Avatar f tn Perhaps he could take Adderall XR after breakfast. Good nutrition is crucial for proper growth of brain and body in an 8 year old boy. Another option would be to try Straterra, a non-stimulant medication for ADHD. Straterra does not affect appetite like stimulant medications such as Adderall XR.
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 f tn I recently had to switch my add meds from adderall xr to vyvanse and I am on day 2 and I feel like I havnt taken anything. I am extremely tired, have anxiety with everything going on around me at once, and I cant concentrate at all, I walked around my kitchen for 15 minutes not knowing why i wass but knew there was a reason then finally got my car keys that i was needing to get in the first place. Is this normal?
Avatar m tn No easy answer here. First I assume you mean Adderall XR? Let me know if you don't because the next sentence is about XR. Most Charts list 50mgs as the maximum dose. And weight really has less to do with the dosage then one would think. Dr. Charles Parker, author of "New ADHD Medication Rules", says, "I always steer completely away from an answer to the question of ‘just what is your top dose?
Avatar f tn I'm on prescription Adderall XR and the company I work for adheres to strict drug screening process. I need to determine if I should notify my employer of the prescription. Will my adderall XR show on a drug test if I am called to take one?
Avatar f tn Try Adderall XR...it's an extended-release capsule. Regular Adderall is an immediate-release tablet, which wears off after maybe 5 hours, i'd say. But Adderall XR should do the trick...
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 m tn I've been taking Adderall XR 20mg for nearly 2 year and have noticed that if I haven't masturbated in 2-3 days, ejaculate will appear either prior to, or after I urinate. I have checked side effects of Adderall XR on the manufacturer's website and have not found any information to this.
Avatar m tn I am a 48 year old male business person. I have been on Adderall for about one year. I have been able to focus much better (and not lose my keys), but my mind is shackled to"just the facts". My creative thinking ability has nearly dissappeared and I seem to be slow to respond to any question requiring more than a simple answer. Additionally, my positive attitude had departed also. For the past three weeks I have been trying Ritalin.
1746489 tn?1311515586 I have recently been prescribed Adderall XR 20 mg for adult ADHD. I have been diagnosed with mild COPD. I am currently on an Albuterol Inhaler as needed, which luckily isn't very often. I'm on Norvasc for high blood pressure (controlled quite well) and Celexa 40 mg a day. I guess that I'm kind of nervous about taking the Adderall XR after reading about all the possible side effects.
Avatar f tn Is there anybody out there who suffers from Hypotyroidsm and ADD. Would like to know what medication your Doctor has you on for ADD and does it do it's job? Thank you all!
Avatar f tn Thank you all for sharing your opinions. I don't get offended easily so no worries. I've been off Adderall XR 30 for a little over two weeks. I still have sleep problems. The other night I fell asleep at 5am and woke up at 7. I wasn't even tired, I felt as if I took an Adderall and am wide awake. Don't know if I was having a flashback and felt as if I was on the meds or if I'm going through withdrawals since I stopped cold turkey.
Avatar m tn strattera, Aderall XR, and Vyvanse, but none of them seem to work. I've asked other people who have taken Adderall what happens to them and they say things like "you can focus on anything so well." When I take it nothing happens. I don't feel any different, it just makes me feel a little less drowsy. I'm supposed to take 50MG every morning, but sometimes I would take 100MG or 150MG just to see if it would work and still nothing happens!!
880242 tn?1241283005 I have sever ADHD and have my whole life so I do not relate to the fatigue but Wellbutin has done wonders for me with my Adderall XR. I was very sceptical of taking Adderall because I am an addict but have never abused my ADHD meds as, like you, they calm me and do not give me the high they do others. I opted out of the regular Adderall specifically because of that reason because I work really long days and was afraid I might pop an extra pill here and there.
Avatar n tn For anyone who is on of has a family taking adderall XR, or even knows about the drug----how much is too much, my son in 9 yrs old and the doctor wants to increase the medication to 60mg once a day in the am....this concerns me, its out of the FDA recommeded limits..
5957912 tn?1379936972 Hi This is my first question on MedHelp :-) I take Adderall 10mg XR. I just started taking it 2 months ago. I also am bipolar. I had finally got that under control when I wanted to address my ADD. Well it seems to work on several things but I don't feel as happy as I did and it makes me very antisocial. Also I have been kind of obsessing about things.
Avatar f tn My friend daughter is taking adderall and vyvanse together for school but she been having more problems with her misbehaving is this normal.
Avatar m tn Hello. I'm Seventeen years old and have ADD. Last year I stopped taking my 30mg XR adderall because of weight-loss problems. Now i am a generally healthy boy and the only condition I have is asthma, which I out-grew years ago. Last night around eight o'clock I took one of my old 30mg XR capsules to see if it would help me with a big homework assignment.

Avatar m tn Adderall XR helped my Cerbral Palsy. I took about 40 mg and my spastiicity feels cured. I think of what may of actually helped too is I took my pain medicine oxycodone too. I am so happy right now I could cry. I don't want to wake up and beb back to normal lol. I am going to call my doc.If you want more info from me my email is ***@****. There is never anyone with answers or helpfulness.
Avatar f tn old female, diagnosed with ADD at 20 and had mood craziness before the diagnosis and Adderall use (20 mg 2 to 3x/day for past 2 years- seriously tried everything else but this is all that worked). Recently, I was diagnosed with BPD, started Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) which is seeing a counselor and going to group once a week, doing homework and participating to make my life better. People in good DBT programs have to want to get better for the program to work.
Avatar f tn I am not sure we can give you a good answer. I am on Adderall XR. I like it but there are some strange side effects. I know when I was on Ritalin, any form, I was mean, really mean. It was the same with Concerta. Stratara did nothing for me but there are many people that think it its the greatest thing. I have never tried this Vyvance. I have found the one drug that seems to work best so far.
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.
561706 tn?1333947274 I was diagnosed with ADD 13 years ago, severe depression 5 years ago which finally was diagnosed as depressive B.P two years ago. My experience is quite different with Adderall (which I've taken for 7 yrs.) than LCC. Although I keep trying new BP meds to get me out of this heavy funk I've been in, the only thing that really gets me somewhat motivated to leave my bed is Adderall.
Avatar n tn Hi, My 8 yr old son also takes Adderall XR, but only 15 mg. (for the past 2 yrs.) He was really skinny for a while back in first grade but my husband is tall & thin so we figured that was OK. My dr. said to give our son a milkshake at bedtime every night, and I can add protein if he seems to need it. As he has grown it affects him less than it did at first; he never has trouble sleeping and he has a good appetite at breakfast.
