| 5 | ADHD | Difficult urnination. Trouble sleeping. | I have been told for much of my adult life that i have ADD and should do something about it. Recently, my boss of many years retired. He knew how to work with my distractible nature and only gave me short tasks to work on. That worked well for many years, but my new boss expected me to act like a normal adult. No mater how much I tried, I couldn't sit still and pay attention in meetings or complete long tern tasks. I told the doctor about it and he started me on Adderall. What a difference it has made. I can sit through entire days of meetings without making a fool of myself. If I had started taking this years ago, I would have been much farther in my career. I don't take it on weekends, since I don't need to pay attention to much. I have tried the immediate and extended release (XR). The doc started me on 10mg 3 times a day of the immediate release, but the insurance company wanted me to only take 10 twice a day, so the doc put me on 20 of XR. I liked the 10s better, becau | M | 51 | 3 months | 10/5/2006 | 5 | ADD, fatigue, exhaustion | Dry Mouth. | Helped a great deal in making me feel "normal" again. I can concentrate on tasks, multi-task, stay organized. It totally eliminates the fatigue and exhaustion and restores my motivation. Only negative is that when the effects start to wear off, they do so rapidly and I drop like a stone off a cliff. | M | 44 | 9 months | 10/24/2008 | 5 | ADHD | Anxiety. Headache and anger as medicine wears off. | I was diagnosed with ADHD my second year of university. My doctor prescribed Adderall, and I immediately noticed a difference. Adderall helps me start my day, and helps me remain attentive and focused in class and when working on projects. My social life has also improved, and I feel more outgoing. Sometimes I get mild anxiety from Adderall, as I also have panic disorder. I also get annoyed easily as the drug wears off in the evening, but it generally hasn't been a problem. Overall, my experience with this drug great and would encourage anyone whose doctor recommends it to give it a try. | M | 20 | 12 months | 10/22/2008 | 5 | adhd, im takeing adderall XR | dry mouth, jittery, intense need for a cig, unpatient, getting annoyed by everything when it is wearing off, WEIGHT LOSS. | I have been taking adderral XR since i was in 5th grade. i weighed 115 before i took it, 1 month later i weighed 80 pounds, it can make your weight drop drastically. im now in 9th grade and it helps me a lot with my school work. it keeps me focused and it just gives me like a intense happy feeling like it just changes your mood. i have a problem with smokeing tho, and i found out that whenever i take my meds, a little while later you are just craving it so badly. but this is a very good medicine, it helps you to focus and keeps you awake. | M | 15 | 4 years | 10/25/2008 | 5 | Apathy, ADHD, Depression | Dependancy/classic meth/stimulant addiction potential (obviously), swift tolerance increase, occasional minor chest pains after long sessions of heavy lifting/moving, loss of appetite (duh). | Had I been prescribed this back in High School I've no doubt my life and the directions it took would've been drastically beneficial, emotionally and functionally. Sadly my parents and their combined inability to understand my symptoms and listen to me shrieked at the mention of medicinal approaches and instead blamed me rather than helped me. Typical "Time Magazine parents." Like many here, my grades were pathetic and teachers would tell my parents that I exhibited a "brutal" level of intelligence, but showed no motivation to utilize and cultivate it. As I drudged through HS with finger-pointing parents depression hit and I found more motivation in demotivating myself with things like weed, painkillers, and other downers. College came and went drug free with my "C's get degrees, as do D's" philosophy and I joined the rat-race and began working after graduating. I finally lost my ability to function and took matters into my own hands, (long story short) an | M | 26 | 1 years | 10/6/2008 | 5 | ADD | great focus, decreased appetite, decreased libido (sex drive), difficulty sleeping while Adderall is still active | I struggled academically in the beginning of middle school without Adderall. I found myself not wanting to complete my essays and questioning the importance of my assignments and my schooling. Since I've been on Adderall, I've been way