Starting Zoloft and a new job... when to take adderall again?
Hey yall! So I’ve been taking Adderall XR (15mg) and prescribed IR to take when needed for adhd (inattentive). The combo works well for me but my psych put me on Zoloft to get a handle on my depression. We tried wellbutrin which felt like magic but I was getting some of the serious/rare side effects

Inattentive ADD - trying to find right medication - stimulants make her defiant and avoid schoolwork, nonstimulants haven’t been successful
My 9yo daughter has inattentive ADD and we are struggling to find the right medication. I homeschool as well - so I see for myself how the different meds manifest. After daytrana patch (or adderall XR at a different time) - refuses to do schoolwork, is defiant to me and is rude to her little sister

Need Suggestions for Improving Sleep Behavior
My 8 yo son has ADHD, emphasis on impulsiveness and hyperactivity. For roughly the last 6 months, he has been awaking in the middle of the night and remaining awake for hours. Here's his background: At least 1-2 times per week, he will wake up and remain awake for several hours. Often it's because

Feeling confused
Recently diagnosed with adult ADHD-inattentive type. I was previously treated for depression by a nurse practitioner with no big difference in mood and constant daily mood swings. I just saw a psychiatrist and after evaluation she believes I have adhd and my mood swings only happen when I am very overwhelmed

New Member with ADHD
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed 3yrs ago at age 49. My Drs kept putting me on anti anxiety or anti depression medicines for years without any success. Finally sent me to a therapist who diagnosed me with ADHD. I was prescribed Adderall XR and it made such a difference. My husband was especially happy.

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

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

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. 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
