| 3 | Schizophrenia | Horrible allergic reaction. I got a rash that was extremely itchy all over my body. | It worked okay for my concentration, but I was so itchy! Taking Benedryl helped, but the rash looked weird and the benedryl would wear off too soon for me to be able to take it when I needed it (meaning that it wore off every two hours, and you can't take benedryl every two hours). | F | 17 | 10 days 10mg 2X day | 4/5/2010 | 3 | ADD | Increased Thirst, Slight confusion and loss of short term memory, Dramatically increased sex drive, tiredness, lack of hunger during the day resulting in overeating at night, aches. Desire to crack knuckles, rub eyes and bite finger nails. anxiety. decreased tolerance of high temperatures | This Drug greatly improved my grades in school, but I've always noticed these side effects from taking it. | M | 17 | 4 months 20 1X day | 6/3/2011 | 3 | my dr prescribe it,im clueless why | calm, lack of apetite, sometimes dull, more focused, more in control. Sometimes i feel depressed and i feel like a blob. Its weird, sometimes i feel more mature, like i can handle things better. I get annoyed with people sometimes. I feel in more control of my surroundings. | I have no idea why im on adderall. i never questioned it when my doctor prescribed it. Nor did i say anything about taking it every morning since i was 6. My parents didnt tell me why i have to take it, or even the meds name. The doses were given to me by my parents in a very controlled manner. I had no access to the medicine. I found an empty bottle in the trash and did some research. I still have no idea why i take it. maybe they didnt tell me because they didnt want me to abuse it. But i noticed, if im in a hurry and i miss my daily dose, the day goes by like a blur and i end up doing something id regret when i get back to my senses. And i dont remember the next day. | F | 17 | 12 years 30mg 1X day | 4/4/2012 | 3 | ADD | loss of sleep, bad breath, bad taste in mouth, dry mouth, rapid heartbeat | I AM FRUSTRATED. Adderall has improved my grades dramatically. I am motivated to do my homework and study, and I pay attention in class...impossible without the medication. I have tried concerta and several different forms of adderall, and this is the only medication that works. I take 20 mg. Although it helps me in school, I have notice friendships start to deteriorate and I don't know why. I sometimes feel like not going out on weekends and just staying home. If i go a day without taking it, i feel very tired and sad for no reason. My breath also smells really bad. It feels good to be so on top of my school work but the side affects are just too much. I'm afraid that the adderall will lead to depression when i'm older. Email me if you can help me. | F | 17 | 6 months | 12/9/2005 | 2 | AFF | Complete loss of sexual drive, size of penis reduced dramtically, hunger loss, long lasting depression, dependency, imsomnia, obsessive compulsive, constipation, diarrea | I have been on this drug from 14 years of age to present, I remember back in those days I had an actual sex drive and liked girls a lot, Now im like in a asexual trance unable to hold a lasting erection is near impossible, Though this drug has dramatically helped my grades it has taken a toll on my social and sex life | M | 17 | 3 years | 9/5/2006 | 2 | ADD | no appetite, extreme hyperness, very talkative, fast & irregular heartbeat | This drug helped me concentrate very well for the first couple weeks. I was surprised, I didn't know what it was like to be able to focus. But then it stopped working... (?) So I don't know. | F | 17 | 2 months | 2/6/2007 | 2 | To Help Focus | Irritability, Weight loss, No appetite, Moody | I started taking it because I did horrible on tests, I actually do not have ADD. I like how it effected me loosing weight, but never being hungry or craving foods that I used to love was frustrating. It also made me VERY moody and I'd snap at people for no reason. I stopped taking it. | F | 17 | 6 months | 5/28/2007 | 1 | ADD | Decreased interest in anything, anxiety, depression, complete loss of appetite, anger, zombified state, nausea | When I was taking Adderall, I had absolutely no emotions whatsoever. I was incredibly apathetic which was very unusual for me considering I usually have such extreme emotions. No one liked to be around me because I was no fun and