| 3 | add | insomnia, heart racing, hyperfocused, inability to function without, excessive eating without, other substance abuse problems | adderall used to help me tremendoously for a year or so. Then I started having severe comedowns with pressure headaches when it wore off so I took anxiety meds. I went off adderall for the reason that the comedowns which didn't start till after a year of regular use. Tried stopping adderall and I was fatigued, concentration and motivation worse than ever before. These companies make you dependent on drugs..take adderall to get through school but then find something to do where you don't need drugs. It will have negative affects on your health. Adderall is a form of speed. | F | 24 | 2 years | 8/14/2005 | 3 | ADD/Fatigue | Sweating, loss of appetite, severe headaches, nausea, and extremely increased sex drive | I see that others are experiencing many of the same side effects as me, except for the increased sex drive. This is embarrassing. I have always been a highly sexual person, but now I cant stop thinking about it 24/7 and what makes it worse is that I dont currently have a partner. Is or has anyone else experienced this? | F | 37 | 3 days | 8/4/2008 | 3 | diagnosed with ADHD | At first, a intense high, kind of compared to ectasy but not with all the hightened senses. Clenched teeth, fidgety if not concentrating on work, extreme fatigue when coming down,irritability, and anxiety. | I don't think I really have ADHD because I was not a child with ADD. I was actually a pretty calm child. I had tried Adderall (the short-acting version) about 2 years ago and liked the energy it gave me. I started a new, demanding job and thought I was going to need something to help me have the energy. FYI: I've always had low-energy from very low-blood sugar levels. So, I tell the doc a story and he gives me Adderall XR. At first it gave me tons of energy but like many others have said, if you really don't have it that feeling wears off and you want to increase the dosage. Very bad idea! I've read quite a number of ridiculous comments on here about using it recreationally and how great it is. That's called a "drug addiction." I'm finally realizing that and am going to an outpatient clinic to give me tools to cope with my problems other than using drugs. I know its hard to do, because its easier to just take a pill. But, that innocent-looking pill can cause serious problem | F | 28 | 4 months | 7/12/2006 | 3 | ADD | alot of jitters, loss of appetite, sometimes feels like i can't get a good full breath | i have only been taking adderall for about 2.5 days and i just get really jittery for a while and sometimes feel like i can't take a good deep breath... from what i was reading i noticed that is pretty normal. i have also noticed a decrease in my appetite, i am the kind of person who is a worry-wart so of course when i see the negative side effects i panic and think that those will definently happen to me. but i really like the medicine so far i take 15MG a day and have noticed how i really can pay attention in class a lot better because before i normally fall asleep and don't do my work but the past couple days are going really well besides the little effects that i have gotten. i hope the jitters and the minor breathing situation goes away because i don't want to be worried anymore... please let me know what you all think if you have had the effects as well and if they have gone away or not... thanks a lot | F | 17 | 2 days | 11/1/2006 | 3 | Adult Add | Dry mouth, weight loss, anti-social | I have only been taking adderall for about 2 weeks one great thing I have to say is that I lost 11 lbs so far I seem to focus better sometimes once I get into a project or set my mind to something I become somewhat compulsive about getting it done. Its helped me to want to accomplish my goals more and to stop procrastinating about them.. school work is easier and things at work are going pretty good. On the down side I once the life of the party don't even feel like being around a lot of people I'm more quiet and almost zombie like my friends keep thinking somethings wrong cause I'm so quiet and to my self. I feel like I'd rather be at home tackling some home project or something so I kind of miss having that excited feeling about partying with my friends. another down side is comeing off the medication I get angry and real tired.. oh and when I'm on the medicine I feel like I'm on speed or something almost to the point it drives me crazy yesterday I almost started crying at work about | F | 26 | 15 days | 3/20/2007 | 3 | better focus | Better focus, weight loss, insomnia at times,fatigue at times, decreased appetite,easily irritated, muscle switching in face at night, dry mouth, pressure behind eyes after one hour of taking mediccine. numbness in hands at night | my boy friend takes it to. we now fight often. we seem to have no patience for each other or anyone. | F | 42 | 6 months | 10/4/2008 | 3 | ADD | really mean when it starts wearing off, no appetite | Adderall has helped me so much in school. The only problem is that you really have to force yourself to eat. When I first started taking the medication I didn't force myself to eat, and my metabolism when way down. When I finally took a break with the medicine I would eat EVERYTHING. I ended up gaining more weight than I started with. Also I would be extremely mean when it would start wearing off at around 5 in the afternoon. The medication works, there are just some side effects that come with it. Now