About Me
Very active in my life with work and my church, have been focusing on a number of health issues for a few years primarily adrenal fatigue, but having recently been reviewing symptoms of fibro and most especially chronic pain in lower back/sacral area, so very interested in improving quality of life for myself and of course helping others. Just want to say how grateful I am for everyone here who has been so thoughtful and caring

Hi! I didn't realize you take the Vyvanase now. My DR offered that to me, but I was happy with the Adderall. The dose that I take...is actually Adderall XR 30mgs, 3 times a day. It actually works best when I take all 3 Adderalls right when I get up. Because it is extended release, it usually lasts the whole day and I get tired in the evening. I don't feel any anxiety or negative things when the med wears off. Hopefully that will go away for you the longer you use it. When I started Adderall, it was only 5 mg a day. We quickly realized that wasn't enough, and thank God my DR was fine with giving me more everyday. I have been on this same dosage for over a year and I still am having great success with it. I hope it works forever for me! I am only 34, I have to work full time at least 16 more years...and I wantto continue to be able to have a life! With these meds, I can have a life. It's nice to meet someone that didn't find the natural products helpful for fatigue and is trying the meds. I don't feel so alone! Believe me, I tried every natural product that was supposed to end my fatigue...and I just wasted a lot of money!

Hi there! I just added a post to your topic of medications for fatigue on the Advice list. I take the meds you are questioning, and they are wonderful.

Close Chronic Pain
I have been dealing with chronic lower back pain caused by an injury to my sacroiliac joint area. As with many of you it h as been a battle to obtain proper pain meds in addition to correct diagnosis and all that is involved in pain mgt. I'm trying to obtain the proper medication that will work long term, without having to feel like I have done something wrong or a drug addict or something when I talk to my drs! Anyway, thanks in advance I look forward to being part of your community

Open ADHD / ADD
Diagnosed a number of years ago after going thru rehab, took adderall for a few years then stopped about 6 years ago as I was feeling too anxious, recently I hurt my back and have been on pain meds and needed meds to focus and stay alert. still trying to find the right combo it is very difficult but doing much better
Treatments
- Adderall Working / Worked
- Did work but too many side affects, especially stomach and nervousness. that was several years ago thinking about going back
- Dexedrine Working / Worked
