In reply to never-ever taking Adderall ever again!!!, posted by garnet71 on April 15, 2009, at 21:34:06
> I was up until 7 this morning with one of the worst panic attacks I ever had. I couldn't get air in my lungs,and was coughing and choking and thought I was going to die, alternated by pacing the house and crying. then I saw stars and started to lose consciousness for a couple seconds then suddenly jolted out of it. Since I had a meeting a school and had to give a presentation today, I had to go to get help from a doctor
>
> She said I was having a severe allergic reaction and bronchial spasms but that my heart rate was good and lungs sounded fine. They had me on a breathing machine of albuteral, then I left with an inhaler and a script for stronger dose of xanax up from .25 to .5, and and only a $30 bill for all that.. All this from only 10 mg adderall I took yesterday. I guess it builds up in your system...I still can't breath right, albuteral only helps with that so much.

> But yeah, never again taking Adderall.

> But it's all good because I found the greatest doctor around, and am switching over to her. I just went to this random place near my home to see if someone would help me. They took me in less than 5 mintues. We talked for over half an hour, about school, antidepressants, and even drug seeking patients..lol. She just sat next to me, talking to me until I calmed down It was worth the torture finding her. She was definitely my angel today :)
Good to hear a good dr. encounter. Also good to hear from CareBear of the Adderall XR going generic (for those who are helped by it).
