adderall

Avatar f tn Please help. My son is autistic. He has bowel issues. He can hold in an enema. He is on several meds. Adderall, Metformin, Risperdol, clonidine. I'm wondering if the weight gain is causing the adderall to be less effective. He's on 20mgs in the morning and 10mgs in the afternoon. He complains about he can't focus any more. It's making him very upset and very hard to deal with. I'm at my wits end. He will only deal with me. I feel like I'm a terrible mother.
Avatar n tn According to the regulatory agency, they received safety information concerning the association of sudden deaths, heart-related deaths, and strokes in children and adults taking recommended doses of Adderall and Adderall XR. This risk of Adderall death seemed particularly high for individuals with structural heart abnormalities. In response to these findings, the FDA issued an advisory warning about the possible risk of death, but allowed the drug to remain on the market.
Avatar f tn Why is my 'shrink' trying to treat my Adult ADD with Bubropion HCL SR (100mg tab 2X a day)? Is this the right med for me? Good grief...it didn't even cut out my smoking. Both of my adult children are on Adderall and are doing fine. My doc keeps telling me that Concerta & Adderall are 'too addictive' ... what the heck ... I am not looking to get high or anything ... I just want to be able to have a med to make my ADD manageable.
Avatar f tn t have enough money to see a real psychiatrist. From some of the reviews it sounded like adderall would fit my type of adhd better. So my doctor put me on adderall xr starting at 10 mg. She increased it only by 10mg or less at a time. So I went up to 20 mg and now have been on 25 mg since august 2011. The 25 mg is doing good by the benefits and less symptoms I've had but only last 8 hrs.

Avatar f tn m certain that Adderall contributed by stimulating her movements in the last weeks of my pregnancy. Athough my OB prescribed it for A.D.H.D. (I had been on it for two years prior to the pregnancy), I feel responsible and will never forgive myself. It was February 21, 2006 and it feels like yesterday. I pray you delivered a healthy baby and my sincere hope is that your family is blissfully happy!
Avatar n tn I am a college student studying pre med and have my fair share of adderall cramming for exams. After taking it for over two years and constantly being over caffinated my heart has become very sensitive to everything. I pretty much always have an irregular heart beat, chest pains and pains in my arms, neck and back.(esp when i lay down to sleep) I am very concerned and before i see a doctor about it i was wondering if anyone had any input. I am decaffinating and have stopped taking adderall.
1744544 tn?1311299862 Instead, he has now taken me off of my Adderall and put me on 1mg of Intuniv, which is for CHILDREN ages 6-17.. I am a 27 year old woman who has been taking 60mg of Adderall for over 2 years, and he just STOPS and puts me on this.. Not to mention, my 6 year old son was recently prescribed 2mg of Intuniv and it turned him into a Zombie..
Avatar f tn we have battled this for 5 years...he has me in so much debt cause he would go write checks for adderall or extra methadone and i would have to go get small loans to cover the bank. He would do good for a few days to maybe a month then the cycle would start over...he would swear to me that its over till the next time.. I LOVE THIS MAN WITH ALL MY HEART. he is good to me but the lies drugs and secrets are tearing us apart. Last summer i found out he was experimenting with meth..
Avatar f tn I have a real sensitive stomach and immune system, and am allergic to a lot so I would think that you can handle most of these. The best working were the Daytrana, Adderall XR, and Vyvanse, and the Adderall you are taking may be different than what I take(XR) The other Adderall hurt my stomach and made me sick if I didn't eat, but I have no problem with the XR.
Avatar n tn I wasn't sure where to ask this question so if it's in the wrong forum I apologize, but I have a question reguarding adderall. I don't have add or adhd, and i understand the problems doctors have had with adderall abuse. Despite this fact, I have used another person's perscribed adderall a few times. What im wondering is if adderall is only used to treat adhd and narcolepsy. I have always had low self confidence, so low that I would barely talk to anyone.
Avatar f tn m just worried that with the recent popularity of this drug that my doctor may see my need for it as a desire for it instead. But more importantly, is it safe to do so?
