I dont tell my doctor everything, only medical related things (most
medical related things)

Welcome! I hope this website gives you waht you are looking for as far as information. My son was recently on Addreall XR in the a.m. and has other issues but eas taken off of it and put on Concerta. I thought we were doing okay with it, but he was having rages  and we are unsure what that is all about because this was all done recently. He also though is taking paxil for anxiety and not sleeping at night. Good Luck to you and I hope things go well for you!

 

Welcome!

I used to take adderall xr. I think drinking a lot of water is normal (i drank
a lot too) and had headaches but it wore off after a bit. Adderall XR really
helped me out a lot but switched. I want back on adderall

I used to see a therapist but stopped when my doctor became more
involved in my medications. The therapist didn't help much because I
didn't tell him much because I didn't trust him.

It feels good to get things off your chest, don't it?

Hey all

I first wanted to say that reading the posts of the other members of this boards over the last few days/weeks has been very helpfull for me throughougt my treatment regime.  I just have a couple of questions that maybe some of you may be able to help me with.

1.  I took adderall for the first time today (20 mg xr) it felt kinda wierd but i think it helped a lot.  i drank about 6 bottles of water and had a fairly bad headache around 3 oclock.  How do you know if you got the dosage right and how bad is everybody elses headaches?

2.  What kind of doctors do the majority of you guys go to? I see a therapist (psychologist) and a psychiatrist.   I am not sure if this is normal or not.  Also if anyone's in the L.A area i would appreciate a recomendation for a psychiatrist or a doctor my guy is really bad and doesnt seem to care aobut me getting better the least bit. 

Sorry about the long post but this stuff has been on my chest for a while, thanks in advance
