Adderall & Dehydration
Published (2009-11-29 20:52:00)
Adderall raises your body temperature and speeds up your metabolism. because of the increase in temperature your body responds by increasing water intake to cool it down. its very dangerous not to drink lots and lots of water while on adderall . anyways, I always find my self going into so much detail without even realizing. Damn you OCD!! but I didn't want for all I wrote to go to waste. so read below for FYI....

I hope umm_lemme doesn't think I'm tread-jacking the diary but I remembered reading about the Adderall crash here and thought I'd relate to it. Henri- I hadn't crashed before but had been taking one of my 10mg Adderall IR at like 2-3 in the afternoon and was clear all day, but wouldn't sleep until like 2:30-3am which sucked. So yesterday took the extra at like 12:30-1pm and while I crashed around 4:30-5pm-ish I was...

Day 10, 11 -- I've only taken the morning dose these two days because of Thanksgiving holidays. I've gone three days without coffee so far, getting headaches in the second half of the day. I no longer get the euphoria and elevated heart-rate symptoms after taking it, so I don't "feel" when it kicks in anymore. Actually the euphoria and the rush of energy I got originally was counter-productive, so it's good that...

Speculation, sure. But Shire's got to have something to throw at us as more patents begin to expire. And why avoid releasing a 16-hour medication? That's unprecedented! I think it's far too profitable for them to just shelve it forever.

Published (2009-11-26 18:16:00)
Hello, Just a couple quick questions for all you guys. I tried doing some research on here already for an existing topic, but I actually couldn't find very much. 1) I am getting major flushes in my face-- it's a hot feeling, with the occasional tingling which is always brief. The tingly feeling occurs in my forehead area OR will "trail up my head". Its hard to describe... not a pain, not a pleasure, just a feeling. Also,...

newbie switching from Ritalin
Published (2009-11-28 12:51:00)
Ritalin does have an extended release formula. That could work for you as well. Although, they say it only last for four to six hours, but you could take it twice a day if you get up really early. The Adderall takes at least a week to build up in your system and for your body to get used to it before you can really tell what it is doing for you. So, take 20mg everyday for a week and then titrate up to 25mg or 30mg. Unfortunately, you have to...

Adderall & Dehydration
Published (2009-11-29 22:08:00)
My son feels dehydrated on his Adderall too. Along with drinking lots of water throughout the day just to feel okay, when he comes home from school, or after some good physical activity, he drinks a glass of V8, which helps replenish electrolytes and other good stuff that the Adderall seems to deplete.

I take Adderall XR and get some of the same things. It depends on how cold my office is too but.
Drinking water is really important because it can dehydrate you and I find I feel better and don't get the headaches if I be sure to hydrate.
XR is designed to get less of the peak/drop but it still happens to me. I am better in the morning.
It took a few weeks for things to line out.

I have seen people report on these threads sometimes that taking ADHD meds, especially dexedrine and desoxyn, that they become sleepy. But you don't mention becoming sleepy in the beginning of the day and that makes it an interesting case and I honestly have no idea what to tell you.
Of course there is no craving after you take the 10mg. Why would you if you already satisfied your desire? Me ...

I use the Barr brand but I don't "feel" my medications at all but I do notice when it wears off because I have this trail of crap following me and nothing is getting done.
I am glad you found a good product to bad the pharmacy listed is local - I looked and did not find a way to learn which pharmacies carry this brand.

I've never been on the XR. I have always preferred the control of the IR. What I have heard from some people is that the " time release" component of the XR made the drug overall less effective.
XR is supposed to release one half on taking the pill and one half later- several hours later if I am not mistaken. Many people taking XR also take IR for coverage. I am guessing but think that you ...

90 mg is a pretty large daily dose of Adderall. I wonder if you might be better off on Vyvance.
I've been told Vyvance is much more effective. Apparently a lower dose of that drug can be effective because your body will use most of it instead of passing it out through the urine like Adderall. Maybe Try 70 mg Vyvance and see if that doesn't work? I intend to try it out next month when my ...

Try to take breaks from the meds for 1-2 days..so that your tolerance will go down.
It usually helps. Like on the weekends or whenever you have nothing much to do.

If I were you, I would stay with the drug version (XR 25 mg.) you are at and just continue tweaking the amount until the fit is right.
I say this because oftentimes insurance formularies restrict you to certain drug versions, and you're often stuck with that or with a completely different med.
If it seems that nothing is going to work, then I' d change brands or med types.

Thats exactly how I felt about the three generics and old shire formula too.
What sucks that when dura med pharma (a division of Barr) bought the brand adderall IR from Shire in 2006, they did not change the formula.
But when Teva bought Barr in 2008. They made them change the formula for both the brand and generic.
I called Teva and informed me that she...

180mg/day... jesus!
I'm curious to know what dose you started with. Did you start on IR?
What amazes me the most about this medication is the dosage differences per person. I've basically on 20mg IR in the AM and 10mg IR in the afternoon, off & on since 00'... If I take more than that then I get the sweats and can't sleep.
I think my dr. would laugh at me if I kept raising my dose to ...

Call around to small independently owned pharmacies. There was only one in
my town that carried it so you might have to hunt a little. Sandoz also
goes by Eon so when you call, ask for both Sandoz/Eon.

Immediately after it starts to wear off at night, my head starts swirling, I am impulsive and a bit agressive, paranoia a bit, and I don't know how to aid in that. Adderall helps my life so much, but my husband and I have noticed thiis, is there anything anyone has done to aid in this type of situation, where it needs to wear off for bedtime, yet, you are a bit anxious? Vitamins? Anything or ...

Do you mind being more specific to the difference it makes? I mean, I found a local pharmacy that carries it and plan on ordering it from there when my current prescription runs out.
What exactly happens that's different? Like, do you focus more? What about the euphoria?
Thanks.

It would probably make a non- ADHD person feel wired or high. They may get more done, but when they crash...they crash hard. Normal ADHD people who usually take stimulants will feel calm, focused, and energized. No amped up feeling. This is just my observation.

Day 2: all through the night and morning felt a mild chest ache. It would come and go, and actually I can't tell if it's coming from chest, or somewhere deep from pectorial muscles due to an intense weights work out the night before so I'm going to ignore it for now.
Took 5mg at 8:30 and about half-an-hour later had a muscle twitch in my quad, it went away about 10 minutes later. I was ...

look at the 4th (last) comment. It sounds like Shire will pursue this after Vyvanse has had its turn in the limelight. What do you think?
To me, this sounds like a miraculous development in ad/hd medication. I've love to get my hands on some when it becomes available. 16 hours of symptom control? Could anything get ANY better?

Who makes your adderall medication? Barr? Corepharma? Shire? Sandoz? It
sounds to me like you're taking too much and that there are too much
medication in your system.

I take adderall instant release in the morning and take small dose of ritalin 5-10 mg late after noon with no problem. There has to be long time between doses.
I actually find the effect of small dose of ritalin extenuates or compliment my adderall dose in the morning.
As for the XR, I dont know how long it lasts for you.
Taking ritalin while you have a good amount of adderall in your ...
