| 4 | ADD | Insomnia and decreased appetite. Dry mouth. Addictive. | As long as I have the drug on board I feel great, can focus, accomplish less than interesting or difficult tasks, do what needs to be done, alone and without excessive emotion. I eat less, smoke less, sleep less, cry less, and function nicely without needing antidepressants or acid reflux meds. Two days without Adderall and I'm a mess... no motivation, no desire, depressed, sick, grumpy, crying, mean, stuck to the couch... worse than ever. | F | 52 | 1 years 30 2X day | 5/18/2012 | 4 | I am seriously mega hyper. | I have been taking this drug for years. It makes me feel crazy, depressed, and in pain. But I have all A's. I usually have headaches everyday. I read the whole Harry Potter series in 5 days. I read like a madman. I love books. My parents do too, and they go through them just as fast. I guess the adderall just helps with that. I love dark things. The adderall gives me that mood, and feeling to write or compose music, or stories. I love it. I never eat. When I first started taking it, I dropped 30 pounds in one month. It makes me feel lonely. I never hang out with friends. I do not take this medicine during the summertime, because I believe it's not fair if I'm only taking it for school. I like it though, it stops me from eating WAY too much like I do on the weekends. But yeah, crazy side effects. And there are a lot, but they do not effect everyone who takes adderall. I get dry mouth, headaches, moodswings, stomach aches, I also get annoyed with everybody. But without it, I couldn't concentrate. So I do kind of rely on it. | F | 14 | 7 years 30 MG | 5/14/2012 | 3 | Narcolepsy | With Adderall IR: the different generic brands really do have different effects. Barr/Teva - very potent Sandoz - consistant but weak. Corepharma - weak and no efficacy at all. OVERALL SYMPTOMS: tongue tics, frequent urination, urinary tract discomfort, lowered DHEA-S hormone levels, insomnia | Please read comments to the left concerning generic differences; I also state my symptoms, worse of which are tics and urinary tract discomfort | M | 34 | 2 years 30MG 3X day | 5/4/2012 | 3 | ADD/Anxiety | Good: Euphoria off and on 3 hours or so great concentration Did very well on term papers Made me a better husband Bad: insomnia **** really significant, do not take lightly***** when awake for long periods; mild hallucinations (not "awesome, lights, love" ones... Walking in an emotionless dream where 12 hours can disappear and you are still sitting on a chair.... or panic attacks.... coupled with depression.... If you get in bad mood, very hard to get out. | USE THIS VERY VERY VERY CAREFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Negatives 1. Addictive- will seriously effect you long term (takes a year to get to normal) if you chase the high for 2 weeks.... addiction to this will seriously effect your emotional well-being. 2. Psychological dependency- Watch out for this too. Again, if you are high on adderall = YOU ARE DOING METH - Adderall high = amphetamine high... I wish i could say that over and over.... if you like the high, seriously, make the hard choice and stop because it is just like meth Positives Doing great in school, worked hard to get here and of used well, this stuff really helps.... ***If you actually have ADD/Anxiety= great drug Learn to love it w/o euphoria, for me, concentrating and reading about the H.R. Rules Committee procedures is just like the tingles and artificial mood elevation I used to get w/ it chasing the high. Another important thing: No caffeine, will ruin your life and relationships unless you seclude yourself | M | 23 | 2 years 10 1X AN | 5/2/2012 | 4 | ADHD | Sleeplessness if taken to late in the day | I had been perscribed on Concerta and Straterra when I was first diagnosed. Sadly neither of them worked and the doctor put me on Adderall. It has helped tremendously with my concentration levels. I am able to finish projects and stay on task better than I was before. I do notice that my body seems to have gotten adjusted to it, so I only take it now when I have a big project to complete or a stack full of work that needs to be taken care of. I do not recommend this drug to anyone who does not suffer from ADHD, just due to the possible side effects that can happen. | F | 33 | 3 years 10m 2X day | 4/28/2012 | 5 | ADD | Lack of appetite. I have a slight headache but don't know if it's the drug. | I have NEVER written a review here before but have read many for several different drugs. I just cleaned the #@%* out of my house. We're talking mopping, windows, closets, boxing stuff up for Goodwill. The whole nine yards. I can't remember the last time I have done something like this. Maybe never. I don't feel 'high', I just keep doing stuff. I rewired all my electronics and put my Tivo,Surround sound system, and PS3 INSIDE my Entertainment center as opposed to having it on top. THEN I decided to write a review. Crazy. Me likey. | M | 49 | 2 days 10 2X day | 4/27/2012 | 4 | ADHD | Headache, dec appitite, euphoria, sounds strange but chewing on inside of mouth, insomnia or trouble falling asleep if i take it later then 9am. | It has done wonders for my concentration and overall level of activity. dec in appitite, however i dont take on sat or