| 4 | I experienced a shrinking of my penis and testicles. In addition, during sexual intercourse I experienced pre-mature ejaculation every time. However, I have never felt more focused and attentive to my partner's needs. I highly recommend it. | M | 19 | | 12/15/2008 | 4 | Test Anxiety, Concentration | Mania within the first hour of taking it, dry mouth, "crash" periods after 5 hours or so, headaches, loss of personality, addictive, teeth grinding, talkative at first, sweating immediately after taking it, I-N-S-O-M-N-I-A, etc | I have been taking Adderall 30 XR for three years. I recently increased it to 35mg, where I take the extra 5mg in the afternoon. No doubt it helped my grades - went from a 2.0 in high school to a 3.8 currently in my sophomore yr of college - but recently (prob the last year) I am starting to feel depressed, moody, and really all of the other side effects people listed below. I almost think TOO hard and TOO much when taking it sometimes which is actually distracting. If you already have trouble sleeping before taking this drug--I suggest looking into a sleeping aid. I currently take Ambien XR which works fine. Overall, I hope I never have to come off of this drug, but then again I also wish I never would have taken it in the first place b/c of some of the side effects. | F | 19 | 3 years | 4/17/2008 | 4 | ADHD | sweats, mild headache, physical crash at the end of the day (never depressed though), weight loss, memory trips | Overall, it has done wonders. I started on XR 20 and I'm now up to 30 (have been for the past 5 months). I was diagnosed with ADHD around 8 months ago but my parents and teachers had always suspected it but never bothered to get me tested. Since being on adderall, my focus is unbelievable and my impulsivity has subsided a ton. The only downside is its potential abuse- I have had an issue with eating disorders in the past, and while it has helped with bulemia, I feel like I HAVE to take it so I don't over indulge. But then upon taking it, I don't eat for the rest of the day. I'm 5'11 and 130 lbs now, and at one point I was 113lbs. During my highschool years I was steady around 150. Way too many young women are taking this for weight loss and there needs to be far more discipline for perscription, it's getting tossed around like candy. Also I have found if I need to finish homework or a project, I'll purposely take it later in the day so I can stay up a little later (NOT GOOD!). The othe | F | 19 | 8 months | 10/2/2007 | 4 | Depression, Bipolar Disorder, ADD. | Hair thinning/loss, weight loss, insomia, mood swings, emotional dependency, feeling hopeless, severe anxiety, teeth grinding, acne, irritability. | 8 months of taking this medication and my life has gone down hill. At first, I felt motivated to reach my dreams, start a career. That ended after i had to keep taking more and more doses to get the same effect i got the first day i took adderall. im prescribed 20 MG twice a day, but i take up 70 Mg daily & am left without them for a few days until my next perscription is filled. It helps my ADD, but nothing else. I have developed severe anxiety, I can't even walk in public alone, I'm scared to drive, Im nervous to see anyone from my past. I weighed 218 when i started, Now i weight 157. never had acne, now i do. what was once my beautiful thick hair is now thin and brittle. When coming down off it, i get headaches. feel sick, i get really thristy, grind my teethso bad that their damaged and is now gonna cost over $3500 to fix. I obsess about everything, and i always wanna pick at my skin. I get irritated and i'm impatient. This isnt who i am, I'm trying to slowly ween myself off and my mother has my pills locked up so i can't abuse them. What started off to be something to help me concentrate on my college work, and help with my mood swings has fastly become a terrible unhealthy addiction. I'm not healthy anymore, This has taken over my life. i'm only nineteen, and i hate everything this pill has turned me into. I used to be so strong minded, Adderall now has a hold over me. Hopefully i can completely get down to 30 MG a day in the next few weeks or months. Wish me luck. | F | 19 | 8 months 20 2X day | 10/19/2010 | 4 | supposed adhd | insomnia,euphoria,intense sexual desire,limp dick,paranoia,aggitation,blurred vision,social conduct disorders,altered state of self, | the more adderall does for the indvidual, the worse off their are. to sum this amphetamine cock-tail up, it psycologically stimulates your brain, creating massive releases of serotonin,ephedrine,dopamine, and all those rewarding good feeling natural chemicals.there for causing effects such as euphoria,good sense of self/well being, sublime,"up",positive,motivational determination, and socially able to control social situations and life, in the manner of your intentions...what the problem is with humans and chemicals is, its all artificial, the brain loves it, thus making you an addict if you already werent, being it releases motivational chemicals in your mind 40 times faster than your brain can naturally release it overtime..makes for stormy weather.just be sure to refrain from ignorance and truely monitor any changes that hinder who you really are.not the induced you. | M | 19 | 3 years 30mg daily 4X day | 2/22/2010 | 4 | college | restlessness, paranoia, euphoria, back pain, chest pain, heart palpitations, irritability, anxiety, panic attacks, sexual dysfunction, compulsive behavior, elevated heart rate, numbing of extremities, poor circulation, shallow breathing, aggressiveness, fatigue, flushed skin, cravings, exponential tolerance, severe comedown, dependence, extreme hot/cold sensations, insomnia, tremors, teeth grinding, biting