 2  Narcolepsy/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome weight loss, lack of appetite, rapid heart-rate, failing vision, bruxism and resulting tooth fracture, gum recession, personality changes, seasonal depression, anti-social behavior, bipolar & borderline personality disorder tendencies, hair loss, decreased libido, insomnia, poor short term memory, headache, hyper-focusing on unnecessary tasks, dry mouth, increased thirst, rapid decline in BMR (basil metabolic rate), cold hands and feet, abnormally low body temperature, overall detachment from the natural 'cadence' or rhythm of life. I went from being a A+ college student with a full ride scholarship to flunking out of my major. I lost every last one of my friends, my 3 roommates, & my boyfriend left me because I refused to leave the house. I lost 30lbs in 3 months, gained 45lbs back 5 months later, & now no matter what I do I can’t lose weight. I fell into a deep depression & could barely recognize myself – I couldn’t eat, sleep, I stopped talking to everyone around me, I became obsessed with miniscule tasks, & I completely lost sight of my education. People who were once close to me say that I’ve changed and the sad part is that all this happened while I was taking my prescribed dose. I started gaining weight even though I was barely eating. I had my BMR tested during an overnight sleep study & it turned out to 608 calories! My Dr. said that your body is like a balance or scale; when you start taking medication you start to tip the scale. After a while, your body will start to fight back in an attempt to tip the scale back in the other direction. The harder you resist, the harder your body will fight back in order to return to its previous state. When I first started taking Adderall I lost 30 lbs fast because I lost my appetite & had increased energy. So, my body slowed down my metabolism & stopped supplying me with energy to prevent me from losing anymore weight. My Dr. told me that the bright side was that people with slow metabolisms live longer &am F 24 5 years

 5  ADHD/ADD and depression If you truly suffer from your disorder, this medication works wonders. Addictive or not, it does its job and has improved the quality of my life entirely. I had to give it at least 3 months to get rid off side effects such as trouble sleeping, additional anxiety, elevated blood pressure and overall feeling weird. I did loose my appetite and have not been able to regain it ever since i started taking it and lost tremendous amount of weight which was very beneficial since I had to shed baby fat after having my third child. It will only cause harm to the ones who was possibly misdiagnosed and need reevaluation. I stay focused, sometimes over-focused, at work, able to finish al tasks at home, it calms me down and helps with social anxiety by boosting up my confidence. However, I can see how this could be an unpleasant experience for certain individuals, but still worth giving time to get used to it. F 30 1 years

 1  Focus in school WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TAKING!!!!!!! Im 23 and a college student. I have always had trouble focusing in class. There were for test in most of my classes, first two (without adderall) got a 78% and 46%. Second two test with adderall I got a 95% and 90%. Helped me focus while on it so much. Gave me extreme energy, extremely productive. Usually lasted about 5 hours or so per pill. While on adderall everything was perfect. I thought it was a miracle pill. What was bad is after those 5 hours. I would go crazy and almost rip out my brain. I became Bi-Polar, moody, crazy depressed, cried all the time. I ruined friendships, my relationship. I had no idea it was even the adderall doing it to me. I just thought I was going through stuff. My sis, my best friends, my parents all told me I was acting funny. Later on my best friend called my sister and then my sister called my parents because they were so worried about me. I dumped it in the trash. Wont ever take again. Messed w M 23 4 months

 2  ADHD Inattentive I thought the Adderall 10 acted to fast and hard to spread out the medication through out the day. (3 times a day). Highs and lows not regulated enough. I'm now on Adderall XR 25 mg. what I would do instead complain about the effectiveness of your perscription is to talk to your Psychiatrist and explain your reactions. Every body is different. If he or she doesn't Help you, find another. Took me 6 months to find the right dosage and med. Focalin, Concerta, Ritalin. Each has a extended release. More controlled for me. M 68 2 years

 4  Need to improve focus Extremely tired in the evening. No appetite. I had been having a problem with focusing on the job prior to adderall. If it wasnt directly effecting me, I would find myself zoned out. I would find myself not able to finish a book or project with ease. I would miss important details. I mean I can go on and on. With adderall, its helping me stay focus. Sometimes too focused. I dont eat like I used too. However I havent lost any wt either. F 34 40 days

