| 2 | Adult ADD | loss of appetite, dry mouth, insomnia, mood swings (esp. irritability & anger) & personality changes, feeling 'wired', increase in depression, increase in headaches/muscle tension, vomiting/anxiety/flu-like symptoms after drinking caffeine | The few benefits I received from Adderall XR (increased focus, better short-term memory, weight loss) simply did not outweigh its numerous side effects. I was prescribed 10mg/2X daily, but soon cut back to 1X daily (morning only) due to severe insomnia. Unfortunately, this led to afternoon crashes which made me irritable, depressed, 'spacey' and lethargic (but not lethargic enough to get any sleep.) I also developed tension headaches and had severe muscle tension in my neck/shoulders. Twice I decided to drink some caffeine to counteract the fatigue...BIG mistake! It made me vomit, and I felt drugged out & just plain sick for about 10-12 hours afterward. I just didn't feel like myself while taking this drug - and I definitely never experienced any high/euphoria like others have reported. After I tapered off gradually, I finally felt normal (albeit spacey & forgetful) again. I'll miss the easy weight loss, but this med just isn't worth it for me. | F | 37 | 3 months | 11/11/2008 | 2 | ADD | DRY MOUTH! Cold hands and feet. Dizziness, nausea, upset stomach. Loss of appetite, headaches, confusion, and memory loss. SEVERE MOOD SWINGS, IRRITABILITY, AND AGGRESSION!!! | I used to be a good student, but I always felt like I had to put way more effort into it because I just couldn't pay attention or sit down to read. The school's doc put me on Adderall & it helped me focus, but now I can't remember things & I get confused easily! I feel like I have to try even harder now to remember what I just studied. I’m not a moody person & I've always been VERY patient & kind, but now I'm very irritable & mean. I get frustrated when I’m confused & it makes the moodiness worse. It is destroying me!!! I DO NOT ABUSE THE MEDS! My doc has adjusted the dosage to see if would help & I ALWAYS follow the directions. Changing the dosage didn't work, so he just switched me to the Adderall EX. (started 2 days ago) Hopefully, it will ease the side effects. | F | 28 | 7 months 20mg 2X day | 11/2/2010 | 2 | Adderall 30mg XR | Headache, extreme anger and impatience and depression | I have ADD and this drug completely messed up the last two days of my life. I didn't feel any more focused or awake than usual, only super angry and annoyed with things that normally wouldn't. I am going to try Ritalin. | F | 35 | 2 days 30mg 1X day | 7/17/2010 | 2 | ADD & Reading disability | Dehydrated, very irritable | It worked amazingly the first day. The second day, not so good, but I tolerated the side-effects. As I continued, the side-effects became worse and worse and the drug did not even help me stay productive anymore. I quit. I took it on and off, in hopes that maybe I'd see a difference. nope. | F | 21 | 2 weeks 10mg 1X day | 7/28/2010 | 2 | weight loss, annoyed by the smallest, most non-annoying things (people, sounds, light), jaw clenching, trouble staying asleep, mood swings | At first, Adderall was the most amazing thing that happened to me. For the first time in my life, I was able to concentrate and do so much in such a short amount of time. After college ended, it became a burden. I realized I had to take it in order to simply wake up in the morning. I focused on the dumbest things, and never got anything accomplished. I stopped taking it 5 months ago when my insurance would no longer cover the drug. Best thing for me ever! I am so much happier, confident, and productive. Adderall makes you feel amazing while you're on it, then when you're off it, you sink deep into depression. And who wants to be on a drug for the rest of their lives just to feel happy? No one. | F | 23 | 3 years 20 MG 1X day | 7/19/2010 | 2 | ADD | Adderall made my mouth numb, but painful, and made my teeth and gums feel oddly achy and sometimes cold, like blood wasn't circulating to them well enough. I stopped the drug and after the numbness wore off, tried it again for just one day. The achiness and numbness began the next morning (even though I didn't take Adderall that day) and remained for the next 1.5 days. When I took Adderall for an extended period of time, the numbness and achiness grew worse, and my mouth tasted odd as well. | F | 30 | 5 months 10 2X day | 3/10/2010 | 2 | ADHD | Increased cig. smoking | I've been on Adderall XR, 10mg 1x per day, for 2 weeks and it has had NO effect on me at all! No improvement! I thought (and my Doc)that it would have an even stronger