Adderall XR

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My daughter also tried Adderall XR this year. Prior to that she had

tried the regular adderall and concerta. Neither of them worked. The

adderall made her more anxious when it wore off and the concerta made

her very anxious without no help in concentration.

The adderall XR (10mg) was great for about a month! She loved taking

it and her school work improved, etc... but slowly it seemed that her

personality kind of changed. I don't know if it was anxiety taking over

or what. She became kind of defiant at school, put her papers on the

floor and refused to pick them up. The teachers refer to this day

as " that BAD day " . All the teachers told the others that she was

having a bad day. In retrospect, I see that her behavior slowly got

worse. We took her off of it the next day, and her mood was better.

The adderall made her kind of took her nice emotions away.

Anyone have any experience with that?

I wish it had worked because when it helped it was like a new child!!!

You could see the tension be released from her as it started working.

Oh well..........we'll keep trying.

I am so happy for those of you who can get help for the ADD because I

think that this lack of focus has a large impact on their OCD!!! Ellen
