Avatar n tn My son is 7 and has ADHD and also chews, mostly on the coller of his jackets, if he's not wearing one he chews on the skin around his fingernails. If he's nervous or anxious he does it more. He was on Adderall for 3 years until my medical stopped covering it, now he's on Methylin ER but has chewed on both meds.

Avatar n tn I have been taking adderall for quite some time and have always felt abnormal side effects specifically with urinating and lower back pain. I spoke to my father and he said that he had prostatitis resulting from adderall. I then looked up prostatits and saw that most of my symptoms related to this condition. My question is, is it possible for the Adderall to cause a case of prostatitis and was it possible for the urethritis to either be caused by the prostatitis or mistaken for it?
Avatar n tn I wasn't sure where to ask this question so if it's in the wrong forum I apologize, but I have a question reguarding adderall. I don't have add or adhd, and i understand the problems doctors have had with adderall abuse. Despite this fact, I have used another person's perscribed adderall a few times. What im wondering is if adderall is only used to treat adhd and narcolepsy. I have always had low self confidence, so low that I would barely talk to anyone.
Avatar n tn Ive been on many different anti depressants for years, my Dr. finally said it may be add and added 5mg of adderall 2x's a day. I think it might make a little difference. If it is Add would 5 mg make any difference?
Avatar n tn How about you try food supplements that have shown to have equal efficacy to Ritalin,Multiple vitimin with B Complex and Vit C . also Fish oil and been tried by many parents,with success, go into your local whole food store,if you have one called "Sprouts "they are very good and will go online for you to find what you need in a Natural Remedy to help you.If the drugs you have been trying dont work its time to find something less invasive that will, Good Luck.
Avatar m tn The psychiatrist then prescribed Adderall (amphetamine salts). I do respond to Adderall. An hour after taking between 10 to 30 mg of Adderall the symptoms are significantly alleviated, meaning I regain my mental energy. Unfortunately, the positive effects of Adderall are not long lasting (only 2 to 3 hours). Based on my lack of response to depression relieving drugs and my positive response to Adderall do you think that my problem is depression-related?
Avatar f tn The dosage was raised a few times then he switched me to Adderall. Tried the XR at 30 Mgs made me exhausted and I was stuck the whole day suffering and pacing, anxious etc. Ended up on 60 Mgs immediate release. It didn't last long enough on me, maybe an hour and a half then terrible crashes unbearable. The crashes bothered my bipolar so I started to split the pills all day long about 8 times to make them work.
990354 tn?1307132886 I have been on both strattera and adderall. Adderall is very addicting to this (me) addict. The strattera didnt give the buzz adderall did. ALSO many people have reported adderall increased depression. I hope this helps. Congrats on getting off the opiates. YOUR AWESOME !!
Avatar f tn My 11 year old son has the following symtoms after a streptosyme infection found in his blood in Nov 2008, and after taking methylin for 5 days in Dec 2008. Could this be related to dystonia and why? 1. frequent blinking 2. painful finger cramping 3. stress induced twitches in left side extremities 4. involuntary movements/jerks in left side extremities 5. muscle stiffness and jerks in left arm, hand, fingers, leg, foot, and toes when trying to relax 6.
Avatar m tn they had me try adderall, adderall XR, Focalin XR, Vyvanse. i definitely dont have bad add/adhd, or even think i have it at all becauase all the stimulants he treid, especially the adderall i felt the extreme stimulation, euphoria, and all the other effects recreational users look for instead of the real pharmaceutical effects taht actually help children and adults with add.
Avatar m tn i know i am an addict been off pain pills 5 yrs but i am on suboxone 16mg a day i have adhd also one of the reasons i took the opiates to cope.Finally i am on adderall 10mg 2 times a day.and it has helped so much i dont have too take the 16mg of suboxone.
Avatar m tn About a few years ago, I had a really bad reaction to caffeine--heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure--over drinking a 20oz of Mountain Dew. I recently started taking Adderall for ADHD (was diagnosed since I was a child but could never swallow medication until early adulthood), and I thought it was really going to mess with my heart. Funny enough, I tolerate Adderall very well with a nominal increase in BP every so often.
Avatar n tn I have noticed that most standard websites do not say whether or not acne may be caused or exaggerated by Adderall. Nonetheless, my clinical knowledge tells me that this may be a possible cause and therefore its best that your child avoids the drug. However, this may only be possible if she is able to continue with her active life without the drug. You must consult her prescribing doctor regarding Adderall and determine the benefits and risks of using this drug and the development/.
Avatar n tn Now my question is how does a 16 year old (or others of any age) abuse adderall? How exactly do they abuse adderall? How is it done? Im asking because I have high position that my daighter is not only "trying" to abuse her vyvanse but I think she also doing adderall and getting it off the streets (from friends she may know or known drug dealers). I can just see a big difference in her behavior.
Avatar m tn ve asked two different doctors about the long term effects of adderall but they both claim there is no information or known studies of prolonged adderall use. I am 33 years old now and I wonder if I will reach a tipping point b/c my tolerence it too high. I have noticed that taking caffine with adderall make my shake and causes my eyes to twitch. If I stay off the caffine I'm fine. I also notice that even if you are taking adderall you can still experience caffine withdraw.
Avatar f tn Sometimes I stop breathing in my sleep. The thing is, it wakes me up completely. Usually, I'll be dreaming, and my vision (in the dream) starts to go all glittery and fuzzy like it does when you stand up to fast. I'll wake up and, sometimes after several panicked seconds where I can't figure out how or don't know what's going on, start breathing again.
