   add meds/upset stomach (ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder board)

21st September 2007
hi....

what kind of add drug is she on?
is she on strattera or an amphetamine?

if its strattera then tiredness is definetly a side effect...when i was on it my doc told me to take it at night before bed at a regular time...that really helped...

as well...if its amphetamine, upset stomach is the norm. i feel quite nauseous for the first few hours and have intense diareha and cramping. what i find helps me (im on adderall, and was on dexedrine for a long time) is that i set my alarm and take the pill an hour before i wake up, with a big glass of water and a piece of toast (i know it sounds wierd, but i keep them by my bedside table and prepare them the night before), then i go back to sleep for an hour. by the time i get out of bed, i feel much more rested and relaxed and I have to go to the bathroom, but its not so painful.

in general, eating about half hour before taking the pill will help with upset stomach problems, but eating very very small portions. and drinking water in sips helps with cramping.
also, maybe the dose is too high...how old is your daughter?
im 22 and have been on and off adhd drugs since i was 12...
