adderall xr maximum dose

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..

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?

My therapist chose that dose because the 20mg of adderall xr wasnt quite working good enough and she said that the 60 of vyvanse was the same as 25 to 30 of the adderall so I was very surprised at the reaction I had. I think I might ask her if I can just go back to the adderall.

iv been on Valium forever it stops my paranoia some of my anxiety and insomnia and vertigo too much benzo has paradoxical effect. I just started Adderall 20mds XR First day was bad i figured cause my anxiety.

t think they do much to each other. I take adderall XR so I only dose in the morning. I actually prefer to take the adderall with Kratom, they work well together but is addictive.

I began 20mgs of Adderall XR/daily a couple weeks ago. I have had several smaller side effects since the beginning including: appetite suppression, changes in sexual ability/desire and slightly increased heartrate (i'm a runner so my heartrate is about 80bpm resting, but 30 - 40 bpm faster than normal) additionally, I sweat more while on adderall. Very recently, I noticed a weird sporadic feeling in my body.

The only thing that teachers say they say working was the Adderall XR, but it kicked in after he left in the AM and it was done by the time he got home and what I got here was a kid talking 400 mph pacing like a nervous wreck and mood swinging worse than me during PMS! Is there something that can be taken after the XR wears off like 3 pm that will work for homework focus time but not keep him up all night???

i am on adderall xr and zoloft 50mg and it is makin me very sick.i am starving every 2 hrs my moods have me very angry..i have diarea and nasea....i have just switched from celea and adderall to the zoloft...what can i take for depression with my adderall that wnt make me sick?

I got the headaches usually after the dose wore off and would get tired. Does he take adderall xr which are capsules or just the short acting adderall which comes in pill form? You may need to lower the dose which could help his side effects. If the dose is too strong; when it wears off it can definitely cause withdrawal symptoms. My son and I both had this problem. After a year on the med, your son will definitely need to either increase or decrease based on how he is doing.

I run 2 - 3x per week for 3 - 5 miles, weight training 2x per week, and boxing and wrestling for 90min 4x per week. I take Zantac for acid reflux and Adderall XR for concentration and memory retention. I eat very well, don't smoke, don't drink. I have been living my life this specific way for about 8 months and my heart rate when doing any strenuous exercise is at 200-205 BPM. Within 2 minutes of running until I am finished it beats that fast.

IVE BEEN takeing 150mgs of adderall xr or 5 30mg tabs a day for over 2 years. i have a tolerance too. my meds are prescribed monthly and legally, i guess what im trying to say is the feeling always becomes normal no matter what the doseage. everything out there for adhd is always going to let u down over time. If it was me ID TRY to get off them before you build up to a level and dependancy like mine.

Hey, I was prescribed generic 10mg Adderall 1x per day by my psych, but when I tried it I felt slightly dizzy with ear stuffiness (the type when you fly on airplanes) accompanied by sharp, inner ear pain (in both ears). This lasted about 1.5 months. Is there anyway to reduce this while taking adderall, and what could it be caused by?

I stopped drinking caffeine for a couple of months while taking the wellbutrin and I felt lousey I would hardly smile or cared to do anything, My psychologist said that it seems that I need stimulation so it should help to be on a higher dose of adderall XR, I am wondering if the celexa is to high of a doseage?

Concerta, 30mg Adderall IR, and 30mg Adderall XR. Concerta gave me migraines. Adderall XR completely sucked. Adderall IR was the best medication that I found until Vyvanse. Now I think Adderall is horrible in comparison. I've been taking 30mg of Vyvanse for a few months now. This has been my adjusted dose from trying 20mg, 30mg, and 50mg. 50mg was wayy too much at the time. 30mg was perfect until about a month ago. It lasted about 12 hours, a huge improvement over 4 hours of Adderall IR.

What dose of short acting Adderall was she taking before? What dose of the Adderall XR is she taking now?

Hi Sandman, I was able to get an increase in Dexedrine Spansules generic , total of 105 mg. It is worth the money compared to the 90 mg of Dexedrine Spansules generic, but it's too expensive. If the doctor was not going to increase it, I was going back to Adderall XR 120mg, which I might have to because of money.

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.

My son who is 9 years old was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 6, we have tried adderall, aderral xr, medate, medadate xr and now have gone throught all MG of daytrana patch. He is also taking .2 clonidine at night to help sleep. He also has ODD, my question is what medication can we try him on now that will MAYBE help with both? We have tried the Tenex smallest dose possiblr 1/4 pill in am. And he just could not function.

I'm prescribed 80mg xr adderall a day. 60mg/am 30mg/pm I've been on that dose for awhile plus I've been taking a higher dose of busbars (30mg 2x/day). 80mg isn't as effective anymore my tolerance to any drugs builds quickly (anything from motrin to antibiotics to xanax and adderall) the 80mg isnt effective to the point where if I want to go to sleep I can. What I've been doing is taking 90mg/AM and 30mg/PM. Most likely my Dr.

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.

Also the Dose of V should be 30mg compared to 10mgs of adderall XR to be somewhat equal.

Has anyone else developed a sore throat or cough on Adderall XR? If so does regular Adderall have the same effect. I’ve recently (about 4-5 months ago) started ADHD meds after being off for about 8 years. I suffer from EDS (excessive daytime sleepiness) in addition to ADHD of the primarily inattentive type. I find vyvanse and/or Ritalin to be helpful in terms of making me alert and functional which of course has the secondary benefit of improving my executive function issues.

what would the side effects be if a person took 40, 30mg adderall xr. how long do the side effects last?

Plus it's 20mg XR(extended Release). So I am only getting 10mg at a time "technically".

he is now doing wonderfully on Adderall XR. His brother has been on Focalin XR for 2 years and does well on it. Neither has any side effects.

This site says that adderall, adderall XR, and dexedrine are approved for 3 and up. http://************.com/lib/treatment-for-attention-deficit-disorder-adhd. Perhaps the insurance company is not up to date with new regulations? Or can his doctor petition the insurance company for an exception? But other things that you can do. I highly recommend getting the book, "The ADD/ ADHD Answer book," by Susan Ashley.