more focused. Unfortunately, I developed this mentality that "something was wrong with me," and that I needed the drug to stay sane and normal. Without it, I was never sure what I might do. The decrease in appetite actually formed a minor addiction or emotional dependency. I loved it. Still do. My grades are great, I can stay focused when working out, and have never looked better. | M | 17 | 4 years | 12/31/2008 | 5 | ADD | Jittery, Anxiety, OCD, Weight loss (30 lbs),VERY IRRITABLE, Loss of Appetite. | Adderall has helped me a great deal! I do feel anxious, paranoid, jittery, obsessive compulsive, and irritable. Though the irritability is not consistent. Some days I feel Awesome! Though others start off great and end awful and depressive. But I have learned that these are only side effects, the way you feel can be controlled if you keep the right mind-set, no matter how hard it "feels." Smiling Face = Happy Place. | M | 17 | 12 months | 3/31/2008 | 5 | add | My liver hurts a lot. My heart beats fast. Sweating,dependency loss of appetite. Blurred vision | *** PLEASE READ**** Been on some sort of a.d.d medication sense i was 5. Yes it is very helpful and and i am very focused when on it. I do believe it helped me get threw high school and into college but there are long term side effects. I started wearing glasses at age 14. No one in my family wears glasses. Even stopped growing at 16, Now at age 19 i started havening liver and heart problems and i sweat when it's not even hot, only when I'm on it. Honestly I'm not sure if it was all worth it, but i am were i am today because of it. If you do have any question about this drug please email me and i will help as much as i can | M | 20 | 16 years | 3/21/2008 | 5 | Adult ADHD | Grinding Teeth, energy, focus, no anxiety, happy, Honestly...My mind feels 100% clear, no fog, no stuttering, I feel *normal*. | This drug has saved my life, I felt awful when Ritalin failed, felt helpless. Here in michigan it seems to be a huge pain in the ass to obtain it, had to go back and fourth 3 times to the doc and the pharmacy over missing numbers and two different inks on the prescription. Adderall combined with anti-depressents made me feel weird. The side effects do go away, all I can say is...I feel normal. | M | 21 | 6 months | 3/16/2008 | 5 | Adult ADD | Inevitable Addiction. | In real medical literature, 70% of bipolar people have ADD. So once a bipolar diagnosis is made, ADD is considered strongly as a co-disorder. More women than men, disproportionate left-handed people, and other things. The Adderall will remove ADD from your life for about six months. Then you have a tolerance to it, and find ways to get MORE. You take more to get the same feeling, you become a junkie. It's not a matter of "if" you will become a junkie taking Adderall, it's a matter of how long it takes to become one. | M | 42 | 9 months | 1/12/2008 | 5 | add | dry mouth, rare sensitivity to extreme temperatures. | it is great i have no problem sitting though classes and my fidgeting has actually decreased a great deal. social paranoia also gone. i can have much more in depth conversations with people and actually listen to what they are saying. i cant think of anything negative about this drug besides a little drymouth in the morning. only other thing is dont take when you are driving long distances i concentrate to much on the road and cant sit back and enjoy the ride like i can when i am not on it. | M | 21 | 4 months | 3/3/2008 | 5 | ADD | Insomnia, super libido, eye twitches,bigger erections, fat loss, euphoria,and somewhat decreased appetite. | I was Rx'd this for ADD and it helps tremendously. I feel much more social and my libido is at porn star levels (it was somewhat low at the start)! I don't get any vasoconstriction with this, but if you do, you can counter it with Ginko and Horny Goat Weed (50% Icariin). Sometimes I take it with L-Tyrosine and D,L Phenylalanine. I have been able to get good benefits with a much smaller dosage. This is important because it provides the raw materials for your body to make Dopamine and Adderall will deplete you Dopamine levels with a quickness. I also noticed increased fat loss (I'm into bodybuilding so this is a plus). I used to use Ephedrine and I would be able to focus, but I never put two and two together and never thought I might have ADD. I am on a low dose, which I feel is fine. I think the more side effects come with the higher dosing that I