Avatar f tn No, that's not normal... "Normal" or "good" thyroid levels are not the same as optimal, so if you're still having these feelings, you might possibly need adjustment in your meds. If you'll post your actual thyroid hormone levels, with reference ranges we can take a look and see if you might need some adjustment. Be sure to post your med(s) and dosage(s), as well.
Avatar f tn s been 2 weeks and not only was there no improvement, but her behavior is sooo much worse! So her doctor added Adderall two days ago. No difference in her behavior yet. We are just learning about ADHD. Have done hours of research. I know dr. might need to adjust dosage before we see improvement, but I can't help but wonder, since she has gone downhill so fast, could it be something else, not ADHD? We are looking into seeing a psychologist who treats ADHD patients.
Avatar f tn if anyone experiences delusional thoughts or even paranoia along with being diagnosed with adhd let me know if meds help that my doctors have tried a lot of meds. i am scared to ask them about adderall because i really do not want them to just try anything..because t hey have tried so much already and i feel like i am getting worse.
Avatar f tn Both of us have had bouts of depression in the past and my husband is currently diagnosed as ADHD and is taking Adderall and Zoloft. When he first started taking Adderall, it was like a dream come true! He as always been an procrastinator and has/had classic ADHD symptoms. The Adderall was amazing! Before I start with what is going on, let me first say that my husband is not a monster. It's quite the opposite...he is a wonderful husband and father and he loves us immensely.
Avatar m tn Well I have been taking aderrall about 2 to 3 months. The feelings of paranoia, suspicion of others and rage have come back. So when i see my doc this week he will be switching me to something else. Adderall also makes me sweat horribly and raises my blood pressure. I am assuming he will put me on concerta or straterra I don't know. I have read many posts about peoples battles with adderal addiction and how trying to stop was a living hell. This is scaring me about coming off the med.
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 f tn 00pm. After two weeks on this med and dose I found myself trying to take 2 at once to see if it would work since I felt absolutely nothing taking 1 10mg tablet twice during the day. I swear I do not abuse medication but whether my body can't absorb medication or I'm just defective I know that most people on the shear amount of different meds I take daily and then the dosages, it should be obvious that I'm highly medicated. But I'm not at all.
505907 tn?1258369340 Being manic for me (I mean full blown) is a state of mind where no one else can even comprehend. It starts out as the best thing in the world while, all the while you are making some really bad decisions and not knowing it. I get so euphoric I tend to think i'm a brilliant genius who is the prettiest, smartest, funniest person on the planet. Then sometimes I fly into a rage. When I mean rage, I mean wanting to hurt rage.
Avatar n tn I have an 8 year old son and he has been through almost every type of counseling and on Ritalin, adderall, straterra, Abilify. The counslers at all the places we have been, say they are stumped or say its ADHD, or ODD, and suggest all types of theraputic things to do for him and all kinds of methods to control the tantrums.
Avatar f tn Hey. Keep your head up, there's a lot you can do to work with this. Feeling defeated and depressed comes along with a sleep disorder, I know. I'm just a couple years younger than you. The same things happened to me. I was so smart but all my grades started falling because I could never get anything done. Everyone thought I was just lazy- I thought I was just lazy. But I was tired all the time and unmotivated. See a sleep specialist.
1239132 tn?1268391712 My son, does not want to understand as he spent his whole childhood dealing with my illness and his ADD. I had a bad moment on the phone, a moment of rage, his friends heard, I have apologized but he will not bend, he is only 20. I am so depressed, What have you done to teach, help and support your children besides counseling, suggesting books and trying to have honest talks. We lost his dad last year. I am in a very worthless moment.
Avatar n tn I am a BP I with psychotic features. I know all about rage. Boy did I have rage! Screaming, throwing things, slamming things, yanking my kids around (thank GOD I never really hurt them although I could have), and I could NOT control it. It would just leap out of me and over take me! Then I would throw alcohol on top of it. That would calm me down for a bit but then it had a boom a rang effect and I'd be in a depressed rage.
