So does anyone out there have trouble making friends???
I have an easy time making friends. Maintaining them is another story. I cannot keep more than three close friends at a time, and even that's pushing it. It's very easy (too easy) for me to let peo…

What MG are you taking? And is it instant release (IR) or extended release (XR)? My first med was Adderall XR 15mg once a day and I loved it. It finally made everything "normal" for the first time in my life. It was like having a vision problem and…

It's very easy (too easy) for me to let people slip away from me.
Grumble!!!

My doctor eased me over to Pristiq to get me off the Effexor XR (which had nightmare side effects).
I'm glad she did. Getting off the Pristiq was a dream (whereas getting off Effexor=impossible). During those years I was on Effexor, my panic and an…
I'm having a setback and I find it terribly upsetting.
Within the last week, the Adderall has stopped working. Is that possible?
I'm getting so overwhelmed at work that I've been gripped with absolute terror. The panic attacks are back. I've been…
I do the SAME thing, Brandi. But, like you said, if I (or my mother, or whoever) convinces me to take my pill. I ALWAYS feel better. I'm sorry you had such a rough day, but it will get better. This site has been a life saver for me. I'm rushing & of…
That is very true, I tend to get so frustrated with the medication that I forget what a mess the ADD has caused in my life. Currently I have mountains of bills and mail, an overdrawn bank account, a job I'm not thrilled about, an unfinished college…
I have read quite a bit (not just here, but many other places as well) about people being concerned about "stimulant" meds. I wonder if you are confusing a stimulant that causes you to be more active physically with a psychiatric stimulant that stim…
Good point about making sure you eat something on Adderall. I notice that my anxiety increases big time if I don't eat enough. Several things I've researched say that taking stimulant meds with some protein makes them more effective and it will last…
I relate to SO much of what you wrote, Christina. I don't even know where to begin, but YES - the part about freaking out in a convenience store because all you want is a drink & there are 500 options. That is dead on. I can't tell you how many time…
My doctor prescribed me 10 mg of Adderall to be taken twice daily. I was hesitant because the 5 mg didn't do anything.It's not a huge difference, but it's enough. I'm not cleaning my house like a mad woman or rushing to read books I haven't touched…
Cristina,
I feel like we have the same problems! I also get nervous about the stimulant medications, and I always think it's going to make me feel worse, but it usually does the opposite.
I'm so glad you had a good day with Adderall today. The mor…
Jen-
Birth control has been a nightmare for me, too. All of them have had awful side effects, mainly anxiety, bitchiness, and a feeling that I'm losing my mind. It's amazing the power our hormones have over us.
Sometimes I think my ADD and anxiety…
For the week before my period and the first few days during my period, my anxiety is through the roof. It's become unbearable within the last year.
Have you had a full flood workup to see if your hormone levels are within normal ranges? My doctor s…
Thanks for the responses!
Adderall: Today I had a breakthrough with this drug. It's almost as if it kicked in for the first time. Today it gave me the confidence to speak my mind, be assertive, and socialize. It also gives me energy. It's almost li…
