New User Question | ADHD Information

I know its only been 2 days - but its just frustrating.  I felt great yesterday - and now today - - nothing.  I'll try to be patient....and then call the Dr. if it doesn't get better.

 

Thanks!

I started on a low dosage as well. I took it for a month and asked my doctor if I needed an increase. He upped my dosage the next visit.

You do have to give it time. It is a very strong drug. You may also want to consider taking it later in the day if you get tired.

Good luck!!They always start you on the lowest dosage possible.  I was told to make sure my child had food in her stomach before she took meds just because of the fact it suppresses appetite. But any med will have stronger effect on empty stomach.  I suggest giving it a couple of days...find a normal routine and talking it over with your doctor.   

I just started Adderall yesterday - 15 mg.  Yesterday I felt great - felt it was working and thought this was what I have needed for years!  (I am 33).  Today - however, I don't feel the medicine hardly at all.  Yesterday I ate after I took the medicine - today I ate before I took the medicine - peanut butter toast.

Is taking the medicine on an empty stomach better than with food?

Any information anyone can give to a new user would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks!