angry and depressed most of the time. I was absolutely miserable on Adderall and I do not reccommend it for people with strong personalities because it will suck all of the fun and personality right out of you. I lost a lot of weight, but gained even more after I stopped it. | F | 17 | 6 years | 5/2/2015 | 5 | Euphoria, wakefulness, increased aggression | This product is brilliant, however you have to learn to manage it just like everything else. As soon as you start taking it, start taking magnesium supplements as well. This will cut down tolerance build up (Google it, too much to explain in one comment box). You will most likely get some increased aggression, you need to learn how to manage this. Overall, a great medication if used wisely. | M | 18 | 180 days | 10/6/2009 | 5 | ADD | I've always had insomnia so I can't say it was a side effect, but it definitely got worse. My only real complaint is extreme loss of appetite and weight. I've been on the medication for two years. I lost 20 pounds the first year, gained most of it back over the summer, than lost it all again this year. I'm a 5'1 girl, and I weigh 91 pounds. This is not healthy and i do not like it, but no amount of food can make me put on weight while i am on the adderall. I can gain weight over the breaks, but when i start taking the medication I immediately drop any weight i've gained. | Despite the annoying weight loss, adderall saved my life. I was drowning under my workload at school and adderall was a miracle drug for me. It gave me security and the ability to succeed. | F | 18 | 2 years | 1/21/2009 | 5 | ADHD (non-hyperactive; ADD) | Dry Mouth, Anxiety, Susceptiblilty to Hypoglycemia, Severe loss of Appetite | I would recommend taking Adderall if you NEED it, I had a rough couple first weeks testing different doses and such, I'm on the highest prescribed dose for Adderall XR. It helps me function in my college classes with exceptional ability. I highly reccommend eating before taking as I could hardly look at food let alone eat while I am "on" Adderall. This substance can be highly addictive so I routinely wean on the weekends, which means I simply don't take it. This method also helps greatly when it comes to effectiveness and extremity of side effects. Parents: Do not let your young(under 16) children have possession of the entire prescription as they may have issues in taking it. Also parents, help your kids understand why they want to take it, not why the doctor says they should, ADHD may sound like it will make them an outsider. Also, just a helpful hint to all you teenagers my age, don't drink or smoke marijuana while you are taking adderall, it's not the kind of high you wou | M | 18 | 3 years | 10/29/2007 | 5 | ADD/ADHD | Loss of appetite, increased heart rate, clenching jaw, weight loss, insomnia, dizziness accompanied with momentary loss of vision (has happened a lot), occasional blackouts (has happened 3 times) | Adderall is very good for helping those with ADD/ADHD. It affects those with ADD/ADHD much differently than those who do not have it. It sort of has the opposite effect. I have taken dosages ranging from 20mg-80mg, and have found that the proper dosage is the key. Try to use as low a dose as possible that allows you to concentrate best without severe side effects. If you smoke marijuana while taking adderall the dizziness/temp. vision loss/blackouts become MUCH more frequent, though this can happen anyway. If you feel dizzy and your vision starts to blot out, sit down and wait until it is over, this is a good way to prevent blackouts. Be sure to eat. | F | 18 | 9 years | 12/1/2008 | 5 | cause i'm in college :) | loss of appetite, extreme alertness,energy and concentration. | I LOVE ADDERALL! i may not be taking it for the right reasons, but I love having it around when I have a huge test coming up or exams to crash for. It works miracles I used it to study for my UC 110 exam..stayed up all night and never got tired..went to bed at 6am and got up at 8am for my exam. and got an A on my exam and in the class overall. definitely worth it and easy to get! | F | 18 | 6 months | 12/7/2008 | 5 | ADD | anxious feeling, mild headaches, loss of appetite. | It has really helped me. being diagnosed with add at such a young age was quite hard. I have been on everything. I first started on ritalin, then moved to amphatemine, then amphetamine salts, then to adderall, and now adderall xr 30mg. I am able to focus, and be able to get things done. I am a completely different person when I am off of it.