| 5 | ADD | sleeplessness, loss of appetite, difficulty socializing. | I have been on Adderall for over 10 years. I started taking it when a variety of other drugs did not help or had bad side effects. When I began taking it, it was still a 'triplicate perscription', meaning the state was keeping track of how many people took it. I take drug vacations now and then. My longest was almost a year, it was a mistake... my life quickly became self destructive... I couldn't concentrate on things as simple as paying bills. I went through a stage trying herbal alternatives, fish oils, etc... nothing quite puts me at the productivity level that adderall does (and with that, comes self satisfaction). Dealing with the side effects is not always easy - but is definatly worth it in my case. My sleeping schedule may not be regular, but I have found much success in my work. I have no formal schooling, but am a self-taught software developer. I've been with the same firm for 7 years, make between $75-$100K/yr depending on projects and investments. Pretty goo | M | 25 | 10 years | 8/24/2006 | 5 | supplement my antidepressant | You can get hypomanic on this drug, so you have to use some discipline. | This is a fine drug. Four mixed salts of amphetamine can't be all bad! (Just kidding.) Seriously, it focuses your mind, elevates your sex drive, improves your mood, helps you concentrate on long drives, and you can break dance - quite well - on your first try. Getting an Rx for this difficult if you're not a bona fide ADHD (which I'm not). My shrink is not intimidated by the potential for criticism if he thinks something is helping me, so I lucked out. Love the stuff. | M | 58 | 12 months | 3/24/2006 | 5 | Depression | Edginess. Does NOT have the nausea associted with Pemoline. May have a long term rebound effect on the sinuses ??? | A life saver. Low doses are best, half recommended. Helped concentration, increased confidence, reduced fatigue. But it is not a magic bullet and the willpower comes from inside. Wouldn't do for chaotics or dependent types. Illegal in the UK. Would cause social disorder if the chaotics mixed it with alcohol, so its illegal status is understandable. | M | 27 | | 3/31/2006 | 5 | ADHD, Appetite Suppression | Side effects were present but limited to a harsh, time-consuming come down (unlike ritalin which is more intense come down but for a shorter length of time). Caused me anxiety and agitation. | While I have written what looks like a substantial laundry list of complaints, Adderall and Adderall XR have been my WONDER DRUGS! Nothing I have EVER tried (except for addictive benzos) has helped at all for anxiety/depression. And out of the half dozen or so ADHD meds I've tried, it's a close call between short-acting Dexedrine and (time-release Adderall). The XR takes about 90 minutes to kick in...and come down varies wildly between 6 and 12 hours for me! XR loses effectiveness quickly. Short-acting adderall works about as short time as Ritalin for me...I'd might be in my system for several more hours, but the initial high is mitigated extremely quickly by come down after an hour or two. Proper dosage hard to determine (unlike XR). | M | 22 | 3 years | 1/8/2006 | 5 | ADHD | First couple of weeks agitation when wearing off in evening, then went away. Just slight decrease in appetite. Still eats very well just not as much snacking which he used to like to do often. | My son has been on it a month, he is doing great in school. Adderall xr 10mg in morning. Getting all of his work done in school. Socially he has done better, anger has greatly decreased especially the last few weeks. Still has healthy appetite and sleeps great. I am amazed how much it has helped him. | M | 10 | 30 days | 11/6/2006 | 5 | ADD | dry mouth, nerviousness, dry mouth, insonomia, dry mouth, tight chest | I have found adderall to be the best treatment for my ADD. I have had ADD my entire life and did not realize it until a doctor tested me in 2002. Since then I have tried many different medications. Many of the SSRI's did not work for me. They made me tired and I gained weight with them which did not sit right with me. Ritilan worked, but the waves of up and down througout the day were too difficult to deal with. I take Adderall XR 20 once a day in the morning. My doctor has said that I can take up to 2 a day. If I do this for multiple days, I cannot sleep and by day three or four I am VERY anxious. Also I can develop a tightness in my chest that I know is because of the tension and anxious felling that I am experiencing with this medication. I have taken the medication for about 2 1/2 years and I have developed dry mouth with the medication. Throughout the day, it seems I cannot quench my thurst. My mouth seems raw and things have a metal taste at times. Never in my life ha | M | 43 | 2 years | 11/20/2006 | 5 | ADHD | First couple of weeks agitation when wearing off in evening, then went away. Just slight decrease in appetite. Still eats very well just not as much snacking which he used to like to do often. | My son has been on it a month, he is doing great in school. Adderall xr 10mg in morning. Getting all of his work done in school. Socially he has done better, anger has greatly decreased especially the last few weeks. Still has healthy appetite and sleeps great. I am amazed how much it has helped him. | M | 10 | 1 days | 11/6/2006 | 5 | ADD | * I've used adderall for 4 years; usually one 25mg dose each morning, and sometimes 5 or 10 mg about 8 hours later; I don't use XR as it puts too much strain on my "metabolism" and wears me out; I'm 46 years old. * I take adderall Monday to Sat., but