 5  ADD Loss of appetite, dizziness, headaches, insomnia (previously diagnosed, just more prominent now), mild depression, dry mouth, quick heartbeat. Aside from all of the side effects, i love this drug, i went from having all D's to all A's in one month, i am currently taking 60mg which is pretty high, but i also really enjoy the weight loss (down 5 jean sizes in 1 1/2 months), i am genuinly interested in intellectual conversations held in class, and any debates, my teachers have noticed a positive change, but i have been more irritable, (saying things, doing things i wouldnt normally do out of anger), but if i focus on it (not a problem haha) i can control my lashouts. mildly depressed, nothing serious, just very calm and focused mentally, but fidgetty and like on speed physically. i would recommend this drug for people AT LEAST 15 years of age, any younger and the side effects could be way more detrimental..

 5  ADULT ADHD *Dry mouth*, insomnia, tightness around neck (anxiety), weight loss, increased concentration, insomnia (mild with benzo), better quality of life. I think people who are not happy with the results of this medication are people who have been wrongly diagnosed. This medication if taken correctly as well as monitored correctly is amazing. I take 20mg twice a day, overall I feel like a new person. I can focus, study for the first time in my life, get good grades yeah, but actually not memorize what im being tested on, actually grasp the concept. I have subsequently lost weight which is nice, however, although weight loss was a big issue for me my whole life, the risks of taking this medication for weight loss well over power the benefits by far. I am in a tug of war with my self, because although the medication is a stimulatant which is dangerous, it does alter my life dramatically. Its a toss up besides take it and be happy and sucessfull, or dont take it and who knows? Right now I am satisfied. F 25 3 months

 5  Adult ADHD Euphoria,increased sex drive, frequent urination, increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure Before adderall, I was a brilliant but lousy student, mediocre employee who never seemed to really live up to my potential. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 30 although I was a classic ADHD kid but no one noticed as it wasn't a known dx at the time. I started out at 10mg. The only way I can explain it is to say that before it was like having a ferrari but only able to use 1st and 2nd gear. On adderall, I had full use of the entire machine. I'm freaking brilliant now. I only take 30 mgs a day but never needed more. I think most people who experience really bad side fx is taking too much. When I take too much, I do get sleepy. One glass of Ice T will keep me up all night though. I don't know what I'd do without it, but I do wonder the affects it has on the addrenal system. I don't eat much but have gained quite a bit of weight. F 39 9 years

 5  few reasons insomnia, increased productivity & capability, mood lift, appetite suppression, euphoria, increased energy, increased heart rate Additional comments are definitely necessary in my case. I initially began taking Adderall during a low point in my life when I was a kid coming off of steady cocaine use involuntarily, to replace it with. I was getting it from a friend who was over-prescribed drugs that she didn't want or need, and each of her pills were 60mg. Being in the mindset that I was in, I simply took two pills as my daily dose. I had no idea how much that was at the time; I didn't give it any thought. I thought it was the greatest thing though (despite the amount, considering my position), because I was getting all the homework I'd ever gotten done (when I was already out of school anyway...). The thing was, I was doing my homework nonstop until 6am, all through the night. I ended up turning pretty neurotic and getting violent fairly quickly into this regimen. However, now that I'm in my right mind, it helps me tremendously (and definitely in normal doses, e.g., 20mg). I've had ADD for years and years and struggled with it severely, as well as other compulsive behaviors, and Adderall seems to level me out while also lifting me up. I sort of feel like I'm cheating, rather than privileged or compensated for... but really it's a great help. If I ever notice that I'm starting to build a tolerance I go taper my dosage down a bit and hold off for a while before going back up, to ensure that I don't ever end up dealing with that 120mg/day crap again.

