I just started taking Adderall a week ago This week I feel very light headed Is there a time frame for your body to get used to the medication?
It varies. How much are you taking? Initially, you start out at a low dose (eg. 5 mg, 10 mg), and then the dosage is evaluated. Have you discussed your side effects with your prescribing doctor or pharmacist? It took less than a month for me to get used to it. I started on 10 mg Adderall IR and gradually moved onto Adderall XR 30 mg. Some people would say that those first days/weeks on Adderall are the best, because the "high" is greater. IMHO, Adderall is an effective medication for ADD esp. if taken properly. Your age, weight, and other medical conditions also contribute to how long it'll take for your body to adjust.
What else can I help you with?
Should i decrease dosage of Adderall slowly?
Unless you have specific instructions to do so by your physician, you should NOT reduce the dosage of ANY medication unless directed by a doctor. Serious side effects can occur if you do not follow your doctor's instructions on taking a medication, especially a brain chemical balancing medication such as adderall.
Will taking Adderall cause bumps on the tongue?
Some people have experienced painful bumps on their tongues after taking Adderall, but it is not a common side effect. If you take Adderall, or are going to be in the future, I would recommend taking it as prescribed by your doctor and seeing how it works for you. If you do happen to get tongue sores, then you're probably better off asking your doctor for an alternative medication. Adderall causing bumps on the tongue is a rare occurence, but it has happened.

What if your ADHD medication wears off too quickly?
If your ADHD medication is wearing off too quickly, you should consult with your doctor about alternative treatments: Adderall XR, Vyvanse, and Daytrana are all extended-release preparations of stimulant medications. Strattera is a non-stimulant option that lasts longer than most stimulants. If you are taking an amphetamine-based ADHD medication (Adderall, Dexedrine, Vyvanse) consuming acidic drinks before taking medication could reduce the effectiveness.
If you are restless and anxious the first day you take Adderall does it mean you do not have ADD?

Is it dangerous to stop taking adderall xr suddenly?
Adderall does not affect your body in any way that could directly cause any reaction when you stop taking it. The simple answer is that you will feel how you did before you started Adderall, which might seem different if you are too accustomed to the feeling of taking it. Adderall may be taken whatever days you choose and doesn't require to be taken on a regular basis. Start and stop as you wish as long as you can function without it.
Is it normal for a 7 year old boy with autism and severe ADHD who has just started taking adderall 5 mg daily to have the side effect of being very emotional?
A: The "normal" effects on children when referring to Adderall should in fact be calming, and focusing. Your child shouldn't be an emotional wreck when taking Adderall. You need to talk to your doctor about the sudden abnormal side effects the Adderall is causing, because sometimes it causes suicidal thoughts and worsens unknown psychological illnesses. They will probably switch your child to a non-stimulant medication such as Strattera. And another thing perhaps the reason that the Adderall is acting adversely could be that he is also autistic. Because in that case the Adderall would definetly worsen the autism.
How do you clean Adderall out of your system?
Since Adderall is excreted through your kidneys, one of the ways to clean it out of your system is to drink, or take, any diuretic such as drinking caffeinated beverages, eating chocolate, or taking medication such as lasix. However, do this with caution, because both caffeine and Adderall are stimulants, taking them at the same time may be dangerous.
Will ingesting 60mg of the add medication adderall in one dose kill the person taking it?
It is a possiblity, taking 60mg is not safe. Adderall causes your heart to speed up and raises your blood pressure. If you are going to take 60mg make sure you dont excersize. If you excersize your heart rate will raise drastically, putting you at risk of a heart attack. Also adderall raises your blood pressure so make sure you dont get too worked up about anything, or your blood pressure will get very high, which is very bad for your health.
