I just recently was diagnosed with ADD> i am 33yrs old. i was having a very difficult time concentrating, focusing, MEMORY, recall...etc...
I am NOT hyperactive.
I started on Stattera for a month. the only thing i got from Stattera was that i could never sleep...i was WIDE awake. and even if i got 3hrs of light sleep i was still wide awake when i got up in the am. SO there was a postive and negative to that.
I went back to doc cuz i felt no difference with the med. She put me on Concerta for 1 week and 1/2. the pharmacists said i *should* experience something the day i took it. again i felt nothing at all. not even being alert like strattera.
SO,,,,she started me on Generic Adderall 7.5mg 3x/day 4 days ago. i felt nothing the 1st day. and everyday since the 1st day i have increased the morning dose by 1 extra pill.
so i started on 7.5 in the morning and now at 37.5 in the morning....and i dont see or feel or experience ANYTHING different.
I have spoken w my pharmacists MANY times. we are both confused. i am not responding to any of these meds..........WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?
it seems everyone else responds at the 1st dose and i have taken 5x the initial dose in the a.m. and still havent experienced anything different from day to day. Could this be a SUGAR PILL??
Whats going on with me??? do i need a Branded Adderrall? or different manufacture of the GEneric Adderall? or try Ritalin?
CAN SOMEONE HELP???
i am frustrated and need some help! thx in advance for the help!P.S. its a 7.5mg Blue Pill made by BARR
NEED HELP!

My friend recently started this med and I just got a script myself but havent tried them yet. My friend mentioned the same thing that she had not felt any difference the first few days. Now shejust stays awake until late hours in the evening. I will see what my pills look like when I pick them up. Best of luck!

I don't "feel" anything from my adderall but others notice I sound more knowledgeable and I have been told that I communicate better when taking it. After reviewing reports I wrote off adderall and on adderall it was clear to me that it made a difference. However, it wasn't "noticeable" to me necessarily....does that make sense? Has anyone around you noticed changes that they could help you evaluate its effectiveness....just a thought...Big one that others noticed was that I stopped interrupting them during meetings (which I am sure was a nice thing for them) other things people said was that I "did a nice job explaining my reports" versus taking forever to review something and jumping all over the place....
