Toward the end of the day after taking it I notice vision changes (it’s hard to look at my phone/computer.) | I am taking 20 mg XR once daily! Overall it has helped me tremendously with my nursing school exams, and focusing at the clinical site. I feel that I need to talk to my doctor about the feeling of my throat closing/tightening because it makes it hard to catch my breath. | F | 21 | 2 months 20 MG | 12/3/2019 | 4 | Add/depression | Increased sex drive, dry mouth, loss of appetite | F | 44 | 3 weeks 30mg a day | 10/27/2016 | 4 | Motivation, energy | minor headaches, fatigue, unmotivated | Firstly, please don’t be scared off by the neg reviewers here. YES you should definitely take them into consideration, but most of them act as if these neg affects are guaranteed for everybody. I don’t need to get scientific because I can tell you my own experience. I have been taking adderall since I was 19. (I’ll be 30 next month.) I started in college like a lot of people bc I needed to be focused. For me, once I was done with finals, or even during summer break, I would stop taking it since I didn’t “need” it. I was perfectly fine. This cont. for a couple years. After I was done with college I stopped taking it for about a year. My entire life, I was an insomniac and also naturally very lazy in general. Then I got my first job as a Paralegal at a Law Firm. I decided to get back on adderall so that I would start off kicking butt. I took it regularly (One 20 mg a day) for about a year or so. BC I was safe in my position I decided to get off of it. About 6 mo. after THAT, I switched jobs to another law firm, so I got BACK on it. Currently, I am still at my job and I have been on it regularly since then. What I do, is break my 20 mg pill in half and take 10 mg in the morning, and then if I need it again later after work, which I usually will in order to not nap when I get home, Ill take the other half. Then, I “crash” from the adderall around 10 PM or so, so it’s easy for me to go to sleep! I take it every day (incl wknds) | F | 29 | 9 years 20MG 2X day | 8/8/2016 | 4 | Motivation, energy | minor headaches, fatigue, unmotivated | (cont from prev box) the actual effects of adderall will wear off after consistently using it. When this happens, I have to stop taking it for a week or so and then when I take it again, the effects come back. Another neg effect I sometimes get is a minor headache when I get home from work. But I either just ride it out or take a small dose of buffered aspirin. Or smoke some weed. (It’s 2016 and it DOES help without adding more chemicals to my body.) I will also get dry mouth a lot but I am AWFUL about drinking water anyway! The pos effects are being extremely motivated. It ensures that I don’t mess ANYTHING up for a client and get everything done in a timely manner. There are many days I do not take it (bc I forgot it, or my boss won’t be in all week and it’s an easy week, etc.) and I def notice that I will goof off more instead of getting prepared like I do when I’m on adderall. I also have a tendency to overlook errors when I’m not on it. When I’m on it, I literally think of everything, double check anything I do, am more than prepared, and think outside the box. I consider myself a pretty intelligent person to begin with, but it’s as if adderall makes me even smarter. I am normally a very shy introvert. When I’m on adderall, I am much livelier, not afraid to make conversation, and I am very assertive and quick. After almost 10 yrs of taking it pretty regularly, I do not experience any of the side effects other people h | F | 29 | 9 years 20 MG 1X day | 8/8/2016 | 4 | ADD/ADHD, Deppression, CFS | Sore achey muscles, dry mouth, super thirsty. | I dont take long lasting adderal, i take fast acting. But i take a generic form. The side effects suck, especially the achey body, but i also have arthritis. I can understand why people want to take this medicibe, but honestly its hard to get perscribed because so many people use it, that dobt neccesarily need it. Since taking this medicine, i can actually get out of bed. As before, i'd be so tired, and have no motivation or energy to even want to get up and take a shower. (I had to force myself) with the way my life was going, deppression soon kicked in, and since i have bipolar, the lack of life i felt, would throw me down to some bad lows. Since taking this medicine, i feel alive. I actually feel like its a miracle medicine. I find myself finally being able to enjoy life like "normal people" i have hobbies, i have the energy to exercise, shower, take care of my basic needs. Thats not to say i dont have life problems, but im not sleeping my life away anymore. Where as before i slept most of the day ( up for maybe 4 hours then back to sleep). My basic essential needs i can do. And im more positive, clear minded, sociable. I am a different person, on it, yes, but one that can experience life, without having to feel suffocated by shitty disorders. I actually feel like living instead of just wanting to exsist. | F | 34 | 5 months 30 mg dail | 8/27/2016 | 4 | N/A | Side effects are often different each dosage I've collected all of the ones I've had: Excessive sweating, oily hands, light hyperthermia, dilated pupils, foggy brain, long-term memory errors, burping, weight loss, muscle stiffness, joint pain, dry mouth, thrush, butterfly rash on face, delusions, auditory hallucinations, eye focus problems, popping knuckles excessively, decreased sex drive, increased sex drive, increased socialness, increased obsessive thoughts, paranoia, irregular periods, mood swings, jaw clenching, abnormal aggressiveness, visual perception construed, having to pee, weird posture/sitting positions, vomiting, nausea, numbness of hands, panic attack, "meth mouth", increased productivity, euphoria, sensitive teeth, racing thoughts, increased sense of well-being, sensitive to light, sensitive to sound, headache, dehydration, perception of time slowed, depersonalization, faint pulse, increased tics (mine being nail biting and hair pulling), serotonin syndrome, | Keep in mind the side effects I listed INCLUDE overdose side effects. Also- those were collective, not just from my last 2 day binge. | F | 14 | 2 days 60mg 1X AN | 1/16/2016 | 4 | Treatment-resistant depression | First few