| 5 | ADHD | just thirst, but besides that it was very effective! Now the drug is unavailable where I live and I am forced to take vyvanse. Vyvanse is not helping me focus or get any of my necessary daily tasks accomplished. I feel my ADHD is not under control at this point, which it had been prior to taking vyvanse. | M | 30 | 5 years 20mg 1X day | 12/10/2011 | 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 10 | 10/5/2012 | 5 | i lied to get it | I am sooo horny on it i just want to f..k myself all day its wonderful | Its just like tweaking it makes me so horny | F | 30 | 1 days 30mg | 9/2/2015 | 5 | Adult ADD | Euphoria, increased sex drive, energetic, able to complete tasks, weight loss, appetite loss, dry mouth, want to smoke ALOT. | I am a 30 year old working Mom and needed something to help me focus. This was prescribed and I am very happy with the outcome. the minor bad effects are just that. Minor!!! | F | 30 | 3 months | 1/12/2009 | 5 | hypersomnolence | I'm actually taking the 20mg xr version. I get a mild dry mouth. Somewhat increased urge to smoke. Sometimes I find myself having an ocd moment. Really for me, none of the side-effects are terrible. I get more done. Sleep less. More focused. Higher libido. Losing some weight. It's great | M | 30 | 30 days | 1/15/2009 | 5 | Attention and Focus | Wicked difficulty urinating. I sometimes stand over the toilet for 5 to ten minutes, trying to relax the ureter sphincter. I guess I might as well just sit down. After prolonged use, I found myself flaking out and losing things I would never had otherwise lost. Moderation, moderation, moderation... | Worked wonders for sex. As a transgendered MTF, sexual excitement can cause that female form to be compromised... Not with this stuff... That worthless member just shrinks right on up and hides like a flatworm under a super skinny thong. A good drug that brings out the female energy in me. | F | 30 | 6 months | 6/3/2009 | 4 | ADD/Mood disorders | Racing heart, sometimes jittery. Grind my teeth, loss of appetite. | I love this drug. My PCP prescribed it for me and out of 17 meds I have been on for numerous things, this one works. The psychologists and psychiatrists I see do not understand why I am on it. After I explain how many different meds I have tried and this is the only one that works, they dont really care. They all say for what you deal with, it only makes you worse. But I can actually accomplish things when I take it, concentrate a little better than normal and I am usually in a good mood with it. Sometimes not afraid to leave the house, deal with people or just see people where when I dont take it, I cant do any of those things. I take Xanax at night to help me sleep. I am prescribed 20/mg BID, the people on 120/mg a day blows my mind on how they can actually sleep or not stop going. Normally I dont even need 40/mg, 20/mg usually lasts for the day, if not I break one in half to finish out the day. | M | 30 | 2 years | 9/4/2008 | 4 | ADD with serious inattention | Serious dry mouth - I drink 7+ liters of water a day now. Disinterest in food. Irritability. Insomnia. | Finally diagnosed at age 30 after struggling through school, college and grad school. Tried behavior modification, self-help and therapy but nothing worked and the ADD worsened. Immediately before diagnosis I was incapable of focusing on anything for longer than 30 seconds max. I couldn't follow conversations, read things longer than NYT articles (with several breaks), listen to a song for more than 7 seconds. Probably should have been diagnosed/treated 20 years ago - every report card said "failing to live up to her potential, has trouble focusing". I'm on regular Adderall, not XR yet. Still working on the dosage. Right now I'm taking 20mg first thing in the morning, 20mg in the early afternoon and 10mg about 4 hours later. The effects seem to be strong for 5 hours before my brain become fuzzy. Adderall worked immediately and shut down the blizzard of thoughts and noise in my head that distracted me and kept me from focusing. It was really calming at first, | F | 30 | 5 days | 5/31/2008 | 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 | Adult ADD | Headache, dry mouth | Wow do I feel great. This is only my first full day of taking it but it is helping so far. I have read all the comments on here and some sound scary but most seem positive. I look forward to reporting back soon. | F | 30 | 2 days | 3/29/2006 | 4 | Adult ADHD | "Spaced-out" feeling. Dry Mouth. | This is my first day on Adderall. I was prescribed 5mg and advised to take 1-2 tabs upon waking and 1-2 tabs at noon if needed. The side effects are not bad at all thus far, but then again I do not expect much in such a short period of time. I do feel more alert then I know I normally would, and am able to focus a little bit better already in this short time. Dry mouth is very noticable, but like I tell my patients (I am a nurse), a little hard candy or water helps right away. I am optimistic and hopeful this will help me at home with my partner and at work. I will not allow myself to take more than is prescribed, and if that urge does come up, I will inform my psychiatrist right away. I think people let these urges continue too long without informing their doctors of their concerns. Just be honest with yourselves. I am always up for hearing about others peoples opinions or concerns. Feel free to contact me if you are new to taking Adderall like myself. I am curious to see i | M | 30 | 1 days | 8/8/2006 | 4 | Fibro | Sweating, hyperactivity, can't stop talking | Helped the first week with exhaustion and slight pain relief. Only taking 5mg xr in the morning. I do not have add/adhd. I tried taking 10mg when it started to lose effect but felt like I was on speed (yea, basically am...) I take 5mg in the morning along with 37.5mg effexor. Seems to help. | F | 30 | 3 weeks | 10/7/2008 | 4 | ADHD | Dry eyes, headaches, dry mouth | I've struggled my entire life with hyperactivity, depression, impulsiveness and an overall lack of focus & motivation. I've seen a therapist for 2 years and have tried almost all anti-depressants. None were working for me so my therapist decided to give adderall a try. Needless to say, a week later and I had seen incredible results. Thanks to Adderall, I am now able to hold down a job and complete tasks and my marriage is much better. What I can't stand is people who obtain prescriptions for this drug to help with studies. You people are the reason my therapist waited 2 years before putting me on this drug. So many people are abusing this medication which results in doctors not prescribing this to people who truly need it. To the girl going to grad school...I can't believe you made it that far. Your post does not reflect your intelligence; you continue to take a pill that affects your HEART? That's dumb... | F | 30 | 1 years | 10/20/2008 | 3 | Severe Anxiety that maybe ADD | Rapid Weight Loss (In the beginning, tapers off eventually); Rapid Heart Beat; Jitters (I jump when people talk to me or walk up to me); Feeling like I can't take a full breath, especially during exercise; Increased sex drive (in the beginning); Moodiness in the afternoon (when it wears off); Excessive dry mouth/bad taste in mouth; Eye twitching (very annoying); Severe Hyperfocus; Obsession; But the worst one is facial flushing. If I get excited or upset my ears and/or my face turn bright red! | When I first started taking Adderall, I felt like it was the best thing ever. I could focus, I could make my mind quiet and not worry/obssess and my mood was better. Best of all I lost weight, went from 130 to 112 (I'm 5'4") It soon started to not work as well and I had to up the dose again & again. I am now on 30mg XR once a day and I refuse to go above that. It doesn't really help much anymore, I think I may even worry more than I used to and I am more prone to have panic attacks. But I hate the way I feel when I don't take it. I feel tired and extremely moody. I worry that I have become physically & mentally addicted to this drug. I am also reluctant to stop because I have heard people have weight gain if they stop. I never had any "tests" to diagnose ADD, it was basically an "experiment" by my practicioner. Now I feel like I got hooked on something for no reason. Of course I felt better in the beginning, wouldn't anyone if they were given | F | 30 | 1.5 years | 2/21/2007 | 3 | ADD | Cons: Anxiety, rapid heart beat, foggy, eye pressure, dizziness, awkward socially, not really helping with concentration because i concentrate on all the side effects. | M | 30 | 14 days 10 4X day | 8/2/2010 | 3 | Mild Narcolepsy, Social Anxiety | Increased heart rate, dental problems, euphoria followed by dysphoria, marked tolerence, extreme lethary if dose missed, actually feel, at times, unmotivated. --Possible-- I have noticed a sudden increase in grey hair (I had none before taking this, and have read about the possibility that it can literally "speed" up gene expression, low sex drive, insomnia. | I take this for mild narcolepsy, and social anxiety associated with Asperger's. This is definately a double-edged sword drug. No question it is highly addictive, and actucally makes me feel unmotivated and sometimes malaise and lethargic when it is out of my system. There is marked tolerence (ie you will feel a need to increase your dose to maintain the initial effect) Let's remember: this drug is just a few steps down from Meth! It is Schedule II for a reason. I honestly do not know if I should have ever started. Like I said, it really is a "double-edged sword drug, and in my opinion, is over-prescribed; I know a lot of college kids who take it just to study and pull "all nighters" Anyone taking it without a solid medical condition is playing with fire... | M | 30 | 2 years 30mg 2X day | 5/21/2010 | 2 | ADD | Adderall made my mouth numb, but painful, and made my teeth and gums feel oddly achy and sometimes cold, like blood wasn't circulating to them well enough. I stopped the drug and after the numbness wore off, tried it again for just one day. The achiness and numbness began the next morning (even though I didn't take Adderall that day) and remained for the next 1.5 days. When I took Adderall for an extended period of time, the numbness and achiness grew worse, and my mouth tasted odd as well. | F | 30 | 5 months 10 2X day | 3/10/2010 | 2 | ADHD | Tics (such as stuttering, the desire to move my tongue over the roof of my mouth, clearing my throat) dry mouth, hair loss, tingling in legs, increased heart rate (over 100) and teeth/gum problems. | Remember...this is amphetamine (Adderall, of course, sounds so much better). In the beginning, you will, of course, love the medication...but in the end, it will harm your body and mind. Moreover, some studies have shown that it can 1) eventually deplete dopamine in the brain 2) can "speed" up the way genes express themselves (ie increase the aging process) | M | 30 | 1 years 30 1X day | 3/31/2011 | 1 | ADD | sweating, sleeplessness, cotton mouth, heart palpitations, extreme anxiety, depression, social withdrawal, mood swings, severe agitation, irritability, angry outbursts | If you want to be a mindless zombie for the rest of your life, take this drug. I am ADD, and I have arrived at the conclusion that I would rather be myself - loud, twitchy, unable to focus, etc. - than spend another year of my life living in an Adderall vacuum. It definitely treats ADD, but at the cost of your soul. Everything you are loved for by all of your friends will no longer matter. Just be your ADD self. | F | 30 | 2 years 30 MG 1X day | 11/1/2010 | 1 | ADD lack of energy | Severe chest pain and extreme tightness, unable to catch breath, racing pulse, heart palpitations, throbbing in head | F | 30 | 2 years 20 | 1/5/2012 |