gums, appetite loss, picking at skin, increased libido, sweating, dry mouth, agitation, excessive sleeping, minor hallucinations | M | 19 | 200 times 20 1X day | 5/5/2010 | 4 | ADD | GOOD: A great increase in my attention span. Gradual weight loss with out really trying. Increased productivity. My house has never been cleaner. BAD: Terrible dry mouth. Easily irritated. | I've been incredibly satisfied with Adderall. Before I felt like I was constantly missing something. Like everyone had this great work ethic and I'd just missed out on this gene.. not anymore. I'm constantly doing something. Cleaning, studying, organizing. School's great. Work's great. Over three weeks I've lost a little over 10 pounds. I'm hardly ever hungry and really have to make myself eat. I know if I'd add some exercise to this, the weight loss would be greater. On the other side, the dry mouth is almost more than I can take. I brush my teeth at least 5x a day because I can't take the terrible taste. I've noticed I'm a little bit more easily irritated. More so it seems to make my PMS worse, but when it's not that time of the month it's nothing that I can't handle after I recognize myself getting angry, and remind myself that it's the medicine, I'm able to reign myself in. All in all, Adderall has been great for me! | F | 19 | 3 weeks 30 MG 1X day | 7/20/2010 | 3 | ADD | better concentration, energized, loss of appetite, irritable, sever anger outbursts, depression, paranoia, emotionally unstable. | I am a nineteen year old working college student. Adderall helped me alot with being able to concentrate and pay attention when people talk to me. I have so much more energy when I take it unlike before I started taking it which consisted of me being tired all the time . Along with these affects I seem to have many negitive side affects. I get irritated easily and will freak out for no reason. I have the worst anger outbursts which will come and go. I am so emotionally unstable and have sever depression. I had susidal thoughts many times and its almost impossible to control this. I cry everyday for no reason what so ever. It's hard for me to tell someone how I am feeling because they have no idea what it feels like. It seems like I never go out with friends anymore because everything seems so boring to me, even though I just end up sitting at home doing nothing anyways. I still take allerall everyday and just hope the negitive effects will go away over time. | F | 19 | 4 months 30 mg 1X day | 9/9/2010 | 3 | ADHD | pounding and racing heart, 15 pound weight loss in 1 month, poor circulation (purplish fingertips and legs), insomnia | I've been taking ritalin or its like since firt grade when i was diagnosed with ADHD. Over the years i have developed a tolerance to most such drugs and higher doses cause side effects like head aches and racing heart. When i first took adderall it worked wonderfully, i could concentrate in classes and to do homework, and my grades went back up (i attend a very competive college and had been struggling with getting all my work done). I could also get to places on time and do things without taking exorbitant amounts of time. It took a little while for side effects to develop to where i noticed them. I don't want to stop taking it because it controls my ADHD but i'm affraid to keep taking it because of the side effects. I want to ask my docter to reduce my dose. | F | 19 | 1.5 months | 6/17/2006 | 3 | ADHD/bpd/binge eating | At first, felt very motivated, elevated mood, almost euphoric, slight headache, no appetite, difficulty sleeping, social anxiety decreased, stable moods, felt I could do anything. I started on 20 mg xr. After a few days these side effects, including the benefits, decreased and my tolerance rose. I started feeling irritable, fatigued, appetite came back. The feeling you get on adderall is 100% addictive. Even the negative ones. So then I started breakig open capsules to add a little to my dose. I began noticing I was sweating more, urinating and defecating A LOT more, slight heart rate increase, some social withdrawal, short term memory started going a bit, strange taste in mouth, insane obsessive skin picking, paying too much attention to details that don't matter, odd body odor, nightmares, insane cigarette cravings, OCD behaviors, cold feet and hands. Soon this wasn't enough and I decided to take a drug holiday. During this, I was lazy as hell, binged almost 15 thousand calories, super depressed, very tired. I've worked my tolerance up to 40 mg xr at once, and then another 20 mg a couple hours later. Lately my side effects are lack of motivation, intense heart palpitations, very high heart rate, difficulty paying attention to more than one thing at once, obsession with working out, shaking hands, always cold, jaw clenching, social anxiety, not feeling human/myself, sleeping problems, paranoia, headache, rambling speech, weight loss (15 pounds in a month), cold feeling in ch | F | 19 | 1 months 20-60mg xr | 2/22/2012 | 3 | ADHD | Positive: increased focus, decreased appetite, i felt like i could accomplish anything, negative: headaches,increased heart rate, extremely dry mouth, excessive thirst, limb numbness,teeth chattering, always cold and clammy limbs, extreme cigarette crave, towards end of day blurred vision, very agressive anger outbursts, insomnia, highly addicting!! | F | 19 | 1 years 20 mg | 10/18/2012 | 3 | ADD | Dry mouth, emotional instability, decreased appetite, crash when off for more than a day, oiler skin, and inability to sleep. | I have been taking it for 7 months, after 18 years of being unable to concentrate fully on my tasks and "flitting" all over the place. It seems that at first I had a fabulous