Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my name is Sam. I'm an 18 yr old male with no physical health problems. I've been having problems with inattentive and impulsive problems for a while. 6 months ago, I went to my family doctor . She prescribed me instant release adderall 20mg twice a day. after a few months, she upped me to 30 mg twice a day. I recently have moved and have to find a new doctor to prescribe my medications. I talked to one and he said he wouldn't see me because my dose is way too high. Is this true ? are there other medications I can take that aren't so high. Ps. I want to stay away from medications with sexual side effects.
Hi, I just read your post and saw that you are taking Adderall. I actually currently take it twice myself (went from 10mg to 20mg) for my excessive daytime sleepiness, and I must say it works great. Just recently though, I noticed very rapid heart beats which totally scaring me. Do you think there are other medications that give the same effect but not this kind of bad side effect?
