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
My 17 yr old son has tried several different medications and currently on Focalin XR. He started with 20mg and increased dose until 35 mg. When he took 35mg for a day he experienced increased heart rate, so it was reduced to 30mg. However, when it was reduced to 30mg, he said it was not great as when

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!

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

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

Orlando,Fl
Has anyone worked with a good child psychologist in Orlando,Fl ? My nearly 8year old son has severe ADHD and has been having difficulty with feelings of anger and opposition. A lot of his anger is demonstrated at school and he is subsequently frequently in trouble. He is currently taking Focalin XR in

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

What to do when Adderall XR stops working.
I've been taking Adderall XR for several months now and it doesn't seem to be working any more. Anyone had this problem? What did you do?