never on Sunday, to give my body a break. I am totally exhausted--mentally and physically--on Sundays. I usually sleep about 12 hours Sat. night, and another 4 to 5 hours on Sunday afternoon. I often get depressed on Sunday afternoon, but it is always gone by Monday morning. * my experiences with adderall withdrawl, having stopped taking it for 8 days now: lately, on the days I take adderall, I get *very* tired starting early evening, and usually just watch TV. To become more productive in the evenings, I am going off adderall as an experiment. I have not taken it for 8 days now. I sleep about 12 hours every night due to being *very* tired in the morning. I have more energy in the evenings now. I'm not experiencing | M | 46 | 4 years | 12/1/2006 | 5 | ADHD | STAYING AWAKE FOR LONG HOURS,Being Focused for hours at a time,And weight loss(the weight loss lost it's effects after a year or so) It was easyier to start smoking and was addicted to smoking, I am Addicted to Adderall, But i feel really good and am always getting good ideas and evan started a secussful money making idea, I can say that adderall has helped me with focus + A intellagent mind it makes me super grateful | It also helps if your over weight and u have ADHD because it speeds up your motabalism | M | 16 | 4 years | 10/17/2006 | 5 | help with school | dry mouth, shrinkage (guys you know) | really does help with concentration and staying awake in school, if you can get by without it though, do | M | 15 | 5 months | 2/6/2006 | 5 | adhd | Anxiety | M | 56 | 4 years 20 | 1/2/2012 | 5 | ADD | Not knowing what my life would have been like without it. Being "better" and "focused" thanks to a drug. Taking the "miracle" pill every morning knowing that I would be "normal" with it. Without it, the day wouldnt stray far from re couch, unless I had to do something, like work or school. Here's a side effect, at age 11 or so, you told you have ADD, your overweight, no friends at school, life sucks. After a few trials with different kinds, adderall seemed to "fit" my needs. I lost weight, focused, and made friends, had fun. Life was awesome. Life has been awesome. But at what cost? What will I be like in 10 years? Will I have heart issues? Will my thyroid be a mess? Are my kidneys slowly rotting away? I take the prescribed amount. I'm scared to not Be on them because it's all iv ever known. I feel great, stay active, but is it me or just the pills. 10 years of stimulant use, growing up not knowing about it and what they truly were until 2 years ago.. That's my side effect. | M | 21 | 10 years 30mg | 2/3/2012 | 5 | ADHD | just thirst, but besides that it was very effective! Now the drug is unavailable where I live and I am forced to take vyvanse. Vyvanse is not helping me focus or get any of my necessary daily tasks accomplished. I feel my ADHD is not under control at this point, which it had been prior to taking vyvanse. | M | 30 | 5 years 20mg 1X day | 12/10/2011 | 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 and weight loss | I have enjoyed the appetite supression and the calming effect I have gotten towards my ADHD | I understand the market and how dangerous it may be toward addicts! It almost puts me to sleep when I take it. | M | 34 | 14 days 10 mg 2X day | 4/12/2012 | 5 | ADD | Lack of appetite. I have a slight headache but don't know if it's the drug. | I have NEVER written a review here before but have read many for several different drugs. I just cleaned the #@%* out of my house. We're talking mopping, windows, closets, boxing stuff up for Goodwill. The whole nine yards. I can't remember the last time I have done something like this. Maybe never. I don't feel 'high', I just keep doing stuff. I rewired all my electronics and put my Tivo,Surround sound system, and PS3 INSIDE my Entertainment center as opposed to having it on top. THEN I decided to write a review. Crazy. Me likey. | M | 49 | 2 days 10 2X day | 4/27/2012 | 5 | ADHD | Slight diarrhea in the beginning. Was drinking too much water. Everything's fine now. That's it. | Always have known I suffer from ADHD. This was a drug I was very afraid to try. I suffer such horrible anxiety and insomnia that I thought I would never tolerate this. Turns out a chunk of my anxiety was caused from my ADHD. Xanax had been the answer before. Then I tried Adderall IR. My mind was more at peace than with Xanax. I time my last dose to wear off before bed, so I use the "crash" to go to sleep, although it's not really a crash, and sleep like a rock. I'm much more calm, more pleasant to be around. Stress doesn't seem to bother me as much and I don't procrastinate. All the possible negative side-effects I have not experienced. No insomnia, irritability, weight-loss, (maybe 4lbs in 3 months), BP and heart rate are also @ or under 120/80. My only complaint is how this med is so affected by stomach/body pH and the things I can and can't eat/drink while on it. | M | 36 | 3 months 15mg 2X day | 5/23/2013 | 5 | ADD | Dry mouth Appetite Insomnia (TAKE MELATONIN!) | I take it for ADD and it's the best thing for me because I can actually succeed in school. I went from a D/F student to an A/B student! I would take it 30-45 minutes before school and then it'd kick in right in time! | M | 16 | 3 months 15MG 1X day | 8/10/2012 | 5 | depression and ADD | Dry throat and hotbot addictive | M | 34 | 6 years 40 | 10/1/2012 | 5 | ADD | Loss of hunger. | It's easy to abuse but people who realy need it most likely won't abuse it. Taking a double dose for a test or quiz helps a lot, but don't do it more tha once every 2 1/2 weeks or more is what I go by. | M | 15 | 6 years | 8/31/2005 |
