Is Dexedrine better for ADHD when Adderall causes anxiety and ED?
I was finally diagnosed with adult ADHD 2 months ago at the age of 30. My psychiatrist put me on Adderall, XR which has allowed me to focus on one thing until it's done (instead of getting sidetracked a dozen times) for the first time in my life. It's really been great, being able to focus and get... read more
Horrible reaction w/ Concerta and alcohol?
Hi all, I am currently on several meds- Wellbutrin, Lexapro, and Concerta (36mg)- for depression and anxiety. I made a very stupid decision and got pretty drunk about 2 days ago and blacked out for maybe around 6 hours. I woke up feeling worse than your average hangover- extremely depressed,... read more

Switching from Vyvanse to Adderall Due to Side-Effects?
Hello, I was on Vyvanse (40 mg) for about a year to a year and a half... I never quite realized it (since I typically only take the pills during the semester), but it was making me REALLY anxious.

When and how should I take my Lexapro and Ritalin? And do certain side effects subside?

Why does Buspar just quit working? Why is it making my panic attacks worse?
My memory has gone drastically down hill this last month on Buspar. I see faces, and can't put names with them (either in person, or on TV!) Then 30 minutes later, or the next day, I remember who that person was. Not only is it not working this time for me, it is making me worse! I am having panic... read more
Why am I so insensitive to Adderall XR and need a really large dose to feel the effect?
I have tried many kinds of ADHD medicines, but none worked for me. Recently I tried Adderall XR and it worked absolutely amazing. However, later I discovered something terrifying. I thought I took 2 pills of Adderall XR 10mg, but I just discovered that I have confused with 10mg and 30mg capsules... read more
What to expect when switching from Adderall IR to XR?
I was prescribed adderall IR 40mg for about 7 years. Recently I started to expirence a few negative side effects. Nothing major, more annoying than serious.

Has anyone taken Mallinckrodt generic Adderall IR?
I’ve been going to Wegmans pharmacy for awhile now and they’ve been filling my scripts with a light blue round pill with a U27 imprint. I believe the manufacture is Aurolife.

Why does Adderall make me so tired now when it used to make me focused and energized?
I have been taking Adderall for about a year and a half. I would try to only take it when needed, days I have class or work, because I did not want to deal with side effects if I didn’t have to or become dependent/ grow a tolerance. I stopped taking it regularly when summer break started so I’ve bee... read more
Vyvanse is working great for me but it’s giving me diarrhea. Can I take a probiotic to help?
I’d like to try to help the diarrhea side effect as I am not experiencing any other bad effects. I can’t seem to find anything online with someone starting a probiotic on this medicine.
