| 5 | ADHD (Without hyper activity) | Little appetite but comes back in 2-4 hours. Increased sex drive. | I first started Vyvanse and it gave me an unbelievable amount of attention but it destroyed my appetite for nearly the whole day. I lost about 20 pounds within 1-2 months while on it. I then tried Concerta but it did absolutely nothing for me. Adderall, for me at least, is the perfect medication, and a great balance between attention and appetite. | M | 18 | 3 years 30MG 1X day | 6/6/2012 | 5 | ADHD | Used to have decreased appetite along with some anxiety, now only positive effects. Increased attention span, organized mind, higher motivation, etc. miracle. | F | 18 | 2 years 30 | 11/27/2012 | 5 | ADHD | the norm, insomnia, little or no appetite, dry mouth, increased heart rate, occasional mood swings, increase in energy, increased mental alertness, and nervousness. a word of caution for anyone that smokes pot; NEVER MIX THE TWO. EVER. i did once not even on purpose just not thinking that an adderall i had taken 12 hours beforehand would effect me and i ended up having a seizure. i dont reccomend it. | I started taking adderall in middle school and I quickly found out that it really is the miriacle drug when it comes to school work. My main problem with schooling was that I liked to procrastinate or put off big projects until the day before they were due. Although this wasn't a big deal in junior high, once i started high school i found that the classes and projects were much more difficult. Even still when i got to high school i was a procrastinator and if it wasnt for adderall i would never have graduated. as a matter of fact, i discovered that by not procrastinating and doing a project ahead of time, i would get a worse grade then i would have if i had put it off and used the adderall. the thing about adderall though, is if you start to depend on it or abuse it, it will mess with you. Adderall is an amphetamine and it shares many of the same characteristics of meth-amphetamine. while in high school, i relied on adderall for every single project i ever handed in. this was especially true in my senior year. I started to enjoy the sleepless nights a little too much. there were a lot of times where i was only going to bed 3 or less nights a week. i wasnt even taking it for school anymore, i was just enjoying that i had the ability to stay up for days at a time. at one point i let it get really out of hand. by this point my doctor had also prescribed me with 5 mg for when i got home from school. with the combination of the two doses, i was able to stay awake for as long as i | M | 18 | 6 years 30 MG 1X day | 1/6/2011 | 5 | narcolepsy | dry mouth, sometimes too concentrated | M | 18 | 7 months 12.5 6X day | 3/29/2011 | 5 | motivation | Good; weight loss, higher self-esteem, more positive self-image, better concentration, neatness, motivated to do things, more personable and friendly, more tolerable. Bad; dry mouth, biting my gums, clenching my jaw (which leads to headaches.), occasional upset stomach, irritibilty (but only when it wears off.), and frequent urination. | overall the good side effects i have experienced highly outway the bad ones. i have always had a negative self-image, but since taking adderall it has improved greatly. i have lost several pounds and i put more time into how i look. it has helped me with school tremendously. i study and complete all of my assignments on time. i also feel i accomplish much more in a days time because i no longer constantly sleep. i have also noticed i can more easily talk to people and hold intellectual converstations without getting irritated or losing focus. this drug has helped me greatly, but it does seem to have an addiction factor and is easy to build a tolerance towards. those are the only things that slightly worry me. | F | 18 | 4 months 20 MG 3X day | 9/5/2010 | 5 | Study for Mid-Terms | I was able to study for twelve hours straight, from 8PM to 8AM. It helped me focus and I surprisingly enjoyed reading my history book and studying for my test. I read thirteen chapters twice, wrote down all the vocab, answered all the practice discussion questions in the syllabus (around 30) and re-read my notes multiple times. I did notice that I had a dry mouth and upset stomach around halfway through the night. After staying up the entire night and taking my exam i felt exhausted, my stomach felt like it was in knots and hurt extremely bad, walking back to my dorm I felt like I was going to pass out, I had no hunger but I knew that I needed to eat to make myself feel a little better. I had cramps in my neck and back and even though I was so tired I was still not able to fall asleep for quite some time. Overall though I would say it was worth it, I did really good on my midterm and it helped me study incredibly | M | 18 | 1 days 20mg 3X day | 3/2/2010 | 4 | ADD + Depression | Dry mouth (which I fix with lots of water). Insomnia: I can't sleep for a LONG time after taking this. Teeth grinding or I tend to bite my lip abnormally a lot. Zombie-like state after taking for awhile. Addiction: self-expl. Temp. change: I'M ALWAYS FREEZING when I take it. ZERO sex drive. Severe mood swings/depression when not taking daily dose. Increased heart rate. Never hungry, but am still made to eat. Detachment from life in general. | I was fine all throughout mid-school, but when I got to high school my parents noticed my grades were slipping and my attitude was going downhill...fast. Earlier on, they thought it was just because I was a teen...yaddayaddayadda. We took some(SEVERAL) tests and showed I had severe ADD w/ signs of depression. Started taking it (a little too late in my high school career) and started to get my life on track. My grades were good but I felt like I was starting to get addicted and felt like a zombie more normally after taking it. So I decided to take a break from it for a month, and in that month