| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ADDERALL 10 | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | To concentrate in college | 4 months 3 20mg a d | 7/19/2012 | 5 | | 8/12/2004 | 5 | | 7/28/2002 | 5 | Idiopathic Hypersomnia/Narcolepsy | weight loss, urge to smoke alot, some visual disturbances (aka floaters and visual snow), rapid heartbeat, minor OCD | I finally know what it's like to be awake. Started from 10mg's with short duration, and now on 20mgs with a little more duration but less harsh of a comedown (I don't feel the need to nap when it starts to wear off) The only annoying side effect is minor OCD moments. I feel like I have been born again and being is the most novel thing on this earth. | 2 months | 1/13/2009 | 4 | ADHD | Increased attention to detail. Desire to be focused on something interesting. Feeling of happiness and excitement for the day. Loss of appetite. Desire to solve big problems. Increased care for hygiene. Increased worry of leaving a personal belonging behind. | I started taking Adderall Instant Release after switching from Adderal XR 20 mg. It is WORLDS better for me. I mainly take the drug for studying purposes (a student at Michigan State University). It works perfect for me because if gives me 6 hours to be perfectly focused out of every day. I hated the intense crash from XR. Instant Releases hit you much harder, but don't cause a fraction of the side effects that XR did for me. I feel a bit agitated and "Zombie-Like" when it completely wears off, but this is just minor compared to the way I used to feel coming down from XRs. | 21 | 1 months 20 MG IR 1X day | 11/28/2011 | 3 | 1X day | 7/18/2012 | 3 | Better focuc (at work, home) ADD | Ability to focus, weight loss (about 25-30 pounds so far while on low carb diet too, penis shrinkage has been moderate while flacid and mild while erect, premature ejaculation, loss of sex drive, episodes of paranoia (thinking girlfriend is cheating & spying on her), inability to fall asleep but can stay asleep. Sleepy during the day. Desire to rely on energy drink to either offset the lack of sleep or enhance weight loss. Too many energy drinks causes significant loss of focus, and multiple day insomnia, and lack of sleep mania and mania induced paranoia. | Also taking 200-250mg lamital (over 1 year), 200mg topamax (>1year), and 10mg (2 months) uroxitral (for difficulty urinating). | 3 months | 8/7/2007 | 3 | add | deppression, anxiety confusion, inability to think | iv been takking adderal since 1st grade im in ninth now. it was great and helped me alot but the past 2 years on it have been hell.i quit feeling emotion for others and only cared for myself i began to remove myself from my friends.this was on adderall xr wich iv been taking sinc middle shcool.i woke up angry and depressed.i dont take it over the weekends or during the summer. and dont experience withdraws, but the 1st week of shcool when getting back on it was hell i had panic attack and mood swing couldnt think about anything.i dont reccomend this for kids | 14 | 8 years | 9/27/2007 | 1 | ADHD | long term use of ADHD medication, from 1st grade to the age of 19 (12 years). Hard to determine natural development from effects of long term use. Long term negative effects seem to be: low energy; violent, extreme mood swings; cardiovascular problems including very high heart rate; depression; anxiety; periodic withdrawals from society/life/friends; possible increased risk of addiction; inconsistent sex drive; and a myriad of other conditions I could list. Short term (daily) negative effects: numbness, especially in face, impotence, sullenness, listless. | Little history of mental disorders exist in my family (I believe an aunt may have an undiagnosed disorder). I started life as a fairly normal, if disobedient, child. Up to 5th grade, ADHD medication enabled me to get good grades in school. After 5th grade, my grades declined, at the dismay of many teachers who considered me an avid student. I believe my diagnosis of ADHD and the subsequent medication masked and compounded other disorders that surfaced as I grew up. Little attempt was made at psychotherapy: however, my physician readily increased the dosage of adderall several times, with no appreciable positive effect. | 21 | 9 years | 11/29/2007 | 5 | duped the psych | come-down sucks when I happen to be feeling depressed and/or anxious. need to defecate 30min. after ingestion (rather pleasant!), thirsty, loss of appetite. The BEST side-effect: HIGH! | I LOVE it. It's a great, fun, creative, stimulant, awakening, drug! The only prob is that I can't take too much otherwise come-down sucks and heart palpitations become too noticeable. 