food because I read that some people have an unpleasantly intense experience on an empty stomach. So far, the focus level I'm experiencing is amazing, I am less moody, and less anxious. I wonder

Focalin?
Hello! My son Gabriel is 5 turning 6 in December. He has ADHD and ODD. We’re having a really hard time starting and getting into the school building. Constant cussing and screaming. His pediatrician prescribed his focalin that we will start this weekend. Has anyone used this medication? I’m so scared

Focalin and aggression
My 7 year old son started with 5 mg of Focalin (recently changed from 30mg of Quillichew). He seemed to not be focusing well on it so after a week we uped the meds to 10mg. We have gradually been noticing more aggressive behavior with tantrums for no reason. This really didn’t happen on the Quillichew
