| 1 | add | This drug should be illegal. It feel on top of the world the first few times you use it and then damages your brain for life. Look up amphetamine neurotoxicity if you don’t believe me. Permanent brain damage, Caused me permanent parkinsons disease Permanent destruction of my prefrontal cortex and dopamine neurons PET imaging has confirmed the damage to my dopamine reward system and my brain. Lost my girlfriend and all friends. Became permanently aggressive violent agitated and extremely irritable. Lost ability to enjoy music or feel ANY emotions. Used to laugh all the time now my eyes look Dead and my whole face looks completely different. | Do not take this neurotoxic poison! You will regret it in the long run! Everyone who takes this becomes addicted and dependent on it to do or feel anything because it fries the dopamine neurons in your brain!! Anyone who doesnt believe me try stopping this poison and see hoe you function without it compared to how you used to function before! | M | 20 | 0 days 40mg | 4/30/2017 | 1 | ADHD | Tooth decay,heart problems, memory issues | M | 23 | 7 years 30 | 3/15/2016 | 1 | ADHD | This drug will make you feel great the first few days you take it. Then you start building a tolerance. What almost nobidy realizes is that this drug is highly neurotoxic to your brain, with your dopamine neurons being destroyed the most rapidly. Most of the people reviewing this drug are too addicted to this poison to realize that it has permanently damaged their brains natural capacity to feel pleasure. | I dare anyone who has used used this drug for more than a month to go off it and see if they can still feel the same amount of pleasure in life that they could before taking this neurotoxin. This is the primary substance used in animal models to create a permanent brain change reminiscent of paranoid schizophrenia. In monkeys given adderall for 3 weeks, 40-60% of their dopamine nerons are destroyed and this damage has shown to be irreversible. Adderall creates a plain, hollow shell of a human being who is productive yet lacks the other attributes of being human, such as strong emotions, empathy and creativity. Hence why its FDA approved for ADHD. I have a masters in Public Health so trust me when I tell you to keep away from adderall. Methylphenidate and Dexmethylphenidate (Focalin) are far safer alternatives as they dont cause any lasting damage to your brain when used for up to a year. If your interested in reading more then type in on Google: "neurotoxicty of amphetamine ADHD" or if you want to see human studies then "amphetamine and parkinsons disease risk" or "Dopaminergic dysfunction in dextroamphetmine users". The neurotoxicity caused by amphetamine containing drugs is the reason they aren't approved for use in Europe, with Methylphenidate containing drugs being the only ones available. Show the studies you find to your doctor and see what he/ she has to say. But please, if you have never taken an amphetamine containing drug before (Adderall, | M | 18 | 6 weeks 20mg | 9/12/2015 | 1 | ADD | This drug ruined my life. Apathy- I get no pleasure from anything anymore due to this drug frying the dopamine receptors in the brain. I have developed an anxiety disorder and paranoia directly because of this drug. In animals administering this drug only a few times permanently destroys 50-60% of your dopamine receptors. It also causes brain changes reminiscent of schizophrenia. Read the below articles if your interested. I can only recommend suing your doctor because Adderall is amphetamine/aka speed and should not be given to uninformed patients. http://www.jneurosci.org/content/19/21/9579.full.pdf http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23142493 http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/315/1/91.full http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18486243 Psychiatry and the government are evil. They aim to create productive people who go through life with minimal emotions or pleasure. Real medicines, such as Cannabis (which is a neuroprotective antioxidant, slows parkinsons and alzheime | Cannabidiol, a cannabinoid present in cannabis, is all of the things mentioned above and doesn't get you high. It also prevents schizophrenia. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22716160 | M | 2 months 20 2X day | 10/30/2015 | 1 | ADD and mild depression | This drug ruined my life. I don't know if it was only the adderall or toxicity coming from me combining it with Luvox and glutamic acid. Adderall has bene proven to be highly and permanently neurotoxic in both animals and humans at dosages similiar to those used "medically". It slowly sucks the personality and soul out of you and turns you into a horrible, paranoid person. Adderall, Vyvanse and Dexedrine are all just fancy names for Speed/Amphetamine. They are extremely similar to and equally potent to Methamphetamine. Please everyone get this in your head people. Meth differs from Adderall by one Methyl group. It has identical mechanism of action and side effects as Meth. You see all those faces of Meth warnings? Yeah....that can happen to you if you use too much Amphetamine (Adderall) too. I study Public Health and feel oblidged to inform people that Big Pharma is evil. They somehow manage to market neurotoxic street drugs and give them to millions of kids across the U.S. T | If you have ADHD I recommend you smoke Medical Cannabis. It has a positive effect on concentration for those with ADHD, especially strains high in CBD and doesn't wreak havoc on your body/mind like this legal Speed does. It is not only neuroprotective (protects the brain), but it also has anti inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. If we never resorted to poisoning a majority of the population with toxic chemicals made by Pharma companies and