 5  ADHD untreated as a kid/adult ADD I had ADD as a child all through school . I was diagnosed with it in the 2nd grade & 5th grade . In the begininh of the 80's & late 80's adderrall or ritalin then was considered a "boys" medication & I was going to grow out of my jittery "talks too much in class" & "distraction of peers " comments on my report cards...I was a chatty girl that's all theysaid even after the diagnosis .."lets see how she handles a class room with less of her friends " and avoid the ritalin/adderrall. So my parents & doctors did just that. I struggled and made it through. I went to college and never ever used it for recreationalreasons and it was hard . Once the panic attacks hit & the anxiety hit I tried to mellow it all out with becoming a personal trainer in woman's weight lifting for the local gym. It worked ..took my mind off my anxiety & I was a gym nut 7 days a week...until I got injured at work in 2003 & ruptured 8 discs , dislocated & seperated my shoulder & eventually lost my high profile career as a manager just 2 days before christmas 2011. While home my anxiety became overwhelming , to the point of dry heaving before any appointments or events. My drive for projects were never completed & my attention span was shot..I never finished any project and to sit through a movie was hard to focus on & do. I would get bored fast & walk away when the movie maybe had 20 minutes left. So I finally let it F 36 1 years

 5  I was diagnosed with ADD at 14 Cold sweats (funny odor), heart racing or skipping beats, loss of appetite, blurred vision, increased bowel movements, dry mouth, lack of thirst, flat personality, overly outgoing personality, productive even with things I hate to do (and would not do if it wasn't for the damn pill), insomnia, blacking out while drinking (even small amounts), spacing out, distant in social situations, memory loss, lack of enjoyment in things I used to do when I am not on it, increased dosage due to tolerance, loss of appetite, insomnia I was diagnosed with A.D.D. when I was 14 or so, my whole family was actually. To this day I wonder if that was true. My dad eventually quit taking medication for it, my brother should take medication for it, and my mom eventually started using illegal amphetamines when her doctors stopped prescribing her "enough" do to hypertension and high blood pressure. As for me, I have taken it off and on over the years, I find the times in my life when I take it, I am I can tell through years of taking it that my brain goes fuzzy when I don't. Even now when I'm on it I seem to have trouble with my memory. When I mix it with alcohol (horrific mix) I only need a drink or two before I blackout. I fear telling people when I do because I don't want to know what I said or did. Lately, I have been having bad insomnia. I've taken this for years and didn't have this problem until recently. I'm trying to get my life together, doing things I don't want to do, which this pill is good for, but I'm starting to think the physical side effects and long term damage aren't worth it. So then what? Fuck off my life until I give in and start taking it again? I've seen this medication do wonders, I've seen it wreck lives. I don't really know where I fall in this spectrum, but I know this stuff is nasty... super bad for me, but I depend on it now. I truly wish I had never taken this stuff. Parents or people considering taking this drug, seriously reconsider. This is a life long decision with a high potential for negative outcomes. I think you should allow yourself or your children to be the way they are, and find social, mental, physical outlets and ways to be accomplished and successful without the drug. Also research what it does to your dopamine stores in your brain. Coming off of it after years of use can lead to a pretty lack luster view of life. That being said... time for another dose. Sigh.

 5  add,cfs Started taking due to cfs following a long battle with pneumonia that antibiotics couldn't rid my body of, but after taking it for some time with much improvement in many levels asked for a referral to psychiatrist to be "officially" diagnosed with adult add. I, of course, began researching into add symptoms after taking it because of my overall life improvement. I am of the age before they actually gave the condition I've suffered all my life a name. If I was born later, my psychiatrist stated the system would have found it sooner! Sad to me now, but so glad I do have treatment now. It has been a rocky road though. There have been some quality control issues with the med over the years and it's not as good as it once was, but is still better than not having it at all. You can have a GP manage your medication AFTER you receive your diagnosis from a psychiatrist. I specifically asked the psych for adderall to try, and they had no problem with that. Good luck to all, it is a very helpful mefication if taken properly(as prescribed). F 43 6 years

