adderall

Avatar n tn mentally to just relax and do work without becoming too bored or tired or just un-happy about what im doing. When I take adderall, I get energy and I supose some effects that people would describe as a "high" but It also helps me. Even though it's a stimulant, it does actually help me stay on one task and not become disinterested or tired of it, and I actually feel good for once, I don't feel anxiety when I have to go into a room of people I do not know.
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.
Avatar f tn ve read about some people diagnosed with ADD taking marinol as a form of medication. I was wondering what effects it would have when taken with adderall, or as a replacement for other meds. What sort of side effects, and/or lack of side effects to make other meds more effective.
Avatar f tn I am wondering if anyone has had experience with Adderall XR or Wellbutrin XL and Reflux symptoms? I started Wellbutrin about 6 months ago, and Adderall XR about 3-4 months ago. I finally feel like I have the side effects under control for the most part.
Avatar n tn m wondering if I should just stop the Adderall or what. I have been having to take the Ativan just to releive the anxiety from taking the Adderall. I hope that's safe to do.
Avatar n tn ve done this drug recreationally many times before but usually with multiple months between) except... just now, a full 24 hours after my dosing and without food or sleep, I tried to eat a burger. OW! Intense agonizing pain ensued as I tried to swallow the food. It sucked, horribly, the roof of my mouth swelled greatly and was very unpleasant.
Avatar n tn Try eating a big breakfast first, and then taking the meds. It works for me, and I'm okay all day since I lose my appetite during the day as well. Also, if you take 2 doses, like I do, don't take them too close together. If you take it at 8AM, try take the second one at 12noon, so you're not as tired after-school.
20919253 tn?1651735373 Buy Darvocet Online Introduction Choosing to live with severe pain makes it hard to function daily. It affects each part of life, from sanitation to trying to cook, friendships to falling asleep. I've had painful symptoms since I was in preschool.
Avatar n tn P Make sure you always take it with or without food (I.e. pick one style of taking and stick to it) because if you normally take it on an empty stomach then take it with breakfast one day, it may feel like it's not working as well.

990354 tn?1307132886 Hi don't worry about him too much with ADHD it's always a battle for right dose right time right medication. I've literally changed my medication every few months since I first started managing my ADHD. I'm currently on vyvanse 50mg in the morning WITH. Adderall 10mg , and in the after noon I take another 10mg adderall. The best person to talk to is the psychiatrist and being completely honest with WHY your son took it together with vyvanse...
Avatar f tn My son takes a medication that is specific WITH food and also another that says you pick with food or without food, but stay consistent with it. I think Coreg, from my reading, is food optional but the recommendation is that with food is better because it slows the rate of absorption. This is to prevent orthostatic hypotension (this is when bp drops and you get dizzy when you stand up). If you aren't having that problem by not taking it with food, then may not be a worry for you.
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 f tn I am a recovering alcoholic, 4 years sober. Did this in psychiatric hospital I had been in several times because I suffer with bipolar 1 for 17 years. My symptoms are sometimes psychosis, paranoia and hallucinations along with depression and debilitating anxiety. These are for the most part treated with medications by my psychiatrist. 2 years ago he diagnosed me with ADHD and prescribed me Ritalin.
Avatar m tn I have taken the time to do some research on Adderall and, with all due respect, Adderall should NOT be used for weight loss! That is why doctors do not and should not prescribe it for weight loss. The following facts were gathered from the National Institutes of Health and are submitted for your consideration. http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/archives/fdaDrugInfo.cfm?archiveid=5703 FACTS: 1. Adderall is an amphetamine, and amphetamines have a high potential for abuse. 2.
Avatar f tn ) even though it was advised against I Did take an adderall in hopes of increasing my energy. Never did nor will have a problem with them since there near impossible to find by me. Im two hours in and have no side effects besides the extra energy in which I seemed I understand substituting on for the other isn't good but having to get stuff done it has done wonders with no effective.
Avatar f tn i know vicodin is very bad for me, espcially for the length of time ive been taking it, but #1 half of the time i take the vicoprofin without the tylonol (not making excuses just stating facts) and now i am beginning to wonder what kind of trouble im getting myself into in beginning to take the adderall. Does anyone here have experience with these two particularly? i know obviously one is a stimulant and the other a "downer".
Avatar m tn i was heavily addicted for over two years to snorting oxycontin and/or heroin, along with xanax, any other benzo, or sleeping pills. basically any pill i could find a way to snort i would take it. i got help, detoxed, and went to treatment. iw as on a suboxone treatment plan for 8 months, but then i severely broke and separated my wrist which ended up leaving me in the vicious cycle of addiction all over again.
Avatar f tn Strattera, Adderall XR, Vyvanse, and Daytrana are medications I have taken, my brother takes Concerta. Vyvanse and Adderall XR are the only meds I can take. I have a real sensitive stomach and immune system, and am allergic to a lot so I would think that you can handle most of these.
Avatar n tn I take adderall (10mg) for focus management. I have a couple side-effects that I don't really mind (dry mouth, loss of appetite, more outgoing/energy, weight loss) but I do have one strange one that I'm not too sure about. I take my adderall after I eat a full breakfast, which is normally my only meal of the day (adderall dismisses my appetite). After about an hour of taking my medication, I have to go to the bathroom.
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 n tn 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)...aside from completely eating my muscles, Ive noticed my skin looks dry and wrinkly...
Avatar f tn I started to try the vaxa attend stuff but the capsules were so big he couldnt take them and when I tried mixing it in with some food he gagged on it saying it tasted hot. Sooo they are just sitting up in the cabinet. After that episode of trying to get off them I have decided that if we try another homeopathic remedy it will be during summer break where he doesnt have to deal with school while figuring out how it works.
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 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 f tn But usually you see that with much higher dosages and with people abusing the drug for a period of time. I took 60 to 70mgs of adderall a day and anger or being "short" was never a issue. However there were plenty of other issues with adderall especially the rollercoaster ride all day long of being up and down which can make you grumpy for sure. I also was taking wellbutrin, 300mg a day and I stopped taking it and feel alot better then when taking both.
