Common Questions and Answers about Adderall energy

adderall

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.
Avatar m tn It's basically the same as a Red Bull and all energy drinks. NOT a relevant solution or replacement for Adderall. Generic IR Adderall isn't expensive at all and is called mixed amphetamine salts or amphetamine, dextroamphetamine mixed salts. Something like less than a dollar per pill.
990354 tn?1307132886 t think she is taking them at the same time but, is it safe for her to take an adderall on occasion? She claims the adderall gives her more energy than the vyvanse so she takes it when she has a night that she is working late and so on. I am just making sure this is not harmful to her, I am a recoverying addict and am scared I am seeing the same signs in her.......
Avatar f tn You dont have to go on Adderall if you dont want to. It is your choice. I personally wouldnt take it as your energy will come back on its own. Try and give it some more time and see how you feel.......
Avatar n tn Adderall is speed. You are speeded up. It is a very harmful drug. Lots of energy (drug energy, not the real thing) and little food. This does not sound like a healthy way to live. I would never put a child of mine on this, even if a hundred "doctors" advised it.
Avatar f tn To: anyone I am bi-polar and after strong consideration my doc she put me on adderall, so I could wake up during the day.. but with strong consideration mind you, and 4 years of being stable but it was still depressed but less depressed.. I had been on plenty of different meds and we found a combination that worked but barley..It was the best the docs could do so I went on adderall to wake up the depression was low but my energy was severly low.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know how long it takes to get your OWN energy back from taking Adderall 30 mg? I've been off them now for 21/2 weeks. I stay so tired and my housework isn't getting done. I'll be 66 Sunday, so does age have anything to do with it? I'm widowed and lonely and the Adderall helped me keep busy.I take Pristiq for depression, and it helps. My health isn't great but i manage.
Avatar f tn Was wondering at this stage in getting clean if taking an adderall (not a million) would assist with energy without prolonging the withdrawl. Has anyone tried this.
Avatar f tn My dr added adderal to my prozac and xanx he says i have refractory depression or something like that,i felt better yesterday after taking the adderall...but i hear im at higher risk for serotoyin syndrome....any others on these meds..
Avatar f tn and are you suppose to get loads of energy from adderall ido not have adhd i have refractory depresion desparte for answer
Avatar m tn If you are on day 4 you are probably through the worst, congrats on 4 days. Addicts have to be careful about substituting one substance for another so just be careful with the adderall - there are some people that have real problems with it on here and the "energy" you get can be so alluring. It is REAL easy in the beginning to use xanax to help you thorugh withdrawal or adderall and then boom - before you know it you have added to your nightmare and I know you don't want that.
Avatar m tn after a period of time 6months to one year on adderall the weight loss will stop.. a family member of mine is on adderall for add.. It is speed so yes it will give you energy but thats short lived...
Avatar f tn I love the work that I get done when I am taking my Adderall however, I really only need it 2-3 days out of the week. When I had a huge class load last year I peaked at 30 mg at 7am and 30mg at 1pm and thats only because I attended college at night.I feel fatigued when I am not using Adderall, even if its been 2 weeks I still don't feel like I have energy.I find myself wanting to nap when possible.Any suggestions on how to fight Adderall fatigue.
401095 tn?1351391770 my doctor suggested adderall...well it is called vivace or sumpin like that...gotta look it up....but it is like adderall for all intents and purposes..a bit worried bout filling it and i have not...anyone else take this? I know it can be psycholigically additing and i worry...but i gotta move...i get jealous of those with tons of energy..as i have so little it seems...
760131 tn?1238217597 I have been clean a year now thanks to the help of suboxone, then right after a year at 16mg. a day i tryed adderall and it made me feel all that energy and the last three months ive been taking an average of 65mg a day if not 70. I am really disapointed in myself and wish that i hadnt have tryed the adderall. I was doing good. But depression kind of set in, not mentioning alot of stress and a friend offered me one and i tryed it. So I guess im needing some experience,strength, and hope.
Avatar f tn Vyvanse is metabolized differently, so could last longer in your system. It was done so you could not snort it like you can with Adderall. Adderall gives a stronger first "hit". V is smoother and takes longer to take effect so may not be as noticeable. Also the Dose of V should be 30mg compared to 10mgs of adderall XR to be somewhat equal.
