| 1 | ADHD | Chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease (RA). Fibromyalgia. Adderall induced depression. | There is a reason there are no long-term studies on this drug. After 5-6 years of taking Adderall XR 30 mg and 10 mg later in the day, taking days off from Adderall was not an option. Because on my 'days off' I never moved from the couch, had zero energy and slept like I hadn't slept in years, so I basically 'needed' it everyday for energy. Soon I started not being able to get out of bed without it. I worked full time, went to college, and raised my kids, bought my own home, etc. After Twenty + years of Adderall, one morning after laying in bed waiting for the Adderall to kick in, nothing happened, but I decided to get up anyway. Only when I got up, I could not even move my leg to walk. I knew all the years of taking this artificial energy my body could not produce one ounce on its own. I was done. The gig was up. I laid in bed for a year. Lost my job, lost my house. I slept and slept and slept. This drug is working with your body to give it energy, in excess. Don't for one minute think there won't be a price to pay, because there is. It robs your immune system. The reason there are no long term studies on this drug is because when adverse reactions began appearing, the study ended. There is no profit in bad drugs. Don't fool yourself into believing there is no harm in this drug, for this drug to give you energy, it is taking the energy from your reserves. When the stimulant receptors can no longer respond to the drug, disease sets in and your body gives out. | F | 51 | 25 years 30 1X day | 4/22/2016 | 1 | ADHD | anguish, no desire for any kind of relationships, personality changes, dry mouth, head pressure | Perhaps many of you noticed that alot of people on this drug or any stimulant of the like is also bipolar. Well, despite what your shrink says...your not, yea really. Ive been on these types of med s since I was a child, and it wasnt much longer after I was put on ritalin that I diagnosed by polar as well. Here is why you are getting diagnosed as by polar. Upon taking adderall you get a high, and feel pretty confident and are in a very good mood and slowly through a 4 hour period of time you will become down and feel pretty crummy about your self and bee depressed. take note, its the medication, not you, that are bi-polar. It took me long time to realize this, but take the first step and skip a few doses, I not sure how long complete withdrawl takes but it takes exercise, commitment, and blind faith. | M | 21 | 17 years | 5/22/2006 | 5 | i took it because they told me to | 16 years experience, it got me feeling so good i eventually got kicked out of school. now that im 23, i control how much i take and how many different doctors i go to to get it. my skin is nice, my eyes are real big. people say i am a breath of fresh air, always smiling, never really in reality.. when i am.. im asleep or tending to the other two of the three A's, that would be acid or alcohol. the side effects would suck if i were to stop at one pill a day. finish off that bottle, that way you only notice the effects once.. and it does nothing to me but make me lazy and chill. i love my days of rest..and i love waking up and going back out into the world only to be one who people call the voice of reason. if they only knew. | think about the big picture.. you can live your life taking something everyday back and forth, on top of things one day, and then feeling like you don't know who you are when you experience a moment of that person you think you once were.. you will never really know till you hear the voices... everyone who has a brain knows they are never there... don't tweak.. this stuff is FDA approved... Crack makes you tweak.. listen to every word.. its your mind messing with you, its a part of your mind you can't control, if you can't take it for what its worth, your missing something very important being told to only you by the one that knows you best... yourself. | F | 23 | 16 years | 1/6/2006 | 5 | add | My liver hurts a lot. My heart beats fast. Sweating,dependency loss of appetite. Blurred vision | *** PLEASE READ**** Been on some sort of a.d.d medication sense i was 5. Yes it is very helpful and and i am very focused when on it. I do believe it helped me get threw high school and into college but there are long term side effects. I started wearing glasses at age 14. No one in my family wears glasses. Even stopped growing at 16, Now at age 19 i started havening liver and heart problems and i sweat when it's not even hot, only when I'm on it. Honestly I'm not sure if it was all worth it, but i am were i am today because of it. If you do have any question about this drug please email me and i will help as much as i can | M | 20 | 16 years | 3/21/2008 | 5 | I was diagnosed with ADD at 14 | Cold sweats (funny odor), heart racing or skipping beats, loss of