First Time Use Of Adderall

Hello all, I was diagnosed with add back in 2005. My doctor at the time gave me a prescription for welbutrin(spellings probably wrong), which I don't recall it working. I never got it refilled and never went back to get something different. I started a new job last August and kept making mistakes left and right, so I went back to the doctor, a different one, to get something different. Well she put me back on the welbutrin for a month with no results. Today I went to the follow up appointment and told her I didn't feel much different, and it gave me some uncomfortable stomach pains, which sucked...she gave me a prescription for generic Adderall, 20mg once daily. I took it and felt great! But within the first 2 hours I was having moments of ups and downs and started crashing at a...

I took adderall xr 20mg yesterday at 11pm and by 11:30 it started to kick in but I felt tired and sluggish on the inside but on the outside I was shaky and energetic and my heart was going fast. I got a bad feeling by like 1am so I went to the bathroom and forced myself to puke it out and then I went to bed at 2am and slept for like 10 mins and I was so hyper but on the inside I felt like crap and so I drank a glass of water and went to lay down so I could try to calm down and I kept getting a sick feeling in my belly so I went to the bathroom and I had diarrea and I went back to bed and slept for 4 hours and then I woke up when my mom came here and she was talking to me and I understood what she was saying but everytime I would try to respond the first time all that came out was what a...

I agree with you all in the difference between the peach oval generic pills vs. the orange round generic pills. The oval ones - I stay focused throughout the day at my job with almost no side effects. Recently, my normal pharmacy who I have picked my prescriptions up from for the 7 years switched to the round orange ones. Assuming they were the "same", I took them. The first day I already could notice a HUGE difference! My biggest complaint was the headaches! Not to mention very irritable, fatigue, weakness. I am not sure what the difference is in these two pharmaceutical companies BUT something is not right with those orange round ones. ## There can be some slight fluctuations in generic medications, they are actually allowed to differ from the name brand by as much as plus or ...

Is there anyone else who has had experience with the above medication? I need input please. ## I know a bit about Adderall, what do you need to know? ## Yes, my son takes this medication. He is 13 and was previously taking concerta (which was wonderful). He was recently switched to Adderral by his doctor. He went through puberty and his metabolism changed and caused the concerts to not be effective any longer. As far as this med, I am not happy with it and i am having his prescription chg'd next week...it just isnt effective for my son, that's not to say that it isn't a good med, but just not for my child. If you need any specific info, post it here and i shall do my best to assist you with anything i can. ## my son is now 9 and he was on adderal for 2 years. At first it was...

Okay here's my story and it will shock you, my first script of Adderall genetic was Corp pharma, I hated it, I was like this stuff is like doing absolutely Nata, so I went through the motions, I googled it and it led here and there and the general consensus was it sucked but the worst is Aurolife, so I was like well at least I did not get that, the general consensus was sandoz is the absolute best, so I was hoping, and I heard Teva wasn't bad, so month two I went and got Teva, I was pumped, so glad they did not give me Corp again and so glad they did not give me Aurolife, so I took Teva and said yea they are better than Corp, but sadly it did not last long, after two days I was taking two to do anything, then another two to close it out for the day, still didn't do nothing, ...

I got my prescription filled today for Adderall 15 mg and Aurolife was the generic they used because they were out of their normal one. I have taken Adderall for years & even gone down in dosage with no problems but today after of 2 hours of waiting for the pill to work I took another. I can't tell I've taken anything. I've called the pharmacy twice about this plus a separate matter(a mistake they made in submitting to insurance) and questioned the pharmacist about this drug. He gave me the excuse that if I was used to a different brand this may not work as well at first. I don't buy it. This is an amphetamine and it should work if it's a quality medication. I have asked them to put in my chart to NEVER despense this brand for me again. I will go elsewhere to get...