sun and during those days i feel like i am starving no matter how much i eat | F | 26 | 3 months 30 mg XR 1X day | 4/27/2012 | 2 | ADHD | I have literally created two different people- Cari on Adderall and Cari not on Adderall. It has robbed me of my emotion, creativity and personality. Yet I have become so dependent on it to curb my appetite and help me complete mundane tasks that I can't go over a week without taking it. Listen, if you have ADHD, embrace it rather than putting this shit into your body to "cure" it. All that the adderall has done is create made me unhappy. The past four years have been terrible- I used to write beautifully... now, not so much. It is so hard for me to form any close relationships with anyone and I'm always thinking ahead and living in the future. Sure, I go to one of the best schools in the nation... but at what cost? my happiness. Don't do it. It's not worth it. | F | 19 | 4 years 45 1X day | 4/25/2012 | 3 | attention/impulsivity issues,school | dry mouth for the first 4 hours, mild-moderate increased hostility, facial numbness(partial), lack of patience for illogical people or behaviors | Focused, driven, calm...(calm except when experiencing hostile tendencies when triggered). I find that I am very logical and enjoy practical problem solving much more than before. I find that I no longer have a skill/flair for story telling. I have always been highly creative and expressive. On adderall, I simply am not the same wordsmith I used to be, my skills in logic, (law based-my job area) is heightened, but I can't string together empathy based theories. That loss of expression is especially disturbing because I always enjoyed that skill. | F | 33 | 5 months 20MG XR 1X day | 4/20/2012 | 5 | ADHD and weight loss | I have enjoyed the appetite supression and the calming effect I have gotten towards my ADHD | I understand the market and how dangerous it may be toward addicts! It almost puts me to sleep when I take it. | M | 34 | 14 days 10 mg 2X day | 4/12/2012 | 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 | 2 | ADHD | Dry mouth, jaw clenching, happiness(for 2 hours then goes away), severe anxiety, weight loss, depression, headaches, jaw pain. Adderall really works for the first 2-3 hours. Then it starts to wear off and i just crash and dont wanna do anything but sleep which doesnt work out too well in school. Since i just started it were playing with the dosages a little. I started at 10 and now im on 30. If the 30 makes no difference, my doctor recommended Concerta | F | 16 | 3 months 20 MG | 3/14/2012 | 3 | ADHD/bpd/binge eating | At first, felt very motivated, elevated mood, almost euphoric, slight headache, no appetite, difficulty sleeping, social anxiety decreased, stable moods, felt I could do anything. I started on 20 mg xr. After a few days these side effects, including the benefits, decreased and my tolerance rose. I started feeling irritable, fatigued, appetite came back. The feeling you get on adderall is 100% addictive. Even the negative ones. So then I started breakig open capsules to add a little to my dose. I began noticing I was sweating more, urinating and defecating A LOT more, slight heart rate increase, some social withdrawal, short term memory started going a bit, strange taste in mouth, insane obsessive skin picking, paying too much attention to details that don't matter, odd body odor, nightmares, insane cigarette cravings, OCD behaviors, cold feet and hands. Soon this wasn't enough and I decided to take a drug holiday. During this, I was lazy as hell, binged almost 15 thousand calories, super depressed, very tired. I've worked my tolerance up to 40 mg xr at once, and then another 20 mg a couple hours later. Lately my side effects are lack of motivation, intense heart palpitations, very high heart rate, difficulty paying attention to more than one thing at once, obsession with working out, shaking hands, always cold, jaw clenching, social anxiety, not feeling human/myself, sleeping problems, paranoia, headache, rambling speech, weight loss (15 pounds in a month), cold feeling in ch | F | 19 | 1 months 20-60mg xr | 2/22/2012 | 1 | For fun | Tongue itches like hell, scratched it till it bled, kept scratching. Sleep=no Eat=no | Do they seriously give this to kids?!?!? If this, then why not just a crack pipe? | M | 28 | 2 days 40 1X day | 2/14/2012 | 5 | ADD | Not knowing what my life would have been like without it. Being "better" and "focused" thanks to a drug. Taking the "miracle" pill every morning knowing that I would be "normal" with it. Without it, the day wouldnt stray far from re couch, unless I had to do something, like work or school. Here's a side effect, at age 11 or so, you told you have ADD, your overweight, no friends at school, life sucks. After a few trials with different kinds, adderall seemed to "fit" my needs. I lost weight, focused, and made friends, had fun. Life was awesome. Life has been awesome. But at what cost? What will I be like in 10 years? Will I have heart issues? Will my thyroid be a mess? Are my kidneys slowly rotting away? I take the prescribed amount. I'm scared to not Be on them because it's all iv ever known. I feel great, stay active, but is it me or just the pills. 