appetite, blurred vision, increased bowel movements, dry mouth, lack of thirst, flat personality, overly outgoing personality, productive even with things I hate to do (and would not do if it wasn't for the damn pill), insomnia, blacking out while drinking (even small amounts), spacing out, distant in social situations, memory loss, lack of enjoyment in things I used to do when I am not on it, increased dosage due to tolerance, loss of appetite, insomnia I was diagnosed with A.D.D. when I was 14 or so, my whole family was actually. To this day I wonder if that was true. My dad eventually quit taking medication for it, my brother should take medication for it, and my mom eventually started using illegal amphetamines when her doctors stopped prescribing her "enough" do to hypertension and high blood pressure. As for me, I have taken it off and on over the years, I find the times in my life when I take it, I am | I can tell through years of taking it that my brain goes fuzzy when I don't. Even now when I'm on it I seem to have trouble with my memory. When I mix it with alcohol (horrific mix) I only need a drink or two before I blackout. I fear telling people when I do because I don't want to know what I said or did. Lately, I have been having bad insomnia. I've taken this for years and didn't have this problem until recently. I'm trying to get my life together, doing things I don't want to do, which this pill is good for, but I'm starting to think the physical side effects and long term damage aren't worth it. So then what? Fuck off my life until I give in and start taking it again? I've seen this medication do wonders, I've seen it wreck lives. I don't really know where I fall in this spectrum, but I know this stuff is nasty... super bad for me, but I depend on it now. I truly wish I had never taken this stuff. Parents or people considering taking this drug, seriously reconsider. This is a life long decision with a high potential for negative outcomes. I think you should allow yourself or your children to be the way they are, and find social, mental, physical outlets and ways to be accomplished and successful without the drug. Also research what it does to your dopamine stores in your brain. Coming off of it after years of use can lead to a pretty lack luster view of life. That being said... time for another dose. Sigh. | F | 25 | 16 years 20 2X day | 3/22/2014 | 5 | add/adhd/ocd/ptsd/sideeffects | I LOVED IT! IT FELT LIKE GREAT! | M | 2 | 15 years | 10/8/2004 | 5 | ADD | read next paragraph | I first started off taking 10mg when I was about ten years old. My inital response to it wasnt very positive because I couldnt think about one thing at a time I had to do a hundred things at once. So my mother decided to get ritalin prescribed for me to see if that drug would work better. Ritalin only made me go to sleep and feel very slugish. So I discontinued taking all of those meds for about 3 years. When I was 13 i started to take them on and off until i was in college. My freshman year I started to take them a little bit more, once i was in my sophmore year i was taking them every day. I would stay awake for 3 days at a time with no difficulty what so ever. After about a year of that I got very burned out I was taking up 160mg XR a day. I never sorted my adderall I always opened up the caps and empty them into my mouth. I then would follow it with five caps of Stacker 2's to ENHANCE THE rush. Then I started to use smokeless tobacco which really got me going because the nicotine and adderall used in conjuction are some how complemented by each other. So when ever i took adderall I would chew about maybe two cans on of kodiak wintergreen in a givin day. Now I am 23 years old and i am back on the recomended dosage 60mg a day. I have to say adderall is a drug that should be watched very carefully because if its abused than you will have so many problems to deal with. The only problem with adderall i have to say is that i dont remember what my personality was like when i didnt take it. I forgot who i used to be?? My life is centered around that drug because i wouldnt have any idea who i was if i didnt take it any more. Don't get me wrong I love the drug because it has helped me get a 3.2 GPA with a bachelors degree. But if i didnt have that drug tomorrow i would nt be able to get out of bed! Its very hard to explain! | M | 23 | 15 years | 5/27/2005 | 5 | fun | i love the idea of never sleeping agian | M | 35 | 15 years 30 10X H | 2/4/2010 | 4 | Adult ADHD | Tachycardia, Loss of Appetite, Adrenaline Burst, Constipation, Nausea, Sleep Deprivation, Muscle Aches, Saliva Production Greatly Reduced, Dry Eyes, Sore Throat, Sore Mouth. In my case when the effect is wearing off i get in slow like motion and get woozy. | I was diagnosed at the age of 6 and since then Adderall Generic and XR, has helped me in inexplicable ways. I've left the pill for months and semesters but I start