Avatar m tn bacterial infections! So I started researching side effects to Adderall and after much digging around I finally came across a post in a woman's forum regarding a common STD which is a bacterial infection and the women were discussing Adderall. Sure enough, there were tons of ladies complaining that they have had an increase in all that is bacterial infections since taking the medicine. It seems to be linked, Bacterial Infections and Adderall.

Avatar m tn s weird too because I do have a bit of anxiety without the Adderall, but with the Adderall there is still some nervous energy there, but it feels more focused. Like the anxiety is attempting to rear its ugly head but I'm able to keep it at bay a little better. Maybe that's just a coincidence. Also, I was concerned that my BP jumped up a few points when I started taking it and I hope that will normalize a bit as well.
Avatar n tn Sometimes, however, I get tics and a nervous feeling in my chest, along with slight slight chest pain. Much of this may be nervousness or plasibo anxiety, but I am not sure. I do smoke cigarettes and have coffee every day, which may also increase these side effects. I am nervous for my health, but do realize that for the most part I never get these tics or nervousness in my heart. My heart rate usually does not increase and I do not have shortness of breath.
Avatar n tn I am writing because I am worried about my roomate.She is prescribed to 100mgs of adderall a day (which I think is way too much) and still runs about 2 weeks after she gets her prescription.The days after she gets her prescirpiton filled she doesnt sleep (when she does its usually for no longer than 2 hrs.).
Avatar f tn m going to faint about 2 hours after taking my 10 mg in the a.m. Is this due to my lack of appetite? Is there something I can do to alleviate these side effects? Does this mean I cannot take Adderall anymore?
Avatar n tn His teacher and myself (my son too) have noticed a postitive change in his work output at school and during homework sessions. Two of the side effects are of great concern to me. My son can't sleep until well after 10:30 pm. (we are trying Melatonin, but haven't found the right dosage). The other side effect that is most troubling is the loss of appetite. When we went to see his specialist, 6 days ago, he'd lost 4.5 lbs (in 40 days).

You need to be getting in good long walks, etc. I never have heard of an Adderall side effect of vertigo - but something is definitely making it worse. It might be due to your blood pressure problems. Thus, you might want to monitor your BP before taking the meds and then after? But, whatever you do, talk to your doc! Hope this helps a bit.
1756970 tn?1314376733 couldnt interpret what people were wanting from me. i heard them but just panic mode set in. i want to know could it be an side effect of the concerta? i also had a few panic attacks and i have never had one of them. i also had some mania feelings. like the energizer bunny. my brain wouldnt slow down and my body was like pumping. today i have energy and organized. yesterday, i was in like a melt down mode. my brain again was foggy, tired and all i wanted to do was sleep. ugh!!! any advice!!
Avatar n tn According to the regulatory agency, they received safety information concerning the association of sudden deaths, heart-related deaths, and strokes in children and adults taking recommended doses of Adderall and Adderall XR. This risk of Adderall death seemed particularly high for individuals with structural heart abnormalities. In response to these findings, the FDA issued an advisory warning about the possible risk of death, but allowed the drug to remain on the market.
Avatar n tn I take adderall (10mg) for focus management. I have a couple side-effects that I don't really mind (dry mouth, loss of appetite, more outgoing/energy, weight loss) but I do have one strange one that I'm not too sure about. I take my adderall after I eat a full breakfast, which is normally my only meal of the day (adderall dismisses my appetite). After about an hour of taking my medication, I have to go to the bathroom.
5717054 tn?1372958545 Many doctors have different ideas on what my problem is i gotten to the point i only use medicine that i think works because of side effects. 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.
Avatar n tn After reading many stories on-line of pregnant women taking adderall, I decided to start taking it again after the 3rd month at 1/2 the dose, which is 10mg a day. Does anyone believe that after the crucial period of development, lets say in your 6th month, would it be okay to do things you wouldn't do in the beginning? Like, take your meds (adderall), or have a glass of chardonnay? Once every weekend? I am in conflict, being that I am 6 months today.
Avatar m tn At this point I have found that eating more and getting at least two or three really good nights of sleep will restore the effect of adderall on normal dosage. Of course to get the good sleep you have to lower your dose of adderall for a day and don't take any after about 11:00 am in the morning they day you decide to get a good night of sleep. It also has to be natural sleep, no sleeping pills. I don't know why but 9 hours of sleep with sleeping pills does not do any good.
Avatar f tn am a concerned aunt my nephew is 14 and was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD in early childhood.
Avatar n tn Have you felt it has helped you as this is the main thing ,most of these drugs have side effects if it has worked for you ,perhaps you are one of the lucky ones, pur Adderal into your search engine and add weight gain,
Avatar n tn 3 weeks would not be long enough for prozac to start working properly, but it can still cause side effects in that time, and if the side effects are bad then it's not unusual for a doctor to take their patient straight off it as there wont be withdrawl symptoms unless the patient has been on it for quite a while.
Avatar m tn Definitely tell you doctor ASAP. Side effects are so varied with each drug and effects each individual differently. All I can say is that I went on ADD medicine and had lots of side-effects and they passed within a few weeks to a month or so. Again, it might take longer for others. You could consider switching to another medicine.
Avatar f tn I don’t go back to my doctor until the 30th and I called today to see if I could get in sooner and I was told he is out of the country and all of the nurses there are booked up and if I moved my appointment it would be bumped back to the second week of June, and this is a private practice, so there isn’t another doctor at this facility, an outside doctor is coming in a few times a week but they can’t get me in. I really am at a loss of what to do, since I can’t get in to see him.
Avatar f tn Based on the studies of Adderall XR (a long-acting version of Adderall), the most common side effects included: Loss of appetite (anorexia) Dry mouth Difficulty sleeping (insomnia) Headaches Abdominal pain (or stomach pain) Temporary increases in blood pressure Weight loss (see Adderall and Weight Loss) Emotional changes Nausea, upset stomach, or vomiting Dizziness Diarrhea Feeling of weakness (asthenia) Increased heart rate (tachycardia) Infection, including urinary tract infect
Avatar f tn My daughter has been on Adderall imediate release twice a day for a year now for ADHD and has no side effects. She actually is a better eater and sleeps better with it. I am not sure why you take it but i do know that the XR did give her bad side effects. She was more hyper and was losing weight. Maybe you could try the 20 milligrams of the immediate release instead of the XR twice a day or even a lower dose. You maybe sensitive to the high of a dose.
Avatar m tn Hummm, first time I have heard of that problem. Usually adderall is out of your system in 8 to 10 hours. This really sounds like it might be due to something else that you are taking? An anti-anxiety medication which builds up in your system would be my first guess. Are you on any other medications?