I do not take adderall every day, but I still do whenever I need it. | F | 20 | 3 years | 10/21/2008 | 3 | to be more alert and productive | better concentration, weight loss, but also sometimes produces obsessive compulsiveness and paranoia. warning: this stuff gets addictive | It has helped me concentrate more on my studies and makes me a lot more inquisitive about things. i engage in philosophical, political and her such conversations with much more vigor and passion. but i also get more OCD at times, which causes me to waste a lot of unneccesary time. i also feel a bit paranoid when i use it. for example, i'll think that its worn off in my head and i'll feel like i need to use some more, sometimes even opening another capsule and swallowing some of its contents. so all in all, you have to be smart when taking this. | F | 21 | 1 years | 10/9/2008 | 3 | ADD, lack of motivation | I found I had to break 10mg pills in fourths! If I have coffee with it I am through the roof. I am afraid to exercise because I feel as if I could stroke out! I also experience awful rebound when it wears off. Hot, red, flushed face at odd times. Some disinterest in food, drink or socializing. I also pick at any irregularity in my skin...to the point where I bleed. The inside of one of my ears has been picked until swollen...I am not even aware that I am doing this. I was hoping for more motivation and haven't found it. I am able to stay on task longer. | I was on Ritalin for 10 years. After stopping for 6 months I decided I needed it again. Once I started up again it was NEVER the same. The rebound was awful. I had such high hopes with Adderall. I'm afaraid now that it isn't going to work! | F | 47 | 5 days | 10/20/2008 | 3 | inability to focus | anxiety, depression, apathy, weight loss, bad skin, increased desire to smoke | took adderall xr 20 mg; would go through life in a fog, had better ability to focus, but not much more than if i would put my mind to it without the drug. i feel like it stole my sense of humor and lightheartedness. when i started it that i was looking for an easy answer, but found there is none. i paid a price, too much, taking that pill. i'd rather do it on my own and retain my dignity and true self. i feel like i lost part of my life (when i was on the pills), b/c i just wasn't my self. i'll be damned if some pharm. company is going to profit off of me losing my soul. bottom line, i was a mere shadow of my former self when on the pills, now that i'm off, i can do things on my own terms. i just had to learn to trust myself. if you are a very introspective person like i am, please think twice about taking the easy (pill) way out. you can do it without it, just eat right, exercise, take care of yourself, and follow your bliss and you'll be ok. | F | 29 | 6 months | 10/27/2008 | 3 | ADD | Took it for the first time today and was waiting for the rush and the euphoria that I've read about and that the dr warned me about. Nothing. I was wide awake but that's really all I felt. Even took a nap about 5 hours after taking it. Will continue on with it and see what happens. | F | 44 | 10mg 1X day | 6/30/2012 | 3 | Add | F | 1 days 10mg | 1/25/2013 | 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 | 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 | ADD | Tired (Late afternoon) Personality change, Moody, Loss of appitite, Trouble sleeping at night | I don't seem to want to go out with my friend anymore and they have all notices.I also have a restless mind at night so it's hard to sleep.I get really tired late afternoon. I have also had problems with my contacts they seem to start bothering me late afternoon as well and i've had them for about 4 years, and that just began after the medication.However I am doing much better in school grade have jumped a lot.And i don't have to study nearly as long as I used to.But I have gotten sick 6 times since I have startedthe medication to the point when I would miss classes. And ive only been on it for 5 months. Should I stay on it or not? Please email me with any advice | F | 20 | 5 months | 3/6/2006 | 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 | 3 | ADD | Positive: increase in focus and motivation. Negative: rapid weight loss, heart palpitations if taken w/o food, increased irritability coupled with a raging temper if provoked, days blending together, loss of short term memory, jaw clenching, OCD tendencies w/ cleaning and skin picking, headaches and tenseness in neck, bad withdrawals if not taken reg. (no satiation, lack of motivation to leave bed, irritability, confusion), need I go on? | F | 26 | 6 years 10mg | 5/23/2012 | 3 | attention/impulsivity issues,school | dry mouth for the first 4 hours, mild-moderate increased hostility, facial numbness(partial), lack of patience for illogical people or behaviors | Focused, driven, calm...(calm except when experiencing hostile tendencies when triggered). I find that I am very logical and enjoy practical problem solving much more than before. I find that I no longer have a skill/flair for story telling. I have always been highly creative and expressive. On adderall, I simply am not the same wordsmith I used to be, my skills in logic, (law based-my job area) is heightened, but I can't string together empathy based theories. That loss of expression is especially disturbing because I always enjoyed that skill. | F | 33 | 5 months 20MG XR 1X day | 4/20/2012 | 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 | 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 |