Avatar f tn Well 3 failed college attempts and 5 car accidents later, I decided to see a pshycologist for a few appointments and tests and he diagnosed me with ADHD and wanted to prescribe me a stimulant and chose adderall. I tried 10mg IR and 20mg IR, with great success and only mild side effects but they did not last very long maybe 5 hours max, and I have 13-16 hour work days.
Avatar f tn He put her on a low dosage of Straterra at first but after 2 weeks the side effects required a change in medication. He put her on a low dosage of Adderall (18mgs per day). She also takes 450 mgs of Wellbutrin a day for depression and 100 mgs of Topamax for migraines. Add to that the fact that she drinks a few glasses of wine every night and you have quite a cocktail. Since being put on Adderall her behavior has really changed.
Avatar f tn I continued taking it as prescribed but by the end of the first week I was SUPER cranky and bitching at everyone. I got so full of rage one night that I flushed them all down the toilet and call my doc the next day to let him know that I wouldn't be taking those anymore ;) I'm quite the control freak.... As expected, I continued suffering from my ADHD symptoms being a full-time student and single parent to a 1 year-old with NO child care.
Avatar n tn Hello, my name is Justin and I was curious about the effects of taking adderall had on motor neuron and glutamate function. I am currently in medical school and have been taking adderall for some time now and notice that when I am taking in caffeine along with adderall I experience muscle twitching within my arms, legs, and fingers. Previously to my arrival at school, I was checked out by a neurologist who performed a NVC/EMG and said everything was fine.
Avatar n tn They then started her back on meds, this time they tried depokote, which did not really help, then the pediatrician added adderall to try to help with the impulsiveness (which has helped some). the neurologist the took her off the depokote and tried lamictal, which she had a rash with so they had to d/c that too. right now she is not on anything except the adderall which does seem to help very little, but it does.
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 m tn I don't put a lot of stuff in my coffee though, so I'm curious why coffee would make me shaky but Adderall wouldn't. I know they work differently, but I just assumed that Adderall was stronger and would have more negative side effects.
Avatar n tn I also take adderall for add and xanax for anxiety. The reason that you are experiencing anxiety like symptoms from the adderall is because adderall is a stimulant. It is a mix of amphetamine and dextoamphetamine salts. It is a schedule II drug. Schedule I drugs are the worst classification and it goes down to schedule V. This is not uncommon, I have this problem as well. The question is can you live with the extra anxiety if the adderall is really helping you?
Avatar n tn My college aged daughter has been on Adderall 3 days a week since Nov 2007. I noticed over spring break a small amount of acne (she had been acne free for years). Then when she came home in May the acne started getting worse. She upped her adderall because of training/games and a new job. So she was basically taking it almost every day. Her face broke out horribly. Worse it has ever been. I took her to two dermatologists. Nothing was helping. It was steadily getting worse.
Avatar m tn I used to use caffine to pick me up when the adderall was wearing off but I notice this always ended up in a downward spiral until I stop the caffine for about a week and felt good again. Instead of using caffine to pick me up once the adderall wears off I just take more adderall now but not enough to get that PEP feeling. If you take enough adderall to get the pepped up feeling every day your tolerance will increase quickly.
Avatar n tn Now my question is how does a 16 year old (or others of any age) abuse adderall? How exactly do they abuse adderall? How is it done? Im asking because I have high position that my daighter is not only "trying" to abuse her vyvanse but I think she also doing adderall and getting it off the streets (from friends she may know or known drug dealers). I can just see a big difference in her behavior.
Avatar m tn I am a 48 yr old female diagnosed with recurring severe depression. When I am not taking my meds, I am tired, can sleep all day, am completely unmotivated to do anything and do not want to socialize with anyone. I have tried several different meds and am currently taking Celexa and Adderall XR. My psy says that adding the Adderall will "kick in the Celexa" and make it work better. I have a love/hate realationship with the Adderall.
