 4  treatment resistant depressiom headache, tummy troubles, loss of appetite Hi, I posted below while on my first day of this medicine. Would like to update to say that this is, for the most part helping the condition it was prescribed for. Start-up for this medicine was rougher than some, for a few days I was aggitated, then weepy and completely unable to eat. I've lost almost 10 lbs. off a slender frame. But, I'm doing ok and sticking with it. I would like to caution people giving this to their kids to start slowly on a low dose. It is a very powerful drug and as an adult, I was able to understand the changes I saw in myself. To a little kiddo, these things would probably seem very scary. Hope this is useful. F 34 2 weeks

 5   biting at inside of my mouth more than usuall and grinding my teeth. No weight loss or loss of appetite (may because the dosage is so low) I am on a very small dose off adderall and only take it when I am planning on spending time in the library to study. It has helped me really sit down and focus on my work for longer than a few minutes. I am a bit concerned about the teeth grinding though, it is only really bad on the night that I took the medication earlier in the day to study. F 23 1 years

 4  treatment resistant depression none I'll admit I was terrified to get the prescription, fill it, and then take the pills. But after fighting depression so hard for almost 6 years now and being unable to tolerate SSRI drugs, I had to take that chance and accept the help. I feel fine the first day, a bit energetic. Just wanted to thank all for your posts, it helped a lot in my research. And to some: please be a little less harsh on people who choose this med. They may not want to get high--they may be just like me who just would give anything to feel better for a bit and get their lives on track. F 34 1 days

 4  ADHD Slight loss of appetite I am posting this for my son. My 11 year old has recently been put on this medication, and since he has improved his behavior tenfold. He was getting in trouble every day and almost failing classes. In one months time he now only gets in trouble with one teacher (that he doesn't like), and his grades are all going up. Even his teachers are sending me notes telling me that his behavior is improving and with that he is focusing on his school work, paying attention in class and not getting into as many fights. That my depressed boy is now enjoying school and having fun. We are working with a counselor as well working on behavior management as well as focus issues, but he is still unwilling to "change" some negative behaviors. He recently started an afternoon dose, and we have yet to see improvements from that, but are hopeful. I know one thing, I am THANKFUL for this medication and the vast improvements I have seen in just a short time. M 33 1 months

 1  ADD Insommnia, headaches, irritablitly, dizziness,very talkative,dehydration I've been on the lowest does of Adderall (10mg) for two days now and I have no idea how anyone could possibly like/become addictied to this medication. I feel dehydrated, my stomach is upset, I can barely eat, and the list goes on and on. Peronsally I think ADD can be controlled with thearpy not drugs. I have never felt this terrible before and I know this is not healthy. Most posts I read talk about how the people taking this drug cannot live without it and I think that's a cop out. This is def not something that is healthy for your body and it's def not something I recommend doing EVER. One more note ANYONE who gives this drug to a child should go under phsych evaluation themselves. It breaks my heart to know anyone would give such a powerful drug to a child. Being a good parent and seeking thearpy for the child would be ten times better then this drug. The side effects listed are insane!!!! The so called "disease" I have is not as bad as the side effects that come with this medication. I think it should be banned and I intend to write a couple letters explaining this as well. I hope you will take what I have said seriously and not listen to the way the drug is making you feel. You may feel on top of the world today but what would you do if there was a disaster tomorrow and you no longer had your "medication"? Good luck all..for me I will choose a healthy diet, excersize, and maybe a therapist. I'll see you in 50 years...well unless you keep taking this. F 25

 4  ADD Loss of appetite, slight insomnia Despite an addictive personality, I'm not addicted to Adderall. This is because I only take it 30 minutes before class or before a big homework load. The key is not to use it unless you really need it- an important project or important workload. It has helped me immensely and I'm extremely glad that I'm taking it. All of my classmates that are taking it have been able to bring up their grades and focus during their jobs. As long as steps are taken to avoid dependency it works and it won't rule your life.

