adderall

Avatar f tn Then gradually reduced for lorazepam replacing it with diazepam (Valium). The Valium has a much longer half life so you don't go through interdose withdrawal... Eventually you chip down the Valium and it's not that hard... 2mg Xanax is a lot, considering the starting dose is usually .25mg. Anyways Benzodiazepine Withdrawal Hell. Don't start it and of you do, dont go longer than a week, if that.
Avatar f tn I am currently taking Valium for my anxiety and depression and adderall for my ADD. Its been about 2 years now since i stopped taking lexapro and i have been much better since. I would talk to your doctor about other forms of treatment and explain what your actual side effects are.

673186 tn?1225983925 I personally tried severalk times my first two years if college and I never had taken more than 30 ngs and that seemed like a very high dose and i gotwith very jittery and a huge efffect. A few months ago I was diagnosed with ADHD and instead of Adderall I tried Strattera knowing my addictive personality and past with drug abuse.
Avatar n tn been taking Adderall valium and oxycodone for 12 years all drug tests have shown compliance. now I got a false neg and cant get medicine when I took them as prescribed. what could cause that? tried cbd oil but nothing else, the blood test said I didn't take the valium and adderal and a small amt of oxycodone. I took them all that am . why is it wrong?
Avatar f tn m not sure why a doctor would prescribe Valium to someone with narcolepsy - stimulants like Adderall can often leave someone feeling strung out, burnt out, and even more tired in the long run... versus something like Provigil (aka modafinil) which is non-narcotic and promotes awareness and wakefulness.
1518427 tn?1294365021 I wanted to wait until after Thanksgiving to start this med. I also take 30mg/day of Adderall (1/2 tablet twice daily) and 10mg of Valium twice daily. I've tried other anti-depressants but always stopped taking them because of the side effects. They just made me feel weird and anxious. This time, however, I am determined to continue the Celexa until I see benefits. My main question is what's the best time of day to take Celexa? I sleep very well now due to the Adderall.
Avatar f tn 2mg valium a day.. i know its not good to over use.. Thankfully i know a lot about addiction and the baggage that comes along with it..just stupid to not use it to my advantage... i v been in a rehab for 2 years in-patient when i was 14... and relapsed at the age of 17 .... this time i dont want to wish or pray ,, i m just going to do it.. regardless how crapy i feeel... i ssaaw ur post ...about being positive...i agree ..thats the most important part...
403399 tn?1201833095 Hi, I'll try to help but I need a little more information. How much adderall were you taking? How were you taking it? And how long had you been using it? That's the first issue. Generally you will have very little energy and sleep quite a bit. Other than that, most of the withdrawal from adderall will be psychological ie. You will crave the drug because youre so darn tired. It will get better each day, just bear with it and you should adjust back to normal in a couple of weeks.
Avatar f tn Hello I've been taking Vicodin percocet adderall valium xanax for Awhile now and I need to STOP it maybe getting of control the Vacodin was 750 mg.
Avatar n tn The question is can you live with the extra anxiety if the adderall is really helping you? The problem with taking an upper (adderall) and a downer (ativan) together is that they will counter act against each other and neither one will be as effective in your system. You said that you were just diagnosed? Is this your first add medication? You may want to consider trying a different one if the adderall continues to give you problems.
Avatar m tn i was wondering if maybe taking the adderall while on the antibiotic would be a problem? what health risks would this pose?
Avatar m tn I have a love/hate realationship with the Adderall. Although I am prescribed 20 mg Adderall XR 3 times a day, I never take all 3 pills a day. Right now I am down to 1 pill a day. I love the fact that the Adderall gives me energy but I hate that after a few days of taking it I feel physically exhausted. I have tried to give up the Adderall but I always go back to it because taking the Celexa alone doesn't work.
731081 tn?1256283166 I was out drinking a lot last night and i was pretty hungover and today i got my adderall back...Well i took my adderall like i should but i am having SEVERE anxiety...I know its a mixture of the alcohol leaving my body and the medication...I just want to know what to do to get rid of it...
Avatar n tn I am a stay at home mother with three young boys. I have been taking zoloft (100mg daily) for depression for about nine years. The only times I was not taking zoloft is during my second and third pregnancies (and, boy, it was tough). Zoloft has changed my life - and my family's happiness. Just recently I was also diagnosed with ADD. My doc gave me adderall 10mg IR to try.
Avatar n tn t just ask for Adderall because I thought that I had ADHD. I am no longer with the doctor that I was with over the summer. I have not been taking my anti-anxiety med since starting Adderall, but that is because my doctor didn't mention to me if I should stop taking it.
