I'm getting nasty headaches too now... not sure if it is the adderall or the ativan. That Ativan is scary stuff. Really knocks out the anxiety but wow does it come back hard if you don't take it........

Hoping there is something in my diet causing this stuff.......
You know, I am glad that you responded as you also take Adderall. I also take the 6 hour or so one and I also really feel the crash after it wears off. Recently I forgot to take it and I was so edgy and irritable all day and even when I am on it I am kind of cranky. I am thinking that I may have to change over to another stimulant or another med now. Some say different stims can react differently in different people. I am not usually so irritable. I only take 7.5 mg of the IR Adderall so I don't think it is too much of a dose. Since I am older my metabolism is slower so smaller doses are more appropriate for me. I will ask my pdoc if the Adderall is causing me to be so irritable. Some people swear that Vyvance does not do this.
