| 5 | ADHD | increased attention, motivation, focus and drive | love this medication! Truly heaven sent for true ADHDers!!! Although stupid people are abusing this drug & giving it a terrible name- it truly has worked wonders for me i'n school, my job & i'n my relationships- it helps my mood elevates my motivation & helps me to stay focused. User warning tho- you must be truly disciplined with this med- such as if you choose to take a med holiday- found this to be extremely helpful i'n controlling dependency and/or tolerance- but other than that it is truly wonderful! | F | 27 | 3 years 40mg 2X day | 10/24/2011 | 5 | ADHD | I have always been a hyper child..Starting into 7th grade, my parents n teachers were noticing a negative change in my behavior.I was very defiant, never wanted to do school work, mood swings, difficulty concentrating, etc..We thought it was just "a girl in her teens" but as yrs went by, the behavior continued! It went all thru HS until the end of 11th grade..I got kicked out :( i proceeded to live my life the way i wanted, which was being free and living without responsibilty! I wasn't realizing how my lack of focus and drive was gonna affect the next 10 years of my life! I went on to having millions of jobs, was depressed,extreme anxiety attacks, never was content, or just finish what i started.I truly was a messed up individual! I just wanted to be normal.I envied people that went to work from 9-5 and went to college. I tried college but dropped classes the first semester. 10 years later at the age of 26 my boyfriend basically said he was an outsider looking in and said I | F | 27 | 1 months 20mg 1X day | 3/14/2010 | 5 | Adult ADHD | Dry mouth, "crashing" at the end of the day, loss of appetite, ability to lose track of time when working on something. | Started this medication after being diagnosed with adult ADHD at age 27. At first, I felt a little wired from the medication, but after a few days my body adjusted. The work I used to despise and put off (both professionally and at home) is now a lot easier to tackle. I have patience and an attention span much greater than before and can deal with boring tasks. I blurt things out without thinking much less than I used to. I've also lost about 15 pounds because I'm not so fixated on food when I'm bored, and my skin has cleared up, probably because I no longer touch or pick at my face like I used to when I had a zit here or there. People have actually commented on my appearance and how I look different and better, which is something I've always had issues with. I feel more confident with this medication, it gives me the boost I really wanted, and makes me focus on things at work that I generally hated before. The only issue I really have is that I seem to "crash" at the | F | 27 | 6 weeks | 3/19/2007 | 5 | ADD | Loss of Apetite / Excess Energy and I seem to crash when I come off of it | This drug has been a wonder drug I do better at work I can talk to people and I can focus long enough to watch televesion. I highly recomend this drug to anyone with ADD! My freinds joke and say I should quit my job and become and Adderall Rep! I can't say enough good about it. It has completely changed my life | M | 27 | 3 months | 11/17/2008 | 5 | adult add, sleep disorder | unable to get to sleep for at least 12 hours after taking a dose; if i take it for more than about 5 days in a row, i start to get anxious/twitchy and have more trouble sleeping. | works wonderfully to help me get out of bed and moving, helps my concentration, and helps to ease my depression if i take it more than 3 days a week. i take it 2-5 mornings a week. | F | 27 | 3 years | 1/22/2008 | 5 | ADHD (SELF) | Initial insomnia that resolved itself, only happens now when pills are taken or for other reasons (not related to the meds). Loss of appetite & weight loss. Dry mouth during first week. Being more talkative at times (I already talk a lot but I was told it was worse sometimes about 30min-1hr after I take a dose). | I personally love the medicine. It's helped my AD/HD symptoms a great deal. The weight loss side effects are not a problem for me as I am overweight and need to lose a bit. It's not a cure all by any means. It does help me focus, though sometimes it's not on the best topic. My school, home and work has improved. My husband even commented that I had gotten better and he's a "suck it up and deal with it" type of person. | F | 27 | 3 months | 2/22/2009 | 5 | ADD | Sometimes would come down in the afternoon, I work 10+ hour days at times and would have to take it 3x per day to keep myself functional at work. Also, I have recently started being concerned about the levels of anxiety I've been experiencing, especially when I am overtired. | Other than the occasional anxiety, this is the absolute best solution for me and works like a dream. I have a very detail-oriented job, and it's imperative for me to be able to retain a large amount of information while focusing on a large volume of work and still be detailed about each of them as they come along. | F | 27 | 5 years | 6/12/2008 | 5 | chronic fatigue from LAM | Decreased sexual libido, dry mouth, too much attention to detail, tolerance decreases effectiveness, occassional facial tic | Adderall is the reason I was able to return to work after two lung surgeries. LAM, the lung disease that I have, makes me increasingly tired and depressed. When I am a lump on the couch, Adderall picks me up and allows me to work 90 hour weeks during tax season. The drug helps me perform at work except when when I get VERY wrapped up in the details of my projects and blow the budgets. I believe I would have had to quit my job for medical reasons at 25 years old if not for Adderall. I will admit, after 2 years, its difficult to continue to get the benefits on the same dose. | F | 27 | 2 years | 6/3/2008 | 5 | add | I have used this drug ALOT , i have experianced ALL the side effects