10 years of stimulant use, growing up not knowing about it and what they truly were until 2 years ago.. That's my side effect. | M | 21 | 10 years 30mg | 2/3/2012 | 4 | ADD/short-term memory loss | caused me to become anorexic/bulimic for a while.. and then paranoid about my weight when I wasn't performing anorexic/bulimic actions constant anxiety worried feelings irritability mood swings anti-social behavior because of the self-consciousness [might have to do with my insecurity about my weight] muscle twitching/spasms jittery loss of energy mild insomnia | I started off taking 15mg my sophomore year and it made me INTENSELY focused, but I was also moodier than before [I was moody all the time before]. It also made me lose 30lbs by the end of my sophomore year and 5 more pounds in the beginning of the summer. By that time I had increased my dosage to 30mg. I've had anxiety issues and I'm very self-conscious about my weight and adderall sure did bring it back. It made me feel paranoid, anxious, and irritable. Now I'm 17 years old and I will eat the whole world if I do not take it and I still eat a lot even when I'm on it sometimes. However, even if I just take 20mg in the morning, I end up crying myself to sleep and cutting myself. I hate the way I feel and how anxious, worried, and depressed I am when I'm on it, but I have to take it because of my horrible memory. | F | 17 | 1.5 years now 20MG 1X day | 2/1/2012 | 3 | ADHD and ADD | Itchy Scalp, increased heart rate, shortness of breath, decreased fine motor controls, anxiety, depression, loss of energy, abnormal thirst, loss of appetite, weight loss, lower physical performance, drowsyness, profuse sweating, stomach cramps(occasional), Entestinal discomfort, gas problems(could be the food i eat in conjunction with the adderall), inability to think creatively(I geuss that's what it is for though), irritable mood. Dependency, stunted my growth, joint discomfort. Makes my hands feel clammy and my toes sweaty | I have been taking Adderall(or generics of adderall) since the 2nd or 3rd grade. I started out on 10mg but increased every 6 months i think. With it I feel tired, I don't feel normal. I Feel depressed, anxious, I'm easily aggravated. I also have no appetite until it wears off, which means I only eat dinner, which leads to weight loss. The wight loss is somewhat large, I'm 13 years old and im barely over 90 pounds. On days that I forget to take it i have migranes. I only take it on weekdays(monday-friday), if i take it on weekends I'm not able to do many things that entertain me and the slightest thing sets me off and I freak out. I can feel when its wearing off. When i take it little noises like clicks or buzzes will become my concentration. I am a graphic designer in my free time and when i take it i get the artists version of writers block. I get bad gas too, but that may also be the food i eat. I can't go into deep thought about something when i take it... | M | 13 | 4 years 25mg XR 1X day | 1/30/2012 | 4 | ADHD | Insomnia, more motivation, happiness, positive energy yet contentment at the same time, better focus, tight breathing, decreased appetite and sugar craving (as well as a constant obsession with food), consistent elevated mood. | I have only been taking this for four days, and will probably be upping my dose soon (still find it somewhat hard to fully stay on one task- but overall do have more motivation and am actually enthusiastic about sitting in university lectures (which is a big surprise!) I also used to have a problem with binging but this has thankfully helped soooo much! My one question for people is- today I had my dosage, then went to the gym and seriously felt like my heart was jumping out of my chest. I felt a lot of pain and was worried I was going to have a hard attack. Is this normal?? Also, will this and my chronic thirst go away? Will I gain my appetite back? (Hoping not to) | F | 21 | 4 days 10 1X day | 1/28/2012 | 4 | Doc prescribed for weight loss | Dry mouth, increased relaxation, weight loss, loss of appetite. | My internist prescribed for me as an *offlabel* weight loss drug. Ive struggled with my weight for years, and due to severe anxiety, could never stick to a diet. Enter adderall- I admit the first month I was skeptical..I was eating less but not really losing weight. Then my internist added Wellbutrin (150mg day)..well, the weight starting coming off. In the last 6-7 weeks Ive dropped about 13 pounds. Its hard to explain- the adderall (generic) like blocks the thoughts in your mind to eat out of stress..so for me, that means I no longer binge eat. Im not snacking at night, and I can eat small meals throughout the day and just not worry about food like I used to. Hence, Im losing weight. I have about 30 more pounds to lose, but I now can see reaching my goal clearly. Its true you cant take caffeine with Adderall, or youre likely to have heart palpiations. But I have more energy, can focus better at work (I come up with all new ways to analyze my reports, Im able to stick to my diet, and overall feel GOOD. I dont really see how people say its addicting...I mean if I couldnt have it anymore, it would just be harder to focus. Good luck to all. | F | 30 | 2 months 10mg 2X day | 1/26/2012 | 4 | ADHD | Sweating, rapid heartbeat, weight loss, cold hands & feet. | F | 18 | 2 years 20 MG | 1/21/2012 |
