Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Ellen, My son just started taking Adderall XR as well. We are slowly increasing the dose. Thanks for telling us about your daughter's side effects. I'll keep an eye out. Therese --- musicgirl9395 <musicgirl9395@...> wrote: > Hi, > My daughter also tried Adderall XR this year.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I posted a few months back about my son loosing insurance. He is on adderall XR and i have searched and searched for assistance programs and no one does it for his medication. He is loosing the texas chips program due to my husband making 43.00 too much a month and we can not get him on my husbands insurance till decemeber. I went ahead and got vyvanse to try and it does not work but i am wondering they only gave him the 30 mg and he was taking 40 in adderall. Should i try a higher dose of vyvanse? Or does someone know of a medication that works as good as adderall or another place i can try for assistance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