weeks: agitation, restlessness, decreased appetite, slight weight loss, sweating, rapid heartbeat. Depression lifted! Suicidal thoughts disappeared. Four months later: all side effects disappeared. No longer feel as "up" as I did the first few months. This must be why they don't use Adderall for depression unless it's an emergency. The antidepressant effects don't last unless you keep increasing the dosage. | I'm glad it helped lift me out of depression. Wish it was a permanent cure. | F | 24 | 4 months 30 mg | 3/22/2015 | 4 | ADD | Slight headaches at first, dry mouth, weight loss. | I am very pleased with how this medication has helped. I am able to focus a lot better on many things now. It's slows me down enough to where I can read something and understand what I read. Makes me in a better mood. It also has helped me to be able to sleep at night. I had a big problem with not sleeping before I started this medication. | F | 35 | 6 months 15mg | 5/25/2015 | 4 | adult adhd/tbi | agitation, anxious after non restful night sleep. Lack of proper sleep associate with side effects when it not the meds | F | 45 | 10 days 5 | 1/6/2015 | 4 | Attention Defficit disorder | According to my husband I have a ton of side effects, but I do agree that I have a couple of them but I'm also pretty sure that a lot of it is exaggerated by them as well IDK. My husband wants to argue with me about a lot of stuff so it's makes a lil hard for me to talk with him regarding the adderall :( but he says that my personality has all together changed, and that Things get me angry that wouldn't before , that I'm less affectionate now way less , that I fight about little things and that I even blame him as the one wanting to argue ?, he tells me I am not close to being as positive like I was before the taking the pills ? And a lot more Lol | F | 33 | 5 months 60 mg day | 5/23/2014 | 4 | ADHD | It worked well in high school and college I got all A's. The first 3 years I lost 30lbs. After that I was reluctant to up my dose very often even though I could tell I was building a tolerance still had to up it though several times. It has helped me graduate and be successful at my job. Used to not sleep a lot but now I can sleep after I first take it or any time of day no problem. It has negatively affected my marriage and personal relationships. Negatives: severe irritability and anger towards anyone for any little thing, don't want to be touched, kissed, cuddle anything intimate, think others are stupid and you are of superior intelligence to others, dependency, tolerance, bi polar type behavior, come down makes me crave sexual activity, when first started I could not orgasm on it, and it raised my blood pressure and stress level. | F | 24 | 8 years 60MG | 11/14/2013 | 4 | ADHD, depression and sleepiness | Felt tired, a little joint aches, aggitation, but all in a very slight way. Nothing profound. | I have taken adderall about 10 years! Yes, I do take more now than before, about 120mg. daily. However, in the past few months it has been making me very sleepy when I take it. It's a drug I take in the morning but I can take 90 mg. and fall right back to sleep. I also take provigil and still sleep. I am great with focusing, ONCE I GET STARTED. It's getting started that I have trouble with. I have considered stopping the medication, as when I have forgotten it for a day or two, I don't have any withdrawal from it. My reason for quitting, even though it helps me immensely is the tiredness I feel. Even while driving, if I have just taken adderral I may have to pull over to sleep 10 minutes! I just don't get it! Any suggestions to stay awake? | F | 57 | 10 years | 1/24/2010 | 4 | School | Lose of appetite, stomach aches, headaches, lack of sleep. | I used it to keep up in school. Just started high school, and I'm always an A+ student. Suddenly things started getting harder, so I started a 15 mg Adderall. I felt absolutely great in the beginning but now I'm worried that I'll keep using. School is my life, and I got to keep focused. But the side affects are killers! | F | 15 | | 10/20/2009 | 4 | ADD | severe loss of appetite and nausea (mind over matter-umm..sometimes works. Lol..5'8/125 lb. and suffer from crohns disease so not so sure how good this is gonna be for me), mood swings not too bad (supposedly my Pristiq(rx for depression) is balancing things out)sleeping is impossible and yes sometimes my heart will race. I do experience headaches often and think 20 mg is too much for me. I also think it may be causing very loose stool..icky! my focus and attention span is unlike it has ever been-it's great..my 15 yr old son has noticed a positive difference. until I want to actually wind down..then when it wears off-you find yourself wanting to wind right back up. | F | 32 | 30 days | 10/19/2009 | 4 | "ADHD" | Loss of sleep, anxiety, grinding teeth lightheaded, dizzy, very fast heart rate | I can still remember the first time that disgustingly sweet pill touched my tongue at the young age of 12. The first time I took Adderall I almost passed out from the extreme "speed" rush. I could never actually listen to what teachers were teaching in school at the beginning because I was too busy working on homework or organizing my planner. I could never sit still. After years of being on it, I am addicted. I can not wake up in the morning unless I set an alarm an hour before I need to be up and take my little orange pill. I have tried to get off the drug but the withdrawals are too much to handle while in school. Lately I have been experiencing very high levels of anxiety, nausea and diarrhea every morning. I think you need to think long and hard before you put a child on this drug. If my parents had taken other steps to fix the problem, I would not be dealing with the consequence of their mistake today. | F | 23 | 11 years | 10/22/2009 | 4 | ADD | Teeth grinding/major anxiety/bad crashes coming off the drug | I have not taken Adderrall for over two years and I still grind my teeth and clamp my jaw. The doctor told me this happens very rarely but it happens. Wish I would have known that before I took it. Had to get a mouth gard and take muscle relaxers now to help with it. The drug did, however, help me immensely. I just need my teeth. | F | 41 | 6 months | 10/18/2009 |
