    I love coffee, probly wont give it up? who knows, I know that it is not the cause of my anger. I’m sure it isnt. Caffeine is wonderful, I can tell when I take to much. I dont take anything extra other than the adderall. I have become pretty laid back after starting the adderall. I used to snap at stupid stuff, not so much any more. I usally laugh make a joke and try to find a answer .

    AMEN to that, you are right about needing more though, I am just starting the journey and can tell I will need extra. I am smart enough to know, hopefully I will be smart enough to do it

    My DR. raised my adderall to 30mg aday. My meds kick in pretty quick. I dont have a problem with taking coffee all day long or tea, pop. I have noticed I poop out in the evening but try to make to the ymca to run, not been going as much as I used to but am getting back on track. I always feel better after working out. My problems seem to melt away. I drink about 1/2 a pot of coffee every morning, 2 ice teas at work and 2 pops, then 2 teas in the evening but I go to bed and sleep like a baby every night, only getting about 6 hours a night.I seem to have problems with anger and am stressed out with my minds ablities to not work correctly, lol, I am still learning about this problem. I wished I knew about this 45 years ago.

    I was self medicating in the early part of my life, but had no idea. I always felt great and normal when abusing speed or white cross. I quit doing that many years ago. I’m over 50 and just found out. I am taking adderall now, it is working great, but I’m noticeing I need more, or different treatment help. I’m looking for other things to help with the problem, I have seen 2 different shows on the tv, really informitive. I did know I had problems when it started interfering with my ablity and quality of life. It became a real problem in the middle 90’s, getting worst every year. We adoped our daughters and we had a family counselor to help with some problems the kids were having and was able to figure out that I had aadd. She was at the level that she could recommend meds and DR. will do it. I started on stratera . worked alittle. I talked to my DR. and he had no problem putting me on adderall. I got tested and found the problem was worst and that DR. raised adderall to 30mg. I want to overcome the problem so I do want more help and am going to find it on my own. I dont advice abusing drugs it is a terrible road to go down, I was afraid to take the adderall because of that road.It is working out great right now. It is best to see a DR. for meds not the corner dr. feelgood. GOOD LUCK!!! it has to get better
