Hi! I just found out 1 month ago that I have Adult ADD. I am taking Adderall right now, but am having some side effects...headaches, cramping, some fever--on my face I feel hot (but I have not actually taken my temp). I am taking 20mg 1/day of the time-released capsule.
Are these feeling normal or should I change meds? I can tell a difference mentally (concentration, focusing) but physically I feel bla as ther day goes on. I am new at this so any feedback would be greatly appreicated.
Thanks, Upward_bound
Stop your medication and call your doctor! Yes, those are side effects but a medication's positive effects should always outweigh any negative side effects like the ones you're having. The effects you're expirencing could potentially be harmful, please let your MD know ASAP!
It might be too strong of a dose for you. I take 10 mg Adderall XR and have no side effects; but big benefits. I'm 6' 1" and weigh 210