have seen here. | M | 30 | | 11/29/2008 | 5 | ADD | Loss of Apetite / Excess Energy and I seem to crash when I come off of it | This drug has been a wonder drug I do better at work I can talk to people and I can focus long enough to watch televesion. I highly recomend this drug to anyone with ADD! My freinds joke and say I should quit my job and become and Adderall Rep! I can't say enough good about it. It has completely changed my life | M | 27 | 3 months | 11/17/2008 | 5 | to get hard | well i took three 30 mg's and i was hard for like 3 hours it was great ill never stop taking them | i buy them off my cus | M | 14 | 14 months | 4/14/2008 | 5 | ADHD | NONE UNLESS YOU CONSIDER BEING NORMAL A SIDE EFFECT | IF IHAD BEEN DIAGNOSED PROPERLY WHEN I WAS YOUNG LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT, FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IF YOUR EXPERIENCING HIGHS AND LOWS THIS DRUG IS NOT FOR YOU. I TO SLEEP WHEN I AM TIRED, WHICH IS NORMALLY 16 HOURS AFTER I WAKE AND I WAKE UP VERY EASILY. I DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE SIDE EFFECTS THAT HAVE BEEN MENTIONED IN THE OTHER COMMENTS. MAKE SURE YOU OR YOUR CHILD ACTUALLY HAS ADD OR ADHD. I AM BETTER THAN EVER AND NO SIDE EFFECTS. | M | 44 | 90 days | 11/11/2007 | 5 | ADHD (non-hyperactive; ADD) | Dry Mouth, Anxiety, Susceptiblilty to Hypoglycemia, Severe loss of Appetite | I would recommend taking Adderall if you NEED it, I had a rough couple first weeks testing different doses and such, I'm on the highest prescribed dose for Adderall XR. It helps me function in my college classes with exceptional ability. I highly reccommend eating before taking as I could hardly look at food let alone eat while I am "on" Adderall. This substance can be highly addictive so I routinely wean on the weekends, which means I simply don't take it. This method also helps greatly when it comes to effectiveness and extremity of side effects. Parents: Do not let your young(under 16) children have possession of the entire prescription as they may have issues in taking it. Also parents, help your kids understand why they want to take it, not why the doctor says they should, ADHD may sound like it will make them an outsider. Also, just a helpful hint to all you teenagers my age, don't drink or smoke marijuana while you are taking adderall, it's not the kind of high you wou | M | 18 | 3 years | 10/29/2007 | 5 | ADHD Inattentive Type/ depression | First couple days: Cold hands and feet and slight stomach cramps. After that: Increased sweating, difficulty falling asleep, slightly decreased appetite (this is not a bad thing), faster heartbeat. | Although I am skeptical about medications as a whole, adderall XR 20mg has really made a positive difference in my life so far and has worked wonders for my particular imbalance. Before I was sluggish/tired, depressed, had difficulty concentrating and remembering even simple things, and didnt have much desire to socialize. After taking this med, I am more social, active, motivated and able to organize and concentrate. I am not depressed or nearly as anxious while taking it. I take breaks for a day or two at a time from the med just to ensure my body is getting enough rest since adderall seems to decrease my quality of sleep, and I also supplement with many vitamins/minerals and take a formula with 5HTP at night to counteract the possibility of the drug depleting chemicals in the body. | M | 26 | 3 months | 10/30/2008 | 5 | ADD/ODD | None | M | 6 | 90 days | 9/5/2007 | 5 | ADD | Dry mouth and Loss of appetite. | Dose: 40 mg (not sure if it is right or not but sounds right) "normal" Adderall 5th - 10th grade. 30mg Adderall XR Nov. 2 - Presnt I just started taking Adderall again. I had taken it when i was younger from around 5th grade - 8th grade and had also taken Ritalin for ADD my 4th grade year but switched to Adderall because i started getting head aches at the end of the day after the Ritalin wore off. Anyway after my grades started to drop this semester i started noticing that i was having trouble focusing in class and could not get my homework done on time and if i did it was always done "half-assed". I decided to try adderall again (the reason i got off of it in 8th grade was because i thought i didn't need it anymore not because of side effects) and so far it was worked wonders. I am able to pay attention in class and i actually do my homework now and i don't "half-ass" it anymore.
