550611 tn?1214952010 Adderall is not known to impact thyroid function tests. The target TSH is 0.3-2.5 for hypothyroid replacement so if your level is just under the lab standard, it is likely about 4.0 -- which is too high and suggests a dose increase is reasonable with your symptoms.
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've been taking regular adderall (non xr) for 10t years for ADHD. The medicine does help with the ADHD but I'm concerned with the long term effects. I know Adderall can cause weight loss /decrease appetite as a side effect. With the exception of the past couple of years I was able to keep my wieight down partly due to the drug. However the past 2 years or so I seem to be gaining wieight.
Avatar f tn heard a murmur (although I thought later is was maybe due to the extreme anxiety my daughter was feeling over the new dr. mentioning a possible thyroid problem because she has big eyes (and always has) and blood that was about to be taken). Is that possible? No dr. had ever mentioned a possible murmur. The blood work all came back normal including the thyroid so the dr. ordered echo. to check out the murmur.
Avatar m tn During that time I was taking a variety of medicines to help with the withdrawal, Klonopin, Simply Sleep, Adderall, Clonodine, Immodium, Advil, Pepto Bismol, Bentyl, and Tigan at various points depending on the symptom. I got a physical at about 31 days since I quit. At that point I was taking Klonopin and Adderall still. My doctor tested my TSH and my Free T3 levels because he was concerned about the weight loss. The results came back with a TSH of 1.18 (.34-4.82) and a Free T3 of 4.47 (2.
Avatar f tn Hello, I am a 25 year old female and am looking for any information on early signs of arthritis and how to know when it is time to see your doctor. For the past three months or so, I have been experiencing joint pain in my right (dominant) hand. A few of my knuckles almost feel like they are bruised when you touch them. It really does not bother me too much except when I write and sometimes when I am chopping in the kitchen.
Avatar m tn I have given the nurse the list of prescriptions I am on (adderall, elavil) and a list of multivitamins, motrin, etc that I take. What are my chances of passing yesterday's pre-employment drug test? I read everywhere online that it ranges from 15-90 days, but some real life experiences would be more satisfying to hear. Thank you!!
506259 tn?1228788619 I have a herniated disc in my lower back, and thyroid/hormone issues, and Adderall also seems to be the magic medicine for me. It completely relieves my back pain (which is the hernia pressing on nerves), and makes me feel normal as well. I have never taken Adderall for ADHD or anything like that, so I know it's not satisfying some withdrawal symptoms, and 5mg is all it takes for me.
Avatar n tn If after adequate sleep you are not rested and able to wake up, it may be helpful for you to get a sleep study and see if there's something going while you sleep preventing you from being rested. Too many of those 3am bedtimes can cause you to need more sleep to catch up, but if they are a rarity, that shouldn't be it. Have you had a checkup for your thyroid and for diabetes or anything that might cause increased tiredness?
Avatar f tn I currently take Levothyroxine 88mcg(μg) in the morning and 2 doses of Adderall (instant release, not XR) 20mg - one in the morning before classes and the second one whenever I need it depending on my classes that day or things I need to work on. I also later added Celexa 20mg which helped a lot with the anxiety and mood swings - especially from the "crash" of the Adderall. But with ADD meds, no one can tell you what will work best for you, or what dosage, before you try it.
Avatar m tn Secondly I just want to come and ask real quick about something I did that was stupid I want to make sure it’s nothing else is going on. Without my doctor is knowing I went up to 40 and 50 mg of ER Adderall per day for about a week. I was just seeing if it would help me with more symptoms but I think it backfired on me and now my doctor knows about it . Anyway out of the blue on Saturday after eating some donuts I got really bad heart palpitations.

Avatar f tn s a good idea for fatigue and low libido but for someone anxious as you are? Bad idea! Did you cut the Adderall or Ritalin, I don't remember which one you are using.
149081 tn?1242397832 I am on Provigil 200mg twice daily. I take one in the morning then one more at 1pm that way I can make it through a day of work. I also as on Synthroid for hypothyroidism.
Avatar f tn ve suspected something was off with my thyroid for a number of years, but according to multiple blood tests, my results were usually "normal". This week however, my ANA results came back abnormal with a homogeneous pattern.
Avatar f tn For the past few months my sex drive seems non existent. I have a girlfriend who I've always found very attractive and haven't had any relationship issues with. I'm 23 I smoke cigarettes and take adderall both which I've done for years without issue. Also I'm 6'3 and 150 lbs I've always felt my drive was low but nothing like this. Could I have low testosterone or could it be something else?
Avatar f tn - When I was born (premature), the doctor told my mother to periodically keep an eye out on my thyroid levels.They were originally abnormal during the first time they checked it, but then they were back to normal the second time around. - My neck area always appears as if something is protruding from it, which prompts my health professionals to ask, "Your neck area looks really large; do you have hypo-/hyperthyroidism?" but then they always tell me the results are normal.
Avatar n tn Adderall will effect the thyroid levels. I think for the first batch prior to testing the .
Avatar n tn She been on most. She is on adderall to wake up and adderall later to stay up. She has seen MS specialists X2, had bloods, MRIs,CSF exam, sleep studies and there is no apparent physical cause for this. The only objective finding are scattered white matter lesions on brain mri that do not enhance and have not changed in 5 years. She is now 21. She is on disability. She used to be a straight A student before age 16 and was a dancer. Where can I take her to get this looked at? NIH or CHOP?
1609422 tn?1298125484 taken any of these medications for over 7 years except the adderall! I have taken adderall within the last year but not regularly. Just has needed for times I need to be completely focused and when I need to sit and pay attention for long periods of time? I don't have insurance but I have an appointment to talk to a doctor about starting a new medication soon! I don't have insurance so I can't afford to go to the doctor in an emergency unless it is severe!
14631020 tn?1436545476 I am a newly diagnosed MS patient. I have multiple lesions in my brain. I didn't present to the doctor with 'typical' MS symptoms (but as you guys already know, there is no such thing) I haven't had any real numbness. My biggest complaint was bone crushing fatigue, which I still deal with and am trying to work full time as an xray tech.
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 html They need to check your thyroid antibodies to see if it is an autoimmune condition. It would also be good to do a thyroid ultrasound to see if you have thyroid nodules - specifically looking for a nodule (which would require further study) that may be overproducing thyroid hormones (called a "hot" nodule). Read through the web site - you'll see that many of your symptoms can be attributed to hyperthyroidism.
1504275 tn?1300756436 The first tests you need to have done, to determine a thyroid issue, would be Free T3, Free T4, TSH and thyroid antibody tests. Are you being treated for the low B12? This can also cause strange symptoms. Have you been tested for diabetes? Diabetes can cause the excessive thirst you described, as well as light headedness, your feelings of detachment, mood swings and many others. Most of these issues are very easily treated, once diagnosed.
