 5  ADD Dry mouth and Loss of appetite. Dose: 40 mg (not sure if it is right or not but sounds right) "normal" Adderall 5th - 10th grade. 30mg Adderall XR Nov. 2 - Presnt I just started taking Adderall again. I had taken it when i was younger from around 5th grade - 8th grade and had also taken Ritalin for ADD my 4th grade year but switched to Adderall because i started getting head aches at the end of the day after the Ritalin wore off. Anyway after my grades started to drop this semester i started noticing that i was having trouble focusing in class and could not get my homework done on time and if i did it was always done "half-assed". I decided to try adderall again (the reason i got off of it in 8th grade was because i thought i didn't need it anymore not because of side effects) and so far it was worked wonders. I am able to pay attention in class and i actually do my homework now and i don't "half-ass" it anymore. After reading a majority of the comments and list of side affects peopl M 21 1 months

 5  to get my life in order ocd, addiction, moody, bad taste, dry mouth, small appetite, insomnia adderall is the best thing man has created. i dont mind the side effects in comparison to the benefits of the drug. it helps me be more motivated and focused. i multitask now and am more creative. i write poetry and am constantly thinking of new ways to improve my life through organization though sometimes obsessive. i have used it recreationally for a long period of time and had a good time until my prescription ran out. now i take it as prescribed and suceed one day at a time. there is a substantial change in the way i think when on this med. it is definatly a more rational way to think and through all the bullshit i deal with in my life(id rather not get into it)i somehow continue to strive to increase my quality of life and always try to optimize the situation. adderall is a miracle and i would give it to everyone if i could. i honestly think everyone can benefit from the experiences on adderall. ive done a lot of researching and a lot of experimenting with high doses for days till the point of confusion, psycosis, paranoia, and hallucinations of psychedelic nature. and still i say this drug has wonderful theraputic properties. try them today ask your doctor about a trial. its your life and you can take control but watch addiction it will be there waiting. 40 mgs per day reguardless of when i take them gets me through any day.

 5  Desperation Emptiness, Depression, Hopelessness, pounding heart, agoraphobia, stuttering, shakiness, change in personality, anxiety, paranoia, destruction of relationships, sweating, feeling like I am going to die, skin sores, loss of libido, painful crippling out of control addiction It's so good it hurts. I could just take it and never sleep again. I have dreams that I'm swimming in it. I've stolen it from friends and relatives, causing major destruction. When they catch you it is humiliating, but you go back for more and more. It doesn't even do anything anymore, it's just that I have worn out my body so much that I physically and mentally cannot function without it. I can take rediculously high dosages and still feel less motivated and energetic than the average person. I cry all the time. Please don't do this to yourself. It is so amazing at first and then it just aches. I was a real girl, and now I feel like any coke or meth addict does- exhausted. You lose interest in beautiful things. Love doesn't matter. Just Adderall. I take it and then think real hard about nothing. I always feel like there are things crawling on me. When I can't get it I binge on sugar and sleep for days. Any weight you lose at the beginning comes back for you at the addicion phase. I do F 21 2 years

 5  ADD headache, excessive sweating/clamminess, severe insomnia, increased heart beat, jitters, breathing troubles (feeling of pressure on chest), jaw tightness (from clenching teeth at night), occasionally feeling adderall is helpful but there are a few problems. biggest = insomnia (even if medicine taken in morning). also, tendency to want to take more than prescribed (higher dose). headache, but that was mostly only when i initially began taking it. another problem = weight loss (loss of appetite). bad if you have eating disorders (which i did)...allows anorexic tendencies to return/increase.

 5  College Intense focus on otherwise boring subjects which allows great grades in classes that were never my forte. Adderal, within the first 45 minutes of taking it causes intense awakeness and focus. The first few hours of mine, adderal 20 mg. immediate release causes intense awareness, focus and jittery feeling being extremely social/unsocial depending on activity at hand, Dry mouth and intense thirst with constant bathroom trips from this, It supresses appettite which is my least favorite part of the medicine besides the awful hour or two of come downs (until you eat and let your brain relax) I am now struggling to keep weight on, dropping from 123 to 118 and being 5'6, does not look natural/healthy. The restlessness fades a bit after the medicine has been in your system for awhile, 2 weeks for me, but still as something simple as a coke later at night with my evening dose for homework can make you stay up much longer and make you fill out ratings of the medicine at 5 a.m :) Adderall and I have a love/hate relationship. I am not as fun or spontaneous as I normally am when I am on the medicine but my grades have consistentally been raised atleast 1 to 2 letter grades by the implication of the medicine. Trying to maintain a healthy weight and sleep cycle has been my only problem with the drug. Also, in response to some other ratings in regards to fast heart beats, I've had my heart rate taken at the Dr's office while I've been on it and my results were perfect, even when it felt like my heart was beating at the speed of light.

