Hi,

I have been prescribed to adderal 30 mg 3 times a day for three yrs now. I currently have a newborn at home who was very premature and had to stay in the hospital for 3 months. Hes only suppose to be 11 days old but is actually 3 and a half months old. My son is a miracle baby but has many appts and doctors. My son has 6 doctors,3 nurses come here a week, and two other programs that wil be in his life till hes five. I am a single mom with and 11 yr old daughter and my son. My daughters father is a great guy and we have joint custody on the other hand my sons father never met him and took off when i got pregnant. It is so hard doing all this alone. Not only andi stressed,lack of sleep,worried about my son,overwhlemed, but i am trying to get off adderal. When i have my medicine i am more alert and get things done but worry more. When i don't have it and try not to take it all I want to do is sleep but due to the busy life i have i can't even sleep through a whole night of sleep never mind a nap. I have no help what so ever. My mom watched my son for 3 hours once so i could take my daughter to a dance at school. What can i do to get off these and not feel so tired with my busy life for my kids. I am scared but on top f my stress i don't want to be on these and sometimes due to the fact that i am so use to these pills they don't work as wel and i sometimes run out early. I got myself lowered from 3 30's a day to 3 20's a day but its still not helping. I wish i never got on these i knew nothing about them until my old doc diagnosed me with adhd and if i knew what a struggle it was i would of never filled that script. I felt on top of the world at first always full of energy and everything was always done. Now its not the same and i want the energy i use to have without these awful pills i seem to stress about everyday? Does anybody have advise?? Please !

Thanks

Jenny

I just have a question to ask first...Who prescribed you 90mgs(3-30mg tabs) a day???? The maximum advised dose is only 60mgs per day. I to take Adderall and when my doc tried to increase my dose from 2-30mgs a day to 2-30mgs plus a half tab(15mgs) once as needed per day, the pharmacy would not fill it until they could speak with my doc and have him explain as to why! I ended up still only on 2-30mgs a day and that is what I still take to this day. I understand the sleepy problem when you do not take them, but it passes rather quickly...I have done what I call a "medication vacation" from time to time when I am in a spot that I do not need to take my meds, like at home alone or something like that and my hyperness will not p*ss someone off, I will not take it and that has proven to work out rather well. I can only ask you this...which of the 2 evils is worse...taking the medication and worrying, or being without and dealing with your ADHD symptoms and everyone around you? I wish well in whichever is the best choice for you. The best advice is you should be telling all of this to your doctor and seeing what advice he gives you. Happy Easter!
