No, I do have problems with some stimulant meds due to anxiety but that’s never happened to me. If your doctor says you’re okay to be on stimulants I would try a different drug. Perhaps even request to try strattera, as that’s non-stimulant altogether. It was too harsh on my stomach for me to get through, it is that way for some people and I have IBS too so it was just too much, but it could be perfect for you.

Adderall was just never a good choice for me. I’ve been on ritalin, adderall, strattera, and focalin and focalin was definitely the best for me. You may have to try a few others to find what’s right for you.

As for how long it should last, I am not sure about adderall’s half life but I would call your doc ASAP and ask. They’ll be able to tell you.
