adderall

Avatar n tn ve been reading a whole lot over the weekend and hope to attmept to address my ADD more with diet and less with the drug but I will say adderall has opened my eyes to the possibilities for me.
Avatar n tn I know no one here is really qualified to answer this, but how would you think a low dose (10mg) of adderalls stimulating effects, compare to drinking energy drinks, and using nicotine several times a day (I chew, about 3 times per day). I am on a low dose of adderall, 5mg twice per day, it should probably be more but it has a positive effect and im comfortable with it right now.
Avatar f tn Maybe I'm getting Adderall and Ritalin confused then. Could have sworn I lost all motivation for life on Adderall and became even more hyper on Ritalin. Did I mention I'm dyslexic? But no Sandman is right.
Avatar n tn I was taking 20 mg of adderall before but I was drinking to much caffeine in order to get more stimulation like I have with the 25 mg of adderall so my psychologist upped the dose of adderall to 25 mg so I would not drink so much caffeine.
Avatar m tn If it were legal, that is, a generic form, you would still need a prescription. So it is just junk. Get a prescription for generic Adderall. It is less expensive than the proprietary drug.
Avatar n tn I have been taking celexa since december 2008 at 40 mg a day along with 25 mg of adderall xr I seem to have been doing good for awhile then it seemed not to be so effective anymore.
Avatar n tn I am currently in medical school and have been taking adderall for some time now and notice that when I am taking in caffeine along with adderall I experience muscle twitching within my arms, legs, and fingers. Previously to my arrival at school, I was checked out by a neurologist who performed a NVC/EMG and said everything was fine.
Avatar f tn m not allergic to anything, I do exercise, and the Adderall it works, been keeping me feeling with energy without any effects like caffeine pills ( I take Vivarin sometimes, so that I don't zone out at work) so I think I take Aderall sometimes as a replacement to a caffeine pill ( which I don't think is very good, but it just feels like a better solution than Vivarin), and I don't stress much at all, only when it comes to relationship problems, or when I depressed about something ( a
Avatar n tn do not take it it is addicting and has killed people especially while working out , it speeds up the heart and can cause heart attack that in conjunction with another stimulant adderal more than likely could kill you no joke.
Avatar m tn HELLO I AM NEW TO THE FORUM. I CAME HERE LOOKING FOR HELP WITH MY ADDERALL. I AM 42 MARRIED AND HAVE 4 KIDS. I ALSO LIKE YOU HAVE FOUGHT DEPRESSION MY WHOLE LIFE. I AM ON CELEXIA 40MGS. PROZAC 60MGS. AND LAMITCAL 300MGS. AND AS OF A WEEK AGO ADDERALL 10MGS. (IMMEDIATE RELEASE) I WAS DOING OK WITH MY DEPRESSION UNTIL THE ADDERALL. IT MAKES ME FEEL HOPELESS AND I GET THAT SAME DOOMED FEELING AS YOU DO. I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS DEPRESSED IN MY LIFE!
Avatar m tn I do not drink bevs with caffeine, but I do know that they do suggest for a severe HA to take OTC meds with a soda with caffeine to get the meds into ur system faster, and I have tried it and it does seem to work, unless it is just the caffeine...not sure.
Avatar f tn is there a strong risk from taking adderall 20mg@7-2,with high blood pressure.doctor told me to take blood pressure measurements.
Avatar f tn Nor xanax or shrooms at this point. ARE you diagnosed with adhd? Do you get a speed reaction with adderall or a mellowing reaction?
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 n tn Then I was put on Adderall and from the start my heart went insane. Heart rate in the 160s for a two or three days just from one small dose and would have chest pain and shortness of breath. Everything I read online about my reaction was discussing people who were Adderall addicts and were taking massive amounts...

4451049 tn?1387153437 Thanks to you both! I may have to mention Provigil and Nuvigyl to my Dr. Yes cave I am seeing a LLMD. I don't know that I have access to a GOOD one. What's a "GOOD Lyme specialist"? I have to take what I can get, and be glad to get in and be able to afford it. I'm just in the phase right now where I'm beginning to pick up on things, so I haven't really went into detail yet with the Dr..
Avatar m tn I know I've asked this before, but what KIND of stimulant effect will Adderrall have if I don't have ADD? Amild one like drining a 12 oz soft drink with caffeine? A major effect like 5 cups of very strong coffee? I'm not a coffee drinker so 3 cups of strong coffee really hypes me up. If I have mild to moderate depression and can't take anit-depresants, will Adderrall still calm me if I don't have ADD?
Avatar n tn Hi. I've been under a doctor's and therapist's care for a couple of years dealing with generalized anxiety and mild depression. I've also been fighting fatigue over that time, which still hasn't been ruled out as something physical. In May, my doctor prescribed 20mg of adderall (amphetamines) to take each morning to help fight the fatigue, lethargy and lack of motivation. It had worked very well for a while -- I was able to work regularly and very effectively.
Avatar n tn This is not uncommon, I have this problem as well. 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.
506259 tn?1228788619 I honestly related this to the virus as my son also experienced problems, and doesnt do caffeine or adderall. I stopped the adderall completely really with no problem that I was aware of, however I did end up with every possible symptom of fibro, and then some. Again I attributed this to the nasty virus. However at the end of July, while unusually fatigued and in a great amount of pain, I had to get ready for a family vacation.
Avatar m tn Its not uncommon. Many times caused by drinking coffee or soda ( 'Many adults with ADD/ADHD have lifelong love affairs with coffee or caffeinated sodas. Yet caffeine may exacerbate the effect of stimulant medications, creating anxiety and heart palpitations. You can’t determine what’s causing these side effects -- the stimulant or the caffeine -- unless you gradually wean yourself off caffeine before starting stimulants.

Avatar m tn For as long as I can remember, my hands have been shaking and I haven't been able to figure out how to stop them from doing so. I believe it is some form of kinetic tremor, and is minimal or absent when my hands are at rest. However, when I pick something up, the shaking is more noticeable. I've noticed that this, too, depends on the circumstance.
Avatar f tn i guess it was insisted that its caffeine related. (funny because i had 0 caffeine in the past 24 hours) but then the subject of adderall was brought up. yes i am prescribed to 20 mg adderall xr but ive had palpitations way before ive been on it and i got off of it for a month and still had the same symptoms with it. the only difference is that my heart is a slight bit faster with it which does not bother me anymore than if it were slow with palpitations.
