| 3 | Low energy and motivation | It helped get me going and motivated but it took a really high dose for it to work for me. Even the XR did not last very long for me causing me to take more mid-day. Had to remind myself to eat or drink and would get dehydrated very easily. | At high doses I would have semen leakage at the end of urinating. Very thick semen. | M | 31 | 3 months 75 MG 1X day | 12/9/2021 | 3 | , disorganized. | AT II OK,I AM THE MOTHER OF AN 8 YEAR OLD SON WHO IS CURRENTLY ON ADDERAL XR.IJUST WANT TO SAY,THAT HERE RECENTLY I REALIZED,THAT MY SON INHERITED ADD FROM ME,CUZ EVER SINCE I RESEARCHED THIS DISORDER AND MEDS,THAT OMG ,THATS SO ME!!!IVE TRIED TO TELL DOCTORS IVE SEEN THAT PLEASE HELP ME,THEY JUST LOOK AT ME LIKE IM JUST SOMEONE WHO DOESNT HAVE THIS DISORDER AND BRUSH ME OFF.WTF!!!I DROPPED OUT OF HIGHSCHOOL BECAUSE OF THIS FUCKING DISORDER,AND BACK THEN THEY DIDNT KNOW ABOUT ADD AD/HD,ACCORDING TO WHAT MY MOM TOLD ME.I HATE DOCTORS ONLY BECAUSE NOW | M | 8 | 1 months 5 | 3/26/2014 | 3 | ADHD inattentive | Blunted emotions when I take it (don't laugh as much), Hard to eat but remember to else you'll crash hard and doesn't work as much, increases addictive behavior such as smoking and a bit OCD when I take it. | It's helps when you use it for studying,productivity, etc. but it's easy to loose sight of what you started taking it for in the first place. In highschool I didn't use it as prescribed and grades actually went down. Helps to take it while your studying not before and if you have problems with self control let someone you trust hold it for you. There's gonna be a day where you WILL take 1 or 2 more than your supposed to think nothing of it, eventually over time you'll find yourself running out of your prescription within a week and regretting it. | M | 20 | 4 years 30 1xday | 11/3/2014 | 3 | ADHD | dramatic appetite and subsequent weight loss / sleeplessness / intense thirst / agitation | It's tricky, because Adderall has done some wonders for me, but not without it's heavy price. Most significantly: I am much, much more antisocial when I take Adderall. I used to be a hard partier, going out four nights a week. Now I go out once a month. I've lost touch with many friends. I get irritable or uncomfortable around people. I get very paranoid. I have a hellish sleep schedule. I was always lean, but I've lost about 20 lbs. I have to force myself to eat. And I crave liquids, especially sweet things like soda and energy drinks. I've become reckless. And it's addictive as all get out. There are many days I find myself taking twice my dose. If I run out early, I count down the days to my refill, finding myself incapacitated otherwise. But - I'm a junior at a prestigious college and I have straight As. My teachers rave about my work ethic and my dedication. It's boosted my sex drive significantly, as has my confidence. I juggle a full school schedule with several internships, side projects, a boyfriend, etc. My focus is often streamlined and my the work produced is high caliber. Ultimately - it's a double sided sword. Has it helped me? Enormously. Am I a different person than when I started taking it? Unquestionably, almost unrecognizably transformed. So seriously weight the consequences before you start. Because no matter how strong you think you are, the drug will suck you in. Some days, it's beyond worth it. Some days i'm in hell. | M | 20 | 1 years 20MG 2X day | 3/22/2014 | 3 | ADD PI | ED, trouble urinating, irritability, short term memory loss. Sexual urges, desire to try drugs and risky behaviors. | M | 40 | 3 years 30MG | 5/14/2016 | 3 | Sometimes couldnt sleep. Lack of appetite. Really really horney while on the adderrall. | Id end up getting little headaches sometimes an not sure why. Maybe need to drink more water an fluids and itll help | M | 22 | 7 days | 5/19/2016 | 3 | ADD | Cottonmouth for a little in early after you take it, I'm so used to Addy it goes away soon after it starts. Zombifacation. Mood swings, It Definatly does its job i could use a little more to make sure I'm always focused but for social reasons I'm opting to not. (my grades are falling though) Its horrible once you get physically dependent. id you don't take it you sleep for hours, I'm talking the whole day. It really isn't a good drug if your just saying why not let me just get some to "focus". its the devils drug like and i mean it is. you get to focus, but really your soul or your personality is taken away. Never hungry and thats why a healthy athletic active 18 year old 5'8young man like myself will remain 140 ibs. Depression, ANXIETY omg a lot of anxiety. i go through a lot everyday. really makes me sad and feel lonely and like everyones out to get me. but its not that bad if you learn how to just be like oh this is just a side effect i just gotta take a couple deep breath | I gotta take it for the rest of my life, no questions. even here in college, i am prescribed 2 a day just in case i need the second one, usually take one though, but then i can't fall