Has anyone ever taken an ADD/ADHD medicine such as Adderall/Vyvanse? Is it normal to experience headaches when starting this type of medicine?

I’ve taken both and no headaches. It does increase blood pressure/heart rate so I can see how it could in some people.

From my experience, dosage is likely too high. I got major headaches after restarting Adderall (took 2 years off for pregnancy/BF). Doc lowered my dosage for a few months to ease back into normal dosage and bad headaches went away!! Talk to your doc.

Also make sure you’re drinking lots of water! Adderall a diuretic and can have similar side effects to dehydration (headache, dry skin). Good luck!

I know it won’t make a big difference in the payslip as it’s a taxable benefit but is it worth keeping the private medical in the UK? All this time I’ve never used it and we need to go through the NHS first anyway for pretty much everything.

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)
