[quote=Anonymous]I didn't see this thread before, so I'll just post here:

My teen DD was diagnosed over the summer with ADHD/Inattentive. Also, her providers are concerned she might be having absence seizures. She was started on 10 mg Adderrall XR daily. She likes it and feels better, except it wears off too soon, like by noon or early afternoon. Some days it works, other days it doesn't. Some days she has a crash, other days she's fine. Some days she gets a high, some days she has pretty severe mood swings. Her psych recently increased her dosage now to 15mg daily, but she wants more because she thinks it either wears off or stops working.

She was hypersexual, moody, depressed/anxious, and has very little impulse control and impaired executive function to begin with, the Adderrall has had no effect on any of that except for a slight improvement in focus. It decreases her appetite though. I am wondering if she's bipolar, or if she needs to be on a different medication, and what effect possible seizures may have in any of this.
