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

Lamotrigine
I contracted VE back in 2019 which damaged that part of my brain which primarily to memory. I have recently changed medication from Keppra to Lamotrigine. Has anyone experience of the latter in terms of side effects?

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

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

Increasing lamotrigine dose
Hi I am new to posting on here , so a little background. My husband had his first seizure in August 2019, out of the blue no family history and never been ill in his life. Looking back there had been a couple of “strange” episodes over the year but nothing that would suggest epilepsy. He ended up in

Epilepsy - Getting it under Control?
My partner suffered encephalitis in June 2020. Lots of focal (front lobe) seizures while in hospital but seizure-free at discharge a month later. However seizures came back 2 months later. For over a year we have dealt with initially very frequent seizures. It’s now down to 1-2 every ca. 2 weeks. He

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.

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.
