| 1 | Add | A feeling of being on top of the world that you can do any thing smarter than everyone else jittery and high strung and obese I've thought that reapeao and can't stop lack of sleep | She I stop obsessive thinking stops but feel depressed no energy or motivation or ability to function on simplest things. Need to take it to function and have the high like being on top of the world and high self esteem and are driven a over-focus and if I dont have it am anxious to get more and obsessed for more. | F | 57 | 5 years 40mg | 5/29/2017 | 5 | Depression | impatient | I felt great on 40mg a day. I felt so good my therapist wanted to put me in the hospital and took me off the drug. Now I feel terrible again and don't know what to do. I should have been on a lesser dose. I should have skipped one day a week to keep me grounded. It is addictive too. Was hard going off it. Fluoxetine and wellbutrin are helping me very little. I think Adderall is a wonder drug. | M | 58 | 3 years | 2/4/2008 | 5 | supplement my antidepressant | You can get hypomanic on this drug, so you have to use some discipline. | This is a fine drug. Four mixed salts of amphetamine can't be all bad! (Just kidding.) Seriously, it focuses your mind, elevates your sex drive, improves your mood, helps you concentrate on long drives, and you can break dance - quite well - on your first try. Getting an Rx for this difficult if you're not a bona fide ADHD (which I'm not). My shrink is not intimidated by the potential for criticism if he thinks something is helping me, so I lucked out. Love the stuff. | M | 58 | 12 months | 3/24/2006 | 4 | Adult ADD | Thirst, grinding teeth | It is really true that you can't withdraw from, or become addicted to, Adderall if you really have ADD. You shouldn't be having a lot of euphoria and shouldn't be taking it to get a buzz. If you have ADD, it helps you concentrate and focus. I'm not sure if it pushes you to bipolar d/o or not. But when I first took it, I had a huge decrease in anxiety and felt calm for the first time in many years. Now I take it only when I feel I have to concentrate. I don't take it on the weekends at all. It's a great drug when it's used for it's true purpose. | F | 58 | 4 years | 9/27/2007 | 4 | ADHD and Depression | Teeth Clenching is very uncomfortable. Better social interaction. I am now able to concentrate and make order of my daily activities where before I was skattered. I have to be careful when entering difficult discussions due to this drug causing me to be agitated and slightly angry. With care I can control this aspect of the drug. | Weekend and Days Off breaks from this drug help control my need to up the dose. The XR dose works well for me. | M | 58 | 1.5 years | 2/19/2006 | 3 | Adult ADD | Insomnia, irritability, muscle tension, teeth grinding, increased pulse rate and blood pressure. Periodically hyper and euphoric. | Certainly helps be a better employee and member of the overworked class but at the cost of introspection and genuine emotion. | F | 59 | 2 days | 9/3/2007 | 3 | Depression, fatigue | Exactly one hour after taking a 10 mg. tablet, I would feel energized. But the effect lasted for only an hour. My doctor increased dosage from 30 mg. to 40 mg., and I occasionally cheated, taking it as high as 60 mg. In other words, tolerance is a problem along with possible addiction. Also, I've had chronic stomach pain only since taking this drug. | I switched to Ritalin but its effect seems to be identical with Adderall. At least with Adderall, you can easily break a tablet into two, making it easier to taper off. | M | 59 | 6 years | 1/4/2006 | 5 | ADHD | A good drug for me. My doctor first tried Wellbutrin on me. I told him I felt much better about still being incompetent. He switched me to Straterra -- almost useless, eventually suicidal thinking. Now using 20 XR plus 5 immediate-release at end of day. For me, this is wonderful. I am self-employed. On Adderall, I get 4 or 5 hours of high-quality productivity every day. With coffee breaks, socializing, etc., this is more than most professionals get. Notice I said "high quality" productivity . . . I would like longer duration but am grateful for what I get. | Reading the comments in this website, I note quite a difference between "geezers" using Adderall and others using the same drug. Self-awareness is critical to using Adderall responsibly. Best advice is to 1) combine Adderall with as much exercise (even stretching) as possible and to 2) take a day or two off now and then. Exercise seems to abet the drug's effectiveness during the day and taking occasional days off helps to dilute over-tolerance. | M | 60 | 2 years | 12/1/2009 | 4 | to offset other bipolar meds | None worthy of mentioning | I've been diagnosed with ADD and Bipolar I. I currently am on 4 other meds. Adderall has helped my focus which is great because i can write again and i love to write. It has stopped my 4 hour 'naps' but i still sleep well unless i take it late in the day. My doctor dropped Lithium from my combo recently and I had to drop my dose from 60 mg to twenty. I was buzzing like a chainsaw. I like it. | M | 60 | 8 months 20 MG 3X day | 6/28/2014 | 4 | adult add | Extreme dry mouth, teeth grinding,tiredness | I had been taking 20 mg of