Adderall/Holly/Donna

[Guest guest]

<<The doctor is suggesting that we try Adderall XR. Not sure if we

want to risk having the same side effects. Does anyone have any

experience with this med either good or bad?

Hi, Everyone........Adderall made Gareth act schizo.....seriously.

Very belligerent, defiant, swatting at flies/bugs that weren't there,

screaming, kicking for no reason, couldn't handle any lights/sounds, etc. He

took it

for a week before I dropped it. Just watch the behaviors if you try it. I

know that it is in and out of their systems quickly....not like the SSRI drugs,

tec.

Holly...a bottle/can of beer each night is cheaper than medication and

hospitalization!!! Wouldn't hurt to try it!!! My grandfather was very

religious

and you didn't touch alcohol, but when the Dr. told him to do it every

evening, he did. Never had another stone.

<<Hey Margaret, how is your neighbor doing? I heard news reports on the

radio today about their son.>> Donna...I don't know. I have sent

her a couple of letters and she hasn't called or written back. Their phone was

changed right after, so I can't even call her. There is rarely any activity

in the house....don't know for sure if she is even there now. Thanks for

asking.

Take care, Everyone.
