Common Questions and Answers about Taking adderall with caffeine

adderall

Avatar n tn t just ask for Adderall because I thought that I had ADHD. I am no longer with the doctor that I was with over the summer. I have not been taking my anti-anxiety med since starting Adderall, but that is because my doctor didn't mention to me if I should stop taking it.
Avatar n tn I am curently taking 30 mg of celexa along with 25 mg of adderall it seemed to be working good for a few days then it seemed not so effective like it was before. I asked my psycholgist why it would do that she does not know. I have been on so many different antidepressents because of them working for a short time then not being so effective. Has anyone else experienced this before?
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 n tn I have been taking celexa since december 2008 at 40 mg a day along with 25 mg of adderall xr I seem to have been doing good for awhile then it seemed not to be so effective anymore.
Avatar n tn I am currently in medical school and have been taking adderall for some time now and notice that when I am taking in caffeine along with adderall I experience muscle twitching within my arms, legs, and fingers. Previously to my arrival at school, I was checked out by a neurologist who performed a NVC/EMG and said everything was fine.
Avatar n tn m contemplating taking a EC stack for my workouts which consist of Ephedrine and Caffeine. I am wondering if Ephedrine is ok to take Adderall. I've heard mixed responses from this and would like to know the truth.
Avatar f tn Maybe I'm getting Adderall and Ritalin confused then. Could have sworn I lost all motivation for life on Adderall and became even more hyper on Ritalin. Did I mention I'm dyslexic? But no Sandman is right.
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 m tn 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.

Avatar f tn Nor xanax or shrooms at this point. ARE you diagnosed with adhd? Do you get a speed reaction with adderall or a mellowing reaction?
Avatar n tn Everything I read online about my reaction was discussing people who were Adderall addicts and were taking massive amounts... I told my doctor I didn't want to continue taking it and he referred me to a cardiologist and shortly after I had a cardiac ablation to fix SVT, but the procedure concluded that my heart was fine. Sometimes (not all the time) if I drink large amounts of caffeine something similar happens-- severely tachycardic and weak and tired with a crash that lasts days.
Avatar m tn If it were legal, that is, a generic form, you would still need a prescription. So it is just junk. Get a prescription for generic Adderall. It is less expensive than the proprietary drug.
Avatar n tn 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.
4451049 tn?1387153437 So basically I was having reverse reactions to the Adderall. I quit taking it and just switched to caffeine pills, but I have to be careful or I'll get sick with those. So I can't handle enough caffeine to do me any good, Methyl B12 doesn't phase me, and I have a few other stimulants that cause similar type issues.. It's like pain + look awful in exchange for energy, or pain free + look presentable, yet be too completely exhausted to do anything or even worry about it.
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 m tn i was wondering if maybe taking the adderall while on the antibiotic would be a problem? what health risks would this pose?
Avatar m tn I have a love/hate realationship with the Adderall. Although I am prescribed 20 mg Adderall XR 3 times a day, I never take all 3 pills a day. Right now I am down to 1 pill a day. I love the fact that the Adderall gives me energy but I hate that after a few days of taking it I feel physically exhausted. I have tried to give up the Adderall but I always go back to it because taking the Celexa alone doesn't work.
Avatar m tn ve noticed that my heart beats very forcefully when taking my adderall. Even if its just 5 or 10mg ir. I have palpitations and it's almost like I can feel the palpitations in my throat. I can see and feel my pulse in my neck, chest and stomach without even touching it. I have had an EKG and ECHO done- both of which were normal. Does anyone else experience this? I just want to know if its normal or not. Please don't tell me to see a doctor because I already have.
20003388 tn?1515166040 s just the ones that affect NE. Interestingly enough I can Adderall, Modafinil and have caffeine without the same issue so it has to be some mechanism of the antidepressants. This is very annoying. I'm curious if anyone has heard of this or experiences the same issue and hoping for some suggestions to either treat the symptom or for tests I can ask to get done. Anything at all to help would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar m tn I know I've asked this before, but what KIND of stimulant effect will Adderrall have if I don't have ADD? Amild one like drining a 12 oz soft drink with caffeine? A major effect like 5 cups of very strong coffee? I'm not a coffee drinker so 3 cups of strong coffee really hypes me up. If I have mild to moderate depression and can't take anit-depresants, will Adderrall still calm me if I don't have ADD?
Avatar n tn I am a stay at home mother with three young boys. I have been taking zoloft (100mg daily) for depression for about nine years. The only times I was not taking zoloft is during my second and third pregnancies (and, boy, it was tough). Zoloft has changed my life - and my family's happiness. Just recently I was also diagnosed with ADD. My doc gave me adderall 10mg IR to try.

Avatar f tn Well, see when I switched from Concerta to Adderall, I just stopped the Concerta and went to taking the Adderall XR. After a few months the XR did not seem to work very long or throughout the day. So, in 2007, I went on Adderall short acting pill form which generic form is amphetamine salts or amphetamine mix tabs. With this pill, first of all, it is extremely inexpensive. I pay $30 for 180 tabs 20 mg each. I cut each in half and take each half 4 times a day a total of 40mg.
Avatar f tn i guess it was insisted that its caffeine related. (funny because i had 0 caffeine in the past 24 hours) but then the subject of adderall was brought up. yes i am prescribed to 20 mg adderall xr but ive had palpitations way before ive been on it and i got off of it for a month and still had the same symptoms with it. the only difference is that my heart is a slight bit faster with it which does not bother me anymore than if it were slow with palpitations.