the FDA actually did its job properly, by outlawing all of the toxic chemicals, 'medicines' and genetically modified foods that have been proven in both preclinical and human studies to cause harm, then we would all be far more happy and healthy. By the way, the U.S. is the only country that legitimately prescribes Amphetamine to its population. Amphetamine is outlawed in practically all countries due to the well known toxic effects the drug has on the brain and its ability to cause paranoid psychosis in previously healthy individuals. | M | 21 | 2 months 30 4X day | 11/22/2015 | 1 | ADHD | I was put on this medication as a child for 8 years, forced to take it. I now have arrhythmias and permanent heart damage, which my cardiologist says is most likely caused by my many years on this poison. It's addictive and was hard to get off of it, but I refuse to threaten my life anymore. I will probably die early because of this and it terrifies me to think about it. | Please for the love of GOD do not put your child on meth. I am so angry at my parents for forcing me to take this horrible drug which caused me permanent damage almost every day of my life since I was a kid | M | 23 | 8 years 1X day | 1/1/2022 | 1 | Staying focused | It works, however, the withdrawal is horrible. I felt depressed after it wore off. I don't recommend, look for alternative ways to stay focus. | M | 19 | 4 years 20 1X day | 7/21/2020 | 1 | Possible ADHD. Off-label/depression | If used prn & at healthy doses I give it a "4.5." Dr's who prescribed it's steady use at higher than reasonable doses long-term are the reason I give it a "1." It ruined my life! Totally! Stole everything & everyone. Most critically, it stole me! | M | 42 | 6 years 10mg qid | 11/17/2017 | 1 | ADD | Extra energy, dry through | M | 15 | 2 months 20 | 3/12/2014 | 1 | hyperactivity due to insomnia | anger outbursts, decreased appetite, emotional tantrums, headaches | My son has been on this medication for awhile and had been having increased anger outbursts and throwing tantrums. He would start crying for no reason and was very emotional. He was also having really bad headaches. I talked to his doctor and she changed him to Concerta and I have seen a major difference! Its like a different child for the better! | M | 4.5 | 8 months | 6/28/2009 | 1 | ADHD Adult | Abuse, hostility, feelings of invincibility, rage. | This is a warning. I lost a very close friend to this drug. She was prescribed it by her therapist. It completely changed her. Stole her soul. If you do actaully need to take it, from what I've read, it seems to be a wonderful therapy and changes life for the better. But in my experience, people who are prone to addiction should not take this drug. It changed her permentaly and she is a complete stranger. The worst part of it all is that when abused, the person feels like everyone is out to get them and they will not listen to anyone about how it changed thier personality. Everyone else is the problem. Anyone can get this drug if you do some reasearch on the uses. Dr's should spend way more time getting to know their patients. I actually went to a Dr and she wrote me a script after a 15 min converstaion and test she gave me. I don't need it. I did it to prove a point to my now ex-friend. Dr's please just don't Rx your patients, get to know them. Just my 2 cents. It stol | M | 32 | 1 years | 3/5/2009 | 1 | adhd | This medication was Rx'd for my son (along with Adderall XR) who was diagnosed with ADHD. Initially, it seemed like a miracle as he was able to focus in class and get work done. He tolerated it for about a year and then his personality began to change in grade 5. He became moody and experienced severe mood swings. Counselors, MD's, all saw him and said it was behavioral-no one once mentioned it could be his medication or suggested taking a break from it. In 7th grade he had a psychotic episode, attempted suicide, and was hospitalized for several months. He was put on anti-psychotics, which did not help him. After a second attempt while hospitalized, he *finally* got a physician who took him off everything. It was a rough week. However, it was more than worth it. Within 3 weeks I had my son back. Anger, depression, mood swings, all gone. He has been medication free for 4 years. He graduated 2 years early from high school. Yes, he has to work harder to stay focused. Yes, h | Parents: Be VERY cautious about allowing your child to take this medication. The extra time & energy needed to work with an ADHD kid not taking meds is tough...I KNOW! But watching your child slip away into psychosis and nearly die is MUCH MUCH tougher. Not worth the risk. | M | 16 | 5 years | 9/1/2008 | 1 | Adult ADHD | Loss of focus, classic meth addict behavior | Doctor prescribed two Adderall 20mg, three times a day (120mg per day total)for my wife. Results include radical personality changes, wieght loss, increased sexual desire, loss of memory, hyperactivity and so on. Doctor knew of past meth addiction but prescribed this drug, at large dosage anyway. | M | 60 | 6 days | 8/22/2008 | 1 | A.D.D. | Mood swings, anger, sleeplessness, rapid heart rate, elevated blood pressure, isolated myself from the world and the ones I loved, agrued frequently, depressed, sadness. | I've lost almost two years of my life all the while thinking Adderall was helping me.I had a false sense of security and didn't realize what Adderall was doing to me.I was a single parent and I shut my beautiful child out of my life and hurt her.I have to rebuild that now for the damage I did.I tried to do the same thing to the love of my life and because she loved me she stood up to me and helped me realize what I was doing.I had NO clue I was even being mean,angery,shuting out the world, and damaging relationships.I really thought it was everyone else.Until