I began taking Adderall when I was about 16 yrs old.My doctor prescribed me 30 mg of Adderall RX. At first I would take it ALL the time (more than I was prescribed) and my grades improved tremendously..but then all the bad side effects began happening. I would get horrible back pains, had trouble swallowing (felt like I was swallowing a ball of dry food - usually happened late at night) Insomnia that kept me up all night. Another side effect that led me to stop taking the meds all together was that I felt like it was slowing my brain down. I couldn't construct sentences as easily as I once used to, and I felt like a ROBOT. I was numb to everything, my friends even started noticing my change. I was just a different person on this medication and not my usual bubbly self. So I stopped taking the medication daily and would only take it when I really needed it - for example, SAT'S, test, etc. When I got to college I began taking it as well for tests, long lectures, etc..but I started getting horrible migraines at night - not even Tylenol would work.. I used to have to lay in complete darkness and try to go to sleep. HORRIBLE. Anyway..has anyone found any remedies for the side effects you feel later on in the day when you start "coming down" from the medication? Tylenol doesn't seem to work..also, is it okay to be on sleeping pills and adderall? My doctor prescribed me both but I really felt like she was just handing out meds just cause she could so I didn't take them.
