Common Questions and Answers about Adderall side effects on people without add

adderall

Avatar f tn I was wondering what effects it would have when taken with adderall, or as a replacement for other meds. What sort of side effects, and/or lack of side effects to make other meds more effective.
Avatar f tn You have been on it only two weeks. Its takes awhile for your body to get used to the meds. But more importantly, everybody is different. So your doctor will start you off at a certain level and wait for info from you to see how to adjust it. If he doesn't hear from you, he won't. So give him a call!! This is a place where it is perfectly ok to experiment with meds. You might find that you can cut each dose (or the last two) by 5 mgs and it will be perfect.
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 f tn Hi I would tell your friend that adderall is just like speed. And it has very bad side effects ,one of the side effects is Seizures and she is also on wellbutrin and that has a warning all of it that it can cause Seizures also. So she shouldn't be on Adderall . Have they ever done a EEG on your friend .is see she is on topomax and that is used for seizures also. she should get an EEG done on her. It may be that she is having Seizures and not ADD because ADD can look like Seizures.
Avatar m tn s including Prozac have been shown to prolong the effects of Adderall. Thus causing the side effects that Sandman describes. I, personally, never had any of those side effects. I was on an excruciating treatment for liver disease a few years ago. Consequently, my doctor put me on Prozac while on Adderall. It did calm me down somewhat. He told me that Prozac was the ssri of choice for liver disease patients. I would try decreasing the dose of Adderall.
Avatar m tn Hi, Everybody is different and will experience side effects in a different way. Typical side effects of Adderall include elevated blood pressure, restlessness, dizzyness, insomnia, euphoria, dry mouth, diarrhea, constipation, and impotence. Hope this answers your question.
Avatar n tn 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 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 f tn Strattera also does help some people, but many get some pretty wicked side effects from it - myself included. All in all, finding an ADD med that works for you is a matter of trial and error by you and your doctor. Sometimes the first thing works great, and sometimes you have to try a few meds and tweak the dosage before you get the best results with the least side effects. But once you do, it's a big help.

Avatar m tn t need the drugs to get by in life. Adderall is just like speed and a lot of people get hooked on it.It is a street drug that a lot of people use to get a high . The side effects of these drugs are very bad. if you look these drugs up you will see that people have had sudden death and some have had heart problems and strokes ,and Seizures. My son started having Seizures after being on ADDERALL witch did nothing for him and was then put on CONERTA , these drugs changed him .
Avatar n tn Oh I am sorry I didnt realise that well how about you put something into your search Engine regarding it, put Adderall side effects, in.there are also other Forums out there, are you due to see your Doctor soon maybe put it to him .I have read that if the wrong dose is administered there can be a problem but I am assuming you gave the dosage you were told to give,Has your child got a problem now ,that you are asking for infromation regarding it.
956253 tn?1247617991 the pain is not worth it anymore.so i willtry to get on another drug for add without sufa.not sure which one yet,i am going to counseling now.
636964 tn?1222990085 The SENCO at my sons junior school told me that once, that these drugs won't work if the person doesn't have adhd/add. I know my son didn't have side effects with ritalin but does with concerta. Also a doctor told me once there are 7 kinds of adhd. from very hyper to very withdrawn.
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.
Avatar f tn My son who is 8 was taking concerta 36 mg but was having side effects such as sleep and eating problems, now we have him on Addreall xr and he is doing fantastic in school sleeping no problem but will not eat all day he dosen't even want breakfast in the morning, as a parent I know he needs the med for school but I am afraid of what no eating will do to his little body, is there any other drugs out there that has little or no symptoms, I feel at my witts end!
Avatar f tn It is best you look up (on the web or with information that came with your medication) side-effects. I know from my wife's experience that a depression medication she takes can cause the problem you describe - she also had trouble with mental fog (memory and confusion). Lowering the dose has helped. Of course she still has to deal with the depression - but there are ways other than drugs to do that and ways that don't have side-effects on you body and mind.
Avatar n tn I agree with your doctor. My brother is a recovering alcoholic who "abuses" caffeine because of the high it gives him. I firmly believe he is and has always been ADD, but it wasn't diagnosed back then. Caffeine has other side effects if used in excess. It gives you a high, but gives you a big down once it has run through your system. It can also cause ulcers. The good thing about adderall is it is a time released drug, keeping you feeling balanced all day.
Avatar n tn I have read on other health boards that mixing antidepressants and Adderall should not have interactive side effects. Both, however, have different side effects of their own. Since you have not noticed the fatigue during the 9 years you've been taking Zoloft, it would only make sense that Adderall is the main cause of it now. It's obvious that you are comfortable with and trust Zoloft to continue to do the wonderful job its been doing for so long, so I personally wouldn't stop now.
Avatar f tn I cannot help but wonder if any of these parents have even taken the time to research the long-term effects of amphetamine on a small child’s mind? I know what adderall has done to my mind after 10 yrs. I started taking adderall in my mid twenties and it has caused some brain damage, it is difficult to remember what I did the day before or telephone numbers. I cannot even imagine what it is doing to a child's mind.
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 m tn There are many people who are misdiagnosised .And like said already Adderall is just like speed. And can cause very bad side effects,like Seizures.I am not a Doctor but it sounds like you might of had a Seizure witch can happen from taken these drugs they use along with other very bad side effects. Try taken Vitamin B6 and B12 and Omega 3-6-9 every day and see if that helps you in time to be able to do things better.