effect(it should have) since I also take Provigil-4 narcolepsy. I still fidget endlessley, can't sit still, begin a million projects and finish none, have no concept of time, no focus for more than very short periods, increased smoking from 1pk a day to 2pks. I hope I just haven't been on it long enough. Does anyone recall how long it was before the med. began working for them? | F | 36 | 2 weeks | 11/12/2006 | 2 | Adult ADHD | Severe stomach pains. I felt like somebody was gutting me. I experienced a lot of nausea and aches all over my body. | It eased my symptoms slightly, but it was not worth all of the side effects. When I was taking it I felt like my stomach was being ripped out. I felt like this throughout the duration I took the medication, and for about a week after I ceased taking it (doctors orders). | F | 21 | 7 days | 5/20/2006 | 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 | Idiopathic hypersonamalence | I have only been taking this medication for 5 days. I feel as if someone just finished sneaking up behind me and scared me. That bounding heart rate, fullness in the ears and slight shakey feeling. It also unsetteles my stomach and makes me crave salty foods. I cannot believe that what I just described would lead any one to an addiction. I have also noticed that my eyes feel dry and I often feel cold. The pharmacist that I talked to thought after a few days the bad feelings would go away, I hope she is right. I have to take 40mg in divided doses to stay awake during the day. It seems to have helped with my pain from osteoarthritis. | If this med causes me to loose weight I may just have to suffer with the other side effect for a while | F | 40 | 5 days | 9/21/2005 | 2 | sever a.d.d | harsh lack of appetite (though i learned how to "remind" myself to eat), increased heart rate, shakiness after an hour or so, but MOST noteably:: about between 4 to 6 hours after initially taking the drug i would become SEVERELY depressed. i would think things that i would NEVER think under normal circumstances (like dropping out of college, or thinking that i will never amount to anything in life). sever irritability in the begining (i am a naturally VERY easy going person). paranoia. dry mouth. basically this drug turned me into a different person. i lost my sense of humor and everything about myself that i loved. | this pill was wonderful and TERRIBLE. it did make me want to work, and accomplish things that i wouldnt when i was not taking the pill, but the "crash" when it was wearing off was the most unbearable feeling i've ever expierienced. i would feel such overwhelming depresssion and urge to break into tears constantly. my boyfriend would ask what was wrong and even though deep down i desparately wanted to tell him that it was the aderall, i never could because though i was bursting with infomation, i never wanted to talk to anyone after the "crash". this drug immensely harmed my relationship, i hated it. | F | 20 | 7 months | 1/25/2007 | 2 | sever a.d.d | harsh lack of appetite (though i learned how to "remind" myself to eat), increased

then 45. It never helped. I don't think I have ADHD though. But I definitely did not like the feeling of hypoglycemia, shaky and dizzy. I was also able to sleep no matter what time I took it. Don't know why in the world people get addicted to it, but as I've said in other posts, everyone reacts different to drugs. | F | 31 | 4 days | 1/11/2006 | 2 | ADHD | Weight Loss, Head Pressure, Nose Bleeds, Itchy scalp, Sore Muscles, Stomach Pain, Exhausted while it wore off, Increased desire to smoke, Increase desire for sex, Cold Clammy Hands & Feet, Dry Mouth, Very Sore Jaw, Very Irritable, Mood Swings | I do not know what to think of this drug. Within the 1st two hours- I feel amazing. It's all downhill from there. I focus on stupid stuff that don't matter. I think and talk way too much. When it wears off, all I wanna do is sleep- which I can't do. When I do sleep, waking up is the hardest thing. It makes me very irritable- even someone asking me a question makes me very annoyed. | F | 16 | 2 months 35 MG 2X day | 12/29/2011 | 2 | ADHD | Dry mouth, jaw clenching, happiness(for 2 hours then goes away), severe anxiety, weight loss, depression, headaches, jaw pain. Adderall really works for the first 2-3 hours. Then it starts to wear off and i just crash and dont wanna do anything but sleep which doesnt work out too well in school. Since i just started it were playing with the dosages a little. I started at 10 and now im on 30. If the 30 makes no difference, my doctor recommended Concerta | F | 16 | 3 months 20 MG | 3/14/2012 |
