Avatar n tn Your healthcare provider will consider both the benefits and the risks of taking Adderall during pregnancy before making a recommendation for your particular situation.
312330 tn?1245176752 Adderall is probably the cause of your problems. I would try to take it as early as possible before bed time. I think 5 is still pretty late since the half life can last a while. You may also want to reduce the dose of your last pill.
Avatar n tn You must consult her prescribing doctor regarding Adderall and determine the benefits and risks of using this drug and the development/.exaggeration of acne or other dermatological disorders (since peeling of skin is known to occur.) Hope this helped.
Avatar m tn t feel many benefits. The medication providers many benefits, beyond improved attention, if you actually have adhd. If you question your need for Adderral, you really need to discuss this with the doctor who prescribed it for you. Ask her why she prescribed it for you. Express your concern about taking a medication, which you feel might not be of benefit to you. There's absolutely nothing wrong with asking those kinds of questions; that's what your doctor's there for.
Avatar m tn Also, yesterday I took a 10mg Adderall XR after not having any for 2 months, and there were NO euphoria, concentration benefits, or ANY mental benefits from it AT ALL. The Adderall did make me feel really stimulated physically like caffeine, but there were no anxious feelings at all. Either the Tramadol or Vicodin withdrawal is making my brain drained of endorphins or something like that. When do you guys think I will get my natural endorphins back? Also, do you think this is PAWS?
Avatar f tn My main concern is that the luvox will counteract the adderall in some way. Does any one have any experince with this or can give me some info on how luvoz has worked for them?
Avatar f tn I was taking 20mg of adderall xr and went to 60mg of vyvanse which i was told was like taking 25 to 30mg of adderall but i feel like im in some sort of withdrawal from adderall. am i the only one this has happened to?
Avatar n tn I'm a 40 yo male and have been taking Adderall for three years now....same dosage (30mg twice daily), but take it 7 days a week for ADD. My doc suggested that once a year I take two weeks off to "reset" my system...but I've never wanted to go that long without taking it! Well....it's my 4th day of being totally off and I'm feeling great. I started cutting back by a 1/4 of a dose each day.
1085866 tn?1256496382 My doctor put me on adderall XR Oral (but on the bottle it says amphetamine salts). I know that there is usually a feeling out process when it comes to ADHD and the various treatments. However, I have hypertension and in my research, I've noticed that this is not recommended for people with hypertension. I started taking it on Saturday and noticed that my blood pressure, (that I was being treated for with atenlol and lisinopril) shot up to about 160/100 on average.
Avatar n tn Currently he is taking 10 mg of Adderall XRT (the dose was lowered from 15 mg). Ever since he is on this medication he is showing increased signs of anxiety regarding food safety and some OCD traits (increased hand washing). His anxieties about his food possibly being poisoned are really affecting our home life and cause him true anguish. Is it possible that the medication is causing this dramatic increase in anxiety? What other meds could be used to help the ADHD aspect?
Avatar n tn I also fear drugs because I was incorrectly put on Zoloft as a teenager for depression when in fact it was PCOS, and it put giant gaps in my memory while on it. I have heard that Adderall helps, but that it will turn you into a zombie, and my line of work requires thinking outside the box and being quick on your feet. Who should I talk to for help?
Avatar f tn So, I’m supposed to get better from sleeping all day and having no motivation with medication that has these side effects? It makes no sense! They should prescribe Adderall for people who are depressed...
Avatar f tn You can try a different antidepressants like a SNRI (I would not use use on Adderall personally, other SSRIs or you can try tricyclic antidepressants, i recommend a second generation tricyclic like nortriptyline that is taken at night that haves sedative proprieties which could work well with Adderall in the day but your not getting full benefits of Adderall if you are using Xanax at the same time.
1518427 tn?1294365021 I wanted to wait until after Thanksgiving to start this med. I also take 30mg/day of Adderall (1/2 tablet twice daily) and 10mg of Valium twice daily. I've tried other anti-depressants but always stopped taking them because of the side effects. They just made me feel weird and anxious. This time, however, I am determined to continue the Celexa until I see benefits. My main question is what's the best time of day to take Celexa? I sleep very well now due to the Adderall.
