adderall

1085866 tn?1256496382 My doctor put me on adderall XR Oral (but on the bottle it says amphetamine salts). I know that there is usually a feeling out process when it comes to ADHD and the various treatments. However, I have hypertension and in my research, I've noticed that this is not recommended for people with hypertension. I started taking it on Saturday and noticed that my blood pressure, (that I was being treated for with atenlol and lisinopril) shot up to about 160/100 on average.
Avatar n tn good, stay as low as you can possibly get away with as long as you can. in the first few months it's likely that it IS actually still working how it should theraputically, however there is some euphoria from it that may wear off and make you feel like it's not working as well. i'm 25 and have been on 60-90mg/day for 4 years now and i still gotta admit that it works to keep me focused and on task at work, however any hint of euphoria has been gone since about 2.5 years into it.

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 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 n tn This Tongue problem is the side effect of using Adderall medicine. Adderall should be used as prescribed and should avoid overdose, this tongue problem is a minor side effect and if your problem isn't resolved thn you should need to contact your health specialist. Maybe there is a issue with your dosage.
Avatar f tn So he was placed on the same dosage of Adderall that he was on previously. 20 mg 2 times a day, and was also put on Zoloft. I was wondering what other medications would help with mood problems and anger issues? And what would be the fastest acting medication he could take? His anger issues are not to where he is abusive, just agitated, irritated, and it only takes something small to set it off ie..someone cutting him off in traffic. What advice can you give for us?
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 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.
990354 tn?1307132886 Her husband takes twenty mgs of Adderall daily, and sometimes she will take an adderall instead of a vyvanse. Is this safe?? I don't think she is taking them at the same time but, is it safe for her to take an adderall on occasion? She claims the adderall gives her more energy than the vyvanse so she takes it when she has a night that she is working late and so on.
3063045 tn?1340654053 Yep, Noticed you said Adderall. His dosage was about right for Adderall. Way off for V which you said you were on. Wonder if he got mixed up?
Avatar f tn I been taking adderall since before i can remember, atleast 18 years on and off but mostly on. Ritalin never worked... Im 26, 5'5 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.
Avatar f tn My daughter is very competetive in track and just stared taking adderall for her ADD. Will the adderall slow her running down? She is very concerned.
Avatar m tn I stopped taking my perscription to adderall xr 30mg two weeks ago since my semester at college was over. I was taking this dosage for almost three months. Since I have stopped, I have noticed fatigue in the morning along with a foggy thought process through out the day. Is this normal? And how long does this withdrawl last for?
Avatar m tn Adderall speeds your brain up, xanax mellows you out. If you want the adderall energy, it would probably be better to lower dosage or cut out xanax altogether rather than continually upping the adderall. Your bp may be a bit raised on adderall anyway, no need to put excess pressure on your heart by making it work against a downer like xanax. Also possible that the initial side effects of prozac (which usually go away within a week or 2) may be diminishing adderall's effects as well.
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 f tn I currently take Levothyroxine 88mcg(μg) in the morning and 2 doses of Adderall (instant release, not XR) 20mg - one in the morning before classes and the second one whenever I need it depending on my classes that day or things I need to work on. I also later added Celexa 20mg which helped a lot with the anxiety and mood swings - especially from the "crash" of the Adderall. But with ADD meds, no one can tell you what will work best for you, or what dosage, before you try it.
Avatar f tn Adderall is a cakewalk compared to opiates. You will be just fine. Kids stay on adderall and still get into Harvard--in fact, kids are purposefully getting on adderall to improve their grades. Coming off something like adderall is in no way, shape or form as hard as painkillers so I know you can do it. Just drink lots of juice, have some tylenol just in case. You'll be fine, honey.
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.
1012981 tn?1322603293 Anyone here taking Adderall XR or IR, if so what is the dosage you're on and which one do you prefer?
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 Been on vyvanse a week now for my add,and I have finally I think my dosage is right.70mg is whats feels right to me with hardly no side effects at all.The problem is that my doc prescribed me 60 30mg capsules so im trying to figure out how many 30 mg capsules is 70 mg vyvanse which i know that a 30mg vyvanse is 10mg adderall and 70 mg vyvanse is 30mg adderall.Is 7 30mg vyvanse capsules 70mg dose .I switched from taking 30mg adderall twice a day im going to have to call doc tommorroww.
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 f tn However ,over the last three years I have only taken the recommended dosage of 60mg. My question/concern is that last week my doctor mentioned that my heart rate was in the 90's. I honestly thought it was high because I was nervous or because I had taken the stairs up to her office, but I checked it later that day & it was still in the 90's . Last night before going to bed it was 99 . My blood pressure is normal and my lipid panel was normal .
Avatar n tn My daughter is sick and she takes Adderall xr 10mg can I give her pedia care muti-stymptom cold pluse acetaminophen?
Avatar n tn , but its going to be a month before they can get my son in to see him. I decided that I would experiment and cut my sons Adderall dosage in half. He appeared to do rather well and didnt have the ticks. Is this safe to do until I can get in to see the Dr or should I go ahead and continue giving him the full 10mg. ?
Avatar n tn I know someone that I care about dearly who takes 25 mg of Adderall a day for ADD. The other night she was taking pills like candy and going insane with them and just swallowing them. She has about 280 -300 mg of adderall in her system right now at this moment. She took the 280-300mg of adderall all in the past 24 hours and she is acting like she is on speed. She is 120 pounds and is about 5'4''. Could you please tell me if she needs call a poison control right away? Can she die?