reaction to the drug, getting everything done and feeling more alert. At this point I feel like I may be taking the wrong dosage, 20 mg to 30 mg a day. It's almost my college's winter break and so I plan to experient a little more with my psychiatrist with different dosages and working on my own scheduling. I'm torn at this point, because I feel that I don't want to let it go in case it will help me if done correctly, but I get insane mood swings. For example, I'll be in a lecture and feeling perfectly fine, and all of the sudden, BOOM, something hits me and I feel depressed. This feeling is VERY unsettling and so that's quite possibly the biggest problem I am having along with a TERRIBLE sleeping pattern. | F | 19 | 7 months | 12/3/2008 | 3 | ADD | better concentration, trouble sleeping, tweak effect | I take adderall XR 15 once in the morning on school days, monday through thursday and sunday if I need to study or do a lot of homework. It says to also take one in the afternoon, but I can't go to sleep until 3 or 4 AM if I do. Yesterday, I had to study for a test so I took one at 7 AM and one at 3 PM and didn't go to sleep until after 3 AM. It has helped me bring up my grades because I can concentrate better now. If you need it to concentrate at school or work use it otherwise don't. It can also get depressing as it wears off. I don't see how this is medically legal and marijuana isn't. Adderall is much more addictive and dangerous in general, and even worse if abused. Definately don't take too much; I would say it is not something to f with. | M | 19 | 3 months | 2/13/2008 | 3 | add | loss of appetite but it does help somewhat but Ive just recently looked into the drake institute for biofeedback and don't need the medicine hooray! | No one should have to be on the med if there's something else out there that is med free! | F | 19 | 3 months | 2/16/2008 | 3 | ADD | EXTREME loss of appetite, less social, I would find myself very tired but when I would lay down to go to sleep I couldn't fall asleep | I see a great improvement in my focus. | F | 19 | 150 days | 8/21/2004 | 2 | ADHD | Exhuasted, had no energy. No appetite. Throat felt swollen constnatly. Dry mouth. | I just got put on AdderallXR 15 mg. and it doesn't seem to do a thing to me except make me tired. Maybe it's because I'm working a lot, but I know for a fact when I tried my friends 20 mg. I felt like a God. I had the confidence to do everything I wanted and could do it pretty damn well. Maybe should I tell my doctor that I need to increase the mg.? Would 5 mg make that big of a difference, I can't think of any other reason why the 15 mg. makes me so tired yet the 20 mg. I was bouncing off the walls. Please e-mail!! | M | 19 | 2 weeks | 6/1/2007 | 2 | ADHD | I have literally created two different people- Cari on Adderall and Cari not on Adderall. It has robbed me of my emotion, creativity and personality. Yet I have become so dependent on it to curb my appetite and help me complete mundane tasks that I can't go over a week without taking it. Listen, if you have ADHD, embrace it rather than putting this shit into your body to "cure" it. All that the adderall has done is create made me unhappy. The past four years have been terrible- I used to write beautifully... now, not so much. It is so hard for me to form any close relationships with anyone and I'm always thinking ahead and living in the future. Sure, I go to one of the best schools in the nation... but at what cost? my happiness. Don't do it. It's not worth it. | F | 19 | 4 years 45 1X day | 4/25/2012 | 2 | Idiopathic Hypersomnia | Loss of appetite (seems to be getting better though), extremely distracted, OCD is really, really bad, I cant stop cleaning everything I see, hot flashes/sweats, jittery, cant remember anything, I forget what Im talking about in the middle of talking and cant seem to stay on topic for my life, insomnia (I would stay up all night, one night I didnt even sleep at all and remained awake for 2 whole days). | I hated taking this. It really doesnt help me at all. In fact, it stops me from doing my work and makes me more anxious as a result. I dont know why anyone calls this a miracle drug because I cant even stay focused on any task. I am constantly getting distracted and I am very forgetful. One minute Id be on a zoom meeting and the next Id be talking to whoever walked in the door or doing the laundry, completely forgetting I was in a meeting. It was ridiculous! This just did not work for me. Granted, I wasnt tired. But I couldnt sleep and was feeling terrible dealing with all these symptoms. | F | 19 | 5 days 10 MG 1X day | 10/22/2020 | 1 | Staying focused | It works, however, the withdrawal is horrible. I felt depressed after it wore off. I don't recommend, look for alternative ways to stay focus. | M | 19 | 4 years 20 1X day | 7/21/2020 | 1 | A.D.D | Depression. Mood swings. stomach pain. phycotic episodes. Suicidal thoughts. | I was a bad student my entire life until I was prescribed to Adderall. I went from a 2.0 student to a 3.5 and it got me into college. At college I realized It was altering my personality. It would made me antisocial and weird in an social situations. I am usually outgoing, love to laugh, fool around and easy going. Adderall made me someone im not and stole my soul. It would made me depressed to the point where I actually debated suicide and that would be crazy to anyone who knew me off the drug. Finally I had a complete phycotic episode thought I was dying and freaked completely out. This drug is so bad. Don't take it if you want to keep your sanity. Even if you think your ok now, things can change quickly. You will get the grades but at what cost? | M | 19 | 1 years | 12/15/2008 |
