Hi there. So glad to find a place to get advice from others who know how I feel! Anyways I have thought I was ADHD all my life, but I finally went to talk to someone. Anyways I was given script for Adderall to take 20 mg in am and 20 mg at 12 noon. First few days...headaches. Went down to 20, still headaches....went back to 20 and 20 and the headaches went down considerably. I can take aspirin to tolerate. Thank goodness. Has anyone noticed increase of anger while taking adderall? I go back this week for follow up appt. I feel so anxious when taking on days I dont HAVE to do anything...Like today a day off, and all i feel is anxiety? I would appreciate any help.:confused:

I don't know if you're on XR? I started on a low dose and titrated up slowly. I started on 10mg a day for a week, then went up to 15 mg. once a day for a couple of weeks before going up to 15 mg twice a day. I stayed at that dose for a month, before going up to 20 mg twice a day. I've backed down from that dose because it was causing me anxiety side effects.

You might do better with a lower dose.

I just read the script it says xr. I think the reason I was started on this dose is because I have been seeing therapist. She was the one who said I should consider meds. He mentioned to me that anxiety can worsen on adderall. Have you tried any other meds? When I first started the headaches were Horrible! I did go down (on my own) to 20mg a day. But noticed I was not focused as I had been. I talked to pharmacy, and they said the headaches should go away with time. Now they are mild, aspirin works great. Anyways.... the pharmacy also said they can become addictive, and to maybe not take on a day I dont need to focus. Have you ever heard that?
