Common Questions and Answers about Adderall with diabetes

Avatar n tn I don't want to discredit the advice of the above post. You should take the utmost of care with any drug you ingest. Using drugs recklessly and carelessly can lead to lots of bad things, including your own death. However, I think that we should all be careful about the way we talk and think about drugs. To say that a drug shouldn't be used because a doctor hasn't written you a prescription is a bit myopic.
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.
Avatar m tn d, i must have stretched for over an hour with no luck. I stayed in shower for hour just letting the warm water try to massage my shoulders. I must have drunk, 5 cups of apple juice and water because i felt somewhat dehydrated. Anyways after a couple hours i felt better, went to the grocery store, came back home ate, talked on phone, etc..While in my chair on computer looking for a job, I noticed my wrists tingling, i lifted and it felt weak. But, the tingle went a way pretty quick.
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 If after adequate sleep you are not rested and able to wake up, it may be helpful for you to get a sleep study and see if there's something going while you sleep preventing you from being rested. Too many of those 3am bedtimes can cause you to need more sleep to catch up, but if they are a rarity, that shouldn't be it. Have you had a checkup for your thyroid and for diabetes or anything that might cause increased tiredness?
Avatar f tn Go to sleep with migraine and wake up with one. Since I tried adderall, I can hardly remember those heavy duty migraines! It works great for my hypertensives. But I just moved to a different state, and doctor doesn't believe that adderall can be helping. How can I be tested for ADHD and get the prescription that works for me? Thanks for help.
Avatar f tn Adderall should relax people with ADD. It relaxes me. She's basically using (abusing?) speed and dumped her boyfriend for no reason, possibly because her endorphines were flowing like crazy and she thought she didn't need him. She might have a tough time getting off it and crash hard. Plus when she gets offensve about her meds, that's a possible indication of drug abuse. Does her doctor know she also drinks every day? This is not a good recipe.
Avatar f tn Hey everyone! I just joined, so I hope i can get some help from people on here. I had problems for two years now, and went to many doctors with no help. All the doctors didn't have an answer for all my changes and problems. I did my research for two years and set up an appointment with an endo and demanded an ACTH test. First thing i said was "I think i have addisons disease." He laughed and asked why?
Avatar n tn what is the effect on depression when combining alcohol with prozac and adderall
Avatar n tn I know this is NOT the way to deal with these problems, just a quick fix that Im going to have to deal with at some point. My life feels unmanageable, Im embarrassed that my friends know Im tweaking, and I can't tell my family because I would have to tell too much. I want to talk to my doctor about tapering off this drug and reclaiming my life...I want to do it in easiest way possible/start regaining some health right away.
990354 tn?1307132886 I just had a doc appointment today to increase my pristiq (my antidepressant) and was hoping to get on something else to help with my severe adhd. My friend takes adderall and I have taken that before which I found worked awesome for me at helping me focus and what not. However, I am having a hard time getting the doctors to understand my issues. I have been on nine hundred different anti-depressants and nothing really has helped which is why I often relapse back to the opiates.
Avatar n tn I also find it hard to keep a conversation with people, whenever i hang out with girls or others i am usually just there being quiet, i really want to be happy and joke and talk with everyone else but it seems so hard. it feels like i have a major lack in personality and just dont care about anything and i dont have any intrests hobbies or anything to hold dear to me.
Avatar n tn One reason that 70 can feel awful is because, while it *is* a normal number for someone w/o diabetes, most of us with diabetes run considerably higher than 70 in order to avoid severe lows. Our bodies adjust somewhat to higher numbers feeling "normal." For a person who consistently runs in upper 100's - 200s, a reading of 100 can feel awful. That's part of why it's so difficult for some folks to improve their control.
Avatar f tn I am a 40 year-old female very newly diagnosed with ADHD. My doc started me on dexedrine 5mg twice a day to start off for now. Is aybody familiar with this medication? It seems like everyone is on newer name brand meds.
760131 tn?1238217597 For sure you dont want to cold turkey of the suboxone, its best to taper down especially when your still at 16mgs/day. With the adderall, I only have some brief experiences with it, but I never had a problem when I quit. But I know of many people who have had problems, its an amphetamine, so its very addictive. Hopefully some more people come by with more experience with adderall, Im not sure what the safest way to detox off.
Avatar f tn Essentially it is prescribed to relieve the nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy for cancer patients and to assist with loss of appetite with AIDS patients.
Avatar n tn I am taking methadone 80mg and Adderall 30mg once a day. Please help me!!!!!!!!! I feel like I am on an episode of Mystery Diagnosis. This used to be a minor inconveneince and now it is ruining my life. I also have had big problems with constipation and bowel movements.
Avatar m tn Like you, I had Adderall one-time with an unknown dosage (the friend that slipped me the pill said it was half of a 20 mg pill). I hope you find some answers, as I haven't yet for mine. The symptoms are quite similar, except I don't get feet or arm numbness.
5757880 tn?1395578022 Since he has now done such, I will give it some more time to see if the Adderall xr also will help him with actual schoolwork. I have gathered that this type of medication needs constant tweaking in the beginning. It may be worth it?! Thank you again. Ps. Sometimes I wonder if crying is a common hobby for moms?!
Avatar n tn For anything medical, continue working with your doc. Beware the possibility of overlap with non-med issues though, that's very common. For the non-med portion, use a CBT sleep training system. Those methods are substance-free and the usual standard of care.
Avatar f tn i have noticed mood swings and irritability with the adderall as well , but then again we all know how those get with an opiate addiction and withdrawal from that...frustrating! lol also, how can i change my username on here?? lol..
Avatar f tn Hey everyone, I have been a suboxone patient for about a year and a half now. I have had no cravings at all whatsoever for opiates or anything to go back and be a user. I had my daughter during this process and was prescribed subutex, which I thought worked well too. Between the time that I had gotten pregnant and had my daughter I had feelings of no sex drive, no motivation, no ''gusto'', etc.
Avatar m tn I even started taking the XR again in college to help me with concentration and memory. I obtained my B.A. degree and now no longer take the Adderall. Though I still struggle with concentration and memory at times I am living without the Adderall. I take a Benzo for the Anxiety but otherwise I lead a healthy, normal, life. Whatever was "wrong" with me as a kid I outgrew!
Avatar f tn Was wondering at this stage in getting clean if taking an adderall (not a million) would assist with energy without prolonging the withdrawl. Has anyone tried this.
Avatar f tn 00pm. After two weeks on this med and dose I found myself trying to take 2 at once to see if it would work since I felt absolutely nothing taking 1 10mg tablet twice during the day. I swear I do not abuse medication but whether my body can't absorb medication or I'm just defective I know that most people on the shear amount of different meds I take daily and then the dosages, it should be obvious that I'm highly medicated. But I'm not at all.
Avatar f tn There is another possibility and that is that you should not be taking Adderall at all. For someone with ADD it allows them to focus. People who take it recreationally use it to lift mood. Which it does. You might want to get a second opinion on your condition. For those with ADD, there are means of adjusting your behavior to make you more productive. My daughter works with ADD children. She trains them to overcome their problems without medication and the results are excellent.
193953 tn?1272075026 Someone came into my work and stole money from my purse and stole a bunch of pills. Hydros, Klonopin, Adderall just to name a few, but not the whole bottle. I noticed the money missing right away because that is the first thing you look at. My mum in law had sent $30 to me for a gift for my daughter, she lives in the sticks of Virginia and doesn't have access to things I do". She didn't even use a money order even though I tell her how unsafe that can be.