449407 tn?1205516497 I was wonder if Adderall is an effective drug for depression or anxiety, or plain old bi-polar people? I have heard of it being prescribed, but don't know what it is being used to do? Can anyone enlighten me?
Avatar n tn Take a deep breath. 1. Any school that pushes you to medicate your child is the wrong school. It's ok for a school to set rules for behavior, and say that if children don't meet them they can't attend a school, but it's NOT OK for a school to require that children be medicated. 2. Let's say that none of that was happening. Your son is still miserable at school. That's another reason to look for some alternative schooling here in this case. 3.
Avatar f tn this dr wants me to go up 10 mg a week till i reach 60...i dont know about that..he switched my adderall to ritalin for my refractory depression and i toook 2nd pill thsi morning but im afraif im gonna be allegic to it,u all know my fears..i alos haved somazation syndrome and hyperchrodriac..which this dr told me are 2 differnet things..he said to still enjoy my 2 or 3 beers,,he has been a pshychtrist for over 50 years..i read some good reviews on people using ritalin for depression...
Avatar f tn We have always used huggies diapers with our other two children, even huggies pull ups, wipes, but this time I'm thinking about switching up any one ever used the diapers + wipes from the honest company? Your experience?
Avatar f tn Her information on alternative treatments for better diet and detox are probably good for everyone with or without MS. She makes a big deal of saying that physicians like to say that MS is not curable and that Drs want people on medications for life. Personally, I prefer to say that for now, there is no MS cure, but there are many things which can make having it easier to deal with on a daily basis.
Avatar n tn Not giving a child the correct medications out of spite is not accomplishing anything. I've been on adderall for a while now too and have done extensive research on almost all there is to know. Adderall is basically medical meth. Its an amphetamine while meth is a meth-anphetamine. So the mother has a somewhat logical point but an incorrect one. Just because someone does adderall, it doesn't mean they are going to do meth.
Avatar f tn “We as a society have been unwilling to invest in very effective nonpharmaceutical interventions for these children and their families,” said Dr. Ramesh Raghavan, a child mental-health services researcher at Washington University in St. Louis and an expert in prescription drug use among low-income children. “We are effectively forcing local community psychiatrists to use the only tool at their disposal, which is psychotropic medications.” Dr.
Avatar n tn The weight loss is quite frightening. My son is not overweight at all (average). We have tried Adderall, Concerta, Straterra, and now Dexadrine. We have finally found a medication that allows my boy to have success in school, but the negative side effects are outweighing the postive response to the meds. Has anyone heard of the appetite returning after a time?
Avatar n tn People do do things on drugs that they normally would not, of course, but..... I am so sorry for your children, they need their mother!!! I grew up without a mom, because she died , nor because she was running the streets. It made no difference why, all I knew is she was not there!
Avatar f tn I have friends who are RN's and that is one tough, stressful job. I can't imagine what it would be like without RNs around. I am probably off beat here, but I would be remiss if I didn't throw this out. You were diagnosed at 19. Were you in college then? Sometimes, the college doctors since they can't do the normal surveys of teachers, go more on the need of the patient and maybe don't follow the actual guidelines.
Avatar n tn I'm so concerned. My 24 year old daughter takes adderall and has been taking it for 4 years.She has increased her dose to 20mg. She's 5'5 and weighs only 104 pounds. I have tried everything to get her to gain weight. She does it but very little. She honestly thinks she looks good. I think she's addicted to it. She says she cannot focus at work unless she takes it. What can I do. Mom This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.
Avatar n tn I have been taking Adderall XR 30mg for quite some time and have never had any problems on it. I was at a party recently and was moderately drinking (I only occasionally do so knowing possible interactions) when it is believed that I could have been unknowingly given an additional substance (marijuana was one theory, am planning on getting labs done to check everything). I apparently starting acting pretty crazy, yelling at people, crying, talking out of my head and possbibly hallucinating.
Avatar f tn is adderall being used for manic depressive/ bipolar disorder, especially when all other treatments have been ineffective even ect the persons mind is racing, foot is shaking, but body cannot get in action., like add of the mind.