people have listed. The ONLY time i got them was when i abused the drug or the off chance the doctor put the dosage too high. If your up all night your taking it to late or taking too much. This is a miricle drug. if used properly. but ill admit to doing quite a few drugs recreationally, pot coke xtc ciggerettes booze to name the worst, Adderall is by far the most addictive substance i have ever known if you abuse it. not only is it physically addictive when u bridge that first full night and have to pop another to get threw life,,, you have concentration problems to begin with, AND once u do catch up on sleep (finally pass out of exaustion) its hard to morrally justify taking them as a bad thing considering the Razor like concentration. i think the bad reactions are due to large dosage time release pills,,, where they should use pills designed for 2 hours so worst case its a 2 hour withdrawl to get threw b4 the cra | This drug will change your life for the better , Dont ever abuse it or take Large dosses to begin with. Its identical to cocaine , in effect, and actually more addictive because it last so long its nearly impossible to stop abusing untill the bottle is empty, and then to get the helpfull effects of the drug will require dose ammounts that will damage liver, heart, permanent insomnia , mild to moderate paranoia / dillusons. if your kid is on ritilin , get him on this, its less addictive. and the time release ones will kill you if u snort them (most common abuse of them) make sure they know this b4 u give them them though. This is truely a miracle drug. But it will kill you if you abuse it and cant stop. reoccuring theme is peoples friends interviening to stop their abuse of this drug. watch your loved ones on it. | M | 27 | 3 years | 7/8/2008 | 5 | Adult ADD | Loss of Appetite, Zen-like state | I don't want to imply that Adderall is a panacea that will cure everything that is wrong with you but...so far it has definitely helped with everything that is wrong with me. Top to bottom: 1. I can concentrate at work, no surfing the net, time seems to go slower and I'm much much more productive. 2. Calm, being on Adderall really focuses my mind and I become much more calm, almost zen-like (which honestly is very cool). 3. Social Anxiety is gone. 4. So is my borderline body dismorphia disorder. 5. As is my dermatillomania/skin picking disorder, but only when I'm on it. I want to note that I'm on a very low dose, 7.5 in the morning and then 5 mg two more times during the day. My "crashes" have been so mild I'm hesitant to call them that, just simply reverting to the lethargy/lack of motivation that was my mental state at all times before the adderall. | F | 27 | 10 days | 5/20/2009 | 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 (hyperactive-impulsive type) | Appetite reduction, evening fatigue, dry mouth | A few reviewers have stated that nobody should ever take Adderall. I'd like to offer a counterpoint: specifically, that it really depends on your individual biochemistry. My best friend also has ADHD (his symptoms skew much more towards the "inattentive" subset), and the way he feels *with* Adderall is very like the way I feel *without* it. For me, Adderall is a godsend. I am now able to sit down and focus long enough to get things done (coursework, the dreaded reconciling-of-the-checking-account, bill-paying, etc.). I am less impulsive and less hyperkinetic. I can easily make plans and execute them. Returning to a task after an interruption takes much, much less time. These are huge, huge things for me. There *are* side-effects: my appetite is definitely reduced. I manage this by eating before, between, and after my doses. I feel quite fatigued by bedtime. For me, this is a plus -- I have had serious insomnia for my entire life; the fatigue allows me to sleep. I had dry mouth and constipation for a few days, but those resolved quickly. If your doc prescribes Adderall, don't let the bad reviews scare you off without a trial. Remember that people are more likely to report bad experiences than good ones. There are plenty of us out there for whom Adderall makes the difference between barely functioning (if that) and brilliantly succeeding. | M | 27 | 21 days 10mg 2X day | 3/20/2015 | 5 | Level 3 DSM- ADD and ADHD | -long and short term memory improvement -Massive Increase in focus -Massive decrease in fidgeting and impulsivity -Massive decrease in constant running thought process. (Brain chatter) -Increase in organization -Diet, sex drive, and mood unchanged | At a young age I knew I acted differently than the average kid. My extreme case on ADD and ADHD enabled majority of people I met, treat me less of a human. Impulsive actions without thinking 30s into the future, Unable to sit still for more than 15mins, Unable to focus at all, Forgetfulness, Couldn't stay on a single task for vary long. The list goes on. I never understood why I acted out irrationally, or why no matter how hard I tried or got punished I was still doing everything I described above and more. My teachers HATED me and would treat me like an animal, and for a growing child thagcan cause other issues in their life. Up until college I decided to get Adderall prescribed and my whole world turned right side up. The way I describe it is insane what Adderall did for me. I understand not everyone has the same experience with this medication, however for me it was a miracle! I can focus for extended periods of time. I dont fidget anymore when I'm sitting. I dont act on my impulses as much as I used to. My schooling comes noticeably more naturally. Even when I take a week or more brake from the medication, I still own those normal human quality's that I learned from being on Adderall. My diet hasn't changed, sex drive still the same, mood unaffected nothing has changed besides my mental cognition and my ability to function like a normal person. Adderall isnt for