I was more depressed and irritable than I had been in my whole life. So much so, that I got kicked out of school, 3/4 way through my senior yr. Needless to say, I'm back on it and am currently working towards my diploma:) | F | 18 | 11 months 30mg XR 1X day | 4/23/2010 | 4 | ADHD | Sweating, rapid heartbeat, weight loss, cold hands & feet. | F | 18 | 2 years 20 MG | 1/21/2012 | 4 | ADD | The first thing I noticed was my loss of appetite. I ate a lot less than I usually did and that caused me to go from 170 lbs. to 114 lbs. in a little over a year. I was on 30 mg. at that point. I also saw a gigantic change in my grades- for the better. I was able to sit down and do homework for hours on end. In many ways that was good, but the Adderall XR really took a toll on my heart and I ended up in the ER with chest pains. They told me I had tachycardia and it was most likely caused by the medicine. So I was forced to go through the process of finding a different dosage all over again and ended up at 20 mg. It doesn't work quite as well for me and I've gained some weight, but I guess that's the best I can do right now. There might be a possible lower sex drive. | I say take it if you need it, but if you don't- don't bother. I get frustrated here at college because people are always talking about how they are using Adderall all the time and blah, blah, blah... Fortunately I haven't told many people that I use it because if I did they would be banging down my door. Use Adderall if you actually have a clinical issue. Don't abuse it because that's just dumb. | F | 18 | 2 years | 3/16/2006 | 4 | ADHD | dry mouth, loss of appetite for the first few months, and also tremors | Adderall Works well, but like all addictive substances, your body builds tolerance. I felt that after about 4 month the dose i was on was not enough. It can be difficult to find a dose that works effeciently | F | 18 | 10 months | 3/19/2004 | 4 | ADHD | irritability, thirst/sour taste in mouth, sweaty palms, no appetite, drowsiness. | I was just recently diagnosed with ADHD, and I have been taking Adderall for a week. My doc started me on one 20mg pill in the morning each day; the first two days I took it were intense...it was like being high on cocaine for 48hrs straight. This is evening out as my body builds up a tolerance, it just gives me the boost in the morning I need to get out of bed and apply myself in school. The improvement in concentration was immediate. The downside? I'm very irritable, I can't eat (expect substantial weight loss), and once it wears off I'm very tired. Also, which is kind of weird...when I'm on it, I have no desire for sex. But when it wears off I CRAVE it! Has anyone else experienced this? | F | 18 | 1 weeks | 2/6/2005 | 4 | A D D | major weight loss, loss of appitite, irritable, moody, addictive. | Adderall has really helped me, espically when I was in middle school. I went from failing most classes to having A's and being on the honor roll. Adderall has also helped me all through high school and has helped me maintain the good grades. But I have been noticing for probably the past year in a half that I'm really not myself when I'm on it. I'm not very social and I just dont really talk to anyone, I get sad and people say I'm very unapproachable. When I'm off the drug people love to be around me and they dont understand why i'm on it in the first place. Its hard to explain but when i'm off of adderall i feel great. I laugh and I'm very social and I love it but if I'm off of it for more then a couple of days i start to freak out and feel very anxious, like I cant control anything... Adderall is very addictive and I wouldnt suggest using it, only if you really need it. | F | 18 | 6 years | 10/11/2007 | 4 | ADD | Headaches when it starts to wear off. Adderall and my birthcontrol pills contributed to me having a severe migraine that appeared as a stroke and put me in the ER. Weight loss. Constant coldness. Feeling tingly all over. Eyes feel glossy towards the end of the day. Decreased social life. Dizziness. Not being able to function at all in class unless i have taken the medicine. | My grades improved dramatically. But, i went from being a very social well liked person to pretty much not having any friends at all. I can't really stand social situations anymore, especially in school because I just want to focus and get my work done. Even though it has pretty much murdered my social life, it has changed my life for the better, especially since im a senior in high school and need to be focused on school right now. It really helped me realize that i am a smart person and that i am capable of doing well in school. | F | 18 | 2 years | 2/13/2006 | 4 | ADHD | Dramatic decrease in appetite, mild insomnia, teeth grinding, mild OCD symptoms, a mild high at first and a mild depression later in the day, lack of the need to interact socially | Ive had to take adderall since I was in middle school, it did get me into college but at the price of developing social skills | M | 18 | 6 years | 2/14/2009 | 4 | SEVERE ADHD | Insomnia, Loss of appetite, I become excessively Obsessive compulsive, Moodiness(I became lethargic and often WAY too serious), my mouth is always dry and the medication tends to provoke my ticks (Tourettes syndrom). My sex drive is ridiculously high (almost distracting). I find that since I am someone who has struggled with eating disorders, adderall is particularly addictive as a substitute for dieting. I have experienced high blood pressure, increased heart rate, and excessive sweating on this medication. | I am on 40mg of Adderall in the mornings and 30mg of short acting Adderall in the afternoon. It has helped me focus and do better in my classes. I have only been on Adderall for little over a year, after having a terrifying experience with Concerta (which made me paranoid/provoked my panic attacks) | F | 18 | 1 years | 6/23/2008 | 4 | School | I put a 4 