Avatar f tn psych meds, adderall lithium abilify hydroxyzine and kolonopin my psychiatrist does not want to take me off. how is all this going to affect my baby?
Avatar f tn I have been taking a number of medications since I turned 21 in 2008, the first being Prozac, Adderall, and Seroquel. I was only prescribed Seroquel for as long as my doctor wanted to "observe possible Bipolar symptoms".... after about 3 months he took me off Seroquel. After years of continued difficulty with bouts of depression, anger/irritability, sleep, I saw a new doctor in 2015 who prescribed Abilify 5mg along with Adderall.
Avatar f tn I wanted to get off the medicine because I have been combining it with medical marjuana , alchohol , anti anxiety (Xanax) and shrooms; along with adderall before I was given invega and after. So I believe I am possibly causing damage and being out of balance. I can’t concentrate sometimes and weight gain along with prolactin due to enlarged breast is a concern. Some websites are saying their have been no withdrawals from invega reported. hard finding a psychiatrist for new diagnoses also.
1434024 tn?1329812840 Before finding out I was pregnant, I was prescribed adderall xr for my ADD to help me be motivated and focus at work. Once I found out I was pregnant, I stopped taking it. But, I did ask my doctor if it was okay or not okay to take it and he told me that he had other pregnant patients who were taking adderall on a daily basis, and have had patients in the past who took it their entire pregnancy and their baby was born fine with no mental or physical disabilities, etc, or anything bad.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know if adderall makes u lose your sex drive im also going off prozac and on wellbutrin,xanax and estridiol estrogen patch (just added recently)
Avatar n tn I did have a friend who was on Adderall (same form of stimulant) for narcolepsy...it helped with that, but she lost massive weight and became paranoid. In low doses it may help with energy levels, but it is highly addictive. Here are two links that explain the precautions/warnings and also potential drug interactions. http://adhd.emedtv.com/vyvanse/vyvanse-warnings-and-precautions.html http://adhd.emedtv.com/vyvanse/vyvanse-drug-interactions.
Avatar f tn My son who is 9 years old was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 6, we have tried adderall, aderral xr, medate, medadate xr and now have gone throught all MG of daytrana patch. He is also taking .2 clonidine at night to help sleep. He also has ODD, my question is what medication can we try him on now that will MAYBE help with both? We have tried the Tenex smallest dose possiblr 1/4 pill in am. And he just could not function.
Avatar f tn I suffer from major depression. I have been on Adderall for about 7 years. I’m on 80mg daily. I’m still exhausted. Adderall to me is such a double edged sword. Years ago when I first started it I felt alive. I could function like a normal person for awhile. The effects began to wear off and my dose slowly increased. My highest daily dose I have ever been on was 90mg. Right now I really don’t think I would be able to get out of bed without the Adderall.
621290 tn?1226720261 im on xanax, adderall, & suboxone... My pharmacist said I should try to avoid taking xanax & suboxone at the same time but its fine if there a couple hrs apart, & not to take them together at night time. Its hard on your heart/body when you take uppers & downers together.
Avatar m tn re talking about. For a long time my drugs of choice were adderall and oxycontin, then adderall and heroin. I liked that they balanced eachother out and got super addicted to the combo of them. But yes, when I came off of them, I had severe depression. However, each day i stayed off of it got better. The thing is, I had to go to rehab or 12 step meetings for the support and teh community and so I was around other addicts who understood and so i made myself accountable to them.
Avatar m tn I want any advice or information from experienced members, who have succeeded in quitting w/long-term Adderall addiction. I'd been prescribed Adderall for the first time in 2000. My Doctor has steadily increased my dosages (up to 120mg daily) over the years. She has also experimented with various other alternatives (Ritalin, Dexedrine, Vyvance, etc) with mixed results. I don't feel that long term health effects; are justified by short term benefits (that I might not get).