 5  hypersomnia, fibromyalgia, fatigue No interest in food, sensitive to blood pressure drops, wanting to bite the inside of my cheek or rub my hands together a lot. This drug is giving me my life back. I am on an extremely low dose for hypersomnia for I am very chemically sensitive. Not only am I no longer falling asleep randomly, it's helping me deal with my fibromyalgia pain better and I am "less foggy." It's also helped my anxiety and depression. I have been on almost every single anti depressant out there and NOTHING has worked like Adderall. I don't know why I wasn't put on it sooner. Normally I try to treat my fibro as naturally as possible, with vitamins, herbs, exercise, etc, but I could not beat the fatigue and that is why my doctor prescribed it. I see why this drug is easily abused and I wish people would stop abusing it so that people like me who's lives are interrupted by legit medical problems could get it easier. F 22 1 months

 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

 4  ADD GOOD: Euphoria, Increased Energy, Greater Focus BAD: Crashes, Loss of Emotion, Felt Fake, Dependency Good things to report: I was able to ween off this drug easily. Bad things to report: Sometimes my chest pulses quickly, and I wonder if it is my heart that is beating quickly or if it is my pectoral muscle twitching. That worries me. Began with 5mg 2x daily, became 10mg 1x daily, to 10mg 2x daily, then I lost my "don't "abuse" " sensor as stress and desperation increased when finals rolled around, and went up to 20mg 1x or 2x daily. The largest dose I took that semester was 40mg the morning of a two-finaled day + 20mg that afternoon. I recommend: 1) see if you can bust it sober (ahah, yah right.) 2) take holidays from this drug, they feel so good (don't take adderall on the weekends!) M 24 2.5 years

 5  AHDH (combined type) better concentration!!! I get blinders since I can't actually seem to do more than one thing at a time. However, i do have tics (medicine induced when i "come down") and if I take it soo late i have a hard time falling asleep. I have been taking Adderall since i was 12 because I have so Oh SO FUN combined type of ADHD (ADD with hyperactivity and impulsivity). this made school very hard for me growing up and still does. I'm now a senior in college and still need the medicine and most likely always will. some of these side effects are common and mean you need to adjust your dose like change in appetite, weight change, and slight insomnia. They will also wear off after a while, if they last for a year, your dose is too high. also if it causes symptoms associated with stimulants like increased energy and what not your dose is either much too high or you don't have ADHD and SHOULD NOT be taking it. the body chemistry of a person with ADHD is different than someone who does not have it and so it affects us differently. If you lower your dose and it still cause anxiety, increased energy, euphoria and the like, YOU DON'T HAVE ADHD and YOU SHOULD NOT BE TAKING THIS DRUG!!! yes it will cause "zombie-likeness" and depression and other adverse side affects in your dose is too high and you truly do have ADHD (i had that problem in high school and in the beginning of college), but after lowering my doasage and increasing the frequency (I went from 30 mg 1x a day to 12.5 mg 3x daily) I wasn't zombie like, i had a better over all moods, and my tics became less (but i do still have them). if you have adhd you should give it a try although most people i know opt to not take medicine, if you don't I F 22 10 years

 3  add/adhd unbearably rapid and jumpy heartbeat, insomnia, anger outbursts, increased sex drive, increased need for other people/socializing, no appetite, abnormally dilated pupils, shortness of breath, back pain, aches, some mild hallucinations I started my freshman year, age 18. Considering I was naturally lazy and unmotivated, I liked it right away b/c of the 'better' person it made me become-- more confident, sociable, would finally work on my drawings/writings and clean and WANT to do my homework, go to class, meet new people. It definitely gave me a sense of euphoria. Oh, but I must mention that at this point in time I was NOT prescribed, and the negative side effects to the drug were not that bad, except I had yet to learn to just force myself to eat & would get sick on occasion. So I was hooked & after about a year & a half of buying it from college kids/scumbag dealers, I put the plan in action to get my doctor to prescribe it to me (my 'outpatient' doctor who prescribed me my suboxone from yet another addiction I also endured/conquered--pain killers). Damn, I digress. I'm on adderall now, can you tell? Well, I ended up getting prescribed a lame 30 day supply of vyvance 30mg, which would last me a week and a half if i was lucky. I continued to fuel my addiction and lost a lot of friends. Met a lot of good people just to push them all away. I developed this awful problem of popping EVERY SINGLE PIMPLE/MARK even remotely visible on my face--which is pretty, by the way, but not after I'd be done with it. Lost a lot of weight. I spent 2 years on this shit in a daze, not really living, not really feeling, so often feeling SO HELPLESS, so alone, like I was the only one in the world. Even if I surrounde M 21 2 years

