adderall

So difficult child's been on Adderall XR 10 mgs for 1 1/2 weeks. THe idea was to get her up earlier and for her to feel motivated and have some energy. I give it to her around 7 am and she sleeps for another 5+ hours! How can she sleep on that? She's taking 20 mgs celexa and 50 mgs trazadone at night...

I talked to the psychiatrist just now about how difficult child is still really depressed. She's not going to school, is in bed all day, feels nothing is worth doing, doesn't see friends, etc. She's been on Celexa for 6 weeks and it hasn't been helping at all. She's been on 20mg. He said we should try 30mg. He...

So, since my difficult child has went from 66 lbs to 55 (in 10 weeks), I decided to take her off Adderall XR 10mg a day on Sunday. She has been eating like a piggie, which I'm very happy for, but I took her to open swim tonight at the YMCA and she acted like a 3 year old!! She couldn't sit still in the...

Is bruising a serious side effect when taking Adderall? My son has been on it about a month now and he has several bruises on his arms and legs. If someone didn't know me, they would think he was being abused which is FAR from the truth. His preschool said something to me about it and so did...

It was too good to last. In fact, over a week too long. The first three days were okay, but moving on up to 2 wks, boy, oh boy, what a cranky, mean boy! Luckily, we had an appointment with-the psychiatrist yesterday, and he listened to the symptoms and the explanations (the drugs stores ran out, difficult child is always mad...

because I raised my voice after 20 minutes of his non stop begging me to go out and play and go down to grandfathers house with me. I didnt yell, just raised my voice because no matter where I went he followed. So yes I was wrong but after I said "No" because my grandfather just got over that...

My seven year old boy (diagnosis ADHD combined type and expressive receptive language disorder) is in a regular first grade class this year. He has had problems with behavior for years beginning in special needs preschool. Anyway, this is a new school for him, with a crowded class. I have an IEP and...

We saw psychiatrist yesterday because the Focalin easy child is taking doesn't seem to be as effective as it used to be. I could have sworn easy child was already on the highest possible dose of Focalin, which is 10 milligram pills twice a day. I thought psychiatrist would have to try something else with him, but instead he...

I thought today would be better than yesterday, I was wrong. My DS had only been at school for 30 min, and I received at call for me to come pick him up. He actually left school (he is 6 yrs old). The teachers were inside the school looking for him. But he had made outside the back of the...

Does it get better with time? The tiredness? I ran into the counselor from elementary school who we have become close friends. She said difficult child called her last Thursday and told her how Adderall "changed his life". She said he sounded wonderful. However, I see an exhausted kid who doesn't...

I can't seem to find any info on this. Does anyone know? I told Bubby he has to go to school tomorrow and he is freaking out. I called Children's and confirmed we are on the list for when they have an opening. I keep second guessing myself about that. I am wondering how much to tell school...

The psychiatrist is leaning towards Concerta. I asked earlier about this, I just wan tmy ducks in a row prior to heading tin there. I hate being ill prepared. I know several of you mentioned the crash. How long does the medication work? And, what happens when it wears off? Am I going to be dealing with...

Well... he got up great, finished icing his cake for practice ( scouts) got dressed and by that time was fixing his backpack that he didnt fix yesterday. He always changes his mind the next morning anyway what he wants how how he wants it. So and by that time it was time to go to school and he...

Hi all, I joined last year and got some excellent advice with my 6 year old regarding sensory issues. Occupational Therapist (OT) has not significantly helped in school, although we are loving progress we see with Occupational Therapist (OT). Our Occupational Therapist (OT) went out of network so we have to wait til we're in a better financial spot to afford it and can...

My 11 years old aspie attacked his 17 years old sister and used a kitchen knife to damage dining table and threatened to stab himself. I called 911 and had them bring him to the hospital. After waiting 4 hours here, without even seeing the resident psychiatrist, thru the social worker, the...

You would think that I would be used to a life like this by now after having been born to a difficult child mother (no contact with her for the past 16 yrs) and giving birth to a difficult child son 8 1/2 years ago. But no. I am not used to it since peace and tranquility happen to be the life style I personally...
