Common Questions and Answers about Adderall xr how long to take effect
adderall
I recently had to switch my add meds from adderall xr to vyvanse and I am on day 2 and I feel like I havnt taken anything. I am extremely tired, have anxiety with everything going on around me at once, and I cant concentrate at all, I walked around my kitchen for 15 minutes not knowing why i wass but knew there was a reason then finally got my car keys that i was needing to get in the first place. Is this normal?
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.
Is there anyway to reduce this while taking adderall, and what could it be caused by? I was then switched to 18mg Concerta ER and I still get the same side-effects but they are about 85% less severe and last alot shorter 1-2 days max, but doesnt even work for me. Maybe amphetamines are too "strong" for me?
I diagnosed with ADD and was prescribed Adderall 20mg XR when I was about 22 years old, and I didn't have a problem at all except slightly dry mouth.
My worry is the long term effect of being on ADHD medication. They both take 12 hour Concerta, which was the best choice of all options given to us. My oldest seems to handle it very very well. My youngest is doing well on it too. But needed just a little boost so I am hoping it will be enough to add the Clonodine instead of increasing her dose of Concerta.
Has anyone else developed a sore throat or cough on Adderall XR? If so does regular Adderall have the same effect.
I’ve recently (about 4-5 months ago) started ADHD meds after being off for about 8 years. I suffer from EDS (excessive daytime sleepiness) in addition to ADHD of the primarily inattentive type. I find vyvanse and/or Ritalin to be helpful in terms of making me alert and functional which of course has the secondary benefit of improving my executive function issues.
I've been taking regular adderall (non xr) for 10t years for ADHD. The medicine does help with the ADHD but I'm concerned with the long term effects. I know Adderall can cause weight loss /decrease appetite as a side effect. With the exception of the past couple of years I was able to keep my wieight down partly due to the drug. However the past 2 years or so I seem to be gaining wieight.
I think it is much more likely that during class time you are sitting for long periods of time and that is what the contributing factor is. There is a pretty simple way to tell. Take Adderall on a Wednesday (when you are not in class) and see if you have the swelling. or don't take the Adderall one day when you go to class.
I am not positive, but I think that if you find the Adderall is not the problem, then you should consult with a doctor.
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.
Also the Dose of V should be 30mg compared to 10mgs of adderall XR to be somewhat equal.

Try Adderall XR...it's an extended-release capsule. Regular Adderall is an immediate-release tablet, which wears off after maybe 5 hours, i'd say. But Adderall XR should do the trick...
Now I would definitely agree with these other advisors due only to the sort of out of control behavior your daughter is exhibiting while taking Adderall. I have been on Adderall XR 20 for 10 years and it has no more effect on me than a strong cup of coffee (of course, since I am sensitive to coffee this has a stronger effect on me than on others) and makes it possible for me to get out of bed, get out of the house, and get things done. But then I am a severely depressed bipolar 2.
I mean if you are living anywhere back East or in the Midwest in this sucky weather and stuck indoors - I would be super depressed. Adderall is not going to fix that. Do all you can to get outside. Take the child and walk the indoor malls. Yoga classes, gyms, etc. Do something to change up things. Things are very different for you now then they once were. You may be expecting too much from the meds?
Hope this helps.
# HIGH ABUSE POTENTIAL Adderall carries a black box warning—the strongest warning issued by the FDA short of a drug recall—informing consumers about the serious risk of Adderall abuse. This Adderall warning states that taking amphetamines for long periods may lead to Adderall addiction. The warning details the significant risks posed when Adderall is taken for non-therapeutic use or is distributed to others.
