Adderall dosage too high

Common Questions and Answers about Adderall dosage too high

adderall

Avatar m tn - is 340 mg adderall a reasonable dosage / should that high dosage generally raise a red flag? - can adderall cause the above symptoms / in any dosage let alone the one outlined? thanks.
Avatar f tn I would think that if the dose is too high that she might feel the effects. Doctors typically start new patients off on a lower dose and than wait for feed back before they continue. At any rate, it is important to be in communication with her doctor. Dosage does have a partial dependency on body weight. The lighter you are (all other things being equal) the more it might effect you. I would assume the doctor has taken that into consideration. Other thoughts.
Avatar n tn The dose might be too high. I've had similar things happen when I was on too high a dosage of Adderall. If I'm not mistaken, Vyvanse is a longer-duration version of dextroamphetamine - not too far from adderall, which is a mixture of amphetamine salts (mostly dextroamphetamine). Mention it to your pdoc - chances are it's from the dosage and it needs to be changed a bit. When mine was a bit too high, I noticed weird things like that, such as my tongue would continually rub my teeth.
Avatar n tn i notice on the mornings after i took and abnormally high dose for me my heart will hurt all the next day.while im high i cant eat anything, ill try but ill get sick and stop or throw it all up. but when i try to ease off my dosage i get so sick. sleep weeks at a time, terrible depression. when fall started i ran out of my script and couldnt get another one, and for months i spent in the bed not leaving the house being a complete hoarder and depressed. Im afraid ive gone too far.
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.
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 Adderall 10 mg = Vyvanse 30 mg, Adderall 20 mg = Vyvanse 50 mg, Adderall 30 mg = Vyvanse 70 mg. I always start lower than expected with a change to Vyvanse, as for about 10-15% that anticipated dose of Vyvanse proves too much. I don’t want folks on my watch to experience 10% problems." I would also check the comments in the above link and some of them might apply to you. the link is - http://www.corepsych.
Avatar n tn Tics are one of the side effects of too high a dosage. Therefore, you are right in reducing the dosage. If the prescribing doctor did not suggest a reductions of the dosage or a change of medicine, you are right in finding another doctor. If you reduced the dosage on your own and your son is doing better, good for you. If you do not want to call your doctor again, and until you see another doctor, just call the pharmacist that you use and confirm that you can cut the pill.
Avatar m tn First, xanax & adderall can both cause dependency. Xanax is especially scary because many people can develop a high tolerance very quickly, and have to continually take more and more. And since adderall can actually cause depression-type symptoms, it seems really strange that your doc would treat your depression with it. Adderall should really only be taken by individuals with ADD/ADHD(and then only those whom the disorder affects severely) or narcolepsy.
Avatar n tn My doctor recently started me on 40 mg of prozac a little over 2 weeks ago. I have taken numerous depression drugs in the past where my doc has started me on a very low dosage and worked me up to higher dosages but on prozac we went straight to 40 mg. I have been having headaches, nausua and dizziness. I thought these symptoms would fade away but I have had no luck. I'm beginning to wonder if this dosage is too high. I don't know anything about prozac....
1182411 tn?1265321044 Does anyone else have an unusually high tolerance to Adderall or other stimulant medications for their AD(H)D? I am shocked at the amount of mg's it takes for me to actually get a mild benefit from Adderall. It is a prescribed amount from my Dr, I'm just shocked at the resistance I have to it, and I still don't think I'm getting much out of it. (I'm a 30 year old Woman, I'm 5'5, and 135lbs.) Has anyone else gone through this, or is also going through this???
Avatar f tn However, I am very suspicios of this as well because they use to also be addicted to cocaine, and I know adderall can give you a high similar to cocaine. What kind of treatment is available and is there any financial aid?
Avatar f tn But typically doctors start you off at the lowest possible logical amount and then wait for feedback before upping the dosage. The 30mg adderall that you were on was probably an extended release version. It was bigger because it packed enough to last all day. Allergies are pretty rare, and if you had it, I think that you would know fairly rapidly. Remember, anxiety can easily cause breathing troubles (hyperventilating, etc.). Beers shouldn't be a problem.
Avatar f tn He has since (at my prodding) switched her medication to 20MG of Adderall once a day. Since she has had horrible mood swings and is now picking her skin! My fiance says the trade off isn't enough for him to want to keep her on the medication. I would like to know what amount of this behavior is normal and what is excessive, just so we can maybe put it into perspective.
Avatar n tn how do u know if you have taken too much adderall as a result of a severe anxioty and depression bout? . i had a really bad major depression day where i thought it be a good isea to take 210mg of adderall at once with a fiorecete with codeine, but started by taking 3 darvicet. my normal dosage is 30mg a day but i can only take 20. 30 i cant breathe. i took the 210mgs at like 300p today and all that happend was i got extremly nauseas n threw up but thats all. i feel sick.
Avatar n tn I don't know much about Adderall except that it is a stimulant. A friend of mine had to go off it because it started giving her horrible panic attacks and high heart rate, along with other symptoms you've mentioned. She never had these things before. It didn't happen until she was on it for a few months, too.
Avatar f tn I think maybe you are taking too high of a dose if you feel high. you should be taking just enough that you feel focused and relaxed.
452191 tn?1208754863 I have since stopped all the other meds, lowered my dosage of the add meds and try to lay down when my heart rate gets too high. I wonder too as to what exactly its truly doing to my heart, but I need the medication to overcome my add so badly. It's such a frustrating contradiction.
561801 tn?1216195356 I have done this amount for maybe a year now. I realize by all the other postings that this seems to be an extremely high dosage. I also have read some postings were people have lost emotions, and happiness, etc... I am at that point, yet I stil dont feel high or anything off the pills, I just feel like i believe normal people feel on a daily basis. I am 31 years old, I Have had a house built for myself and my wife of 8 years.
Avatar m tn Since he has gone the opposite way, I think the dosage is too high. This is something that his doctor needs to know about. I also think that there is a serious communication problem going on and I blame that on the doctor. If he is too busy to explain to you what to be looking out for and what to expect - then allmymarbles is right. You need to look around for another doctor.
