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?

Not everyone can take it, when I first tried meds for ADD Ritalin was the first one and gave me hives for the few days I was on it. At one point tried others without side effects but they weren't as effective so just kept with Dexedrine.

Maybe the hives would have gone away but not exactly work friendly to be productive which was the reason for the meds in the first place.

Seems weird to go for amphetamines before trying stuff that isn't so nuts.