So I am on my 6th day of Adderal that was prescribed by my doctor since he felt that my symptoms I told him about we're due to ADHD. My doctor warned me that this can be a addictive drug and that it is much abused by people because of the high it can produce. So I started doing research and watching video's of people who have used it and I was starting to question taking it. Now that I have started taking it and have experienced what it's like to be on it I really don't understand how people get off on this. I am currently taking the 20mg RX. My first day on it I would say that I could slightly feel that I had taken something but hardly worth mentioning since allergy medication messes me up way more after the first day even that feeling has subsided. I noticed that with ...

I've been taking adderall on and off since 2009 for college. However I started noticing the bad come downs so my doctor switched me to vyvanse 50mg. That didn't work out too well. The dose turned out to be too high for me, causing me to be really anxious, over analyzing everything, and getting nothing done. I switched to 30mg vyvanse and I've been taking that on and off for a few years. Some days I think to myself, "thank god for this stuff". And then there are other days where I regret taking it- very weird. For example today I took one capsule for the first time in a few weeks. I felt great this morning, all my worries went away about starting this new job of mine, I felt focused and got things done. Then after the first two hours or so I got very anxious and on ed...

Adderall worked wonders when I first started it. Now, however, I find that after about 2 hours (the half-live of the more abundant dextroamphetamine, that I have a strong urge to take a nap. I switched to Adderall XR...and same problem. I believe over time these drugs (amphetamines) down-regulate dopamine to the point of Dopamine depletion. This is not simply opinion, but science showing this cogently. Browse scholar.google.com to search the medical journals. There is even research.....in its early stages, that amphetamine can, in --some-- individuals increase the speed of gene expression (ie genes express themselves faster) Bluntly stated: it ages you. I noticed within the first year of taking it my hair began turning white (im 23/m and other things that make sense with respect to chan...

Yes. You can. I have read multiple sources saying you can, the first time I heard of it (and it is acclaimed to be one of best roa's after putting up the booty), I tried it. I did feel a noticeable difference as I usually break my 2 30 ir down to 4 15 ir to take throughout day for duration. The one 15 I subligualed felt very much like an oral 30, was a bit more clear also. It didn't last any longer though unfortunately, because that is what I am searching for, a way to make the IR last longer. I'm sure doc will make decisions next time I see him, but I just got this script a week ago. Can't start complaining already. ## Are you trying to say that you can safely take Adderall sublingually? While that may or may not be true, my understanding is that it's not necessaril...

I'm a 21 year old female adult who has recently been diagnosed with ADHD. My brother, father, and boyfriend have it so I'm pretty familiar with the topic by now, though I am definitely still learning. My boyfriend and brother both take Adderall XR, which I have tried a couple times. I have found the drug to be very beneficial for me and am more informed on how that works. I would also just like to say, that no, I'm not an addict or just trying to abuse the drug. I do have an actual, verified issue that requires medication. The first prescription I received was Straterra, which really just made me exhausted, really dizzy, and depressed. It also did nothing for my poor attention. So needless to say, I asked for something else. I was recently just switched to Cor 135 20 mg (Tha...

I've been prescribed 3 20mg Adderalls a day for 18 years and I've always gotten the orange ovals and they've worked great for me, but due to losing my insurance I hadn't had them for awial but I just started getting them again today and when I filled my script I got home to find out that they gave me the round bright pink ones which I've never seen in my life and everyone else I know that is prescribed them told me they have never seen them either, but I looked them up and confirmed they are Adderall so I took 1 at a time to be safe and by the time i had gotten to my 3rd prescribed pill for the day I didn't feel any different except for having a pounding headache that started 30 minutes after taking the first one and I just had dry mouth, but before I call my doc...

I understand all the negativity about adderall but I think sometimes there is too much negativity. I'm new to this and never told my story online like this before so please bare with me. I was a bad kid right off the bat. I was drinking and consuming cannabis and cigs at age 12. It just got worse from there. In high school I had a lot of connections a normal 16yr old kid should never had. I was an addict up for days and drinking at the same time. I'm sure you're probably thinking what does this have to do with adderall? I'll get to that but I might as well put my story out there first. I've never done this before, only my family and closest friends know this. Maybe it will help someone or something. By the time everything caught up to me I was in jail for distributio...