 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

 3  Extreme Depression and Fatigue Weight loss (15 pounds), decreased appetite, cold hands/feet; on each dose, mild euphoria followed by extreme agitation/ irritability/ anxiety I've suffered crippling depression and fatigue for many years. I was on Provigil for two years as an adjunct to various antidepressents, but by late summer this year I could no longer afford the outrageous cost of Provigil, so I switched to Adderall in desperation. For the first couple weeks, Adderall worked perfectly (it enhanced my mood, increased my energy and allowed me to care, get out of bed, and function like Provigil had done), but quickly the doctor had to increase the dosage to maintain the same effect. In the end I was prescribed a total of 30 mg/day, but even then I started taking extra doses late in the day to stave-off the "come down" of irritability and agitation. All the while, the benefits dropped sharply (shorter periods of elevated mood and energy) while the negative side effects increased dramatically (longer and sharper periods of irritability, agitation, and anxiety). I had to stop and no longer take Adderall; I am back on Provigil, but God knows how I will keep paying for it. For depression/fatgiue, I found Adderall to be a cheap but very short-term, rocky option. M 34 90 days

 2  Study for college exams My girlfriend took 30mg 2x within hrs of each other in order to study for her exams. She didnt sleep that night or the next day. The day after she ways really perky and excieted all day but didnt eat but only 2 eggs throught out the entire dosage. She took a nap because she was exausted in the early afternoon. An hr later I checked waking her up but she didnt respnod and also had a high BP of 110pm with respriations of only 4pm. We then tried again 20 min later to get her up and when she did she responded with hyperventilating. She couldnt catch her breath or talk for two min. She kept falling back asleep but we managed to keep her awake, and were ready to call an ambulance. She recoved shortly after(20-30 min) but has had a headche the rest of the next day. She wants ibephrophen but I'm just concerned becasue she only takes this to study. M 21 1 days

 3  ADD, fatigue, mood... (1 being most frequent, and likely the worst out of all) 1. Nearly constant teeth grinding, and chewing on my tongue and gums. They get raw and sore, but it's not real bad. 2. Seldom and light semen discharge during or after urinating or after bowel-movement. 3. Low/suppressed appetite, yet hungry. 4. Deprives me of my sleep!.. (I don't get tired that easily). 5. Unusual feelings in my heart, but not bad.. Adderall (cor 135) 20mg ( 2x daily ) I like how it temporarily relieves/alleviates my irritability and moods... to explain: I have to continually deal with an ex-wife that is trying to make my life worse by finding excuses and accusations as of why I should not be allowed to have joint custody with my wonderful 3yr old daughter :( "ugh"! Adderall actually helps to subdue my feelings and emotions about distressful situations, and helps me be more subtle... Another thing about Adderall, it can keep me awake for a long time, almost too long! Once it was nearly 40hrs without rest! (which can not be good, lol) :( It also helps me focus and stay on certain tasks a little easier, but I can still forget about some things too, so it doesn't help that much with my memory.... IMO, Adderall's goods outweighs it's bads, but not by much... I have mild Crohn's disease too, but it doesn't seem to affect it too much. M 29 24 days

Patient History
 4  Diag w/ ADD. Att. span of 13 yr old Increased anxiety at times. Up late at night if I take it too late. This has been the hardest medication to pin down. When I first take it, it calms me down, and I can focus. I become the go-to person in the office. Sometimes though, it creates anxiety if I don't take it exactly when I need it. It works for about 4 hours in my case. If I am busy at work, and I forget to take it exactly when it wears off, I become unable to make simple decisions. Anxiety kicks in, and I my mind goes a hundred miles an hour. I overthink simple decisions, and create more anxiety. I feel I rely on this medication too much. I also take klonopin to ease the anxiety. This helps. A little bit of advice. Do not forget to eat or drink water! If you don't eat or drink water throughout the day, your comedown off this medication is worse at the end of the day. I make sure to eat healthy and drink lots of water. M 34 6 months

 4  to be able to have a life..... Any side effects that I've expierenced are positve. More energy, calmness, able to focus at work and handle any situation that comes my way. Dry mouth but I needed to drink more water anyways. I wish I had been diagnosed in high school. I would've done better and succeeded in college. College was soo overwhelming for me that I just dropped out.... This medicine has definitely helped me focus at work but feel like maybe I need to up to 20mg. I tried concentra at first and that made me worse all around. I'm very grateful for what this medicine has done for me. F 35
