[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 556437, member: 3907"] I was also going to suggest talking to your psychiatrist about getting you off the Adderall. My oldest son has BiPolar (BP) and Asperger's, and was initially misdiagnosed with ADHD. After a disastrous time with ADHD medications (Concerta, Strattera, Aderall) and SSRIs (Paxil), we were able to work with his psychiatrist to get an accurate diagnosis and the right medications combination for him. He's doing much better now, able to be happy and live a productive life. Please don't worry so much about keeping it together in college. There's plenty of time in your life to sort that out. Right now you need to focus on getting healthy and stable, off the medications that don't work for you (and these include street drugs, which lots of people use to try to self-medicate), and onto medications that DO help. Your parents are there and they love you. We're here to support you as well. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