Avatar n tn mentally to just relax and do work without becoming too bored or tired or just un-happy about what im doing. When I take adderall, I get energy and I supose some effects that people would describe as a "high" but It also helps me. Even though it's a stimulant, it does actually help me stay on one task and not become disinterested or tired of it, and I actually feel good for once, I don't feel anxiety when I have to go into a room of people I do not know.
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 When I was told at 50 years old that I had ADD, it really made me feel less, angry, and other emotions. After all, I had been a decorated infantry soldier in Vietnam, attended 7 years of grad and post grad studies, and had been promoted beyond my expectations within my field. Feeling low, I didn't offer any contradiction of the doctor"s findings. Being a product of the late 60's, having used many drugs in my youth, what we called speed was one of them.
Avatar m tn I love the fact that the Adderall gives me energy but I hate that after a few days of taking it I feel physically exhausted. I have tried to give up the Adderall but I always go back to it because taking the Celexa alone doesn't work. I sit around and think about everything I should be doing at home but am unmotivated to do them and I have a hard time getting through the day at work. After a few days of this, I give up and start taking the Adderall again.
Avatar m tn not personal experience with adderall....but it is normal to feel fatigue with adderall wd...it is not life threatening and for the most part it is a mental wd vs narcotics being both/mental and physical...the fatigue is common among narc wds as both drugs supply extra endorphins to the brain//many feel fatigue after narcotic cessation to be a physical symptom like the runs...but it is a result of taking endorphins away and waiting on the brain to "catch up" on endorphin production....
Avatar f tn The two I am into are Adderall and Loricet which are two totally different meds but I feel I need the Adderall for energy and the pain pills also give me energy but they are good for feeling good all over too and still being able to sleep really well... I just wonder If this is withdrawal symptoms because I went from about 8 to 10 loricets a day to nothing this last week and a half and have taken half of what I would take in Adderall recently.
805775 tn?1259592170 Yes adderall is an ADHD med., but it is also used for narcolepsy. Adderall should give you energy and at the same time supress your appetite.
Avatar n tn i am a sophomore in HS and i take 30 mg adderall mon-fri at around 7a.m.. it helps alot with paying attention, but the main thing i like about it is the way it lets me think more efficiently without getting sidetracked by less important issues that i would normally branch off onto.
880242 tn?1241283005 I am 28 years old but have been on the medication Adderall for over 15 years now. Of course on/off. My dosage for a few years have been 30 mill. tablets 3x's daily. I personally began to take more than prescribed about a year and a half ago when I was working at a serious job and felt pressure from my boss to understand and progress faster than I was. I would look at the clock and think well I am close to the next dose's time I could go ahead and take it.
7730266 tn?1393887862 I've been taken Adderall xr sense I was five and I'm 25 now. I take it everyday and it helps me to focus when I'm in college and for jobs. I no sense its been so long that Ive been on this my body is dependent on it and I would love to not have to relie on taken Adderall everyday. I didn't no if anyone has heard of any herbal tea or something that helps. Hope someone can help me!
Avatar f tn Why is it that my pupils become so extremely dilated after just a few hours of taking my daily morning dosage of one 20MG Adderall XR and one or two 5MG Adderall (Immediate Release) tablets???!!!! It is terribly embarrassing to look anyone in the eye now. I never used to feel so self-conscious about my appearance & social acceptance/perception, etc.. It's like this drug is has turned me into walking & talking oxymoron of a person.
Avatar f tn i have been on benzos 20 years...........today is my 16th day of adderall i have no added energy as dr said.......it raises my heartrate.......dr said to take a whole 30 mgthis morning instead of 15 mg.........yesterday after my 4 oo 15 mg dose i got tired and this morning my tounge hurts..iknow i have been biting my lip but i didnt think i bit my tounge but it hurts...i know u guys have adhd but do u know why adderall wouldnt give me the energy other people get.......
Avatar f tn m addicted to my Adderall 30 mg. I used to take it as directed, once daily, but last few months taking it more. I have only5 pills left until my renewed prescription next month. Does anyone know about the withdrawal symptoms from this? Is it worse than coming off vicodin or better? I have clonazepam 1mg which I rarely ever take. I have plenty refills for that. Was told that the clonazepam would greatly help. Is this true?