asleep. so you say oh I'm gonna lay down 11:09 PM. next thing you know its 4:51 and your just like....... the hell am i supposed to now so i take a second pill. or if i just feel like staying up all night, lately (3 weeks now) i just take a pill at like 11 and i watch netflix all night and wonder why i feel alone, when the answers clear as day, its 3:12 in the morning, normal people are asleep. When you drink on it you can drink like 3 times as much as you normally would which is bad trust me, drunk on campus sad because my pill is wearing off i stood at the top of the parking garage saying i was gonna jump off all because i drank way more then i should have when i felt normal through the night. then when it wore off i felt every inch of the drunk and all the problems i was having with friends. I wish it wasn't so depent because then i would be a different person honestly. To be completely honest, my whole life has been a lie really, i say this as a joke to myself sometimes when I'm sad but it only makes me worse. "Your a robot, commanding orders during the day, but after the last bell rings you want people to see you for you and the person that you are at 8pm when your back to yourself." "you had a friend when you were in middle school that understood your problem and you didn't | M | 18 | 10 years 30 MG 1X day | 2/10/2016 | 3 | ADHD | muscle tension, joint aches. | I took this in combination with cymbalta to counteract the fatigue effects of the latter. This worked fabulously. I was awake and focused, with no more short term memory loss. I also did not suffer any crashes like I did with ritalin. The downside came with an increase in muscle tension and joint aches. My extremities constantly felt like I was fighting rubber bands to move them, and I had very uncomfortable pain in my joints. I tried to stick it out to see if I acclimated, but after three weeks, it was a no go. | M | 41 | 3 weeks | 8/30/2009 | 3 | Narcolepsy/insomnia and ADD | Main side effect= Joint pain. I had never had problems with my joints until I started taking this drug. The active ingredients are known to constrict the vessels in extremities( I definitely noticed my veins more constricted when i was on this ). Joints and connective tissue have a naturally poor blood supply and I believe this drug only compounded the problem. Im quite surprised that many more people have not come to the same conclusion. Second Major side effect= The day after I take this drug, I feel a bit more emotional and depressed than usual. Please be advised that all of the preceding side effects improved significantly once the following factors were optimized. Taking the optimal amount of only 5mg at about 2pm. This drug was prescribed to me for symptoms of narcolepsy/insomnia as well as ADD. | The drug improved in the areas of concentration somewhat, but mainly improved alertness. | M | 32 | 6 months | 10/19/2009 | 3 | Main side effect= Joint pain.

I have been taking adderall xr for almost four years off and on. The reason I took it on and off is because in my head, i felt like i was abusing it and I felt like it was making me zombie like....My grades have varied from 4.0 in undergrad college to 2.6. I have achieved a 4.0 while taking adderall xr one semester and a 4.0 while not taking it, likewise for the low grades too. Listen to me!! use alternatives, not meds for this, just exercise. I've noticed that when i exercise I feel the same effects from adderall WITHOUT ANY OF THE SIDE EFFECTS!! Believe me i am somewhat lazy at times but just exercise....because now i am stuck with grinding teeth which my girl notices everynight that has been going on since i started taking it. I also feel like i am maniac at times and fall into heavy depressive states...in all i hate that period of my life and when i get it i often throw half the bottle away because i feel mentally sick on it and coming down from it .... I WANT YOU TO DO YOUr RESEARCH!!!! its meant to hook you. YOU WILL REGRET TAKING THIS MEDICATION LONG TERM. Take it from someone who knows. i mean really really knows.... | M | 22 | 4 years | 10/27/2009 | 3 | Supposed ADD | Insomnia, flushing of face, anxiety, sweaty at random times, back pain, teeth grinding, depression, Loss of social interaction I only took this drug because I felt pressured from how my grades were and my parents when I was a freshman in high-school, my grades went from d/f's to B's and A's feeling like I was on-top of the world(especially after the first couple of months).. now a senior I feel like I'm really depended on it, this drug has messed my life up in every way possible. Yes I got those grades, but is it really worth it to now have anxiety, depression, dependents on adderal, secluding myself from society?... It's funny I talked to my doctor who prescribed me adderall and I told him I was addicted to it and that I want to get off it. All he said was that I couldn't get addicted to adderall and if my grades are good, he sees no reason to get off it... Advice, don't take more than your prescribed, even