| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ADDERALL 10 | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 4 | ADD/ADHD | increased smoking, daytime sweats (almost feels like flu), dry mouth, lack of appetite, slight nausea | Taking Adderall 10 twice a day, morning and afternoon. Definitely more focused. Cleaned the house and wouldn't stop until it was done. Still a bit foggy at work (maybe it's just adjusting to the med still). Currently have insulin resistant diabetes. Not sure how the decreased appetite will mess with my sugar levels. Tried mediation with caffeine and it seemed to increase the nausea and dry mouth a bit. | M | 40 | 3 days | 2/16/2009 | 3 | ADD PI | ED, trouble urinating, irritability, short term memory loss. Sexual urges, desire to try drugs and risky behaviors. | M | 40 | 3 years 30MG | 5/14/2016 | 3 | ADHD | Hair falls out!! Tense at night, rebound effect in the evening. Clenching jaw at the end of the day. Worse at higher dose. Hair didn't fall out w/regular Adderall 15mg. | Worked, felt focused and calm. Lost weight. Wish it didn't make my hair fall out and cause anxiety! Had to stop taking, will go back to immediate release, lower dose, but that doesn't work as well. | F | 40 | 2 months 30mg 1X day | 9/9/2010 | 2 | Idiopathic hypersonamalence | I have only been taking this medication for 5 days. I feel as if someone just finished sneaking up behind me and scared me. That bounding heart rate, fullness in the ears and slight shakey feeling. It also unsetteles my stomach and makes me crave salty foods. I cannot believe that what I just described would lead any one to an addiction. I have also noticed that my eyes feel dry and I often feel cold. The pharmacist that I talked to thought after a few days the bad feelings would go away, I hope she is right. I have to take 40mg in divided doses to stay awake during the day. It seems to have helped with my pain from osteoarthritis. | If this med causes me to loose weight I may just have to suffer with the other side effect for a while | F | 40 | 5 days | 9/21/2005 | 1 | add | other than the normal side effects of loss of weight from no desire to eat, jitters aggitation and anxiety, the last and final straw of quitting was urinary retention to a point were I almost had to have a catheter. At 40 years old! The funniest part was, my family doctor, a urologist and my physcologist wanted me to go on flomax(another medication to treat non-cancerous prostate inflamation) to reverse the urinary retention that was making me feel excessivly ill. I'm all set with adderall. email me if you have the same problems, I'll let you know if it works. GOD, I hope so!!! | M | 40 | 5 months 30mg 1X day | 5/18/2010 | 1 | Adult ADHD | Ironically, due to my being over 18, my health insurance plan will not pay for my Adderall prescription w/o a medical necessity form, which they will not provide to me. Since I have to now pay out of pocket, I've been getting my generic at Walmart instead of Walgreens. Walmart uses Barr generic and Walgreens uses Shire. Ever since I started using the Barr generic, I've had hives breaking out in my scalp and now on my neck and back. I thought I had a staph infection since I work at a hospital, but it suddenly dawned on me that I am taking a different generic. This morning my hives/rash was better. I took my generic adderall and what do you know...this afternoon I started itching again. I am so angry about this! I don't know what to do?? | F | 40 | 2 years 10 MG 2X day | 3/9/2010 | 4 | Taking it for concentration at work | Everything was wonderful for 10 months. I had a very intense boot camp 9 weeks and 17 hrs a day and that is when I started Adderall. I lost 20 pounds and felt awesome not to mention it got me through the class! Then in Jan 2006 my blood pressure went from 110/70 to 203/110. I spent 10 days in the hospital. They took me off the Addarall and thought that was the problem. I have still had issues the past few months. I want so bad to go back on but deathly afraid I'll have a stroke or something. All of a sudden I went from 125 to 148~ gained 25+ lbs in just 10 days. I have had so many tests etc but no answers. I have never had a weight problem. Could this be a side effect from stopping Adderall? Has anyone exerienced anything similar? | Please let me know if anyone on Adderall experienced blood pressure issues and/or severe, rapid weight gain! This really helped me and I'm so tempted to go back on. | F | 41 | 10 months | 8/31/2006 | 4 | sleepy + lack of focus & energy | Irritable, edgy, very slight appetite suppression, | Took this to combat extreme daytime sleepiness--originally thought due to SSRI. Can sleep up to 18 hours a day! Focus always was an issue for me. Now, my biggest concern is sleepiness and EXTREME lack of motivation. I used to be VERY energetic. Add' sometimes makes me feel like SuperMom as I can get SO much done during the day. Without it, I'm useless. I take only 10mg, 5 days/week. Any more makes me uncomfortably hyped & agitated WITHOUT added focus, yet with 10mg I find if I want, and can usually take a nap within a few hours after taking it. I once took 20mg and lost a job over it because I was so visibly nervous, twitchy, and my mouth was EXTREMELY dry so I was licking my lips a lot. I probably appeared to be on meth! And, if anything, it interfered with any focus I might have had because I was too conscious of my nervous appearance! I hated the way I felt on 20mg. I haven't noticed tolerance build up at all. I have NO problems getting to sleep at night and don't experience | F | 41 | 3 years | 6/12/2007 | 4 | ADD | Headache, dry mouth, loss of appetite, irritable, somber mood | Love the increased energy, love the loss of appetite, I wake up eat a healthy breakfast, and take 10mg. Around five I have soup and salad and I am good for the rest of the day, I sometimes get hungry later before bed, but I wait until morning to eat. I have been accomplishing