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?

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