must mention:
if you are prone to anxiety since it could be genetic -you can get a therapist and talk out problems of the past, etc.

just know that some anxiety there can be no cure -but with that said, you can figure out with the specialist that your body is simply (during the anxiety/panic attack mode) mixing up it's understanding of whether you are really having an issue or whether you are simply getting ahead of yourself -which either-way can cause you to stress before it is really necessary.
thus better understanding yourself with a therapist will help best.

a specialist to help get you a the right dose of any drug will also best help.

all these facts will get you on the road to dealing with your anxiety in a way that you will be in control of your attacks and not vice versa. this is how you get on top of this concern and learn to lead a better fulfilled life.

don't buy those books or sign up for those pills. research with the right therapist -ask around a friend if they can recommend someone, etc.

be open minded and find a solution that works for you best. no need to join a cult just do your own reserach and you can fix/adjust, etc. to your body's quirks.

good luck all!

ok my brother was taking adderall for about 1 year I reali dont no what the milliagrams where but i do no they where orange pills not the capsuls.And about a month or so ago he actually said he thought he was having a heart attack so my g/ma took him to the hospital and the doc said it wasnt a heart attack but it was hypertentsion or something like that.Also if he started playin a game or anything it was like everything else disapeared.I swear when he was playin a game watching t.v or anything else it was like talking to a brick wall.He also was up for days and wouldnt eat anything he lost like 30pounds when he actually needed to gain 30 pounds to begin with.A couple of times he didnt take it and he would sleep and eat ALOT.But after he had his (what he thought heart attack) he quit taking it and it has been about 2 months now and i feel as if he is doing so much better now.The first month he was off it tho he as i mentioned earlier ate and sleep ALOT and had extrem mood swings.He was also very depressed. Was that from the adderall?

I've been taking Adderall XR 30mg per day for two years. I've gained 20 pounds and feel terrible. My doctor keeps telling me he doesn't know why I'm gaining weight. That is making me feel even worse!!! Can anyone tell me what's going on??? I also take Wellburtin & Lexapro. Before I took any of these medications, I asked the doctor if I could gain weight from them. He told me that these particular drugs do not cause weight gain. The thing that's so frustrating is, I was put on these drugs for anxiety and depression (results of an abusive marriage). How can I begin to feel better about myself if I'm gaining lots of weight? That just kills it for me. Can anyone out there offer some advice? My doctor won't even let me take an appetite suppressant. I take Adderall in the A.M. If I want, I can go right back to bed and sleep again. I also get hunger pains about 2 hours later!!! Help!!

WHY DID YOU TAKE THE 8 PILLS? WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU? ARE YOU PLANNING ON GETTING OFF? I AM ON ADERALL XR AS AN ADULT FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS NOW. I AM 34. I TAKE ONE 20 MG PILL A DAY AND HAVE HAD SOME CRAZY MOOD SWINGS. I FIGURED IT WAS MY AGE WITH NO KIDS. ONE GOOD THING IS THAT IT HAS HELPED ME CONCENTRATE AND IT HAS HELPED ME STAY THIN! ALTHOUGH, RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN GAINING WEIGHT. IM NOT SURE WHY, IM DOING THE SAME THINGS. I GAINED 10 LBS IN 3 MONTHS. I DID GO FROM ADDERALL TO ADDERALL XR, BUT MY DOCTOR HAS BEEN SWITCHING ME THE WHOLE TIME IVE BEEN TAKING IT. IVE ALSO HAD WEIRD STOMACH GURGLES AND STRANGE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH MY BUTT. NOT SURE IF THEY RELATE, BUT I REALLY AM JUST LOOKING FOR OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. THANKS.

I have taken adderall xr 30mg once a day for 4 years and have noticed many different emotional levels and behavioral changes. At only 20 i am starting to become concerned with my mental state as of now and in the future. I have experimented with the drug and found that i can take 8 30mg pills at once and survive it, not recommended at all.

just started taking Adderall, though i am not prescribed. I went to my doctor and asked for it but she said no. I explained that I am often overwhelmed at work, I am a case manager and keeping on task with all of the work is hard. My doctor said when she was in med school, med students used to take it for that purpose.So anyway i bought 5 pills from a coworker. I seem to have super human energy, get all types of work done and stay focused all day. On the down side, in 5 days I have lost 3lbs., I want to lose weight, but not that fast. I have what I consider to be Adderall hangovers the next day, where I am extremely tired. I also have noticed severe headaches, every day that I have taken it, I crash by the end of the day at work and cant wait to get home, because I am so tired. My neck aches, and I had to change to a firmer chair at work, because all of a sudden my back is killing me, I also get insomnia and have to counteract the Aderall with Tylenol pm just to get to sleep. These side effects freak me out, and I don't know if I want to again ask my doctor for a script, but I get so much done at work, and I am heading back for grad school, I just don't know what to do? oh yeah, the pills that I bought were Adderall XR 30 mg.
