Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello. I am the foster mother of a 17 year old girl who is on Adderall and she is taking her prescribed dosage. She is experincing anxiety about sleeping, feeling she can t wake up. She describes it as in my head I am awake but I can t wake my body up. No other symptoms. She has been in the foster system for 5 years and is almost 18 years old. I am thinking it may be anxiety regarding being close to aging out of the system. I don t want to ignore a physical debilitation but my gut says it is psychological.
dear madam Adderall is being given to her for what condition ADHD or narcolepsy. her other symptoms seem to be related to anxiety and co-existent depression. She is obviously worried about what future holds for her. please approach her gently and ease her pain and anxiety by reassurence and explanation.