for Adderall because it certainly does its job. Not only does it help you focus INTENSELY, but it keeps you wide awake and makes you excited to do things you would otherwise put off. However, with that said, this drug is very dangerous. I do not have ADD, and I started taking it to study harder and do better at school. I never had problems concentrating, but it made me concentrate even more, which was great (at first). It lifted my GPA from a 3.5 to a 3.8 after only two semesters. But my body quickly developed a tolerance to it, so I had to take more and more to get the same effect. Eventually, it felt like it was doing nothing, until I was literally OD'ing on it and ended up having panic attacks while on it. I was also picking at my skin constantly, lost a ton of weight until I looked sickly, and was getting no sleep. After a few months of this hell, I flushed all the pills down the toilet. It was difficult to stop using, because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do a | F | 18 | 1 years | 9/30/2009 | 3 | ADHD | loss of appetite, fatigue, dizziness,flat personality, irritability, focus, motivation, increased sex drive, tearfulness (depression?), tic | started taking regular adderall in 2nd grade. xr later on. stopped for 2 years in high school. now im in college. i stopped taking adderall because i was very depressed, possibly bipolar. i had poor relationships, i found myself aggravated towards everyone. i was cold towards people. i would come home everyday, get through all of my homework perfectly. then cry and not really talk to anyone as it wore off. on days i missed it i was extremely hyperactive and obnoxious, i was called out in class a number of times. i developed a vocal tic. i hated myself. my grades were good. when i stopped taking it i felt so happy i had alot of friends alot of confidence, i was my old self. however it would take me hours tto write even one page of an essay, and i literally could not focus enough to read anything at all. i was extremely regretful to start taking it again but my grades are at their lowest of my life. im on the generic. its been less than a week. its not that bad. its kind of the same. although the bad stuff more and the motivation less. | F | 18 | 12 years | 12/9/2009 | 3 | Supposed ADD | Insomnia, flushing of face, anxiety, sweaty at random times, back pain, teeth grinding, depression, Loss of social interaction I only took this drug because I felt pressured from how my grades were and my parents when I was a freshman in high-school, my grades went from d/f's to B's and A's feeling like I was on-top of the world(especially after the first couple of months).. now a senior I feel like I'm really depended on it, this drug has messed my life up in every way possible. Yes I got those grades, but is it really worth it to now have anxiety, depression, dependents on adderal, secluding myself from society?... It's funny I talked to my doctor who prescribed me adderall and I told him I was addicted to it and that I want to get off it. All he said was that I couldn't get addicted to adderall and if my grades are good, he sees no reason to get off it... Advice, don't take more than your prescribed, even if you have to cram for an exam, trust me you will become dependent on that. Give your body a break from adderal, especially if you haven't been sleeping, sleep does wonders on your mood. Sometimes you have to say screw school and worry about yourself and your health. I mean you do live only once right?... | M | 18 | 3 years 30-60mg | 2/11/2014 | 3 | ADD | Cottonmouth for a little in early after you take it, I'm so used to Addy it goes away soon after it starts. Zombifacation. Mood swings, It Definatly does its job i could use a little more to make sure I'm always focused but for social reasons I'm opting to not. (my grades are falling though) Its horrible once you get physically dependent. id you don't take it you sleep for hours, I'm talking the whole day. It really isn't a good drug if your just saying why not let me just get some to "focus". its the devils drug like and i mean it is. you get to focus, but really your soul or your personality is taken away. Never hungry and thats why a healthy athletic active 18 year old 5'8young man like myself will remain 140 ibs. Depression, ANXIETY omg a lot of anxiety. i go through a lot everyday. really makes me sad and feel lonely and like everyones out to get me. but its not that bad if you learn how to just be like oh this is just a side effect i just gotta take a couple deep breath | I gotta take it for the rest of my life, no questions. even here in college, i am prescribed 2 a day just in case i need the second one, usually take one though, but then i can't fall asleep. so you say oh I'm gonna lay down 11:09 PM. next thing you know its 4:51 and your just like....... the hell am i supposed to now so i take a second pill. or if i just feel like staying up all night, lately (3 weeks now) i just take a pill at like 11 and i watch netflix all night and wonder why i feel alone, when the answers clear as day, its 3:12 in the morning, normal people are asleep. When you drink on it you can drink like 3 times as much as you normally would which is bad trust me, drunk on campus sad because my pill is wearing off i stood at the top of the parking garage saying i was gonna jump off all because i drank way more then i should have when i felt normal through the night. then when it wore off i felt every inch of the drunk and all the problems i was having with friends. I wish it wasn't so depent because then i would be a different person honestly. To be completely honest, my whole life has been a lie really, i say this as a joke to myself sometimes when I'm sad but it only makes me worse. "Your a robot, commanding orders during the day, but after the last bell rings you want people to see you for you and the person that you are at 8pm when your back to yourself."
