[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you sure he's being given Adderall for PTSD? Adderall is a stimulant generally used to treat ADHD. For PTSD the normal medication choices are SSRIs or sleep aids, like trazadone or Ambien. Something doesn't seem right. DH should talk to his prescribing physician,[/quote]

I remember reading somewhere that Adderall is sometimes prescribed for anxiety related to PTSD.  I forget the term, but it is kind of like how some doctors prescribe Wellbutrin to help people quit smoking.  [/quote]
I am the O.P and this is more like it.DH has anxiety related to PTSD, thank you PP[/quote]

Well you also said he has ADHD.  So it is more likely that he is taking it for his ADHD.  Sounds like both of you need to learn more about the medication and dosage.  He is taking it incorrectly and in order to help him, you need to know what he is taking for what and when he should be taking it. [/quote]
Thanks PP. I have decided to call his physician tomorrow morning about the situation and to learn more.In the mean time I am also looking at different sources from the internet, thank you![/quote]