 5  ADD/ADHD Helped me a ton with school and work. I haven't up'd my dosage in a handful of years, but I will say it can cause dependency. I'm trying to regulate to a lower dosage now and it's started to lose it's effectiveness. However if I skip a day or toe when I take it again it's very potent. F 27 10 years

 5  To focus Excessive sweating, staying up all night if taken too late in day, weight loss due to decreased appetite, muscle stiffness and pain, dry mouth, moody when the drug wears off. I took Adderall for 2 and a half years. It was one of my favorite meds. I was in college and it gave me amazing focus and straight As. Unfortunately, I have Glaucoma and this med worsens it due to raising pressure in the eyes. It can also cause other eye problems, just an FYI. This med made me care about schoolwork, I had extreme focus. I'm just at a point in life now where I don't want to rely on meds. I believe diet changes and exercise are the way to go. F 24 2.5 years

 5  ADHD I have found Adderall IR profoundly helps assuage my ADHD symptoms. The only bothersome side-effect is dry mouth. I have also noticed that not all generics are the same. The Teva/Barr brand works wonders for me, while the Corepharma and Mallinckodt brands do not. I have found Adderall IR to profoundly help with my ADHD. However, I have noticed that generics (especially for this medication) can vary profoundly. F 45 2 years

 5  Adult ADD Dry mouth and dehydration. I cannot take XR as it makes me too jumpy, so I only take short acting. I don't take it all the time either (such as on the weekends), just when I need it for work. I'm presuming from what I've read that it does suppress the immune system somewhat, which explains why my psoriasis is not as unpleasant as it usually is in the winter. I have lost close to 40 lbs., however, I started taking adderall shortly after giving birth to my son. If I was closer to my "normal" weight, the total weight loss would be on the order of 20-25 pounds, and this weight loss occurred over the span of a year. Another "side effect" is that the drug has had a positive effect on my depression. While I realize that Adderall being used to treat depression is "off label" I can see why it is prescribed to depressed individuals. I don't understand all of the negative hype about Adderall expressed on this board. If you take it as prescribed, monitor your blood pr XR can have a more negative effect on your blood pressure, and although I have had no cardiac risk factors, and no family history of cardiac illness or death, I would not take XR. I was 44 when I started taking short acting Adderall and trying XR was not a pleasant experience. It did bump up my blood pressure. Short acting Adderall bumps up my blood pressure slightly, however, since my blood pressure is normally below normal, it bumps it up to what is considered to be "normal." F 47 1.5 years

 5  ADHD, MOOD DO NOS No side effects I can tell. Perhaps mild nervousness or impatience Adderall has helped me greatly with my focus at work and energy levels in running errands. It gives me a lot of get-up-and-go. I was on Vyvanse, which though it worked somewhat, can't hold a candle to Adderall. I read of a way to jumpstart my Adderall and get more out of it, and ran this idea past my doctor, who said biologically it makes sense: Take 2-3 Tums tablets with your Adderall and it will last longer and you will feel its effects stronger. I do not know the exact science, but a more basic stomach environment helps the drug be better absorbed. And this makes sense given people are told not to drink citrus juices with their Adderall -- they dampen its effects. When the penny drops, Adderall has it all over many other ADHD medications (Vyvanse, dextroamphetamine), because it contains two amphetamine salts: dex for mental focus, and lev for physical energy. With many drugs, I say the oldie but goodies are better than the new fangled ones put on the market to pump up drug makers' profits. Adderall is a classic. Ritalin is a classic, too, but my week on that made me want to become a hermit. For my buck (and sanity), it's ADDERALL. F 38 60 days

 5   Jitters (not anxiety), diarrhea, gas, dry mouth, reduced appetite, slight blurred vision, increased urination, fatigued and confused when it wore off It works very well for me, many of the side effects are dissipating as I take it. I find that it loses its effects quickly as i started at 5 mg twice a day and within a week I was up to 10 mg twice a day, now it no longer gives me clarity or focus. F 39 3 weeks
