adderall

1945565 tn?1330465775 You can wait until the need arises and then mention it. They do not need warning to make accomodations. I would not mention it in the workplace unless you have to. I did and got ousted. All of a sudden the writing I had been doing for months was no longer any good, and that is the 'reason' they gave for ousting me. My co-workers were great, it was just the bosses.
446829 tn?1212425523 Let's put it this way, Everything is related. If you have a bulging disc, then you have a pinched nerve. If the nerve is pinched it sends a message to the muscle to tighten up. Therefore you end up with a tension headache. If you are uptight, your muscles tighten and cause it. If you have a pinched nerve, same thing. It is a shame you have had to suffer so much. Work place injuries are the worst. They can victimize you over and over.
Avatar f tn The reason i think i have addisons is because i had a problem with my acth and my symptoms. super dark brown hyper pigmentation, Chronic fatigue syndrome, weakness, anxiety, i feel better at night, personality change, losing weight... i weigh 95lbs now, but the lowest was 79lbs and im 22 years old....and many more symptoms. The tanning part is why i think its addisons. i've never tanned in my life and im extremely dark and i haven't seen the sun in like two years.
Avatar m tn I was recently diagnosed with adult add. My doctoe prescribed adderall 20mg a day. It helps a lot with focus & motivation. But when I am at work or in social settings I feel paranoid & xtreme anxiety. My doc said he is upping my prozac that would help with social anxiety. But it will take a month to feel a benefit from that & the adderall will probably just override it. I did not take the adderall todday b4 work. I don't know what to do. Just take adderall on my days off?
Avatar n tn After reading many stories on-line of pregnant women taking adderall, I decided to start taking it again after the 3rd month at 1/2 the dose, which is 10mg a day. Does anyone believe that after the crucial period of development, lets say in your 6th month, would it be okay to do things you wouldn't do in the beginning? Like, take your meds (adderall), or have a glass of chardonnay? Once every weekend? I am in conflict, being that I am 6 months today.
Avatar m tn I immediately noticed painful ejaculation. But, only if it was in the window when the Adderall was at therapeutic levels. If I was under 3 hours after dose it would happen... or if I had taken 3 doses during the day (precribed amount) and had sex in the evening. I took an extra dose today and noticed very painful ejaculation and blood. From the research I have done it is pretty clear adderall commenly causes inflamed prostate which leads to all kinds of fun things. So, long story short.
Avatar m tn It all started about Wed (02/08/17) morning when I woke up, as soon as I sat up I had a strong urge to gag and did but didn't vomit. It was an unpleasant feeling of course that lasted through the evening with me having no appetite. What I find odd is that it pretty much completely disappears by around 8PM every time! Now about a week later I'm still experiencing this which is why I came here seeking help.
Avatar n tn And yes, you could drink way to much because of it. The adderall should be out of your system in about 5 hours unless it was the extended variety - in which case it could take 8 hours.
10452875 tn?1436484351 I also work in retail & the standard is killer in the back. Stocking anything heavy may make it worse. If the merchandise is light & ca fit on a cart that is higher so you dont have to bend, then the moving around may actually help your back. But if not, I would ask your DR for a note & give it to the manager above yours. Explain that you have already spoke with him about it.
Avatar f tn You also do not want to lose your job and you must worry about your flat and your child. So whenevr you see this allow yourself to let go of the times you hesitated in doing anything. You were smart in asking for help. I also want you then to let go of the times you almost gave in or entertaoned doing it and had to tell convince yourself that you may not be an unreliable provider for your child. How does the boss feel about you and/or treat you? How long have you worked for him?
Avatar f tn Hello, As a parent of a child that was on Adderall, as well as myself, I would never recommend Adderall, Ritalin, or any ADHD med that are in the controlled substance catagory. I had the same syptoms as your daughter, along with rapid heart rate, weight loss, and loss of interest in things that I enjoyed prior to starting Adderall. It made my son a zombie, his personality was different, he didn't laugh anymore.
Avatar f tn Can a person have elevated ammonia in bloodstream from an environmental exposure? And what would the symptoms be?
Avatar n tn I just found out that at a birthday party last night someone slipped 50 mg of Adderall in my drink. I have been awake for over 36 hrs now and my heart rate is faster than normal. I am getting worried. Is there anything I can do to counter the effects of this?
Avatar n tn They not only break through the taste, but also help in saliva production that helps in washing away the metallic taste. Every time you brush your teeth, make sure to brush your tongue also. It will help in lessening the metallic taste. You can use some oral mouthwashes and take some vit C tablets also. This should help. But if the symptoms persist then please consult a doctor for a complete examination.
1744544 tn?1311299862 I agree that, at least in pediatric patients, the reactions to it and adderall are vastly different. I know that adderall is a stimulant drug and Intuniv, while used to treat attention disorder in pediatric patients, was originaly designed as a high blood pressure med for adults. I hope this helps. I know being a mom and then having anxiety on top of add is a difficult thing. I have add and ongoing depression/ anxiety myself.
Avatar n tn So last Thursday 2/11/10 was the very first pill I took.And gah did I feel great, I was focused in on my classes etc. My point I'm getting at is that after taking 3 pills I have had excessive sweating from my hands and armpits. It's horrible. I can hardly hold a pen or pencil. I can see the sweat on the desks. I can not get rid of it. I'm not sure what to do. I am going to see a Doctor on Monday to seek further advice.
Avatar m tn 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. Any plans for any type of after care to help you deal with the mental aspects? Getting clean is easy for most, staying that way can be a challenge without some support. Just think about it. Sounds like you dodged a bullet on withdrawals.
7297821 tn?1390603432 @ROSY, how long did it take for you to regain your energy and motivation? There has been times where I have run short from taking too many and I literally crash for days, and when I do wake up I don't feel like doing anything but sitting on my couch. I know the effects of subs and the withdrawal symptoms since I've come off of it two different times, but adding adderall into the mix sorta changes things.
959034 tn?1253671476 It made me fell terrible. Also Ithink the plain adderall works better than Adderall XR. I have better control over the regular Adderall than theXR. If I don't feel like I need my afternoon dose, I dpon't take it. I was on 30mg XRs and they kept me up all night and ther is nothing you can do about it unless you have a sedative of some sort like Xanax or Ambien. Dexidrene works ok ,but it has a sharp crash to it and the Adderall just kind of wears off.
Avatar f tn t ask for it but he was convinced that I presented with symptoms of ADHD, and that the Adderall would be effecting in treating not only that but my OCD symptoms as well. I don't think I have to tell anyone here what happened next....the entire month's supply was gone in just over a week. I don't know what had happened to me?! I was fine before the Adderall, just drinking lots of coffee because I'm a single mom to a 1 year-old and in school full-time.
Avatar f tn I have found some information that backs up my suspicion that Adderall is the culprit. It can increase the glucose level in your body, initiating an inflammatory response. This can result in clogged pores and/or constipation which can cause acne or skin issues by reintroducing toxins back into the body. It also releases stress hormones like cortisol which can trigger overproductive sebaceous glands (which morgellons is already doing).
