adderall

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 m tn what are your thoughts on Adderall ir how many mg should a person adult I must say take per day is 90 mg a solid dose for a heavy person?
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.
1182411 tn?1265321044 I used to be on 90 mg of Adderall(both XR and a 30 mg IR tablet)a day. But I told my psych that I wanted to lower my dosage, because though I had no health problems... it just seemed like too much. A psych who's actually really experienced with ADHD and adults will keep upping the dosage. They know you get immune to it, and that every person's metabolism and ADHD are different.
1929058 tn?1323110747 Hey all -- I live near Cincinnati, OH and Adderall IR (generic) has been scarce at best. Back in Sept 2011 I had to call about 10 pharmacies before I found one that had 20mg IR Qty 60. Since then my doc switched me over to Adderall (ER) b/c it is easier to find. I'm not a big fan of how to Adderall (ER) made me feel (little anxious, restless, and oddly enough I had a lot of disorganized thinking -- very strange). Doc put me on Vyvanse this month and not tolerating it well.
Avatar m tn Concerta, 30mg Adderall IR, and 30mg Adderall XR. Concerta gave me migraines. Adderall XR completely sucked. Adderall IR was the best medication that I found until Vyvanse. Now I think Adderall is horrible in comparison. I've been taking 30mg of Vyvanse for a few months now. This has been my adjusted dose from trying 20mg, 30mg, and 50mg. 50mg was wayy too much at the time. 30mg was perfect until about a month ago. It lasted about 12 hours, a huge improvement over 4 hours of Adderall IR.
Avatar m tn I am a 20 year old male and are prescribed Adderall IR 20 mg twice a day. Ok first off I barely can notice anything anymore with the 20 mgs., but when I do take them everything is good to go. While im on Adderall my heart rate is normal but the next day my heart rate is up some. Which makes me nervous so I dont take my Adderall that day so badically I cant get on the routine.
Avatar f tn Well 3 failed college attempts and 5 car accidents later, I decided to see a pshycologist for a few appointments and tests and he diagnosed me with ADHD and wanted to prescribe me a stimulant and chose adderall. I tried 10mg IR and 20mg IR, with great success and only mild side effects but they did not last very long maybe 5 hours max, and I have 13-16 hour work days.
Avatar f tn 5 and weigh post partum at 7 weeks 152 lbs and im at 30mg ir 3x a day. I was taking this dosage before pregnancy about a yr ago when i was 122 lbs and it worked for te most part... AS most ppl may know some docs wont allot pregnant women to have any adderall. I was miserable without it, very depressed, couldnt concentrate or will myself to do anything let alone finish anything and i balooned upto 177 plus lbs and my baby was less than 6 lbs at birth full term.
Avatar n tn I have these & I can't take it anymore...the rubbing of my tongue on the roof of my mouth & teeth due to the Adderall IR & XR...If I recall correctly, it all started when I switched from Adderall to the generic. Has anyone gotten any feedback to this problem?
Avatar f tn m probably going to stay on the adderall xr and maybe see if I can get 1 or 2 adderall ir to add to my day. It says they last 4-6 hrs. I might see what they think about strattera and focalin because I am ADHD combined but have a big problem with the add side and some of the symptoms of the adhd side.
Avatar m tn It's basically the same as a Red Bull and all energy drinks. NOT a relevant solution or replacement for Adderall. Generic IR Adderall isn't expensive at all and is called mixed amphetamine salts or amphetamine, dextroamphetamine mixed salts. Something like less than a dollar per pill.
Avatar f tn Something that you really need to be aware of is that toxic symptoms and signs of overdose can happen even with low dosage milligrams. Popping Adderall every couple of hours will only exacerbate side effects because they are usually intended as extended release capsules/caplets, to be used only once daily. The amount you have taken in the last few days is seriously dangerous. For more information you can check out the FDA site for the "Adderall Medication Guide"...
514443 tn?1224592574 Consider patiently moving to the norepinephrine (Straterra) with Adderall IR as a transition/backup. Take less. Take it less often. And most importantly, be upfront with yourself about lifestyle because diet, sleep, exercise, and stress management are the backbone to how much Adderall you need in everyday life. This will all help prevent sudden tolerance. As always this is not medical advice but questions to discuss with your doctor.
