adderall

Avatar n tn ve taken him off of it because of side effects; but we see mood swings, anger, depression, jealousy, angry words coming back once he was off of it, what would the next medication suggestion possibility be to replace it. He's on Adderall for ADHD but the above came back when he was on nothing, between Tenex and Adderall. He is five which complicates things.
731081 tn?1256283166 Hey, I know what you mean, I starting taking adderall a lot a year ago and when I would come off it, I had the worst anxiety, depression, mood swings, heart pain/racing heart, etc. I'm sure you know about that. Like everyone else said, the best thing you could do is get active in something else. If you like the adrenaline rush and energy of adderall maybe you can find it in a healthy outlet, some sort of activity or sport.
7297821 tn?1390603432 I used to take adderall about 6 years ago ( not prescribed, solely for energy..) I took it for about a year and when I stopped I had 0 energy and mood swings from ****... I can't say how it really was because I started taking pain pills on top of/after quitting the adderall... I have no experience with subs..
Avatar n tn very motivated at times but moody , not sleeping , and so many mood swings and side effects. It makes him very tired at times and lay in bed all day. Could some of what he is dealing with be a side effects from coming off the prozac? How do you know what is what? Since back on adderall he's a rollercoaster of side effects. OK..what is my point.....I would like him to go off all the meds for a while to see....(mothers intuition).he can always go back on or try something else....
Avatar f tn My son is 6 and is also diagnosed with autism at first they said he was adhd and bipolar but just recently they changed that diagnoses to just autism they said there was no need for a adhd diagnoses because most autistic kids also have all the adhd symptoms as well.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with both ADD and hypothyroidism about 8 month ago at the age of 20. I currently take Levothyroxine 88mcg(μg) in the morning and 2 doses of Adderall (instant release, not XR) 20mg - one in the morning before classes and the second one whenever I need it depending on my classes that day or things I need to work on. I also later added Celexa 20mg which helped a lot with the anxiety and mood swings - especially from the "crash" of the Adderall.
Avatar f tn I KNOW depression, as I have had it for the past year (of a year and a half on adderall.) I know mood swings, but this was just kind of out of nowhere. Is this normal to experience? If so, how long does it last? Any advice is sought and welcomed! Oh, also, I was taking 50mg of zoloft and I upped it to 100mg three days before detox, knowing that depression was possibly going to be a factor.
Avatar f tn The dex has been great for Improving my focus, has stopped my excessive day dreaming ( I used to walk around with my head phones in and dance and day dream for hours and hours) has improved my work life and I am actually organised for the first time in my life.
Avatar f tn He has been on all kinds of meds to help with severe anxiety, depression, anger, mood swings and then the latest was the ADD he was told he has. This medication is not working for him. He is very thin to start with but was able to go from 140 and 6ft with my help 5 years ago and now after adderall he is actually down to 135. He will clean the stupidest things for hours like doors or the sink and only the sink.
Avatar m tn ) They prescribed so many different medicines that I ended up having mood swings and quitting them. Maybe not my best decision, although mood swings in an already hormonal high school girl is a recipe for disaster. Anyway, I began to notice that my breathing problems were the worst and most noticeable on days that I took Adderall. Apparently, Adderall can make the symptoms of acid reflux worse which is why I feel like I cant reach a satisfying deep breath.
Avatar m tn I started to try different doses of Vyvanse and Adderall, starting at 10mg Vyvanse and going up to 50mg, and starting at 5mg Adderall (IR) and increasing to 10, at most, 4x a day. All of these medications seemed to increase my depressive symptoms, and since I wasn't really retaining much or cognizant of how I was doing, I ended up going three weeks without touching my homework, going to class or talking to my friends.

428176 tn?1205555587 Serequel really helped me. I have ADHD too so after 4 months on Serequel, they put me on Strattera first. I still seemed spaced out. Then I begged for Adderall after taking 3 30mg for 3 days my girlfriend got for me as a test. The Adderall has made me a different person. I use to be called ADD boy by my friends parents. LOL The only thing I have to watch is my blood pressure. I'm 42 and the adderall has the reverse affect as that of a normal person. It calms and focuses me.
