Sandman...what do you think of the spray we talked about? Do you think it may be worth a try since jojorenee is an adult and would have a good feel as to whether something works or not?
Go for it. Really can't hurt. Doc should start you on a very low dose and wait to see how you react. You might want to start on a weekend. And a good breakfast also helps.
Just wondering if I should go ahead and try Adderall at all. I took the tests and feel it may be helpful. I want to ask for a low dose of IR and XR to see what works better for me. I am all over the place at work, etc. I cant prioritized and need to be on my game. any suggestions?
Why is it lawyers seem to have some sort of special interest in advice regarding use of adderall and adhd? I worked with lawyers for over 20 years and know that most attorneys sole interest is involved with making money and have little interest in anything past that. Being an attorney in no way qualifies you to give out any advice on the subject but you in particular seem to not only think you are qualified to offer advice as though you were a doctor but to also offer your judgment which is merely a personal opinion nothing more. The truth is as well as lawyers, there are some very unprofessional doctors out there who stand as jury and judge as to whether a person who has been diagnosed with adhd should be given legitimate medication for this legitimate diagnosis.
Patients are at the mercy of these weird doctors and dont need some nutty judgmental lawyers unqualified to offer medical advice using their title to give out unsolicited judgmental advice about something they simply are not qualified to do. The truth is I believe between the medical community and the legal community the combination is quite LITERALLY LETHAL and if left unchecked WILL very well bring down this nation.
My unsolicted unqualified advice to you is check yourself into a mental hospital untill you can control your urge to give out such dangerous advice. YOUR'E SICK AND YOUR'E THE ONE WHO NEEDS HELP!
JoJo,
I am glad that the medication is working for you. I was diagnosed young but never treated. I started Adderall about a year ago and it took away the fog that I had been living with for 25 years. It was weird, yet great to feel normal. I understand exactly what you mean.
30 mg of Adderall is an extremely high dosage to take. To take much more on top of that could be fatal. Maybe you should try exercising to boost dopamine levels, or even yoga. I started taking a yoga class and I could not believe how much it woke my brain up and calmed my nerves. For nearly a year, I would clench my jaw daily from taking Adderall. It was rediculous and was damaging my teeth. After two weeks doing yoga, I quit clenching my teeth altogether. I would try other things in combination with the medicine. If hollistic measures do not work, I would consider trying a new medication. There is only so much Adderall you can take until you've reached that limit. Also, anyone working like you do would have ADD symptoms- whether they had it or not.
Hope
he was a psychiatrist in a mental health practice. I believe he had been doing this with several patients... Im doing ok but dang the jaw clenching is the worst symptom and the fact that if I dont take it I just cannot focus I think they are going to add some other type of med to help but I just wish I could stop taking everything.