 4  ADHD insomnia I find that as long as I forbear from drinking caffine The medication's highs and lows are not an issue.all that caffine did was augment the adderall to the point of becoming a recreation. it should really be avoided in my opinion. otherwise the medication workes great for the treatment of ADHD, improving all symptoms of the disease M 21 2 months

 4  Depression, ADD Increased Irritability; Decreased Appetite (lost 15 lbs. in 3 mos.); Insomnia; Increase in OCD tendencies; The decrease in appetite is nice for weight loss, but this effect doesn't last long. Increase in energy, concentration, and motivation are awesome, but when it interferes with sleep it sucks. Sometimes I become fixated on things that are unimportant, and this keeps from getting important things done. For the most part, I love the drug, but I'm afraid to try taking a break from it because I might discover that I'm addicted to it. The high probability for dependency scares me a lot. I wouldn't recommend it if you have an addictive personality. F 21 11 months

 4  ADD Loss of Appetite, Dry Mouth, Increased Labido (Need to Orgasm when On Medication), Helps Concentrate on One Thing, Not jumping from one thing to the next, Hypersensibility, Emotional. Research has shown that Adderall causes Mood swings. Adderall causes individuals to become slight Bi-Polar, and this has occured to me. Doctor put me on Hypo-Manic medication as well called Zyprexa, and my body is not responding well to it, so I'm not taking it but still taking Adderall. College student I rather get good grades then control my mood right now. M 21 1 years

 4  Bipolar, ADHD Dry mouth, loss of appetite, As opposed to being on ritalin, this drug does work if you are ACTUALLY ADHD, and not using it for substance abuse. I would recommend this for ADHD but not ADD. If you are truly, and I mean TRULY ADHD or ADD, you will NOT get a speedy feeling. There is no rush. You're just calm and more focused. If you're receiving a speedy euphoria, this is not the drug for you. F 21 2 months

 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

 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

 4  ADD/ not ADHD Dry Mouth, Total loss of appetite, joints seems to snap every time I move, crunching of teeth. I was able to study for 12 hours two days in a row, which I could not do before.

 4  School Angina, ancy, restless, insomnia ( DO NOT TAKE AFTER 6PM!), NO APPETITE, dehydrated, muscle spasms, slightly addictive, depending on dosage, excessive urinating. It definitely helped me concentrate on my school work, especially around finals. I could sit and read 8 chapters w/o a problem. Being in medical school is a big committment, and i didnt wanna mess it up. I have really bad ADHD, so this really helped me buckle down and study. M 21 3 months

 4  ADHD/depression elevated mood, very talkative, irritated eyes, skin issues (not sure if it's just the Adderall doing it), chronic depression when wearing off, compulsive over eating issues gone, blurry vision, dry mouth, teeth grinding It is GREAT when you're on it, when it wears off it's hell. On Adderall I experience an elevated mood..partially because ADD/depression makes my mood low. Also because it is a side effect of it. On it I feel positive, focused, talkative and pleasant. When it's wearing off I feel chronically depressed. I can totally understand why this drug is prone for abuse. I've experienced some skin problems a few months after I started taking it. I believe it's due to the Adderall. It's somewhat minor and I'm working on fixing it. Overall I love/hate Adderall. It's help in so many ways, but it has done some bad in other ways. I don't like crying every night because of my depressive crash. & I'm already on 60 mg a day and I feel tolerance building..already after 8 months. F 21 8 months

 4  ADHD Increased sex drive; constantly craving nicotine; mildly unpleasant "wear-off" There's a reason why we all like it! And I need it...lots of pressure from non-ADD classmates to lend...but 30 mg does the trick...lasts about as long as XR and not as bad come down M 21 1 years

 4  ADHD Dry mouth, facial flushing, absolutely no appetite, weight loss and feeling that my throat is closing, chest tightness, feeling like I can’t catch my breath and social withdrawal. Toward the end of the day after taking it I notice vision changes (it’s hard to look at my phone/computer.) I am taking 20 mg XR once daily! Overall it has helped me tremendously with my nursing school exams, and focusing at the clinical site. I feel that I need to talk to my doctor about the feeling of my throat closing/tightening because it makes it hard to catch my breath. F 21 2 months

Itchy scalp, teeth grinding,g o from up and happy to down (tired) in 2 seconds! I have felt better not taking this stuff then taking it. It is not worth the few hours you get of being focused!

 3  ADHD (inattentive), depression Good: motivation, focus, and energy up. Depression way down. Occasional euphoria. Bad: anxiety up, sweats, major weight loss/appetite down, occasional mania-like feelings, throbbing pulse, extreme headache and migraines, dry mouth, increased urinary urgency, blurred vision, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, increased irritability, bad crash, mood swings (irritability, anger). Personally, good and bad side FXs of this medicine cancel each other out. My depression and lethargy decreased more with this rx than any other I've been prescribed over the last 3 years (20mg XR, usually don't take on the weekends). I found there are a lot of good things Adderall does that nothing else could, plus it doesn't leave me addicted or craving it. However, if you are young and/or underweight, think twice about this medicine. There's major unintentional weight loss (also, made my periods irregular) that's making me consider stopping the med, even with its good benefits...if you are taking this medicine to lose weight, you're just as bad as people that use cocaine/other stims. for weight loss. For the last 1-2 months, it has been causing major side FXs, most notably: dry mouth, blurry vision, lower frustration tolerance, bad crash. Sad/depressed feelings have decreased, but anxiety has increased. If other treatments or meds don't work, Adderall could be a godsend. If you have F 21 4 months
