Adderall question- Just started yesterday!

I was diagnosed later in life (in 50's) and just started Adderall IR 5mg yesterday. I noticed a calming of emotional reactivity, obsessive thinking, less ruminating thoughts, less depression, more ability to just get through my day without fixating on a million things at once etc. Definitely some relief and major hope for what is to come.

But today, I am not having that same effect and I am also noticing more side effects (dry mouth, sweating and clammy, more jitters, nausea). Did I just have a one day "honeymoon" or is there still hope that I can benefit from this med?

I ate protein and good fats prior to both morning doses.

What was your first week or two like? ****I hope to hear only from those of you are are benefiting from this med because I do not have the capacity to hear any horror stories about it right now! Thank you!

Hi! I really would love to hear from those of you who have tried LENS as well as other forms of Neurofeedback (particularly ILF). Can you please share your experiences with both and what differences there were? I am seeking this treatment for my 14 yr old who is autistic w/ ADHD, anxiety etc and I really want to make a wise investment and need to do my homework on the differences between the two. Thanks so much!
