Newly Diagnosed with Adult ADD
Hi there. I’m new here and newly diagnosed with adult add. I’ve started taking adderall xr and haven’t really seen a change. I still have no motivation and have a hard time focusing and getting off the couch. I would love to hear what other people have tried to help with the feeling like a slug. Thanks

Combining ADHD and Anxiety meds for inattentive type? Please share your experience...
Next he started him on 5mg
Focalin
XR
, went to 10 mg after a few days of no negative symptoms. Went up to 15 mg after a few weeks of no negative symptoms but also not much help with ADHD symptoms. A few days on the 15 mg he reported feeling shaky, anxious and irritable all day.

Focalin XR Generic by Teva - thoughts?
Hey yall, first time poster here. My son will be 8 in a week; he's been on Concerta since last November, but after increasing his dose from 9mg to 18, then 27, it just wasn't enough - his focus and impulse control were better but his emotional regulation was still severely lacking. We bumped to 36mg

Vivanse vs Focalin and Ritalin
Has anyone given Vivanse to their tween after trying Focalin and Ritalin? How was your child’s experience? Was Vivanse more effective as opposed to Ritalin or Focalin? How long did the effects last?

Teen starting Focalin along with Paxil
I would like to hear about experiences of teen taking both anxiety and ADHD meds together. Specifically, my 16 year old son has been taking Paxil for about 8 months which has helped with anxiety. However, he was diagnosed with ADHD Inattentive type and Executive Functioning Skills disorder this summer

Has anyone tried Zenzedi or Sunosi?
I am struggling trying to find relief from excess sleepiness, focus, motivation, etc. not diagnosed as narcolepsy - yet. I've tried Vyvanse, Ritalin, Focalin, Adderall , Provigil, anti depressants, and combos. None have provided substantial benefits. Anyone? About to start Effexor.

Medication recommendation
Any succes with medication that doesn’t suppress appetite or delays growth? My son is currently on a “ medication break”. School will start soon, and doctor wants to trial Focalin, but I’m worried

Figuring out which medication works
Hi parents! My 2nd grader recently is going through changes with not being able to control his emotions. We see this at home and get reports from school that he has outburst when he doesn't want to do his school work. He also gets frustrated when he doesn't get the subject and in turn becomes emotional

Our update on broad spectrum micronutrients
So back in February the bad input house reached an all time high when I had to take my son to a crisis center after an incident at school. Unfortunately, they didn’t do anything to help because he had calmed down and they sent us on our way with a referral to services which weren’t covered by our insurance

Straterra vs Adderall XR
Has anyone taken adderall xr and switched to straterra? I am terrified. I was taking Adderall XR 30mg twice a day and my doctor switched me to STRATTERA 60mg a day. The XR's were working great for me and im afraid it isnt going to work the same.