20mg in a day is all I can do, and I'm lucky if I can do it the next day without compounding the unwanted peripheral nervous system stimulation. | F | 20 | 5 months | 11/9/2007 | 5 | diagnosed with ADD | Initially, first two weeks or so, I had difficulty sleeping and little appetite. Side effects lessened considerably after this time, though, and now I suffer no noticable side effects. | Diagnosed with ADD in August. Started on Adderall once a day, went to twice a day and have a much easier time in general. The benefits were noticable immediately. I felt coherent, was able to leave the house without forgetting sunglasses, cell phone, directions, water bottle; no more trips back into the house, less running late. Enabled me to pick up the phone and make those tedious phone calls, pay bills, answer emails, just see to life in general without the usual agony. Additonal benefit: I found I was less anxious. Talked with my psychiatrist about this, and he suggested while there was no physiological reason for this, likely my anxiety was being fed by my lack of focus and the repercussions of that, trying to keep everything together. Despite all the negative feedback I've read, I can say that for me it's really working well. Don't hesitate. Give it a try for 2-3 weeks, and if it doesn't work for you, try something else. | F | 40 | 5 months | 12/10/2007 | 5 | Adult ADD | Dry mouth, constipation (both went away after 2-4 weeks), nervousness (went away after a month). *Most side effects you get used to or they go away after a few weeks. | This saved my life! My body couldn't take Ritalin--I have Adult ADHD and mild Anxiety so Adderall, combined with a good antidepressant is a good combo. I take two 15 mg XR's. The IR's gave me the "sweats" and made me a little agitated. Adderall is the best thing that has happened to me. I wish I had it when I was in high school and college. I am an editor and I can actually sit for hours without going crazy. | F | 34 | 10 months | 12/17/2007 | 5 | Adult ADHD | Slight headache towards the end of the day (latent and not painful; more annoying than anything)...overall no issues at all... taking Adderall XR 10mg M-Fri for concentration at work... works GREAT! Makes me productive (not spun out like some of you) and positive and energetic and I utilize my time more efficiently and can focus MUCH BETTER than before. | Alot of these ppl on here are taking this for the wrong reasons - I think some are not chemically compatible with it and others are taking too high a dosage. I have never had ANY issues with it at all, minus a very miniscule headache at the end of the day that is easily fixed with a little (small!!) amount of caffeine. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG UNLESS YOU NEED IT OR YOU WILL BE HAVING SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS! THIS IS NOT A DRUGE TO ABUSE - USE IT FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE ONLY!! | F | 26 | 32 days | 1/2/2008 | 5 | Adult ADD/ADHD | Positive: Loss of appetite, weight loss, increase in sex drive (my husband loved this), NEED to be productive - had difficulty sitting still Negative: If something made me angry it could escalate quickly, more road rage, attention to detail on EVERYTHING wasn't always the best, some days I didn't want to be social | I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until I was 24. I responded well to very low doeses of Adderall - 5 mg twice a day - which my doctor was pleased with. 10 mg of Adderall XR taken at 7 am was keeping me up until 3 am the next morning. I tried 10 mg in the morning and would "crash" in the afternoon, feeling really run-down. 5 mg twice a day is perfect for me. What has changed: I no longer begin one thing, get distracted and then wander off, only to come back to find, for example, the dishwasher half-unloaded and all the cabinets open in the kitchen an hour later because I didn't complete the job. Forgetfulness subsides, much better attention to detail, ability to work quickly to finish everyday tasks that just felt so horrible to force my self to accomplish before (like cleanng out closets or writing long papers). The