someone loved me enough to grab me the by the shirt and tell me what I was doing and not let me continue to ruin my life and others lives.I really believed I was fine and I was good to go.This poison makes you think you're invincible and it completely shut off part of my brain.I lost two good years of my life and I can't lose anymore.I have to wean off or Adderall slowly because I am on a high dose.I will not let this beat me!I will not let this destroy the ones I love anymore.Get help!Get off Adderall NOW!There's other ways to get treated for ADD and fatigue.Don't be a victim.Be a survivor! | M | 47 | 2 years 25 mg xr 3X day | 10/8/2010 Patient History | 1 | ADHD / IMPULSE CONTROL DISORDER | At first, as is always said, this drug does WONDERS. But give it time, and I promise you the outcome will not be good. Constant desire to move tongue around (voluntary dyskinesia) perioids of energy followed by EXTREME FATIGUE and MALAISE, which will get worse as your body adapts. Tachycardia (resting heart rate 115) | How I wish my psychiatrist would have told my parents, here is a new drug...it is just a few steps down from Meth.. but...we call it....Adderall. Dopamine: Recent research is showing that Adderall can DEPLETE dopamine in --certain--areas of the brain. This makes common sense. Moreover, other research (Harvard, Columbia) is showing it can cause genes to "express themselves early" TRANSLATION It ages you. I noticed after 1 year, my hair was turning white, Besides Dopamine depletion, research is now suggesting Adderall can possible cause Parkinson's disease. This is all valid, cogent information, which makes sense, Please......please....don't start. If you must, a much more safe drug is Provigil (and its new counterpart) | M | 27 | 2 years 30 2X day | 10/6/2011 | 1 | add | other than the normal side effects of loss of weight from no desire to eat, jitters aggitation and anxiety, the last and final straw of quitting was urinary retention to a point were I almost had to have a catheter. At 40 years old! The funniest part was, my family doctor, a urologist and my physcologist wanted me to go on flomax(another medication to treat non-cancerous prostate inflamation) to reverse the urinary retention that was making me feel excessivly ill. I'm all set with adderall. email me if you have the same problems, I'll let you know if it works. GOD, I hope so!!! | M | 40 | 5 months 30mg 1X day | 5/18/2010 | 1 | Concentrate for my final exams | BAD SIDES EFFECTS:insomnia, low sex drive, cotton mouth, anxiety, fast heart-beat rate, loss of weight, anorexia, sense of time is lost, locked jaw these are the bad side effects that i experienced GOOD EFFECTS: concentration, motivation, activeness, self confidence, feeling of being more mature | I take adderall to help me concentrate over my final exam period, i would suggest that people should not be taking adderall on a daily basis just because they are lazy. ADD is not a true illness is a way to justify the fact that you/we haven't learned how to study! most people diagnosed with ADD are perfectly fine in my opinion, as i know many people that do not have the need of it!! I can not imagine myself living everyday of my life under the effects of medicine, as i only take adderall for a one-two week period and not daily | M | 21 | 2 weeks | 1/27/2010 | 1 | ADHD, Mood Disorder | Panic Attacks, severe insomnia, severe dehydration, elevated aggravation, detatchment from society. | Just like EVERYONE it seemed like the answer to all my problems...that lasted about two days..you've heard of the horrible side effects..they are from DEHYDRATION..which is caused by the Adderall..it changes your personality for the worst..if you can handle it..great..enjoy the mind numbing side effects..you will be seeking a class action lawsuit eventually..sites like this exist to give past users comfort..I did not experience comfort til' I stopped the drug ALTOGETHER..not just to see if I could get the ORIGINAL feeling..u will not get it again..listen to me. | M | 27 | 3 weeks 20mg 2X day | 9/3/2010 | 1 | ADHD | My son first started taking Adderall when he was in 1st grade. He was 7 years old in the spring of his first grade year and I can not tell you how scary it was for us when he started telling us about the four distinct voices that he would hear throughout the day. He had four voices, which had names (I can not recall them now) and they were telling him what to do. We were in the process of having him evaluated when the voices suddenly stopped. We had taken him off of medication for the summer and hadn’t put two and two together that this was the reason for the vanishing of the voices. He went back on Adderall on September. By October my son was taken to an inpatient mental facility for evaluation because he had become suicidal. He spent last school year on Concerta but I recently found out that the same sort of side effects have been reported with that drug. My son is now a happy, healthy, inattentive and overactive 10 year old and I don’t want him any other way. No more dru | M | 7 | 2 years | 8/18/2006 | 1 | ADD | Sleeplessness, NO appetite, always wanted to study, Increased desire for cigarettes which I had previously quit. | Wow. So this drug DID help me do well in college, which is the only plus I can give it. I Wieghed 150 at the start of this med and dropped down to 130 on addderal. I literally had to force food down my throat just to eat. now I'm a toothpick It made my minor Tourettes Syndrome VERY severe to the point where i got in a few car wrecks because of it and didnt want to be social and around anyone. I am now off Adderall and forced to take 3 meds to try and subdue my TS - including a damn Antipsychotic! As if TS wasnt Stigmatizing enough... GO ADDERAL! thanks for ruining my carrer for ever. | M | 21 | 6 months | 9/3/2006 |