going back to my old self, irresponsible. When I started taking it again I felt normal again, I couldn't control my thoughts instead of trying to do 100 things at the same time and failing all of them. I've taken all the pills that are for the treatment of ADHD and none of them had the same effect that Adderall XR had on me. Sometimes the side-effects are tiresome but for a user that has 15+ of use the side effects are permanent, at least a couple of them. Since I started taking Adderall again, I auto dosed myself cause I know myself better than my Psychiatrist and I'm a Certified Psychologist on my way to my PHD in Clinical Psychology. Adderall has helped me work better, be more than 500% responsible than I was before. For finishing if you're reading this ADHD is incurable, medicating yourself is the best way to go, trust me on that I've had hard times because I did not wanted to take it. The pill with years and time of use creates a self-replicating effect on your body that can help you a great deal, but once you take it for more than 1 year the side-effect tend to get a little annoying. If you want to talk about your condition, the side-effect, or anything related on ADHD or about any prescription medicine for the treatment of ADHD feel free to email me at ([email protected]) | M | 22 | 15 years 60 MG 1X day | 2/27/2014 | 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 | 1 | ADHD | Migraines, upset/nervous stomach, anxiety, permantly high heart rate, tensenes. | I have been on adderall for 13 years. I was on XR for the longest only recently switching to the regular dose because the XR kept me up all night. I take it only for school, so I'm off in the summer, I was off for about 3 years when I was working and having a baby. I started college and began using it again. It halted all digestion. I would get shaky and light headed because I wasn't eating, but if I tried it felt like my stomach and throat would close up. I did fine on the XR as a teen, I don't know if it is because of my age, the switch to regular adderall, or the length of time I've been on it, but it is horrible now. Even when I was off for 3 years my resting heart rate was around 80, despite being in the army and VERY physically active. | F | 25 | 13 years 20 2X W | 2/15/2013 | 3 | my dr prescribe it,im clueless why | calm, lack of apetite, sometimes dull, more focused, more in control. Sometimes i feel depressed and i feel like a blob. Its weird, sometimes i feel more mature, like i can handle things better. I get annoyed with people sometimes. I feel in more control of my surroundings. | I have no idea why im on adderall. i never questioned it when my doctor prescribed it. Nor did i say anything about taking it every morning since i was 6. My parents didnt tell me why i have to take it, or even the meds name. The doses were given to me by my parents in a very controlled manner. I had no access to the medicine. I found an empty bottle in the trash and did some research. I still have no idea why i take it. maybe they didnt tell me because they didnt want me to abuse it. But i noticed, if im in a hurry and i miss my daily dose, the day goes by like a blur and i end up doing something id regret when i get back to my senses. And i dont remember the next day. | F | 17 | 12 years 30mg 1X day | 4/4/2012 | 3 | ADHD | loss of appetite, fatigue, dizziness,flat personality, irritability, focus, motivation, increased sex drive, tearfulness (depression?), tic | started taking regular adderall in 2nd grade. xr later on. stopped for 2 years in high school. now im in college. i stopped taking adderall because i was very depressed, possibly bipolar. i had poor relationships, i found myself aggravated towards everyone. i was cold towards people. i would come home everyday, get through all of my homework perfectly. then cry and not really talk to anyone as it wore off. on days i missed it i was extremely hyperactive and obnoxious, i was called out in class a number of times. i developed a vocal tic. i hated myself. my grades were good. when i stopped taking it i felt so happy i had alot of friends alot of confidence, i was my old self. however it would take me hours tto write even one page of an essay, and i literally could not focus enough to read anything at all. i was extremely regretful to start taking it again but my grades are at their lowest of my life. im on the generic. its been less than a week. its not that bad. its kind of the same. although the bad stuff more and the motivation less. | F | 18 | 12 years | 12/9/2009 | 5 | add / adhd | jittery, dizzy, dont eat at all never get thirsty, very irritated very easily, mood swings, most of the time im depressed, dont like to talk, i have to do something like draw or doodle. when i take it at night just to keep from eating i stay up and cant go to sleep(only did that once and never do it again)i do my work i blink my eyes alot (i have ocd also which in my