Avatar n tn My drugs of choice were opiates so I'm not familiar with the drugs you've been taking. Although many years ago (many, many yrs) I was taking "Black beauties" for quite a while. The older folks may remember them. I don't remember any withdrawal effects when I stopped them, mental or physical. I just stopped taking them because they were making me really loco. There were also other drugs I had "flings"with, and just stopped, never looking back.
Avatar n tn I was trying to figure out if i could use adderall during my manic episodes. I am currently taking valium for the increased anxiety and depkote for mood stabilzation. I was also concerned about the fact that i seem to be going back into a drepression state. So i was wondering if i should go back to taking antideppressants. So if you could give me some insite i would really apperciate it.
Avatar f tn Well, see when I switched from Concerta to Adderall, I just stopped the Concerta and went to taking the Adderall XR. After a few months the XR did not seem to work very long or throughout the day. So, in 2007, I went on Adderall short acting pill form which generic form is amphetamine salts or amphetamine mix tabs. With this pill, first of all, it is extremely inexpensive. I pay $30 for 180 tabs 20 mg each. I cut each in half and take each half 4 times a day a total of 40mg.
Avatar m tn m just wondering how long you had or have been on Adderall. A lot of your symptoms are consistent with taking Adderall, especially on 80mg. I took Adderall and after two weeks I was paranoid, thought people were talking about me, police following me, depressed and anxious to the max!! After I stopped it the symptoms slowing got better. Come to find out all those thoughts were crazy and not true. I thank God I stopped that med.
Avatar f tn My best friend was diagnosed by her primary care physician as being ADD a few months ago. She is 46 yrs old. He put her on a low dosage of Straterra at first but after 2 weeks the side effects required a change in medication. He put her on a low dosage of Adderall (18mgs per day). She also takes 450 mgs of Wellbutrin a day for depression and 100 mgs of Topamax for migraines. Add to that the fact that she drinks a few glasses of wine every night and you have quite a cocktail.
Avatar m tn Vyvanse is not a good medicine for people with high blood pressure and you might talk with your doctor and see if there are alternatives. Beta blockers do antagonize the effects of vyvanse. Maybe a calcium channel blocker or an ACE inhibitor would be better--but first check and see if Vyvanse is a must for you.
1666464 tn?1303225358 First off I want to say thanks for your input. I really do appreciate it along with the additional information that you forwarded me. I too have thought that something else could possibly be causing my anxiety besides the Vyvanse. I don't know it's really weird but here's how it usually works when I try to go on some sort of ADD/ADHD medication. Also mind you that I've only been prescribed Adderall and Vyvanse so I can only reference the symptoms that I receive from these.
Avatar n tn HAS ME ON (4) 30 MG ROXYCODONE DAILY , 50 MG FETYNAL PATCH EVERY 3 DAYS, AND (3) 10 MG VALIUM DAILY. I FAILED MY DRUG TEST SO I AM SURE I WILL BE KICKED OUT. ANY ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO? I KNOW I SHOULDN'T HAVE FAILED BUT I DID. I DON'T WANT TO DIE THOUGH, ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Avatar n tn If so, you are not helping yourself with taking these above medications with alcohol, if we are speaking about a glass of wine or a beer it's not the greatest choice but not all is lost. If you speaking about drinking frequently then you are not only not helping yourself but you are putting your mental and physical health in danger. Please don't do that to yourself, surely your aim for taking medication is to get well, not the exact opposite.
Avatar n tn If I could I would go cold turkey from zoloft so I could go right back to taking the adderall. Adderall is the only thing that has EVER made me feel good and like I had the chance at a normal life. It may sound overly dramatic, but it's the only thing that ever gave me even hope. It really felt like a miracle to me and I hope it has the same effect on you. You sound so much like you have felt the way I have, so it wouldn't surprise me if it had the same effect on you.
1725558 tn?1309737496 thanks girl, glad to meet you. I have been off the opiates(oxycodon, oxycontin) for the past 6 months when I lost my insurance. I now have it back but Dr. Cochran is not takeing any new patients. So I'm kinda floating by on my nurontin. I also take adderall for ADHD and valium to help with panic attacks. I am now seeing just a pyschiatrist. Who doesnt treat bi-polar with opiates. He believes that it was working for me but is not familiar enough with the recent studies.
Avatar n tn I am 22 years old, I was diagnosed with ADD then ADHD as a child. I quit taking Ritalin and Concerta after Elementary school if not before. I am in College now and my little brother(18) had 30 mg Adderall. So I asked him if I could take one every Tuesday and Thursday before class. So last Thursday 2/11/10 was the very first pill I took.And gah did I feel great, I was focused in on my classes etc.