things I have put off for a while. | F | 41 | 5 days | 1/28/2009 | 4 | ADD | Teeth grinding/major anxiety/bad crashes coming off the drug | I have not taken Adderrall for over two years and I still grind my teeth and clamp my jaw. The doctor told me this happens very rarely but it happens. Wish I would have known that before I took it. Had to get a mouth gard and take muscle relaxers now to help with it. The drug did, however, help me immensely. I just need my teeth. | F | 41 | 6 months | 10/18/2009 | 3 | ADHD | muscle tension, joint aches. | I took this in combination with cymbalta to counteract the fatigue effects of the latter. This worked fabulously. I was awake and focused, with no more short term memory loss. I also did not suffer any crashes like I did with ritalin. The downside came with an increase in muscle tension and joint aches. My extremities constantly felt like I was fighting rubber bands to move them, and I had very uncomfortable pain in my joints. I tried to stick it out to see if I acclimated, but after three weeks, it was a no go. | M | 41 | 3 weeks | 8/30/2009 | 1 | adult add | Hyper, felt good in beginning of day. Changed personality didn't want to be with friends. Rash on scalp dry little bumps. Went away after I stopped drug. Definitly kids should not be on it! | F | 41 | 300 days | 11/1/2007 | 1 | ADHD | anxiety and distress. I am usually a happy-go-lucky person and was put on this med for ADHD. Within a few weeks I noticed by midday I was distressed, almost in tears. I didn't link it to the drug until a few days later I forgot my AM dose and for the first time in a while I felt happy as usual. I told my doctor about this and he told me to go back on it and see if I experienced the distress again. I did try one more dose and felt the anxiety coming on again. For me, it was very bad. | F | 41 | 3 weeks | 8/1/2004 | 1 | Addhd | I'm now on non time released and after I take I get extrely sleepy | F | 41 | 1 weeks 60 | 4/28/2013 | 1 | ADD w/severe anxiety | Complete loss of appetite & then gag-reflux even looking/smelling food. I had to force myself to eat, because I became so weak after 3 days. Then after getting my food intake up each day, I still felt truly depressed. I had no memory, no concentration, no desire to speak, began sleeping 12+ hours a day and was even drowsy when awake and had significant body pain. Yes, it was Adderall (the little orange one; the $215 non-generic brand!). A BIG out of pocket ouch!!!! | Call me crazy, but my body truly did NOT react the way 95% of everyone has reported (and how I had hoped it would be for me). I was NOT clear-headed or able to concentrate and I quickly couldn't accomplish anything I needed to do & had been doing (let alone all the things I dreamed of if I could just get focused). On Adderall, I lost my sense of humor & care for everything I had previously enjoyed. I felt like a "zombie". Even after forcing myself to eat, I still had little energy or the physical strength to do everyday jobs. Yes, I was calm and my overwhelming anxiety was so much less, but I was not in touch with much outside my totally muted head. I kept reducing my dosage (all the way down to 5 mg) in hopes I could still get some calming benefit (and keep that reduced appetite side effect so I could lose a few #'s). Even with a mere 5mg dose, my breathing is truly restricted and I am so achy and TIRED! Clearly this drug works wonders for lots of people, but for me.... a real trip to the dark side. Please note: I NEVER once felt "up" or had the reported other commonly mentioned side effects of dry mouth, heart racing, head pounding, upset stomach or aggressiveness. NONE! | F | 41 | 7 days 20 MG 2X day | 2/15/2010 | 5 | ADHD | Jitters mainly in the morning | More focused, calmer mentally | M | 42 | 8 weeks | 9/22/2006 | 5 | Attention Defiect Disorder | headache | F | 42 | 3 months | 3/24/2002 | 5 | Adult ADD | Inevitable Addiction. | In real medical literature, 70% of bipolar people have ADD. So once a bipolar diagnosis is made, ADD is considered strongly as a co-disorder. More women than men, disproportionate left-handed people, and other things. The Adderall will remove ADD from your life for about six months. Then you have a tolerance to it, and find ways to get MORE. You take more to get the same feeling, you become a junkie. It's not a matter of "if" you will become a junkie taking Adderall, it's a matter of how long it takes to become one. | M | 42 | 9 months | 1/12/2008 | 5 | depression, sleepiness, adult add | The first few days there was some euphoria and a bit of dry mouth. Also, insomnia b/c I took it too late in the day (after noon). First two doses I did notice extreme fatigue late in evening, but not after that. Yes, you will notice a decrease in your appetite, but as an adult you will be able to work with that and get your meals in. | I am 42 y/o and have tried at least ten or more meds for depression over the past decade. I finally asked for Adderall from my treating physician after I read it helped for those with treatment resistant depression (was taking Lexapro/wellbutrin). I just started taking 20mg once a day along with 10mg of Lexapro and I feel much, much more consistent in my mood -- as other's have said, increased focus, consistent energy (before I would nap up to three times a day--even after 9 hours of sleep) and loads of patience. My mind is much more calm & peaceful. So far I have been able to take it for a few days at a time, skip a day or more without consequence -- I notice that when I'm taking it I feel much more centered, productive, motivated, clear and consistent. I also don't feel overwhelmed by simple tasks and I can sit at my desk and work without getting completely distracted and unmotivated. I don't notice a "craving" for Adderall, or a distinct "crash" at the e | F | 42 | 3 weeks | 12/25/2008 | 5 | ADHD | none | excellent,more focused, read faster, more alert | F | 42 | 9 years | 6/15/2008 |
