I am a college student who was recently diagnosed with ADD. My doctor prescribed Straterra first, but the copay on my insurance was too high so he started me on generic Adderall 20 mg. tablets.
I took 20 mg. on day one @ 2:00 pm. It worked great and I was excited! Then, I did not sleep even for one minute that evening. On day 2, I took 20 mg. @ 7:00 AM. I became ill. I threw up several times and was so dizzy that I had to lay in the floor for long periods of time.
On day 3, today, I took 10 mgs. I still feel nausiated and dizzy. Does this pass? Why did it not affect me this way the first day??? I don't want to be sick, but I don't want to just ignore my ADD anymore. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make this better. Does everyone go through this when they first start on Adderall?