Avatar m tn I also told him about the crash in the middle of the day, and he prescribed Adderall at 10mg IR, to be taken in the afternoons. He also increased the Vyvanse dosage to 40mg. During the next week, I started exhibiting the behaviors that I associate with my depressive symptoms. However, since the Vyvanse makes me lose touch with reality, to some extent, and slows my thoughts significantly, I wasn't really aware of it.
Avatar f tn I have a hunch the nausea is from a combination of eating less due to appetite suppression and a dosage of adderall that is too high, since I let my tolerance build back up? My bowel changes started when I started the new 20 mg XR. My main curiosity is if it affects my digestion like that, is it giving my body time to absorb nutrients from food and supplements. I guess can take my supplements 1 hr before Adderall or at QHS, which is one solution.
Avatar f tn But also note when it is happening. Are you on an extended release Adderall or the IR? Because an XR will release an amount several times during the day which you might be responding to. But, I would look at other factors first. How long does the dizzy effect last? What are you doing just before it happens?
Avatar f tn t know how to help them so the psychiatrist just continues giving it to them along with adderall. They say they have ADHD and that is why they need adderall. 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 m tn I was recently prescribed Adderall IR 10mgs, and the weird thing is, I can breathe so much better. I notice this because after it wears off, I can tell that my breathing has gone back to being a bit difficult. I don't like taking the Adderall all the time, but it seems to have this excellent side effect. When I research this on Google, the majority of articles are about Adderall and shallow breathing, but I have the exact opposite effect--I can breathe better, deeper and more efficiently.
Avatar m tn ive had a serious head injury in 2003 and have impacted wisdom teeth. i've been prescribed adderall IR (not XR sorry) few months before the head injury and adderall worked fine. could be physiological as one psych RN told me. Perhaps the head injury affected my ears as I have slight tinnitus and on and off ear aches. Your input will be considered (not as medical advice, of course). Thank you.
Avatar f tn Vyvanse should last close to 10+ hours. If it does not, its an underdose. Adderall IR lasts 4 to 6 hours and XR 8 to 10 hours. The big question is when is the misbehaving happening? This would give you an idea of (if it is an overdose) when to adjust the medication. Also keep in mind that lack of sleep can really effect a child. Also, just school pressure can do the same.
Avatar f tn They are allowed to have different fillers etc. Up to 20 % diierence from main ingredients. I take generic adderall IR. My pharmacy usually gives me generic by corepharma. Just once had (or gave it to me cause of my complaints) generic by another manufacturer where I didnt have all the side affects and worked much better. I found out its more exspensive so pharmacy doesnt have it often. Anybody can help with what are my rights to get the generic that works?
Avatar m tn I'm prescribed adderal 20mg IR once a day for adhd. I was prescribed recently (a few weeks ago), and take half the daily dose in the morning, a third quarter in the afternoon, and a fourth quarter if it isn't too late, as 20mg IR is a lot to begin with. It's been helping me with my energy, but I'm wondering will this interfere with my recovery from painkillers?
Avatar m tn I'm a 31 year old male and I was recently prescribed Adderall IR 10mg for ADD. The Psychiatrist told me to take two pills a day, as each pill gets out of your system within/around 4 hours. I noticed upon taking the first pill on the first day around 9am, I didn't feel it wearing off until the early evening, so I wasn't about to take another. Although the "wearing off" made me feel exhausted and the same feeling on the second day.
990354 tn?1307132886 But a few psychs will give ADDers who complain of crashing around 6 or 8 p.m. who have night classes or night jobs a 10 mg IR tablet of Adderall or Dexedrine... my psych did that for me when I had classes beginning at 9 a.m., and had a night class at 7 p.m... I was literally dead after working out early in the mornings, and then being in school most the day.
Avatar n tn m getting pretty concerned I may have suffered a TIA the other night after an unusually large amont of adderall I had taken that day. I had consumed a 20mg XR at approx 7am, another 20mg XR at approx 6pm and at around 2am, took another 20 intending to continue studying through the night. Shortly after feeling the onset, my right hand and forearm began to tingle a bit, followed a couple hours later by my right foot.
