adhd

Avatar n tn She had been on Adderall for ADHD, went into a hypermanic event and was involuntarily committed for treatment. After her release she went back to her original Psychiatrist who again prescribed Adderall for her. Is Adderall ever used for bipoplar disorder. Everything I have read says no. How can I convince her Dr. to not prescribe it anymore? Please help us.

Avatar f tn I am to the point where I take the ADHD stimulants, (VYVANSE - 70 mgX1 or 2, or 3 during the day) and/or Adderall. This is obvious signs of drug addiction/dependency/abuse. I know. Again - Without ADHD medications or antidepressants I still feel as terrible as I do while taking the ADHD medications. I understand this seems like I am being impossible, but I really cannot help but express what I have been feeling and thinking for the past who knows how long. Everything I say is completely true.
Avatar n tn i have a 4yr old she was diagnosed with adhd and she has been taking adderol for almost a yr now and it hasnot work sence the begining. now her doctor want to go from 1/2 pill in am and 1/2 pill in pm to 1 whole pill in am and 2 pills in pm. i refuse because she sees things that arent there when she was taking 1whole ill before. now im scared to give her more because we had so much trouble in the begining. and i dont know wht to do.
Avatar n tn I had a friend who recently tried an elimination diet and slowly added foods back that she eats regularly, she found out that she was allergic to wheat, rhy, some flour products, sweeteners, etc. that were causing the ADHD symptoms... She has since started eating whole foods and good fats and her symptoms have vastly improved... It could be something as little as the dyes in foods, or sweeteners, etc...
Avatar n tn Adderall (a combination of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine) is a prescription stimulant used to treat adults and children (over the age of six) with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. Adderall was the second drug to be approved to treat ADHD, following Ritalin’s already long stay on the market. The FDA approved Adderall in 1996 and later approved Adderall XR Extended-Release capsules in 2001.
Avatar f tn iknow i have been biting my lip but i didnt think i bit my tounge but it hurts...i know u guys have adhd but do u know why adderall wouldnt give me the energy other people get.......
Avatar f tn Have you tried Strattera for the ADHD because, unfortunately, most other medications that help the symptoms of ADHD are stimulants and will exaserbate the symptoms of BP.Good luck with your quest. I'm still trying to get the balance right myself.
Avatar n tn I also take adderall for add and xanax for anxiety. The reason that you are experiencing anxiety like symptoms from the adderall is because adderall is a stimulant. It is a mix of amphetamine and dextoamphetamine salts. It is a schedule II drug. Schedule I drugs are the worst classification and it goes down to schedule V. 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?
1304850 tn?1273215493 I question the possibility that I may have adult ADHD but those symptoms might also be due to depression or bipolar disorder. I know it sounds stupid but I'm hesitant to see a doctor because if it were nothing, I'd feel like I was wasting their time or just trying to find an excuse for my faults.
Avatar f tn t realize my depression was caused by untreated adhd symptoms. Once those were managed my quality of life increased exponentially.
Avatar f tn i was wondering if anyone here diagnosed with adult adhd could share with me a few things please in regards to focusing and staying focused whether it's reading or driving television any activity does medication help you stay focused? and does the ability to not be able to focus extend to everything regardless the level of interest you hold in it?
1182411 tn?1265321044 For example, it may take, say, 40mg of Dexedrine a day to successfully treat symptoms of ADHD in a particular 25 year old male who is 185cm tall and weighs 85kg, Though another male of exactly the same age, height and weight may well find that 40mg of the Dexedrine is wholly inadequate and that his adhd symptoms do not. respond to anything less than 80mg (or even more perhaps) a day of the same drug.
Avatar f tn s only the adderall, or a combination of adderall and zoloft. I felt they added the adderall a little quickly after only being on zoloft a month. I am just praying this behavior was due to the medication and will go away.
Avatar n tn however I think with the anxiety my chest always felt that same way. One thing I have noticed is when the Adderall wears off those symptoms disappear, or if I take the Ativan they disappear. Anyway, I'm wondering if perhaps I should just quit the Adderall altogether and request a different medication. I have only been taking it about 2 weeks now. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/550406'>Constant chest pain for 2 months after taking Adderall</a>.
1367899 tn?1278121440 My sister and I started a blog on Adderall to learn more about the medication along with alternative and complementary ADHD treatment options.

Avatar m tn Im a current addict (i abuse it) of this drug and Im struggling to get off it. Adderall can have many many side effects. If your son keeps having those symptoms try and talk to your doctor.
492527 tn?1212175672 I have adhd and abused adderall for the last 6 years. I have been off of it for about 10 months and do not know what 2 do. I tried straterra and it doesnt seem to help.
Avatar f tn t have enough money to see a real psychiatrist. From some of the reviews it sounded like adderall would fit my type of adhd better. So my doctor put me on adderall xr starting at 10 mg. She increased it only by 10mg or less at a time. So I went up to 20 mg and now have been on 25 mg since august 2011. The 25 mg is doing good by the benefits and less symptoms I've had but only last 8 hrs.
Avatar n tn Your son may well display ADHD, but it is important to arrange a thorough evaluation and not rush too quickly to the diagnosis. The on-line surveys can be useful tools to see if a person might display symptoms typical of ADHD, but a thorough assessment will consider a child's medical history, family history, current functioning at home and in school, possible alternative explanations for the symptoms identified on the surveys, etc.
219373 tn?1274921434 is it possible that she also has ADD that is covered by the asperger symptoms?? or can adderall help kids with aspergers?? i feel her doc is treating her diagnosis and not her actual symptoms. he is not hte one who has to deal with her day to day but yet wont listen to me. i am struggling with her alot as well as my husband and i am at the end of my rope.
Avatar m tn I recently started taking Adderall for ADHD (was diagnosed since I was a child but could never swallow medication until early adulthood), and I thought it was really going to mess with my heart. Funny enough, I tolerate Adderall very well with a nominal increase in BP every so often. But my question is, why does 20oz of soda or a cup of coffee make me jittery with heart issues and Adderall does nothing of the sort?
Avatar m tn so i went out,and first family dr put e on vyvanse which totally changed me.price was high so changed to adderall but great results,not only that but since being on adderall i know longer have to take my 16mg suboxone.my life was pathetic allways home,no friends,forgot how to live.now im with my family,grups,met a girl i feel alive again.anyway i know adderall is very addictive my mom keeps close eye.but most drug addicts have adhd and just need treatment.
Avatar f tn old post, but here we go. I've been dx'd with ADHD and well i take adderall xr too. i've never noticed my pupils getting big...i'm sure they do. but no one can tell no one is staring at how big you pupils are every time they see you unless they know about the whole "she's taking adderall which is a drug that makes you high and pupils big." I take it, and it just relaxes me and helps me focus on one thing at a time.
Avatar f tn The saving of trash and not wanting to touch things does not sound like a symptom of ADHD. What sounds more reasonable is that the Adderall might have, for whatever reason, enhanced an underlying issue and brought it to the forefront, causing your son to act a certain way. The only reason why I say this is because you said your son was starting to save trash again but is not on any medication currently.
Avatar m tn I am 56 and was diagnosed with ADHD at age 42 . I take Adderall 45 mg per day and decided to take !self off it . I don't believe it has The same affect on me as when I first began taking the meds .I too lost interest in sex and my Dr. who is an excellent Dr. , is managing a treatment center for addicts and doesn't have the time for me anymore . I don't like the effects of Adderall anymore and my last appointment my Dr. told me not to go off it .
