I was recentley diagnosed with ADHD-Inattentive, and I started my treatment today. My pdoc told me I should feel a diffrence within the first dose, but she started me off on a low dose because Im on a mood stabilizer for bipolar. So my question is, does it take a few days to work, or does anyone think my medication needs to be adjusted? Ive taken two doses and I dont feel any diffrent. Im taking 5mg twice a day of Adderall. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. Josh

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Size and dose does not really matter for many ADD drugs. ie. 100 lbs teen on 20mg twice a day and a 250 man on 10mg a day.
Hang in there

i take adderall, but never had any warnings about those juices... ? what's the deal?
My pharmacist said any juice, coffee or antacid is okay 2 hours after the last Adderall.
I hear there are also warning about antihistamines, too.
Anyway, if it isn't working for you, maybe it's your diet. Try it on an empty stomach. I take it that way and I'm down to 5mg 3x/day.