I've been taking Adderall xr 15mg for three weeks. First couple of days I felt sleepy, groggy, third and fourth days i felt a surge of physical well-being, as well as focused , and a balanced state of mind. However, all that lasted another couple of days. After the first week of Adderall xr 15mg, i felt nothing. It's been three weeks now, and I still feel nothing. I am going to ask my doc to switch to Vyvanse. However, i know that 10mg of Axr is = to 30mg of Vyvanse. But if i'm taking 15 mg of Axr, how much Vyvanse should I take to equal the Axr dose? But, aside from that, do you all think I should stay on the Axr a bit longer? give it a little more time to work? i've read that sometimes it takes over a month to kick in. thanks! ## I am on vyvanse and wanting to switch t...

Presently, I don't have a doctor. I have narcolepsy (its prescribed for this) I've had it prescribed in the past, but not from a doc in this area ## Hello, Daniel! How are you? For narcolepsy, you'll most likely have to see a neurologist for ongoing treatment and prescriptions. Learn more Adderall details here. This is a stimulant medication that is often abused and can be habit forming, new regulations have also been put in place to control what a general practitioner can prescribe/treat. You don't currently have any doctor, at all? It would most likely be best to set yourself up with a GP, first, then have them refer you elsewhere. They may prescribe for a short period, until your comfortably ensconced elsewhere. Does anyone know of a good doctor in that area?

My local pharmacy filled my prescription for Adderall ER 30mg. with the ACTAVIS EL instead of the TEVA USA brand, and I noticed that things were drastically different. First, I noticed mild radiating warmth in the left side of my chest… but, we all know that’s fairly common. Second, I had to constantly remind myself to stop grinding my dam teeth, “I’m a musician and always think of music as if I were playing drum parts with my teeth… f***ing annoying”. Third, was the need to crack every joint in my body such as ankles, toes, wrists, fingers, neck… you get my drift. Forth, I got far “DIZZY-UUUURR…….RR” than with other Adderall ER generics such as Teva USA or Shire. Fifth, I finally checked the label and noticed that it was...

I have been on generic IR adderall with my first being Teva. I could not take that at all! I tried the 10 mg and 20 mg's and it made me so nervous and jittery that I had to take a nerve pill and go to sleep. Then CVS gave me another generic version but I can't remember the name. It didn't make me nervous but it also didn't really give me any effects at all. So I just happened to find 20 mg Sandoz generic. Those were the best generic for me by far! But then the town I live in now only prescribe Teva. My husband had to go out of town to find the Sandoz and it's a pain to have to go to the pharmacies to see what brands they have because they can't/won't even tell you over the phone what manufacture brand they have. For the last month I have been going through a ...

Which is the better generic company? I just got GLOBAL and they are like taking sleeping pills. I'm sleeping 20 to 24 hours a day for days. If I didn't need to pee, I might never wake up. Can any body help me before I go back to sleep? ## Ive never heard of anybody falling asleep on adderall thats really weird....ur the first one i heard of that slept on them...maybe its intensifying another medication u take. I would talk to a doctor and tell them it done a friend like that u dont have to say u done that...goodluck ## Everyone is different. Been taking it for 15+ years and still have different reactions with the many brands or foods/drinks. Magnesium is another . Maybe get ir not the xr. xr drags the dose out over time. I hate the XR for this reason. Maybe its time to up your d...

Seriously I've only been on adderall for a couple months and we've raised it a couple times but honestly I take 60mg Xr twice a day and it just doesn't work. I have a history of opiate and downer addiction but I never recreationally used stimulants. I felt soooo much better when I first started taking it but it's like it has worn off already. I've inly been on 120 daily for not even 2 weeks. This is crazy. I don't know what to do next. It's changed my life but if the effects have worn off what do I do?? From what I understand 120mg a day is A LOT. I tried vyvanse and it sucked. What else can I do??? Please someone give me some experience or guidance ## Hello, Sk! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're experiencing. What effects are you expect...
