Adderall xr and defiance/irritability
Hey guys, it has been awhile since I've posted but I'm back for some guidance. I have a 14 year old son that has been treated with Concertasince 5 years old until about 2 months ago. He was having a horrible time at school and failing every subject. I took him to a child psychologist and his meds were

PVCs and Adderall
Does anyone have a history of PVCs and take
adderall
? I really want to restart my medication. My heart has been rigorously tested and everything has came back normal but I'm struggling w some anxiety about it.

Adderall dosage
I understand that the suggested adult dose is 20 mg/day. I'll ask my doc, but I thought I'd ask her about starting at 5 mg and titrate up to see how it goes. I'm pretty susceptible to some of the listed side effects. That way, I can see whether any side effects develop. Is that the approach that's usual

Long term effects of adderall
Any long term affects of
adderall
use? How can it affect brain in long term? I was on
adderall
briefly and my doctor just discontinued it because of side effects. I feel less overwhelmed and irritable lately. Motivation is better but still low.

Adult Testing
The second provider is hell bent on treating me with just Wellbutrin (which 5 weeks in isn't helping) and keeps stringing me along on the evaluation because I want to be on either
Adderall
or Vyvanse (both meds have worked for me in the past). She doesn't want me on any stimulant.

Starting Zoloft and a new job... when to take adderall again?
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.

Do short acting or longer acting stimulants work better for your school-related focus needs?
I’ve tried vyvanse and Concerta and have found that I never can reach a focus peak with the longer acting stimulant medication- they don’t seem to prescribe
Adderall
or Dexyamphetamine often where I live, but since I have a tried to take meds around my best focus times- 4-11pm, I still feel that I would

Ritalin and or Adderall
I read something a while back that the
Adderall
didn’t seem as bad and was longer lasting. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Alan

Losing my best friend
She only sent me a screenshot about the adverse effects of my latest prescribed medication, which is
Adderall
(a stimulant), for my ADHD. Her photo was joined with a 'you gotta be careful with the stuff you are taking'.

14 year old son starting Adderall
His psychiatrist said that he sees positive benefits with teenagers and
adderall
. At this point, I'm willing to try anything but I've looked up some of the effects of
adderall
, and it has made me nervous.

Adderall is backordered. Any other medications to take?
My regular prescription for
Adderall
is backordered and no pharmacies around me seem to have any in stock nor can they give me an answer. My doctor has not been much of a help through this (that is another story that will be dealt with at another time) but has anyone else experienced this?

Are stimulants suppose to be temporary or lifelong?
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 to
Adderall
XR 15mg and I’m very hopeful it will be better since that is suppose to last me 8-12 hours!

I was prescribed
Adderall
XR and it made such a difference. My husband was especially happy. My question, after taking for 3yrs it doesn’t seem to be working as well. My brain thoughts are everywhere and I catch myself interrupting people (my husband) more and more.

Rant: I live inside a rock tumbler / emotional dysregulation / med process frustration/ Vyvance shockingly $$$$
After 4 weeks on 10mg
Adderall
, I told my psychiatrist it's not working for me except for eating issues, and the days I took 20mg I didn't like how it made my body feel.