 1  Migraines Weight loss, obsessive compulsive tendencies, inability to maintain personal relationships, loss of appetite, sleeping only 4 hours every other day. This medication almost ruined my life. Adderall was amazing, for the first 6 months. My migraines went away, I started working out, lost 30lbs, became very productive at work and home - it was a miracle. However the longer I took it the more I wanted and sought and the worse my life got. I started sleeping only every other night, I became so obsessed with all the things I "needed" to get done that I stopped hanging out with friends or family because I didn't have time for them. I would obsessive over certain things, like cleaning or organizing my house, but then other things I wouldn't do at all, like pay bills because, in my crazy-obsessive mind, they weren't as important as having a clean floor. Adderall changed my entire personality, I began seeking more and more of the medication because I needed more energy for all the things I "needed" to get done. I became a liar and cheater, lost touch with friends and alienated family, most especially my husband. If my doctor hadn't finally realized that I was also getting Adderall from another doctor and they both refused to give it to me anymore I think I would have lost my husband, my family, my house - my whole life. Coming off Adderall sent me into a massive depression but 4 years later I am so thankful to be off of it. I still miss the extra energy and despise the 30lbs I've gained back but realize that the 2 years I took Adderall were the worst 2 years of my life. Adderall was the worst thing that ever happened to me. Please be very careful with F 34 2 years

 3  ADD Took it for the first time today and was waiting for the rush and the euphoria that I've read about and that the dr warned me about. Nothing. I was wide awake but that's really all I felt. Even took a nap about 5 hours after taking it. Will continue on with it and see what happens. F 44

 5  adhd I have been on this for 10 years and I will tell you this. If you have these feelings your dose was too high. Any good doctor will start you on a low doseage (about 10mg) and then slowly bump you up depending on your response to a question sheet. This is something that is slow and about once every 30 days. The other reason for those feelings is that you are taking the instant release. Those are horrid. The xr (extended release) is what is usually given by a docs now. It is taken once. It goes all day and gradually leaves your system so you do not get a crash. If you have bad feelings on a dose smaller than 20mg you should,d know within a month. That means it is not for you or you can try a non stimulant. If your doctor is not doing these things before prescribing this, and your first dose is more than 20mg, get a new doc. Side note..take at least 10hours before you go to sleep. If still bad, you are either not adhd or you just cant do stimulants. Also, ADHD should be diagnosed by a It took me a year to get up to 60mg(which is really the limit.),and I know most people won't ever got to 60mg but my case is a little different because I have an unusually aggressive adhd (yes that exists).the average dose is from 20-30mg. I love this drug but I do agree that this is not for everyone. I also have been taking anti anxiety meds for about 11 years so that helps too:-) good luck guys and dont worry there are about 6 other drugs that can help you with this that dont feel like adder all. However, that being said , NEVER TAKE RITALIN. THAT IS MADE BY DEMONS AND APPROVED BY SATAN. :-) (and that is coming from someone on 60mg of addys lol. I took 20mg of ritalin and i almost ripped my brain out and cried for 3 hours . F 28 10 years

 1  ADHD I am going crazy. I dont sleep, and if i do i am thrown into terriable horrifying nightmares that i only wake up from by screaming myself awake. I hate being around people, i have shut everyone out of my life because im afraid of how they will affect my plans and my future. Always observant, but this causes aniexty. I dont eat, ever. Maybe one time a week. They say it will take me a year to get back to normal, but i cant even remember what normal for me is. Plz stay away from this drug, it only brings depression, hullisionations, thoughts of sucicide and anger. M 20 1 days

 1  Supposed "ADHD" Where do I start? Cottonmouth, Teeth grinding, MAJOR anxiety, Depression, moodswings, irritability, loss of appetite, stomach aches, insomnia, tooth/jaw pain (due to teeth grinding/jaw clenching) memory loss, tremors/shivers/twitching, the list goes on... There are a few good things about it, though. I do concentrate much better, and I get a lot done. If I can keep myself occupied all day, the side effects aren't nearly as bad. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone... I've been taking it since I was 14 when a close relative committed suicide. I was diagnosed with ADD before I even saw the doctor. (Seriously, Parents... Psychiatrists will diagnose your child with anything.) As much as this drug helped me at first, it has caused more harm than good. It is infact the cause of me writing this review at 4 in the morning. I have the WORST memory now (reason to believe it was also caused by an anti-anxiety medication called Clonozapam) I dropped out of school, and I didn't get my license until I was 19. Anxiety and Depression was a HUGE deal for me. Adderall just made it worse. Although I still take Adderall, I recommend you go with a different drug. Unless of course you can't afford a different one. Like me. M 21 6 years

 5  ADHD (Without hyper activity) Little appetite but comes back in 2-4 hours. Increased sex drive. I first started Vyvanse and it gave me an unbelievable amount of attention but it destroyed my appetite for nearly the whole day. I lost about 20 pounds within 1-2 months while on it. I then tried Concerta but it did absolutely nothing for me. Adderall, for me at least, is the perfect medication, and a great balance between attention and appetite. M 18 3 years
