312330 tn?1245176752 I had sleep issues way before I started the Adderall. I take three doses a day, which would make having the third dose earlier than that difficult, and I need the Adderall at night for when study. I take 30mg in the morning, 30mg around noon, the last dose is only 10mg.
5957912 tn?1379936972 Well I have an appt. tomorrow instead of two weeks. I'm going to stop the Adderall. I noticed today that it made me feel like crap. I never took the pentermine today. I just started taking Adderall when the problems started. I threw it away today. I'm not trying to get depended on it anyway. I lived with the symptoms of ADD all my life. I can handle them. The only thing I really hated was I couldn't remember things.
Avatar f tn I've been taking adderall for about 10 years now, and I've always had problems with my voice, specifically the volume of my voice. Especially when I take an extra tablet, the next day my voice is breathy and hoarse. Do you think this has to do with adrenal burnout? Or could it be LPR (silent reflux)? I worry the Adderall is altering stomach acid PH? which might be causing my lower esophageal sphincter to get stuck open, causing pepsin leakage into throat?
Avatar m tn In your experience, would even mild narcolepsy result in excessive daytime sleepiness but only occassional sleep attacks? If I do not take Adderall I could nap at any point during the day, but sometimes I am just excessively tired and will lie down but I won't fall asleep, or at least not within 10 minutes. Does narcolepsy exist in a very mild form?
Avatar m tn Please do not think this is the adderall alone, I have just recently started taking the adderall again in the last 3 days and I have noticed before that I forget to breathe when I was not on the adderall. I do however think what happened to me in the car is because the adderall is making my sleep worse.
Avatar m tn At this point I have found that eating more and getting at least two or three really good nights of sleep will restore the effect of adderall on normal dosage. Of course to get the good sleep you have to lower your dose of adderall for a day and don't take any after about 11:00 am in the morning they day you decide to get a good night of sleep. It also has to be natural sleep, no sleeping pills. I don't know why but 9 hours of sleep with sleeping pills does not do any good.
Avatar n tn I have been taking Adderall XR 30mg for quite some time and have never had any problems on it. I was at a party recently and was moderately drinking (I only occasionally do so knowing possible interactions) when it is believed that I could have been unknowingly given an additional substance (marijuana was one theory, am planning on getting labs done to check everything). I apparently starting acting pretty crazy, yelling at people, crying, talking out of my head and possbibly hallucinating.
Avatar f tn Adderall is comprised of amphetamine salts, which are stimulants. Your 5 year old is essentially taking crystal meth. This is only my opinion, but I think this medication should be stopped. Little guys have no business to be on such heavy duty medication. He should be weaned off it. Dont give him any refined foods or sugar, juice or soda, candy, etc.
Avatar f tn Welcome...I don't know about adderall however I do believe you can taper from it. Just wait and someone will be along that can answer you better than I. I know there are dangers in some meds so wait to hear or better yet call your dr in the a.m. and ask what is the safest way to do this.
5717054 tn?1372958545 im new so if im in wrong place sorry bear with me please. 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 f tn t even like taking a Tylenol once in a blue moon for a light headache or anything, he was really worried that any amount of Adderall was a bad idea with all my sleep problems and this is just from the general info most of us know about the drugs like Adderall or any medication that had amphetamine somewhere in it, and yet he is dumbfounded at my lack of any reaction to the Adderall and deep down was hoping that possibly the Adderall could help me start functioning as a "normal" housewi
Avatar f tn My friend daughter is taking adderall and vyvanse together for school but she been having more problems with her misbehaving is this normal.
Avatar n tn I was never diagnosed as a child, though I have always had trouble concentrating. Over the past two years my memory problems have caused me to lose one job and continue to have trouble in others. I have weight problems because I eat for something to do. I cannot concentrate on ANYTHING. I constantly interrupt people when I speak to them.
Avatar f tn feeling nervous or irritable, sleep problems (insomnia); loss of appetite; nausea, stomach pain; or headache. So it is probably that the combination of the drug and coffee is the cause of the nausea.
Avatar f tn Question- has anyone else had problems with Lunesta and Adderall? or heard of anyone having issues with these meds? Or a reliable study showing these results or similar.
Avatar n tn I was wondering if anyone has any advice about getting off adderall...I have been taking it on and off without a prescription for about three years and with a prescription for the past five months. I was prescribed a dose of 30 mgs a day but I have quickly increased my own dosage to 70--80 mg XR per day. I know I cant manage my use of this drug and I have recently become really worried about my health (Im a 22 year old formerly athletic female)...
Avatar m tn A daily nap helps but only if I take an adderall right before the nap and have some coffee right before the nap. I will sleep for 30 minutes to an hour and wake up with the adderall and caffeine kicking in and feel good to go for a few hours. I am wondering if anyone out there was diagnosed with narcolepsy without cataplexy but has had similar challenges. I am very much wanting to try sodium oxybate under Dr.
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 m tn Though maintaining well above average grades, before my senior year of high school I was prescribed a daily dose of Adderall Extended Release (XR) and Adderall Instant Release (IR). From an early age I was identified as gifted, but I sought the prescription because concentration was getting in the way of performance as classes became more involved and I felt as though I suffered certain social problems associated with ADHD.
Avatar f tn Adderall 10 mg = Vyvanse 30 mg, Adderall 20 mg = Vyvanse 50 mg, Adderall 30 mg = Vyvanse 70 mg. I always start lower than expected with a change to Vyvanse, as for about 10-15% that anticipated dose of Vyvanse proves too much. I don’t want folks on my watch to experience 10% problems." I would also check the comments in the above link and some of them might apply to you. the link is - http://www.corepsych.
Avatar f tn I took it for the first time last night and actually felt calmer and had a good nights sleep for once. But this morning i have a mild headache and i feel an eye twitch coming on and my head just feels foggy. I do take adderall xr 20mg everyday and have been since i was 18. I have been slowly weening off it because i feel like the adderall is making me magnesium deficient. Anyways to add to all this my hormones are out of whack causing me to get mad easily or cry.
Avatar n tn 15 yr old daughter was diag with adhd 2nd grade - although was family "joke" adhd long before. 1st on adderall with explosive behavior - had to try before could take straterra, insurance. Strattera was fine for sev yrs - although only limited imp - just enough to tolerate her. Problems with social interaction and her mouth - she's constantly argumentative and I believe ODD. After menstruation began, strattera appeared worthless.
Avatar n tn On days I omit my adderall, but take my Ativan, it sets me up for return of SEVERE central sleep apnea independent of position. Adderall may be the subject here but It prevents me thoroughly from every evil such as drugs, smoking, and without it I found myself UNABLE to move on. Any suggestions?
Avatar m tn Adderall side effects: For some people it will make them a zombie, and some people will want to clean a house or build an entire structure while on adderall. Sleepless nights and lack of appetite are sure to come with adderall when starting out, after a while he will adjust to it and lessen side effects. Adderall likes to leave a bad taste in the mouth and some people's sexual drive increases because it is amphetamine. I was on Ritalin as a child, and put on Adderall when I was around 15.