Adderall xl per day but it did not help much . so my Dr. moved me up to 25 mg per day. I really do not feel any more energy from taking adderall, I can concentrate somewhat better but still making silly mistakes in my work, I was hoping that it would improve with adderall xl . I lost about 5 pounds in the beginning but have gained it back, my appetite is slightly curbed but I over eat at night when the adderall is wearing off, I find that I am exhausted at night and can't wait to get to sleep. ... I can concentrate on my work better, and can withstand boring tasks, I can sit still for longer periods of time at my desk. The bad part is that I get very short tempered when the medication starts to wear off. Overall adderall is not too bad but I was hoping for better results | F | 60 | 6 months | 4/16/2007 | 1 | Supposed ADD | Became very agitated, negative, angry. Took sleeping pills to sleep. Adderall to get up, Ambien to sleep. My anger got so out of hand my wife left and filed for divorce. Now I'm reducing my dose and trying to get off this stuff. I work constantly, employer loves me. I'm losing everything but my job and now that I'm coming off this stuff, I may lose that, too. Be careful taking this stuff. | M | 60 | 8 days 40 mg 1X day | 8/19/2012 | 1 | Adult ADHD | Loss of focus, classic meth addict behavior | Doctor prescribed two Adderall 20mg, three times a day (120mg per day total)for my wife. Results include radical personality changes, wieght loss, increased sexual desire, loss of memory, hyperactivity and so on. Doctor knew of past meth addiction but prescribed this drug, at large dosage anyway. | M | 60 | 6 days | 8/22/2008 | 5 | ADHD | Dry Mouth, Weight Loss, Jaw Clinching | I was diagnosed late in life (age 55). The doctor I was seeing insisted I was suffering from depression, and put me on every anti-depressant available over a four year period. Finally, I went to a psychiatrist, and after a few visits, put me on Adderall. It was like someone flipped a light switch on in my head. The fogginess was gone, my legacy of procrastination came to an end, and as a bonus, I dropped some of the useless extra weight picked up during my boredom binges. My dosage is higher than most because the testing also indicated a history of moderate narcolepsy (would sometimes fall asleep at my desk for 20 minutes, and not realize I had been asleep until I looked at the clock). I highly recommend the product. One strange thing, though. I am starting to gain weight again (almost half of what I lost), and was wondering if that has happened to anyone else. | M | 61 | 6 years 40 2X day | 6/27/2011 | 1 | To make the Pharmaceuticals richer? | Once you start taking any psychotropic drug, you are hooked, and with Adderall 10, 20...whatever..addiction becomes a REAL issue because Adderall is plain old street speed. The reason your doctor prescribes these meds is because HE/SHE makes $$$ and the Big pharma's make LOTS of $$$. They're premise is: if we keep people sick, they will continue to take our dangerous, addictive drugs, and we will make LOTS of $$$. Psyche docs make LOTS of $$$ by telling people you have this disorder or that disorder and lets put you on this. Do your own research people! | Adderall is possibly THE most dangerously addictive drug on the market. Antidepressants are a close second. Let me re-iterate: MONEY, MONEY, MONEY for the Pharmaceuticals. let me tell you folks this is BIG BUSINESS and the Psyche docs will continue to make up *disorders* just as fast as Big Pharma can produce more lethal drugs. Again.......DO YOUR RESEARCH on the FDA & Pharmaceuticals. Can you say: COLLUSION???? | F | 61 | 3 years | 6/24/2009 | 1 | Adhd | Ineffective in managing ADHD | F | 61 | 30 days 30 1X day | 1/30/2021 | 4 | adult ADD | The drug worked for me but took away my sex drive. It was chemicaly castrating me and I will not voluntarly give up my sex life just to consentrate better. | M | 62 | 3 months | 10/22/2005 | 4 | ADD | Dry mouth | I have been taking this for 3 years for adult ADD it really helps me concentrate and get motivated. I do not get any "rush" from this drug, as a matter of fact I can take a nap while on it. My appetite is less while taking adderall but this is fine since I am overweight. I asked the Doctor if I could try a higher dose but because of my age and that I was doing well he wanted to leave it alone. I did go off it for about 3 months only because I was too lazy to get back to the Doctor for a prescription ( must get a new prescription each time) No problem going off it, no side effects. I have had no problem with this drug | F | 63 | 3 years 20 mg 1X day | 12/11/2010 | 1 | ADD | Almost instantly developed horrible dry mouth! | M | 63 | 4 days | 12/9/2008 | 3 | Adhd | When it wears off I crash and become very tired at work. When I don't take or miss a pill my head fills heavy & cloudy. Just want to lay around not answer phone etc. For me it is like life feels like you don't have a purpose. It really scares me, but when I don't take before work I can't focus or get organized. I feel stupid, some times I can't speak my thoughts right. I'm am a manager over 8, afraid not to take it. | F | 64 | 1 days 10 X2 | 4/23/2017 | 3 | Adhd | When it wears off I crash and become very tired at work.
