I took Adderall for ~7 years previously - diagnosed ADHD inattentive. Over time I think it definitely had worrying side effects - fast, hard heart beats, red eyes, acne, stomach issues. I stopped and felt cognitive sluggish for half a year which impacted my work at that time. I think it was helpful for short-term/medium-term, but I think that a combination of meditation, exercise, good diet, and some herbal compounds is more sustainable in over the long term.

My doc put me on guanfacine. It’s a non stimulant and usually what they go to if you’re not taking the stimulants well. It has worked wonders for me.

I was just put on guanfacine 1mg two weeks ago. How can you tell it’s working? I was on Adderall on and off for years and I’m having trouble discerning if it has kicked in yet or I need a higher dose etc. My doctor has me take it at night before bed though so I’m wondering if I’m missing out on prime time.

little lightheaded/drowsy/feeling weak. also I've lost some of my appetite. libido seems to have gone downward as well. any one else have similar experiences? what would folks recommend Strattera or Adderall?

Why not adderall?

thanks for sharing Accenture 1

management consulting 1, I think the psychiatrist is first trying strattera to see if it works or not, then may move to adderall later? I think they might also try upping the dose of strattera first before trying adderall.

for those who have used Adderall, have u noticed any side effects?

Not at all