660007 tn?1234065741 Adderall is now a treatment listed in the Mood Tracker and Soma is available in the Pain Tracker. Thanks for the suggestions!
Avatar n tn She had been on Adderall for ADHD, went into a hypermanic event and was involuntarily committed for treatment. After her release she went back to her original Psychiatrist who again prescribed Adderall for her. Is Adderall ever used for bipoplar disorder. Everything I have read says no. How can I convince her Dr. to not prescribe it anymore? Please help us.
Avatar f tn All my bf does is work and then come home and play video games all the time. I am working but got my hrs severely cut after the holidays so i am home alone a lot. It gives my mind way too much time to think! Im afraid to end up raising this baby alone. Just really need to talk to someone.
3158366 tn?1343598616 I have been extremely emotional lately. It *****. Every time someone says something or does something, it irritates the crap out of me. I'm taking it out on my friends, coworker, my coworkers and especially my boyfriend, the father of my child. It's getting old. It's not like me to be like this. I'm usually chipper, now its more getting irritated and/or start cruing. Anyone else feel like this and does anyone have any advice?
Avatar f tn m 9w2d and was wondering if any other mummies to be are experiencing very high mood swings I seem to get very angry really quickly and I assume every remark said is stupid. How can I fix this problem? And btw it's only with my husband most of the time.
405824 tn?1201817954 Let me introduce my self. I am 43 yo, married for 6 years and I had my second ovary removed at age 37, after already having my uterus and 1st ovary removed in 1998 and 2000. (I also had a lung transplant 8 years ago). I had all the typical symptoms of menopause even though mine was surgical menopause. My ongoing problem is severe mood swings. About 5 years ago I found myself actually hysterical and didn't know what to do.
Avatar f tn I am a 23 years old woman and I have been struggling with mood changes what seems forever. I've never felt "normal", whatever this means. I have never reacted to some sorts of situations the same way other people do. Since I can remember everything starts pretty much like this: I am full of energy, felling extremely well about myself and I usually get a load of things to be done that is above heavy.
Avatar f tn If he laughs then he understands its just your hormones i know how you feel . I yell at my bf and he just smiles and starts rubbing my hair and i shut up and everything is okay lol .
Avatar f tn You are most def not alone! I sat at my desk at work and cried ALL day yesterday. I'm only 5 weeks and I hope that it gets better b/c I'm going through a lot of tissue. I just joined this site yesterday and I have found the the women on here are so supportive and full of good advice which has helped me a lot in the past 24hrs. Whenever I feel like I'm about to cry or get upset, I just log on and reach out to someone who knows what I'm going through (another pregnant woman).
1162634 tn?1262990738 I just recently found out i was pregnant, and my boyfriend and i couldnt be happier. But I am always moody towards him, and i am never in the mood to be touched. I am scared if i keep this up, I will push him away.He is already keeping his distance. Does anyone have any good tips for me? I feel awful and I want to be able to control it. Is it possiable that maybe he is just not understanding? and i am over looking everything? Thank You!
Avatar f tn i try and tell my boyfriend that i am going through a lot of changes and i cannot control my emotions some times, he doesn't believe me and says that i need to just deal with it better, how do i cope with these wild emotions and how he treats it all like a joke no matter what I say?
Avatar f tn Haha omg. We talk about everything from the beginning about being pregnant. And all week he just, drives me up the wall! And I'm really sarcastic and mean, it just flows out.. then two seconds later I'm like "oh my god baby I'm really sorry I didn't mean it I love you" hahaha! He understands but I feel bad... hoorrmoonnesss.
Avatar f tn I am six weeks and i am crying and sad over small stuff. Been trying to potty train my two yr old with not much luck. I think that might be part of it. Is this normal to have so early and what can i do to help work through it?? Also will this mean that i will have postpartum after the baby comes? I was fine last time during and after.
Avatar f tn I feel bad cuz my mood swings r terrible, and the mood that is most prominent is bad....my poor hubby got his head bit off this morning along with my son and my friend from church....anyone else moody?
