Adderall Suggestions?

SWIY uses approx. 20-100mg of Adderall XR somewhere between 2-5 days per week (Usually chewed orally, sometimes just swallowed, sometimes crushed and snorted). Dosage varies and it is usually spread out through the day. Currently SWIY takes tums, 1 or 2 extra strength a few minutes before taking the Adderall. Daily Supplements include 250mg of Magnesium Oxide, a multivitamin, fish oil and occasionally 5HTP and Gingko Biloboa. Since its usually tough to fall asleep for SWIY after taking addie during the day SWIY goes one of two routes to fall asleep- natural: take some vitamin c, drink sleepytime tea, melatonin. Or The less natural route (usually for when SWIY has really been speedin) SWIY will have a few drinks (usually tequila :)) and take Klonopin and/or Xanax to avoid the tossing and turning.

Based on this SWIY has a few questions:

Should SWIY be taking any more or avoiding certain substances to avoid building an amp. tolerance or to make the Addie work better?

Do you have any suggestions for helping to fall asleep or mellow out for SWIY after a speedy day? (Benzos are hard for SWIY to find and expensive, also doesn't want to play with addiction... on a day substance free SWIY wants to sleep fine without needing meds.)

I don't know of any thing  that can help the side effects of taken adderall or any of the drugs they use for add and adhd.  Think you should go to this site and read it .

also taken Vitamins should help if you stop taken the Adderall, but need to ask doctor how you should stop taken it.

my son was on adderall and then concerta and they both have the side effect that can cause seizures. and now he has seizures and the medicine is not working.

I give him Vitamin B6 and Omega 3-6-9 every day and it has helped him with his learning ,beside him having great teachers.
