| 3 | ADD | Loss of appetite, weight loss, moodiness (dull, quiet, irritability), fluctuation of emotions - got quite emotional sometimes, dry mouth, insomnia, and increased libido, Excessive bowel movements. | I agree with a lot of these comments. The medication works, it kept me focused, I read faster then ever, and retain the information. I was more focused, less scattered brained, and was able to stay on task better. The downfalls, you take it and it keeps you awake and wanting to do what you are suppose to do. You start to realize you are not hungry, for some reason I got really horny (doc says because it is a stimulant). I did not eat all day, went to my classes, came home was still not hungry, and this was only 10 mg. I started getting extremely tired, didn't want to talk to anyone, and just get teary eyed, and emotional about the most ridiculous things. I would be irritated if people talked to much, although I am the person who usually talks to me. Finally, at the end of the night I try to go to sleep but it takes me a long time, although when i finally do its some of the best sleep i get. Tiredness might be due to the fact that I didn't eat all day, so before you take it e | M | 21 | 2.5 years | 5/23/2008 | 3 | ADHD | Mild euphoric effect, like i drank couple cups of coffee but less scatterbrained more focused. After taking the first dose, can see clearly the positive effect it will have on my focus however immediatly recognize the shocking relationship with a methamphedimine high. | Well this med is Speed, I think that if you have a history of ever abusing any kind of uppers you will eventually be using it recreationally. This drug is very addicting if abused and ive only been taking it for about a week and have already used it recreationally not the drug for me... Basically this drug is very benificial and effective if used correctly, but i urge people who have even mildly addictive personalities to be very very carefull. | M | 23 | 2 weeks | 11/11/2008 | 3 | ADD | Weight Loss, (only in the begining) Dry mouth, Jitters, Excessive talking, Abnormal feelings of "well being" | I started taking Adderall XR 20 mg once daily in 2002.. Initially I lost quite a bit of weight, as I was almost never hungry. It helped a lot with my focusing. But over time the negatives started to come out. In 2006 i was becoming more anti social, and very anxious. It got to the point where I would not even answer my phone, even if it was one of my friends calling. Also I would not want to go out in public at all. All I ever want to do is watch tv. So I had my dr. lower my dosage down to 15 mg once a day in August 2007. It seemed to curb my side effects for a while, but now they are slowly coming back. I can deal with them somedays because I recognize the side effects. By the time the med wears off in mid afternoon, I start to fell run down, and sometimes depressed.. Now I want to get off the Adderall and try something else, maybe for anxiety. But I will miss the great feeling Adderall gives me for the first hour or 2 of the day. I just want to be myself again. I am always in a bad m | M | 25 | 6 years | 3/8/2008 | 3 | ADD | During the first year I took 30mg xr. I experienced, high anxiety, headaches, dry mouth, and ocd tendancies. It was a rare occassion that I would actually feel hungry, so I would have to force myself to eat. Insomnia was also a large side effect. The best quote to describe it would me sleeplesss nights and restless days. Adjusted my dosage to 25mg xr for the next 5 years, all side effects reduced. | To sum it up. patients perscribed on this drug with add/adhd will experience the common symptoms while starting to take it during the first few month. It all matters on adjust it to the right dosage - which takes time. Also, you can build a fairly strong tolerance to drug if you continue to take it daily. On days where your concentration and work a little, take a break from it and reap the benefits of it when you truly need it. | M | 21 | 6 years | 3/19/2008 | 3 | ADHD | I am 26 years, i took Adderal between the age of 14-23. I still take it on occasion for studying. The drug gives you a very good feeling when you first take it then you come into the high, you go from wanting to never stop talking to moody and very detracted from others then you never really feel the same the rest of day. | I am very unsure of the drug and its overall benifits | M | 26 | 8 days | 4/2/2008 | 3 | ADD | loss of appetite, you feel like your stomach is empty and you need food but you're just not hungry. dry mouth, and no desire to drink anything. almost feel drunk when you first take it. kinda dizzy, but really helps you focus, and be productive | M | 20 | | 11/3/2008 | 3 | ADD | 10MG XR Penis shrinks after I take it and looks pathetic, but still works normally. Super horny all the time, I haven't felt like that since I was 18. Headaches and feeling chemical burn the next day seems common, it goes away as soon as I take it again or drink coffee Sometimes my throat feels tight early on. Caffeine should be avoided until later in the morning or you feel tweaky. I started take adderall after taking a ten year break from add medication. I was interested in trying it again to help me study for professional certifications and help me with focus at work. I can zone out now on details, the other day I was getting a haircut and had my glasses in my lap, after the barber was done, I stood up and stepped on my glasses...I have never done anything like that before, it freaked me out. | I feel like I can focus on tedious tasks more easily and complete every facet of a job. | M | 31 | 6 days | 5/16/2007 | 3 | ADD | At first I was very jittery, but that has seemed to go away. My biggest concerns are with shrinkage...no guy wants or needs that. Does anyone know why that is a side effect. My libido goes up and down. Loss of appetite and at times very spaced out. | I really enjoy the loss of appetite, but the sexual side effects are bothersome. I'd appreciate some responses by email concerning this medication from a guys perspective. | M | 37 | 6 days | 1/9/2008 | 3 | ADD | better concentration, trouble sleeping, tweak effect | I take adderall XR 15 once in the morning on school days, monday through thursday and sunday if I need to study or do a lot of homework. It says to also take one in the afternoon, but I can't go to sleep until 3 or 4 AM if I do. Yesterday, I