case causes that including having to do something a certain amount of times, and evrerything has to be perfect) it makes me ocd even worse. i have been taking it for more than eleven years and none of those things have went away. | it is a very good weight loss substance. it is verygood whenyou need to bring your grades up. | F | 15 | 11 years | 11/10/2008 | 4 | "ADHD" | Loss of sleep, anxiety, grinding teeth lightheaded, dizzy, very fast heart rate | I can still remember the first time that disgustingly sweet pill touched my tongue at the young age of 12. The first time I took Adderall I almost passed out from the extreme "speed" rush. I could never actually listen to what teachers were teaching in school at the beginning because I was too busy working on homework or organizing my planner. I could never sit still. After years of being on it, I am addicted. I can not wake up in the morning unless I set an alarm an hour before I need to be up and take my little orange pill. I have tried to get off the drug but the withdrawals are too much to handle while in school. Lately I have been experiencing very high levels of anxiety, nausea and diarrhea every morning. I think you need to think long and hard before you put a child on this drug. If my parents had taken other steps to fix the problem, I would not be dealing with the consequence of their mistake today. | F | 23 | 11 years | 10/22/2009 | 3 | ADD | social withdrawl/shyness/find it hard to socialize or have small talk conversations, over-emotional, ability to focus so much I don't notice anything else going on around me (literally can't hear someone talking next to me), very fast metabolism, sweat a lot at night, teeth grinding, hard to fall asleep, love organizing/cleaning when i'm on it, feel my personality becomes "dull". FOR THOSE TAKING OVER 40 MILLIGRAMS OF THIS DRUG - THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND COULD HAVE TERRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS. YOU SHOULD NOT BE ON 120 OR 200 MG PER DAY. THAT WILL SERIOUSLY ALTER YOUR BEHAVIOR AND PERSONALITY. I HAVE SEEN SOMEONE GO THROUGH THIS AND WAS PRESCRIBED 80 MG PER DAY AND GOT COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL, STARTED HAVING TO TAKE OTHER MEDS FOR DEPRESSION &SOCIAL ANXIETY, AND RUINED THEIR LIFE. THEY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. | I have been taking adderall for 11 years. I can eat more than anyone I know but always stay thin. When I skip a day or take a smaller dose (I take XR 30 mil M-Sat, 10 mg Sun) my personality comes back and I am more social and fun, but get very hungry and SO easliy distracted, forgetful, unproductive. While adderal definitely helps me with my job and did help in college, I truly forgot what it was like to be myself, bubbly, social, wanting to be with friends. I really want to get off of it, but am scared. It sounds so superficial and awful but I am scared of gaining weight (especially with my wedding coming up soon), I have always been thin and am afraid of getting big. I am scared of withdraw, scared of how I will be able to be productive at work and keep my life together without it. I wish there were more long-term studies on this drug, I have to believe that it messes up your brain chemistry or has some bad effects if you take it too long, but how do you stop? | F | 26 | 11 years | 4/24/2008 | 5 | ADHD and OCD | Depression , dry mouth and sever sweating | F | 33 | 10 years 20 mg | 1/6/2014 | 5 | I do have side effects like dry mouth etc.. And a lot listed below. Plus all the great effects that ADDERALL is suppossed to give you as well. One thing that has worked for me and has been listed in different ways is to: Exercise-Use that energy first thing in the morning ad work off extra pounds and wear down some fo the effect, also eat very well by cuttingout crappy foods, sodas, to much coffee, taper it by taking it during the week but take the weekend off. Vitamins are anatural supplement to ADHD, exercise and healthy eating. I have combined exercising, eating very healthy (vegan, vegetarin, fish, chicken and some red meats, but barely) and vitamins such as B12, DHA, Fish Oils and have had amazing reactions. i am actually using less adderall now and more vitamins. And exercise does not have to be running 5 miles, lifitng a thousand pounds. I do light cardio and jog when I feel up to it. If you want to know: push up, pull ups, crucnhes, lift a 40 pound weight, curl etc... No | M | 33 | 10 years | 1/20/2010 | 5 | ADD/ADHD | Helped me a ton with school and work. I haven't up'd my dosage in a handful of years, but I will say it can cause dependency. I'm trying to regulate to a lower dosage now and it's started to lose it's effectiveness. However if I skip a day or toe when I take it again it's very potent. | F | 27 | 10 years 20 mg RX | 6/11/2014 | 5 | ADHD | hyperfocus, horniness | helps me study | M | 25 | 10 years 20 MG 2X day | 10/15/2014 |
