Subject: Need Help - Adderall
Hi. I'm looking for some help finding out what sites are specifically referring to when they mention "moodiness" or "mood disorders" as a side effect of Adderall. My sister started using this about a year ago and I'm very concerned with what's going on. |

Hi, Some of them are mood-related: Irritability, nervousness, emotional lability, and, rarely "mood changes" (not specified), even, very rarely, psychosis. She should consult her psychiatrist and insist on further evaluation pronto. Adderall isn't the only ADD medication. I saw someone have a terrible reaction to Ritalin (highly irritable) who did great with Adderall. The P.S. has the side effects listed by WebMD.

Hello to all! I have been reading posts for a couple of weeks now trying to learn all I can but what I have learned from you all most is that we are all so much alike! I am hoping someone can offer me some advice in regards to my situation(maybe you have even been in my shoes?); Anyway; I would be most grateful if anyone could throw their ideas my way. Here's the problem: I am a Medicaid Carolina Access patient & I have been in treatment for the past 17 years(since age 16) for anxiety/panic disorder. I was molested by my uncle for several years as a very young child and one of my doctors from the past diagnosed me with PTSD. I was on Zanax for 10 years and then Valium for the past 7 years. I have tried every anti- depressant known to man or woman with no success! I thought I would drown in my own depression. I started college but could not finish for paralyzing fear of failure. I have NEVER been able to hold down a job for longer than 6 months because when I get fed up I blow my "short fuse!" So; I have finally found a medicine that I respond positively to. For the first time in my life I don't feel crazy, stupid, lazy, slobbish, packrat, etc. AND what happens? I can't find a doctor who even believes there is such a thing as adult ADHD & especially not in a woman ! No doctor = no diagnosis = no meds = the same path of self-destruction & depression! Please help if you can! |