(i have a tendancy to go kinda loopy)alot of people take it for the wrong reasons, and claim they have "add". well I have a test for you "fakers". ..... does caffine have a tendancy to make you tired, but sugar keeps you wired for sound? well there you go. you might have add. when people have add, any caffine product of any kind will make us quite drowsy while sugary products give us energy. look at what adderall is..... its basically speed. its PURE caffine. so it slows those of us with add down enough so we have the ability to concentrate. I love it. without it I have no idea how i would have been able to get through school. i | F | 18 | 14 years | 1/25/2008 | 5 | ADD | ive been told im very arguementative on adderall, but i wouldnt know. i also get dry mouth, overheated, weight loss and pretty much everything else everyone is saying | its an amazing drug if you need it. i can hardly write my name on a sheet of paper without it. i know alot of people that use adderall to lose weight. i lost quite a bit and i was never fat, when i started taking it i had 16% body fat and now i have 6%. so it works for that. you do what ever you want with it. im just laying out the facts. | M | 18 | 5 years | 3/20/2007 | 5 | ADHD | Unable to eat healthy | I love it. It changed my life and helped me in ways no medicine has ever helped me. | M | 18 | 1 years | 2/10/2002 | 5 | confidence issues. | -sharp mood change from extremely happy to extremely depressed. -loss of appetite. -sleeplessness. -increased heart beat. | -very good for depression problems and insecurity problems. | M | 18 | 2 years | 3/7/2003 | 5 | not concentrating | insomnia, appetite loss, jittery feelings, sore jaw from clenching | really helped me concentrate and absord information, but i was never hungry, and couldn't sleep | F | 18 | 1 months | 1/25/2005 | 5 | ADD | Loss of appetite, weight loss (which I did not mind at all), jittery, and a bad taste in my mouth. | Happy with the results, everything has gotten better. My grades are ALOT better and I feel that I have more of a social life. I have tried Concerta, Ritalin and Straterra and Adderall is the only one that has worked for me. | F | 18 | 4 months | 2/6/2005 | 5 | A.D.D. etc. | Adderall XR, 15 mg and sometimes 20mg . Initial mild weight loss, worked sort of like a diuretic. Initial libido increase/changes, mild jitteriness esp. when I would drink any amounts of caffiene and certain foods. Noticed dryer skin, esp when increased dosage amount. Agitation, as if I'm craving a cigarette at times. Side effects are usually mild and well tolerated. I woulld not recommend this drug if you have ever had anorexia or if you're pretty prone to addictions This drug is very addicting, I actually started noticing I was slighty addicted to it when I increased the dose to 30 mg XR/day for 4 months, I discontinued 30mg and tapered back down to 15mg after some months. I will never increase the dose again because insomnia was harsh. If I take the 15mg XR in the early morning usually at the same time each day, I can sleep like a baby that evening. There is some EUPHORIA when starting the drug, it usually goes away as you keep taking it daily, but increasing the dose will bring m | I started on 15 mg XR and loved it for the first 7 months, then I started to think it wasn't so great, but it was more due to my personal habits were getting worse rather than the medicine itself. It helped with my mental anxiety, such as forgetting things, saying the wrong things to the wrong people at the wrong time, and initally I thought it helped with some depression, but I would say the Adderall XR actually helped me realize and admit that I do have some depression due to lack of attention spans and some anxiety issues. I will say that I never really knew what "organized" meant until I started taking this drug. It is not a miracle drug, although you may think it is for a small while when you take it for your first time. Since I've been on this drug, my days seem more logical and "learning" is not such a chore anymore, it has actually become a part of my life, because most people know that 'Life is all about learning, but that is hard for someone to understand | F | 18 | 4 years | 10/8/2006 |
