| 4 | ADHD (primarly inattentive type) | not enough sleep, some muscle tightness(including chest pains), more aggressive, weight loss | i'm taking 30mg XR, it's really changed my life, i was very depressed and sluggish before being medicated and now i feel a lot more like my "old" self which has been very good. (i was first diagnosed when i was 9, did ritalin 10mg for until 10 and stopped medicating) i've also lost about 20 pounds since october so it's good for that as well. my grades have improved and i just feel better. i don't like the less sleep i'm getting and also the periods of time when i have chest pain (but i do have anxiety so it heightened that effect) but overall i feel it has been effective. | F | 20 | 2 months | 12/10/2008 | 4 | ADD | Only been on it a few days, appetite loss, some headaches in the beginning, but they are gone now.Increased sex drive, but when im off the pill i crave caffeine and cigarettes like no other-and Im not a smoker. | I take two 10s a day, and WOW. All these years I thought I was slow, and managed to get B's. A week on this and holy crap. I love to do my homework,study and I keep up with my lectures. I used to zone out and have trouble listening to people speak, and now its like Im actually hearing them. Great results, Im thrilled. | F | 20 | 1 weeks | 10/31/2008 | 4 | ADHD | Makes me very agitated during the day, little things make me mad. I have to make sure it wears off before I want to sleep or I'll be up until daybreak easy. But also makes my anxiety decrease greatly And focus a lot easier, also you aren't lazy anymore! | M | 20 | 2 months 25 xr | 11/14/2012 | 4 | Tiredness. ADD | Dry mouth, cant stop doing stuff like working which isnt a bad thing. a little anxiety. GENERIC IS NOT THE SAME AND CAUSED ME TO HAVE A ALLERGIC REACTION | I started this med and it does help me. i can do more and concentrate great and it gives me energy to some point. ive been prescribed XR as well but i like the IR better. i have to get the brand name which is expensive but it does do its job. i have alot of depression and anxiety problems and it helped my depression somewhat but makes me a little jittery but it take xanax and inderal with it so it works out. | M | 20 | 2 months 10 2X day | 11/29/2011 | 4 | ADD/ADHD | lack of appetite, some anxiety, insomnia, some muscle tension from tightening up without realizing it,social issues | I've been diagnosed with ADD and ADHD since I was in the 2nd grade. This is my fourth day on the drug in about 3 years. I used to take it all the time when I was 16 but stopped because of the weight loss (I weighed about 105 pounds my junior year..dropped to 95) and the social problems it gave me. I used to be very irritated by everyone and anti-social. HOWEVER, I was also taking a 40mg dose and being very thin as it was and susceptible to the side effects, it is no wonder why everything was so difficult for me. Now I am 20 years old, in college, and struggling with my ADD more than ever before. I decided to give the drug another go but now with a lower dose. I weigh more than I did in high school and with the smaller dose I don't seem to be getting any of the harsh side effects(So far). I have been very focused without the social anxiety and feel MUCH better on it. Overall, I'm happy with my decision to go back on the drug but please take caution when using Adderall. 1.) Take it in the MORNING, otherwise you'll have insomnia. 2.) Do NOT over-exceed your dosage. If you're around 120lbs and taking a 60MG dose..consider getting a lower dose, please. 3.) Also, do NOT take it unless you are doing something that requires your focus. My doctor told me to take it like you would take Tylenol for a headache. If you don't have a headache, don't take tylenol..if you aren't doing any focus needing activities..don't take adderall. With the right precautions you CAN be safe using this | F | 20 | 4 days 20MG 1X day | 10/25/2011 | 3 | help with mania/add | It takes about an hour to 'kick in'. Then I get highly motivated to educate myself. It helps me a lot with completing my assignments and staying focused especially in paper writing. The 'coming down' absolutely sucks though. Feel incredibly agitated and almost lethal. Sometimes I feel this overwhelming need to clean. It's weird. | TAKE CHELATED MAGNESIUM WITH YOUR ADDERALL. psychiatrists won't tell you this but this is they key to not feeling like shit when it starts to wear off. SOLGAR has a great chelated magnesium supplement that has done wonders to help me when i come down. i usually take 2 with an adderall and one after it has worn off. | F | 20 | 2 years 10 mg 1X AN | 3/22/2011 | 3 | Mind racing, no attention what so | Whem it first kicks in, dizziness, feeling like relaxing on the couch, this is prob weird but I feel drousy in a weird way...feel quiet...unless I say somthing I start to ramble. Feel the need to be alone. | F | 20 | 4 weeks 20mg | 1/6/2012 | 3 | ADD | Tired (Late afternoon) Personality change, Moody, Loss of appitite, Trouble sleeping at night | I don't seem to want to go out with my friend anymore and they have all notices.I also have a restless mind at night so it's hard to sleep.I get really tired late afternoon. I have also had problems with my contacts they seem to start bothering me late afternoon as well and i've had them for about 4 years, and that just began after the medication.However I am doing much better in school grade have jumped a lot.And i don't have to study nearly as long as I used to.But I have gotten sick 6 times since I have startedthe medication to the point when I would miss classes. And ive only been on it for 5 months. Should