Adderall made me weak

by thebeanman, Jun 16, 2007 12:00AM
My question is why would Adderall (adderrall) a stimulant at a low dose (10mg-15mg per day) result in extreme muscle weakness.  It seems as though adderall (adderrall) exagerated something that was already there. I was on it for ADHD  I am off it now, and the weakness actually got worse for a period of time and is just now getting better. (note I had been on a lot of different medications within a short period of time...Cymbalta, ZYPREXA* then off zyprexa back to cymbalta..then off of cymbalta and started adderall (adderrall).  I became weak after about 2 months of adderall (adderrall).  I became wose when I began to lower my dosage.

Also I am experiencing burning and soreness in my neck area. (actually I feel like my neck is coming back to life from being numb!)   I am wondering if I could have done something to my neck.  Currently I feel like I am regaining strength, but I also continue to have tingling sensations in my brain 1 month after being off adderall (adderrall). Could my nerves damaged? I am also extremly IRRITABLE more at night, and have difficulty falling asleep...In other words, I feel stimulated at nightime for whatever reason...  Does anyone have any idea what "COULD" be going on.  I will be working more with my doctor, but I am wondering is there anything in specific I might keep in mind with talking with him?
