adderal question | ADHD Information

Different types of stimulants will have a different outcome with each person. You may have to have the dosage adjusted, or try another type of stimulant.

For eating, try to eat a big breakfast that includes protein before taking your medication. Try your best to eat during lunch, and then eat a big dinner. A second late dinner is not unheard of when taking these meds. You could also skip both or one weekend days to keep the weight on. Summer and vacations are also optional.Awsome! Thanks somuch! I will try all of those! :)Hey! My name is Katie and I am 16 years old. I was recently diagnosed with ADD. I startd Adderal (the short acting kind)this weekend and it really helped! I could focus and was more calm and less fidgity and less on edge. My SAT scores went up significantly becuase I could now focus on the task! I have been taking it for about a week and I am going to get the long acting for school. ,howeverover the course of the week, I felt it was workign less and less. The first day I took it before school the teachers saw a great imporvment as did I. I would take another dose around lunch when the first one wore off. I dont know why it is workign less and less. Also I dont eatanythign while I am on it and i lost 3 pounds in the course of the week.Any tips for eating? Any help at all would be great! Sorry if I mispelled anything! I also have dyslexiaKatie12340556.7224884259