I stay on it or not? Please email me with any advice | F | 20 | 5 months | 3/6/2006 | 3 | ADD | loss of appetite, you feel like your stomach is empty and you need food but you're just not hungry. dry mouth, and no desire to drink anything. almost feel drunk when you first take it. kinda dizzy, but really helps you focus, and be productive | M | 20 | | 11/3/2008 | 3 | Adult A.D.D | loss of appetite,dry mouth,insomnia,bad crash after about 7 hours,fidgety,rapid heartbeat,more productive,if taken for months regularly I start to feel less like myself,lower sex drive. | I have better luck with Adderall 20MG non-extended release than I do with Adderall XR 10MG, which is what I am prescribed. The XR wears off before the day is over, which leaves you with an awful crash to deal with. (Obviously, if you'd like to sleep regularly you shouldn't take another...so crashing off this particular dosage is almost inevitable.) They say you should drink caffeine towards the end of the day to try to ward off the symptoms of coming down off this drug. | F | 20 | 1 years | 6/30/2007 | 3 | ADD | Dry Mouth, Loss of Appetite, Diffuculty sleeping. | Works great for a little while, then leaves you feeling like you need more. | M | 20 | 6 months | 10/22/2004 | 3 | ADD | really mean when it starts wearing off, no appetite | Adderall has helped me so much in school. The only problem is that you really have to force yourself to eat. When I first started taking the medication I didn't force myself to eat, and my metabolism when way down. When I finally took a break with the medicine I would eat EVERYTHING. I ended up gaining more weight than I started with. Also I would be extremely mean when it would start wearing off at around 5 in the afternoon. The medication works, there are just some side effects that come with it. Now I do not take adderall every day, but I still do whenever I need it. | F | 20 | 3 years | 10/21/2008 | 3 | ADD/OCD | Muscle twitches in head and neck, super sensitivity, insomnia (eyelids won't close), shit out my brains, alertness, happiness, focus, on comedown : binge eating, depression, crave for cigarettes | Started taking 50 mg Adderall XR a year and a half ago. All was well until about 3 or 4 months ago. It began with extreme cravings for cigarettes on the comedown and in addition I stopped sleeping. I have had insomnia in the past and did not attribute it, at first, to the adderall becuase it had not affected me in such a manner previously. Becuase adderall also makes me super sensitive to noises (it's a psychological), any noise I would hear when I would try to sleep would become extremely bothersome and I thus began wearing ear plugs to bed. I thought I could hear things through the ear plugs so I invested in over the head ear protection (in addition to the ear plugs) for maximum sound dapening. This was not the worst of the problem. I began to believe that it was impossible for me to sleep more than 3 hours and I one night remember feeling like I could not keep my eyelids closed. THey just would not stay shut. Thus I began, in addition to wearing both earplugs and ear protection, tap | F | 20 | | 12/20/2008 | 3 | ADHD inattentive | Blunted emotions when I take it (don't laugh as much), Hard to eat but remember to else you'll crash hard and doesn't work as much, increases addictive behavior such as smoking and a bit OCD when I take it. | It's helps when you use it for studying,productivity, etc. but it's easy to loose sight of what you started taking it for in the first place. In highschool I didn't use it as prescribed and grades actually went down. Helps to take it while your studying not before and if you have problems with self control let someone you trust hold it for you. There's gonna be a day where you WILL take 1 or 2 more than your supposed to think nothing of it, eventually over time you'll find yourself running out of your prescription within a week and regretting it. | M | 20 | 4 years 30 1xday | 11/3/2014 | 3 | For concentration and fatigue. | Anxiety, Shortness of breath, OCD, Rapid heart rate, Dry Mouth, Decrease in appetite, Headaches, Extreme concentration, Overly excited feeling, Mild depression, Restlessness, Chills, Increased positivity | I have mixed feelings about Adderall. I got prescribed 20 mg twice a day for concentration and fatigue. I take one every morning before work (around 6:30) and one late in the morning or afternoon (10-12). This medicine works great for me during the day. It puts me in a great mood, makes me very social, and makes me want to keep busy and work hard. I'm typically easily annoyed, unmotivated, and always very tired with no energy which makes it very difficult to do daily tasks. I would always feel like my head was in a cloud, I was in a daze and could not pay attention to anything or anyone. Adderall completely reverses all of those negative qualities and makes my life much easier. However, that "up" feeling eventually goes away and I do experience a lot of side effects. During the day I usually get dry mouth, extreme decrease in appetite (went 3 days without eating at one point and didn't even realize it), and sometimes chills. I usually start feeling the crash part of this medication around 6 PM. I basically start becoming the same unmotivated person I was before I took it, but also start experiencing shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat due to anxiety, restlessness, pounding headaches and a little depression. I've tried lowering my dose and only taking one a day, or one and a half, but all that does is make the "up" wear off faster and causes me to crash earlier. I kept trying to