I WHENT BACK TO THE DOCTOR, TOLD HER I WAS STILL HAVING THE HEADACHES AND DIZZY,I ASKED IF I COULD BE SWITCHED TO THE{ DAW}AND SHE SAID OK LETS TRY IT,SO I HAVE BEEN ON THE {DAW} FOR ABOUT 2 MONTH NOW AND HAVE BEEN FINE ,NOT DIZZY OR ANY HEADACHES,BUT I HAVE NOTICED IT WASNT LASTING TO LONG ANYMORE,I WAS GETTING TIRED AT WORK AROUND 1-2 PM,SO I WENT TO HER YESTERDAY AND EXPLAINED THIS TO HER,SO WE DECIDED TO UP THE DOSE FROM THE 30MG TO 40MG,WITCH IS TAKIN {1}30MG AND {1}10MG,AND I DIDNT FEEL RIGHT AT ALL AT WORK,I FELT LIKE I WAS IN A BUBBLE,NOT FOCUSED AT ALL,AND I HAVE HAD A MIGRAIN ALL DAY,THEY ARE BOTH {DAW}SO WHAT COULD IT BE?IM AFRAID TO TAKE THE 40 AGAIN IN THE MORNING BECAUSE I HAVE TO WORK,AND I DONT LIKE FEELING THE WAY I DID.ALSO I NOTICED BEFORE THE NEW DOSE,IF I ATE BEFORE I TOOK THE MED OR RIGHT AFTER I WOULD GET TIRED JUST ALITTLE,IS THAT NORMAL?IF I JUST HAVE MY COFFEE AND THE ADDERALL I AM FINE.
THANKS
Thanks,i did tell my Dr that if i eat certain things it feels like i havent takin any meds at all,weird.
So ,sence i last posted i am now taking a 30mg and a 10mg.The first day i started taking the 10mg with the 30mg in the morning i got a headache from out of this world,i couldnt figure out why,so i did my research on the computer and looked at the pills in the new bottle,like i had said before ,i can not take the genaric because i had gotten headaches so i new something was wrong,or maybe the dose was to high,So i looked at the pills and searched,when i looked at the pills it had the gernaric name on it,i couldnt beleive it,the pharmacy new i couldnt take it,i had a long talk with him about it.
So i called the pharmacy friday morning and explained what i noticed,he tells me that he looked my med up on the computer for how it was filled and said it was filled DAW,i tell him well why does it have the genaric name on the pill,he says that it shoulnt,so he opens the bottle of DAW ADDERALL that he has and it is filled with GENARIC ADDERALL,and says he doesnt know why his bottle is filled with the genaric,so he opens the bottle of GENARIC and that is filled with GENARIC,he says he didnt notice and that he was going to call the company and find out whats going on.
I told him he needs to look at the pills before he fills them ,he could kill somesome that way.Thank god i dont have any other reactions then the headaches.
So to everyone that takes any kind of medicine,check the pills ,cause it migh not be what you are suppose to get.
Come to think of it,that happened to my father one time,same pharmacy,he got a whole pill bottle that had someone elses name on it,CRAZY RIGHT.Thank god he looked at the bottle,because alot of people assume that everything is right..
One more question,what drinks should i stay away from?Eileen said OJ,any others?Is there any foods?
Cause if i just have my coffee im fine.I dont want to dehidrate or starve myself but i need the full effect of this medicine to fuction at work.
Thanks
