Common Questions and Answers about Adderall xr to ir

adderall

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 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 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.
Avatar m tn ive had a serious head injury in 2003 and have impacted wisdom teeth. i've been prescribed adderall IR (not XR sorry) few months before the head injury and adderall worked fine. could be physiological as one psych RN told me. Perhaps the head injury affected my ears as I have slight tinnitus and on and off ear aches. Your input will be considered (not as medical advice, of course). Thank you.
Avatar f tn Vyvanse should last close to 10+ hours. If it does not, its an underdose. Adderall IR lasts 4 to 6 hours and XR 8 to 10 hours. The big question is when is the misbehaving happening? This would give you an idea of (if it is an overdose) when to adjust the medication. Also keep in mind that lack of sleep can really effect a child. Also, just school pressure can do the same.
Avatar f tn But also note when it is happening. Are you on an extended release Adderall or the IR? Because an XR will release an amount several times during the day which you might be responding to. But, I would look at other factors first. How long does the dizzy effect last? What are you doing just before it happens?
Avatar n tn ve had weekly checkups to monitor my dosage and my doctor and I have slowly worked up to 30 mg of adderall a day (20mg XR AM and 10 IR PM). Since that first week I've been feeling TIRED when taking my adderall and don't think it's working very well anymore.
1182411 tn?1265321044 So I took both every morning, body fat dropped to 2% during season. I changed to small xr combined with low dose IR and it worked much better , especially for active people.
Avatar n tn m getting pretty concerned I may have suffered a TIA the other night after an unusually large amont of adderall I had taken that day. I had consumed a 20mg XR at approx 7am, another 20mg XR at approx 6pm and at around 2am, took another 20 intending to continue studying through the night. Shortly after feeling the onset, my right hand and forearm began to tingle a bit, followed a couple hours later by my right foot.
514443 tn?1224592574 I recently went back on them, started off with 10mg, worked my way up to 70mg. The 60mg XR in the morning, then 20mg IR in the afternoon...... worked wonderful! Was out for a few days, started back on the 60mg and it did NOTHING! After 2 hours I took 2 of the 20mg IR.....still nothing! I know it was stupid, but today I took a total of 120mg in the morning, again...not a thing! Just my usual sluggish, sleepy, moody self. I even fell asleep watching T.V. about 2 1/2 hours after I took 'em!

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 n tn Some states use a database where docs/pharmacists can see all of the narcotic meds you've had filled. What you're doing is actually a crime, it's called "doctor shopping", when you're obtaining the same narcotic from more than one doctor. You're going to need to figure out what to do, do you want help to stop abusing the med? You are risking legal trouble, not to mention getting discharged from your doctor.
Avatar f tn Would suggesting to her to put me on a XR med with my adderall be more effective? She just thinks the 90 is too high but I don't agree. I think I need something more.
Avatar f tn I had an allergic reaction to both, Adderall and Vyvanse, and my body refuses to metabolize these type of drugs properly. What do I do now? Just take Wellbutrin XL 150 for life? I'm a total disaster at work w/out the stimulants. Anyone knows of alternatives? I do take Omega-3s, vitamins, acetyl l-carnitine etc.
Avatar m tn Though maintaining well above average grades, before my senior year of high school I was prescribed a daily dose of Adderall Extended Release (XR) and Adderall Instant Release (IR). From an early age I was identified as gifted, but I sought the prescription because concentration was getting in the way of performance as classes became more involved and I felt as though I suffered certain social problems associated with ADHD.
Avatar m tn I left school and after a year of working with a psychiatrist I found myself in a position to return to school. Meds were Effexor XR, Adderall XR, Wellbutrin, Lamictal, and Lorazepam. During my senior year in college, my father left our family and I experienced a lot of anger and frustration towards this. I thought my family was leaving me. He had an affair for two years and for those two years I tried desperately to hold a job, but could not because I felt so depressed and hopeless.
Avatar f tn I took a break for about 6 months, and now, going back to school I have started back up on Adderall 20 mg XR capsule. I see more side effects with this med than I ever did with the IR- Headaches, "lump in throat" 5 hrs in, severe appitite suppresion, and nausea to the point that I have to lay down for up to 2 hours.
1929058 tn?1323110747 Hey all -- I live near Cincinnati, OH and Adderall IR (generic) has been scarce at best. Back in Sept 2011 I had to call about 10 pharmacies before I found one that had 20mg IR Qty 60. Since then my doc switched me over to Adderall (ER) b/c it is easier to find. I'm not a big fan of how to Adderall (ER) made me feel (little anxious, restless, and oddly enough I had a lot of disorganized thinking -- very strange). Doc put me on Vyvanse this month and not tolerating it well.
Avatar m tn m unable to take Provigil which is a new-ish med for Narcolepsy. My doctors then prescribed Adderall XR, slowly and carefully titrating to a safe level (pretty low dose actually) along with a single 5mg tablet to take as needed (for those after work activities on occasion like parent teacher conferences, those type of activities. Fortunately, I did not SUFFER any effects like the Ritalin, I just have the body makeup that I cannot take it.
Avatar n tn I have these & I can't take it anymore...the rubbing of my tongue on the roof of my mouth & teeth due to the Adderall IR & XR...If I recall correctly, it all started when I switched from Adderall to the generic. Has anyone gotten any feedback to this problem?
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 (Junior year is the first year I started taking/ sometimes double dosing adderall XR) I would take about 20-40 MG a day for school. (Adderall intensifies my symptoms by a big Margin) All the sudden I start experiencing things in class and around me that I'm sure all of you know. Sniffing, looks, coughing, sneezing, etc... My tongue was coated white and my breath was very hot. When I sit in cars even now sometimes all the windows will just fog up uncecessarily. I got terrible brain fog.
