Adderall WORKS 4 me | ADHD Information

Sure,

 Everything all goes together.


 SLEEP IS PARAMOUNT.

 FUEL FOR THE MIND IS PARAMOUNT.

 He needs to eat more in the am to compensate, and sort of munch all day long if he can. But feed him.

He may tell you he is tired. If he is tired and out of food, he will be mean.

 He also needs a list so he can manage his time better.

 I am sure it frustrates him, not being able to manage his time.

 But also be sure to know when mean, is just mean.

 He may have that tendency and do it because it is him. But don't let him get away with being mean. Sit him down and tell him how this has to stop.

 ABOVE ALL, talk to HIS DR.

 This is the most important thing for YOU to do. Do it without hubby in the room.
Davidornado.....don't believe everything you read or hear....Hasn't your mother ever told you that?   bugzappers......My dh takes 60mg of Adderall a day & his appetite changed greatly (more what it should be) and he lost weight & is now back to the weight he was when we were married 8 years ago.  You mention that eating right & getting a good nights sleep is important, I think I agree.  My dh has started a new job two weeks ago & for the last two weeks he has been skipping lunch (has a piece of toast for bkfast or something small) & then he eats his lunch on the way home.  Says he doesn't have time to eat!!! He is on his own all day out in the field so there is no one to tell him to go & eat.  He also has the toughest time managing his time.  Do you think a result of not eating right (or not at all) during the whole day is causing his anger & irritability???!!!   

Now davey - lets not be trying to get a purple haze on k?

You're good just the way you are.  Don't ever change!

 

Uh, I have a confession to make.

I traded a day's dose of Ritalin w/another

ADHDer, for their daily dose of Adderall.

we had a blast.

and we didn't even drink.

I wanna try cocaine next.

I heared Ritalin is Cocaine.

Good Idea! I'm gonna ask dalk tomorrow for
Adderall, Ritalin, and Strattera.

  Bailey,

 Not every medication will work the same in different people.

 Tylenol does not work the same in, and for me, as it may for you.

 You just have to not give up on it.  I have faith you will find something that will.

 It may be just some behavior modifications, or it may be an alternative med, or it may be a pharm. med.

 But whatever works. Let us know. And good luck to you and your son.


 David,

 There are a few who have done that sucessfully.

 I would seek more than my advice though.
bugzappers38677.848587963That's good.  Wish I could say the same when my son was on it.

I Like Adderall.
I'm on Ritalin LA.
I should try both at the same time.


 I have been taking adderall for quite some time, and I must admit. Through it all, it seems to work pretty good.

 You do have to eat right and get enough sleep, but you should already be doing that regardless.


 I take 25 mg of ADDERALL XR, and it works for me.


 I am 36 yrs old and a male.

 I was dx with hyperactivity in 1976. I did take meds as a kid, and I made it.
We just do omega 3 and vitamins and steer clear of most dyes and additives.
He's not hyper so maybe he didn't really need to be on the stims.  Flaxseed is suppose to work miracles so we do that now, too.  It certainly helps ME!

I am glad to hear of your success on alternatives. This is very encouraging.

 We have many different ways to deal with this thing called adhd, and we all need information so we can try EVERY SINGLE OPTION AVAILABLE.

 We may run out of patience, but we still have each other. Regardless of what you may use to control your adhd.

 I try hard not to discredit ALTS, NOR MODIFICATIONS , NOR PHARMS.

 it may take a combination of all three to get us through this. Who knows.

 Please keep us posted Bailey.
