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. I attend Church and my faith is important to me. I'm an extrovert but don't have many friends. I have people I talk

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

Hi all, I'm new here. I have a four-year Engineering degree. I never landed a job in my field, in large part due to my ADHD. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 45 because I'm not fidgety. I'm 54 now. I take Adderall XR (20 mg) on work days, which is tremendously helpful for about eight hours; I try to

Extended Release Medication Problems
I find I crash hard from Adderall XR but not the IR. Anyone else have those issues? I've heard some people have problems with extended release medications but can't find any research on it to present to my doctor.

Adderall XR experience.
We are on day 3 of 10mg adderall XR with my 6 year old son. It’s been heartbreaking so far. He’s so irritable and emotional. The sitter says he hasn’t even laughed or smiled today. We are trying to give it a good week, but gosh… it’s hard to know what to do!

Decreased appetite & picky eater
Hi - So my 6 year old son has been on Adderall XR and as his dose has increased we are now seeing a large decrease in his appetite. He is a thin kiddo as it is, so losing weight isn't something he has much leeway on. He's just over 4ft tall and 46 lbs. I've been giving him incentives for eating which

Meds and Marijuana use
I smoked marijuana a fair amount about 16 years ago before I was diagnosed with ADHD and then I just stopped. A few years later I was diagnosed with ADHD and I have anxiety with a bit of depression. I’ve been taking Adderall for several years now, currently taking Adderall XR 25mg twice a day, Cymbalta

Help finding a therapist
Hi! I'm new and kinda lost. I'm hoping someone can please me. We had my son tested last year for ADHD. We received the test results the same week as the pandemic. He is 10 yrs old and in 4th grade. His pediatrician has him on Focalin XR since last summer, which I think helps some days and not others

Focalin XR Parents
Hi All, Looking for some feedback on what to feed my child before Focalin XR 10 mg. He's 8, recently diagnosed with ADHD after a LONG LONG road trying to figure out why he couldn't control his emotions. We've had GREAT results so far, but noticed some dips around lunch time, and variation on when things

Vyvanse vs Adderall XR/IR Experiences
What has people’s experience been with Vyvanse vs Adderall XR? I’m taking 60mg of Vyvanse which is great for the 4-5 hours it’s working but the crash is becoming more difficult and just need a more prolonged focus. I’m leery to even go up to the 70mg. Has anyone had the same experience with Vyvanse

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

What is the ideal dose for maximum medication effectiveness Focalin XR

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!

Antidepressants for ADHD and aggression
Hello everyone! I just wanted to start by saying how grateful I am to be part of this community. The connections have been a saving grace for me. I am also wondering if anyone has trialed antidepressant medication for their child with ADHD/ODD/anxiety. Focalin XR has helped but only mildly. My 7 year