anti-social side effects are real but I found that skipping my afternoon medication allowed me some flexibility. I could be productive in the morning and early aftern | F | 26 | 2 years | 1/6/2008 | 5 | adult add, sleep disorder | unable to get to sleep for at least 12 hours after taking a dose; if i take it for more than about 5 days in a row, i start to get anxious/twitchy and have more trouble sleeping. | works wonderfully to help me get out of bed and moving, helps my concentration, and helps to ease my depression if i take it more than 3 days a week. i take it 2-5 mornings a week. | F | 27 | 3 years | 1/22/2008 | 5 | ADD | anxious feeling, mild headaches, loss of appetite. | It has really helped me. being diagnosed with add at such a young age was quite hard. I have been on everything. I first started on ritalin, then moved to amphatemine, then amphetamine salts, then to adderall, and now adderall xr 30mg. I am able to focus, and be able to get things done. I am a completely different person when I am off of it.(i have a tendancy to go kinda loopy)alot of people take it for the wrong reasons, and claim they have "add". well I have a test for you "fakers". ..... does caffine have a tendancy to make you tired, but sugar keeps you wired for sound? well there you go. you might have add. when people have add, any caffine product of any kind will make us quite drowsy while sugary products give us energy. look at what adderall is..... its basically speed. its PURE caffine. so it slows those of us with add down enough so we have the ability to concentrate. I love it. without it I have no idea how i would have been able to get through school. i | F | 18 | 14 years | 1/25/2008 | 5 | Adult ADD | Low grade headache the first day, no appetite, weight loss, constipation(?) | I take 10 mgs of the XR each morning. It has been great. I am an MSW and knew I had ADD, just did not want to take the meds. I finally gave in and am sorry I waited so long. Higher level of concentration, much less fidgeting and wandering thoughts. I am able to work the entire day and stay focused. Awesome! I don't know if I am constipated or just having less movement because I am eating so much less. I have no desire for any of my vices (drinking, smoking, schmoking then binge eating). I am hoping I can maintain these results without increasing the dose. No more headache, appetite is returning, and my sex drive is back! | F | 39 | 21 days | 1/30/2008 | 5 | severe depression | dry mouth, appetite loss and subsequent weight loss, occasional difficulty with sleeping, coming off this drug has been difficult for me | I take 20mg/day and have noticed a significant difference in my mood and my ability to return to functioning normally. I was previously experiencing a severe depressive episode and adderall initially helped to boost my mood while the other drugs took their time to kick in. I have taken adderall since and really, it's the only drug that's helped with my mood disorder for a consistent period of time. I am able to accomplish much more, be there for friends and family and succeed in the workplace and at school. I have had a great deal of difficulty though when I do not take adderall for a long period of days; I'd say I pretty much depend on this drug. Like it or lump it, that's the way it is. | F | 23 | 6 months | 2/9/2008 | 5 | ADD | I had none, not even withdraw when I stopped taking it cold turkey after I found out I was pregnant. | I took 30 mg of the XR daily and it was a life saver. I was so productive and just generally felt better about life. However it did not taking away my compulsive habits like spending, smoking etc.. | F | 28 | 4 months | 2/13/2008 | 5 | ADD | Dry mouth, decreased appetite | Adderall XR so far has been great. I took 10mg for 2 weeks & it did nothing. I now take 20mg & finally I can tell it is there. I'm still not sure if it is to the effectiveness I would like. I may bump up to 30mg. The side effects are so minimal. Dry mouth here & there, & a decreased appetite, my hearing is sensitive sometimes as well. This stuff is changing my life. I listen better, I can actually watch movies all the way through! I don't feel as overwhelmed, & can finally get work done. I don't get angry as easily, & now I finally feel like I'm happy again & can put my life in order & have control over myself. It is expensive even w/ my insurance, but well worth it! | F | 26 | 1 months | 6/7/2007 |