had to study for a test so I took one at 7 AM and one at 3 PM and didn't go to sleep until after 3 AM. It has helped me bring up my grades because I can concentrate better now. If you need it to concentrate at school or work use it otherwise don't. It can also get depressing as it wears off. I don't see how this is medically legal and marijuana isn't. Adderall is much more addictive and dangerous in general, and even worse if abused. Definately don't take too much; I would say it is not something to f with. | M | 19 | 3 months | 2/13/2008 | 2 | ADHD/son | Focused during school..just "loses it" when provoked, very bad mood swings.. | M | 6 | 2 months | 2/15/2008 | 2 | ADHD | Loss of personality, talk too much, irritability, insomnia, very self-concious, nervousness, innability to socialize "normal", smoking more, increased heart rate, gas, deep thoughts on life - leading to depression, always worried about if i ever run out, i feel like complete shit when i dont take it, addictive/dependancy drug, withdrawls SUCK...etc. | My dose - 30mg every morning. It keeps you organized on 1/2 of your life, the other half becomes very cluttered. I would not recommend a dose higher than 15mg to ANYONE. I am slowly quitting in order to let "the real me" come back out after soo long. I have cut down to 15mg per day and feel a million times better about myself than I ever did before....but I am dreading the first days that I will go from 5mg to 0. | M | 20 | 8 years | 12/23/2007 | 2 | Lack of Focus | Major Insomnia, Supressed Appetite big time, Blurred Vision, Heart Racing, Cold Sweats, Uncontrollable Muscle Tweaks/ spasms, Depression after about 12 hours. | Very Productive during day. Thoughts more clear. | M | 18 | 2 months | 6/13/2007 | 2 | ADHD | Exhuasted, had no energy. No appetite. Throat felt swollen constnatly. Dry mouth. | I just got put on AdderallXR 15 mg. and it doesn't seem to do a thing to me except make me tired. Maybe it's because I'm working a lot, but I know for a fact when I tried my friends 20 mg. I felt like a God. I had the confidence to do everything I wanted and could do it pretty damn well. Maybe should I tell my doctor that I need to increase the mg.? Would 5 mg make that big of a difference, I can't think of any other reason why the 15 mg. makes me so tired yet the 20 mg. I was bouncing off the walls. Please e-mail!! | M | 19 | 2 weeks | 6/1/2007 | 2 | ADD/ School focus | Major hunger loss, weight loss, euphoria, increased sex drive, higher energy levels, increased thinking capacity, increase focus/motivation, gradual decrease in social skills, gradual decrease in self-cofidence, addiction/ cravings, penile shrinkage, decrease of interest in sex over time, and major STUNTED GROWTH | At first I HATED adderall, but my mom forced 40 mg a day down my throat starting in 8th grade for my "ADD" and by the middle of 9th grade I absolutely LOVED it; it made me feel upbeat, content, and just overall euphoric. I was prescribed 30mg in the morning and 10mg in the afternoon all the way through the end of my senior year. But it never helped me with school, it was only a "high" to enjoy. My appetite was so suppressed that I never ate breakfast or lunch, and came home after school still not hungry and ate a crappy dinner, and this pattern went on for the entire 5 years. I was 5 foot 8 when I hit puberty in 8th grade and due to the wonderful Adderall, my body didnt grow a single centimeter after I hit puberty because of malnutrition, and I didn't have any idea any of this was happening at the time! So I graduated high school in the same 5 foot 8 skeletal boy body that I was in pre-puberty. And when I say my whole body didnt grow during puberty, I literally m | M | 20 | 5 years | 12/18/2008 | 2 | ADD | Some weight loss (minor, but there). Jitteriness if I take too much at once (to combat sleep-related problems). | Prescribed for up to four 5mg tablets per day, I usually take one in the morning (Mon-Fri) and in the afternoon as needed. I've had no definite addiction to it, but I think I have developed a tolerance as I have started to fall asleep at times during the day (I was thought to have narcolepsy 11 years ago). While, initially, there was some benefit for this drug, I don't see it anymore. I do not want to ramp up the dosage because of the potential for addiction. I've been off of it for over a week and re-tried a dose. It had little effect. :-( | M | 32 | 2 months | 10/26/2004 | 2 | ADD | Some weight loss (minor, but there).

Loss of weight. Irritability and depression when it wears off. | Well my doctor prescribed me with 20mg in the morning and 20mg in the afternoon.(Non-Time release). At first i felt great i could focus at work and do three times as much work now. However just recently i have completely lost my appetite. I was 180 before taking the drug and now im 165. I am always tired and i feel like crap everyday. Im very irritable and cant focus on a damn thing. i wake up in the middle of the night sweating my ass off and can sleep at all afterwards. I have been getting extreme cold chills throughout my entire body and my iron count is low. because of not eating. It works at first and you build up a tolerance fast. My suggestion(im not a doctor!) but even though it feels like you have developed a tolerance it is still working. Jacking up your dosage is not healthy. | M | 20 | 2 years | 5/31/2007 | 2 | ADDHD | extreme dry mouth, jaw pain | M | 42 | 14 days | 3/12/2005 | 2 | ADD | Loss of appetite Slight occasional headache on morning dose Lethargy until second dose of day | On 60mg/tid, switched to Adderal because 60mg/tid Ritalin was wearing off too early in the evening, it simply did not work for me. 20mg morning dose had little effect, after second 20mg noon dose imparted a feeling of energy without focus, which was useless. In my case Ritalin works much better, but the required dose to cover a 16 hour day isn't safe. Still searching. | M | 44 | 4 days | 4/3/2004 | 2 | ADHD | Increase in Obsessive and Impulsive behaviors such as pacing and hair-pulling. More moody and "edgy". Made me feel drugged, sedated and lethargic. | I noticed very little, if any, difference in my distractability or ability to focus on things. The other side-effects were a little better at 20mg than 30, but that's meaningless if it doesn't help anyway. Going to try Ritalin, Provigil, or Wellbutrin next. | M | 38 | 6 weeks | 7/8/2002 |
