I have been prescibed Adderall XR for a little over a year although I really probably don't need it. I often was having anxiety problems and finally decided to go to the doctor. My dad is a pharmacist so I got in that same day. I told him that I did not want to take the Adderall anymore because it's side effects outweighed its positives and that I just plain didn't need it. I then told hi how bad my anxiety had become. He finally decided to start me on #30 .5mg klonopin. He told me that if ths wasn't enough to call and he'd fax in #30 more. A month goes by and i call for a refill and waited till the Dr. called me back at the end of the day. I requested the 2mg klonopin but he said he didn't feel comfortable doing that since my dad wanted me to continue the ADD., meaning it's some what odd to get two different types of medicine like this. I wanted to see what everyone thinks about this and if anyone is in a similar situation.

Well I guess it is really
Well I guess it is really odd, but I am going to quit the adderall and then just tell him that the klonopin just doesn't help, and that I want xanax. The visit i made to tell him coerta wasn't working and I wanted ADD I just was honest and said I have taken it before at college and he gave me adderall. When I got the klonopin I was wanting xanax because I have also taken it and it helps calm me. I'm going to make an app. with my doc. The only thing that sucks is I have a past of using drugs but grew out of it and my dad/pharmacist gives me a weekly supply. I do this because we don't have to pay anything. Especially add. xr which has no generic.
I would say if i was you i would talk to the doctor about getting off the adderoll because if you need the klonipin more than you need the other than that's what i would do and maybe he can up u in mg's.
Hope i helped you some i'm not a doctor just sharing my opinions should talk to doctor about this.
