So I finally got diagnosed with ADHD (apparently I actually bombed the MOXO if you saw my previous post). I started 10mg IR adderall on Tuesday. Firstly it has been life changing so far but if I start writing about that this will become a novel.

The main thing I’m wondering about is that I have also noticed that about 1 hour after I take a pill I get a bit of a headache and my upper back and shoulders ache. It isn’t bad, it’s just enough to be annoying. I’ve been paying special attention to make sure I’m still eating, sleeping, and drinking enough so I know the achiness isn’t linked to any of that. Did anyone else get this sideeffect, does it eventually go away, and if so how long did it take for you?

    No, thankfully it was something specific to Adderall and most of the effects went away when I was switched to different medication. This was a few years ago so it’s hard to remember exactly what was said but I got the impression that it was not very common or well understood. They just knew that Adderall disagreed with some people, and I was one of the unlucky ones.