if you have to cram for an exam, trust me you will become dependent on that. Give your body a break from adderal, especially if you haven't been sleeping, sleep does wonders on your mood. Sometimes you have to say screw school and worry about yourself and your health. I mean you do live only once right?... | M | 18 | 3 years 30-60mg | 2/11/2014 | 3 | To focus at school | Loss of Appetite Headaches Frustration & Aggravation Addiction Insomnia Depression (mild-moderate) Anxiety Increased Blood Pressure Back pain | M | 16 | 4 months 30mg XR | 1/15/2014 | 3 | Recreation | Euphoria, Anticipation, Restlessness, Concentration, Mood Swings, Irritability, Depression, Fidgety | I tried adderall here and there for the first few years in college. Then I started buying more of it the past few years. I'll take about 20 mg every coupe of days On/Off. I take it mainly to get motivated and stay up for college classes, etc.. Some days it's great. I remain happy throughout the day, sociable, motivated, and focused. Unfortunately, it seems lately that I've been experiencing social withdrawal, zombie like thoughts, depression, irritability, and trouble concentrating. I take it because sometimes the benefits are so great, but the negatives are outright terrible. It's quite a strange drug b/c there are days where I experience no bad feelings, then there are times when the drug acts against me. I will probably quit soon. | M | 23 | 2 years | 12/14/2009 | 3 | Anxiety/ADD | Loss of Appetite (for first few months), Teeth Grinding, Irritability, Mood Swings, Dry Mouth | The drug is extremely effective at the beginning and still effective now (although somewhat less) after taking for 3 months. I'm currently taking around 75 mg a day. I used to get incredibly tired at all times during the day at work regardless of how much I slept but now I'm completely awake all day. I do believe that it makes me a lot more emotional about things that before hand wouldn't really phase me. For example this girl that I used to date and broke up with because I just got kind of tired and annoyed with her recently got a new boyfriend and I was unbelieveably upset, including crying (first time in probably 2 years) and an inability to get her out of my head. Some of it may have been real but it was definitely exascerbated by the drug. If I drink to much coffee with it I can get incredibly nervous and have a difficult time keeping one thought in my head at once. I think someone mentioned it before but it does sometimes feel like I can't concentrate on just one thing although all of the things that I'm thinking about I am concentrating on, if that makes sense. For instance I will do work for 15 minutes then go on the internet for a few minutes and keep switching back and forth. The difference on the meds however is that I can switch back to my work without trying to remember what I was doing. Overall I would say that the benefits outweigh any side effects. | M | 25 | 3 months | 12/14/2009 | 3 | For anxiety and scattered thoughts | The most noticeable side effect for me is dry mouth (especially swollen tongue), teeth grinding and very little desire to eat. | Does anyone else feel like they become somewhat obsessive on this med? For example I was taking at one point 90mg over the course of a day and I was preparing for the LSATs and became really into studying for it and always doing a ton of work, which is a good thing maybe. However,Then I found out that a girl I had previously been dating (who I actually broke up with because I was kindof over it) got a new boyfriend. For some reason I have been completely overwhelmed about not being together with her. I have cried a number of times, which I almost never do and can't stop thinking about her. I do think that part of it is a bit of regret for breaking it off but I also think its being exascerbated by the adderall. I hadn't cried in like 2 years. I feel like the higher dosage of adderall can cause some really serious depression. Some of it could be sparked by the stress of my life but I've been really feeling crappy. Has anyone else had similar effects? | M | 25 | 2 months | 12/3/2009 | 3 | ADHD, depression, overeating | First few days very talkative, and positive. 2nd day I cried when it was wearing off..dry mouth | Don't know what to make of this pill. I was on generic for a month and it was so so. I went on BARR this past week and at first it was EXCELLENT. I felt positive, motivated,upbeat.. not irritable & depressed like before. It made me focused and determined too. A week later those effects are getting weaker. I am feeling more depressed again, and irritable. It used to last for 6hours now about 1-2 hours. It worked for a few days and now it is stopping. NOT as strong as everyone says. Effects fade VERY fast. | M | 21 | 7 days | 3/23/2009 | 3 | adhd | none | none | M | 1 years | 5/9/2008 | 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 20 MG 2X day | 11/10/2010 Patient History | 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 15 MG 2X day | 12/11/2010 |
