Avatar f tn Hello, yes I have been taking this combination of Vyvanse (70mg per day in the am) and Clonidine (0.2mg in the afternoon and 0.2mg at night). I highly prefer Vyvanse over adderall because I do not suffer from side effects w/Vyvanse as with the adderall. The Vyvanse is much smoother than most all other adhd drugs. I have never experienced shortness of breath while taking Vyvanse, however, I am 25 years old and 180lbs. I am also a Registered Nurse.
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.
672943 tn?1226589081 m on Clonidine and Lyrica to help with the come down, and apparently Clonidine is now being treated for Neuropathic pain + ADHD symptoms; Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks, all.
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 f tn The most frequent combination is a psychostimulant to treat the ADHD and an antihypertenisive (like Clonidine or Tenex) to addres the oppositional behavior. One thing you might consider is employing Strattera ( a non-stimulant) to treat the ADHD and to divide the Clonidine dose over the day to address the oppositionality. In other words, ask the doctor about giving some at night (he might not actually require .
Avatar f tn A couple of months ago he told me that he has been buying a few pills of Adderall here and there from a guy that works at his mall. KNowing my dad and his history of drug dependency/addiction, I just know he is probably abusing Adderall in addition to Tramadol and got knows what else the stupid doctor will give him. Sometimes when I see him I can tell he has not been to sleep for a day or so.
219373 tn?1274921434 i have a 10 year old daughter who was recently diagnosed with aspergers, severe GAD, depression and sever insomnia. she is currently taking meletonin, clonidine and paxil. just prior to having her testing in which she was diagnosed with these she was on adderall for suspected ADD and the adderall was very effective for her concentration and focus, making schoolwork and chores etc much less stressful and frustrating.
Avatar n tn 15 yr old daughter was diag with adhd 2nd grade - although was family "joke" adhd long before. 1st on adderall with explosive behavior - had to try before could take straterra, insurance. Strattera was fine for sev yrs - although only limited imp - just enough to tolerate her. Problems with social interaction and her mouth - she's constantly argumentative and I believe ODD. After menstruation began, strattera appeared worthless.

Avatar f tn My 5 year old nephew was diagnosed a little over a year and a half ago with ADHD and ODD. He was in a preschool program last year that dealt with situations like this and he did AMAZING. He is now in kindergarten and things were going great the first week and now I am getting letters that he is "out of bounds" screaming, yelling, running around. He is on Adderall, Risperdal, and Clonidine..
Avatar m tn First, welcome back~ Is there some reason you found it "ok" to post "as yourself" back in 2011 and 2012 but now think you need some kind of "cover"? ALL of us are addicts here...we will NOT judge you, ok? Honesty HAS to come FIRST. You've been on the addiction merry-go-round for years....alcohol, pills, methadone, suboxone, now amphetamines. Isn't it time to get to the ROOT of why you are so afraid to live this life without a substance?
Avatar m tn Can one who is taking Adderall take Amino acids like this "Thomas Pecipe"? Just wondering... And as for you peedee59... I so can feel your pain! I was right where you were before taking my butt back to the drs. office. Don't turn back now. I had taken my last dose on Tuesday morning, almost through the worst of it. I couldn't, but you can!
14664356 tn?1435869494 He has extreme hyperactive and attention issues, he was diagnosed with adhd last year and takes adderall and also clonidine to help him sleep. He has macrocephaly which was caused from the size of his brain. His brain is bigger than an average adult brain. He has an mri done once a year to make sure his brain isn't growing faster than his skull.
Avatar m tn Still not much for sleep. I try to get to bed by 10, but usually up by 2:30-3 a.m. I don't notice rls, but my wife says she does. I have walked, rode bikes, been in sun, added protein, hydrated, + 50yr. old vitamins daily. It is very hard to hear my 5 year old girl say "why does daddy have no energy"? My dr. has continued the alprazolam and clonidine. Could that be making it worse?
Avatar m tn My Doctor is working with me and helping me in any way he can. I have ADHA and use to take Adderall daily. I asked my doc if I could get back on it while taking Suboxone and he said yes and perscribed it to me again. My question is if I should be taking these two meds together or not? I know my doc perscribed them to me but I can't help but question if it's ok. Does anyone have any takes on this? I am taking 8mg Sub 2x daily and 30mg Adderall 2x daily right now.

Avatar f tn does anyone else take xanx and adderall to gethr................
Avatar f tn Adderall - Adderall is a central nervous system stimulant. It affects chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control. Adderall is used to treat narcolepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Catapres (clonidine) - Catapres lowers blood pressure by decreasing the levels of certain chemicals in your blood. This allows your blood vessels (veins and arteries) to relax (widen)and your heart to beat more slowly and easily.
Avatar m tn ve been on since January and I stopped it 3-4weeks ago and there is still some tenderness. But in addition I was put on adderall about 1-1.5 months before that. Is it possible that the culprit is really the amphetamine and not the propecia ?? Thanks for your help.
Avatar n tn She had been on Adderall for ADHD, went into a hypermanic event and was involuntarily committed for treatment. After her release she went back to her original Psychiatrist who again prescribed Adderall for her. Is Adderall ever used for bipoplar disorder. Everything I have read says no. How can I convince her Dr. to not prescribe it anymore? Please help us.
Avatar f tn How do I get his psych dr to agree to try a mood stabalizer on him? He is currently on Clonidine, Resperidal, and about 6 weeks ago they put him on Adderall as well. Over the last 2 weeks he has been having severe anger issues where he punches and kicks walls, he has also beat a girl up using a stick, and on Saturday he punched me in the head when I told him to take a time out. I am at a loss on what to do anymore.
Avatar n tn So is there a recommended amount of time to let the adderall wear off so I can exercise and feel normal heart rate and breathing wise?
Avatar m tn You have to quit! It's never easy, just do it!
Avatar m tn I've been prescribed adderall for the past 4 years, I currently take 75mg per day. A couple months ago my Dr. started me on strattera in conjunction with my adderall. I have not noticed any improvement in my ability to concentrate or remain organized since starting the strattera, however my anxiety is gone and I am finally happy. A couple weeks ago my Dr. left and I was given a "temp" to take her place.
Avatar f tn Not sure if you know it but clonodine is actually a blood pressure med. During withdrawals our heart rate tends to elevate so it helps keep it down which in turn makes a feel a bit better. It can also help with sleep a little. It kinda helps with the overall antsy feeling. By no means is it a cure all. It does help take the edge off a little bit but it doesn't completely stop any of the symptoms.
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.