tell myself that the positive effects outweigh the bad ones, because it rea | F | 20 | 3 weeks 20 mg (x2) | 6/3/2015 | 3 | ADHD | dramatic appetite and subsequent weight loss / sleeplessness / intense thirst / agitation | It's tricky, because Adderall has done some wonders for me, but not without it's heavy price. Most significantly: I am much, much more antisocial when I take Adderall. I used to be a hard partier, going out four nights a week. Now I go out once a month. I've lost touch with many friends. I get irritable or uncomfortable around people. I get very paranoid. I have a hellish sleep schedule. I was always lean, but I've lost about 20 lbs. I have to force myself to eat. And I crave liquids, especially sweet things like soda and energy drinks. I've become reckless. And it's addictive as all get out. There are many days I find myself taking twice my dose. If I run out early, I count down the days to my refill, finding myself incapacitated otherwise. But - I'm a junior at a prestigious college and I have straight As. My teachers rave about my work ethic and my dedication. It's boosted my sex drive significantly, as has my confidence. I juggle a full school schedule with several internships, side projects, a boyfriend, etc. My focus is often streamlined and my the work produced is high caliber. Ultimately - it's a double sided sword. Has it helped me? Enormously. Am I a different person than when I started taking it? Unquestionably, almost unrecognizably transformed. So seriously weight the consequences before you start. Because no matter how strong you think you are, the drug will suck you in. Some days, it's beyond worth it. Some days i'm in hell. | M | 20 | 1 years 20MG 2X day | 3/22/2014 | 2 | ADD/ School focus | Major hunger loss, weight loss, euphoria, increased sex drive, higher energy levels, increased thinking capacity, increase focus/motivation, gradual decrease in social skills, gradual decrease in self-cofidence, addiction/ cravings, penile shrinkage, decrease of interest in sex over time, and major STUNTED GROWTH | At first I HATED adderall, but my mom forced 40 mg a day down my throat starting in 8th grade for my "ADD" and by the middle of 9th grade I absolutely LOVED it; it made me feel upbeat, content, and just overall euphoric. I was prescribed 30mg in the morning and 10mg in the afternoon all the way through the end of my senior year. But it never helped me with school, it was only a "high" to enjoy. My appetite was so suppressed that I never ate breakfast or lunch, and came home after school still not hungry and ate a crappy dinner, and this pattern went on for the entire 5 years. I was 5 foot 8 when I hit puberty in 8th grade and due to the wonderful Adderall, my body didnt grow a single centimeter after I hit puberty because of malnutrition, and I didn't have any idea any of this was happening at the time! So I graduated high school in the same 5 foot 8 skeletal boy body that I was in pre-puberty. And when I say my whole body didnt grow during puberty, I literally m | M | 20 | 5 years | 12/18/2008 | 2 | ADD | anxiety, panic attacks, abnormal heartbeat, palpitations, appetite loss, personality change, insomnia, dry mouth, muscle fatigue, twitching | I would not recommend this drug unless you severly need it. I stopped taking it recently and regret ever have taking it as an adolescent. | F | 20 | 4 years | 12/28/2006 | 2 | ADD | Extreme Loss of appetite, Loss of sexual desire. low iron count. Loss of weight. Irritability and depression when it wears off. | Well my doctor prescribed me with 20mg in the morning and 20mg in the afternoon.(Non-Time release). At first i felt great i could focus at work and do three times as much work now. However just recently i have completely lost my appetite. I was 180 before taking the drug and now im 165. I am always tired and i feel like crap everyday. Im very irritable and cant focus on a damn thing. i wake up in the middle of the night sweating my ass off and can sleep at all afterwards. I have been getting extreme cold chills throughout my entire body and my iron count is low. because of not eating. It works at first and you build up a tolerance fast. My suggestion(im not a doctor!) but even though it feels like you have developed a tolerance it is still working. Jacking up your dosage is not healthy. | M | 20 | 2 years | 5/31/2007 | 2 | sever a.d.d | harsh lack of appetite (though i learned how to "remind" myself to eat), increased heart rate, shakiness after an hour or so, but MOST noteably:: about between 4 to 6 hours after initially taking the drug i would become SEVERELY depressed. i would think things that i would NEVER think under normal circumstances (like dropping out of college, or thinking that i will never amount to anything in life). sever irritability in the begining (i am a naturally VERY easy going person). paranoia. dry mouth. basically this drug turned me into a different person. i lost my sense of humor and everything about myself that i loved. | this pill was wonderful and TERRIBLE. it did make me want to work, and accomplish things that i wouldnt when i was not taking the pill, but the "crash" when it was wearing off was the most unbearable feeling i've ever expierienced. i would feel such overwhelming depresssion and urge to break into tears constantly. my boyfriend would ask what was wrong and even though deep down i desparately wanted to tell him that it was the aderall, i never could because though i was bursting with infomation, i never wanted to talk to anyone after the "crash". this drug immensely harmed my relationship, i hated it. | F | 20 | 7 months | 1/25/2007 |