everyone, but with my bad case it's the perfect medication. | M | 27 | 2 years 10MG 1X day | 4/15/2021 | 4 | prescribed | Everything everyone else said has been experienced. some frequently, some not as frequently, depending on my body condition. | Ive been prescribed since 6th grade. Didn't think too much about it back then but all through high school, this "adderall" prescribed to me attracted alot of attention in high school as well as college. This was because people were using it for its SIDE EFFECTS. ladies were using it as a weight loss program while guys would use it cause it helped them drink more. some even used it to study overnight for one night of the weekend and party for the rest of the weekend( a way to cram-study when you don't need to).. these kind of use give adderal a dangerous reputation when it's not even that dangerous. i was exposed to it in 6th grade and my parents regulated all my prescribed medicine (from prescribed cold medicine to these adderall for safety) and my parents and i had to learn all about adderall. so i learned the right way to take it, when to take it and when not to take it.. my intentions were never for the dumb reasons why a teen may want it for.. so all i'm saying is that, if you abuse any drugs (prescribed medicine or over-the-counter medicine),it could cause problems. and that is what people are doing with adderall, taking it for the side effects and becoming addicts. so for those that are thinking about getting prescribed to help with what adderalls are made to do, get it and take it.. BUT don't abuse it, because if you do you will develop dependency on these and sooner or later you will be an addict.. just like any other medication.. I stop taking it after i gr | M | 27 | 3 years | 11/30/2009 | 4 | adult ADHD, anxiety, depression | on 20mg generic- BAD- insomnia took 10mg @ 6pm so I am stuffed for sleep tonight, headache, some confusion on the first day when the drug kicked in (DON'T DRIVE ON THE FIRST DOSE!) felt like my body was slowing down but also wanted to keep going, maybe that's the jitters? I have tense muscles in my shoulders and have a tension headache which is not helping with the sleep sitch. GOOD-no racing thoughts today, was able to listen to long conversation without broken concentration, anxiety is gone, I have better contol of my emotions....a bit early to say anything difinative. | YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY! DID MY TAXES!!!!!!YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! I have been so worked up and anxious about not doing them that it was becoming a huge problem. Took the adderall this morning and not only did I do my taxes I didn't anxious once....now if only I could get some sleep to celebrate.....YAAAAAAAYYYY! this is huge. | F | 27 | 1 days | 9/26/2009 | 4 | Adult ADD | Loss of appetite, Insomnia, anxiety, paranoia, laxative properties, increased heart rate, mild euphoria, antisocial (want to be alone), introverted, increased nervous tics (eye twitches, jaw adjusting, etc), mild depression, tension in shoulders and neck, dry mouth, cravings for more of it | This drug helps me sit down and do otherwise boring homework. I am interested and completely commited to whatever I am doing. There are a lot of side effects...mostly the twitching thing (which can be emabarassing), so I only take it when I absolutely have to. Also increased OCD (check things more than normal). I feel like a crazy person. I am an addict so it's a constant struggle to stay on top of my motives for taking it. Great for cleaning the house! | F | 27 | 3 months | 12/15/2008 | 4 | Adult ADD | Intense cravings to smoke, appetite slightly decreased, mind-boggling increase in sex drive | I am almost 30 years old and just came to learn that I have ADD. I told my psychiatrist about the troubles I had in school (lack of motivation, inability to pay attention and focus on work). She decided I take a test for ADD and I scored off the charts. Now I am on 10 mg of Adderall daily and have never felt so focused, involved, energetic, etc. My appetite is only slightly decreased and I can easily eat if I am really hungry. The only side effect I'm unsure of is the intense cravings to smoke and have sex--I don't like smoking more than 3/4 pack a day and I can't have sex with my wife whenever I want to. Sex on Adderall is pretty terrific, but it's rather inconvenient being horny all the time. | M | 27 | 7 days | 1/4/2009 | 4 | Adult ADD/Concentration | I have had a mild headache and absolutely no problem sleeping. I believe the headachs are from the loss of appeatite and not eating. | I have only a few days under my belt. At first I felt like I was going to experience some anti-social issues, but realized I was just nervous about taking it. I didn't want anyone to know. Work has been productive, I hope it will help me with school this spring. So far so good. | F | 27 | 3 days | 2/18/2008 | 4 | adhd depression | lack of appetite, moodiness, irritability,memory loss, anxiety | I tried many other meds for adult adhd and found this one to be the most mild with the least side effects. My skin breaks out into fluid filled sores kind of and because of the anxiety I am always scratching at them. Also I notice I forget more things and don't feel as hungry. | F | 27 | 3 years | 4/13/2004 | 4 | ADHD | Dry mouth, increased urination, increased sex drive and sexual desire. | I started adderall at 10mg twice a day and within a year, I was taking 20mg three times daily. Before adderall I was on riddlin and I have tried adderall XR from time to time as well. For me personally, adderall makes a world of diffrence when it comes to my day-to-day ability to work up to my potential and get tasks completed. Sometimes it works a bit too well as I get so focused on a task I let other things slide. Also, I tend to sleep better at night and feel better during the day overall. | M | 27 | 5 years 20 3X day | 6/7/2010 |
