| 5 | ADHD (SELF) | Initial insomnia that resolved itself, only happens now when pills are taken or for other reasons (not related to the meds). Loss of appetite & weight loss. Dry mouth during first week. Being more talkative at times (I already talk a lot but I was told it was worse sometimes about 30min-1hr after I take a dose). | I personally love the medicine. It's helped my AD/HD symptoms a great deal. The weight loss side effects are not a problem for me as I am overweight and need to lose a bit. It's not a cure all by any means. It does help me focus, though sometimes it's not on the best topic. My school, home and work has improved. My husband even commented that I had gotten better and he's a "suck it up and deal with it" type of person. | F | 27 | 3 months | 2/22/2009 | 5 | ADHD | Loss of apetite, increase desire to smoke, more introverted, hot flashes, cold sweats, exhaustion, lethargy | With out adderall my life would be so difficult I can concentrate and get things done. Iwill never run out | F | 34 | 7 years | 2/21/2009 | 5 | cannot focus, | horrible bad breathe,dry mouth,always use gum, besides that i love it, it has helped me sooo much, | dont ever second guess ur breath, i take 30s and i am very happy my house and life have never been so organized, go figure,i had no idea i was add!!! | F | 33 | 4 days | 2/19/2009 | 5 | ADD | I've always had insomnia so I can't say it was a side effect, but it definitely got worse. My only real complaint is extreme loss of appetite and weight. I've been on the medication for two years. I lost 20 pounds the first year, gained most of it back over the summer, than lost it all again this year. I'm a 5'1 girl, and I weigh 91 pounds. This is not healthy and i do not like it, but no amount of food can make me put on weight while i am on the adderall. I can gain weight over the breaks, but when i start taking the medication I immediately drop any weight i've gained. | Despite the annoying weight loss, adderall saved my life. I was drowning under my workload at school and adderall was a miracle drug for me. It gave me security and the ability to succeed. | F | 18 | 2 years | 1/21/2009 | 5 | Narcolepsy | Only side effect was an increase in my panic disorder. | I take 10 mg twice a day (20mg dose), once when I get up and once about 3 hours later to keep me up. It has helped although it's made me increase my xanax for my panic disorder. It also doesn't hurt my college life that I can concentrate better while staying awake and not having to nap all day. | F | 21 | 2 years | 1/17/2009 | 5 | hypersomnolence | I'm actually taking the 20mg xr version. I get a mild dry mouth. Somewhat increased urge to smoke. Sometimes I find myself having an ocd moment. Really for me, none of the side-effects are terrible. I get more done. Sleep less. More focused. Higher libido. Losing some weight. It's great | M | 30 | 30 days | 1/15/2009 | 5 | Idiopathic Hypersomnia/Narcolepsy | weight loss, urge to smoke alot, some visual disturbances (aka floaters and visual snow), rapid heartbeat, minor OCD | I finally know what it's like to be awake. Started from 10mg's with short duration, and now on 20mgs with a little more duration but less harsh of a comedown (I don't feel the need to nap when it starts to wear off) The only annoying side effect is minor OCD moments. I feel like I have been born again and being is the most novel thing on this earth. | 2 months | 1/13/2009 | 5 | Adult ADD | Euphoria, increased sex drive, energetic, able to complete tasks, weight loss, appetite loss, dry mouth, want to smoke ALOT. | I am a 30 year old working Mom and needed something to help me focus. This was prescribed and I am very happy with the outcome. the minor bad effects are just that. Minor!!! | F | 30 | 3 months | 1/12/2009 | 5 | ADD | great focus, decreased appetite, decreased libido (sex drive), difficulty sleeping while Adderall is still active | I struggled academically in the beginning of middle school without Adderall. I found myself not wanting to complete my essays and questioning the importance of my assignments and my schooling. Since I've been on Adderall, I've been way more focused. Unfortunately, I developed this mentality that "something was wrong with me," and that I needed the drug to stay sane and normal. Without it, I was never sure what I might do. The decrease in appetite actually formed a minor addiction or emotional dependency. I loved it. Still do. My grades are great, I can stay focused when working out, and have never looked better. | M | 17 | 4 years | 12/31/2008 | 5 | ADD, Chronic Fatigue, Depression | None. | Currently on 15 mg 3x daily of the generic... doc upped to 10 mg 3x daily of the XR and added 25 mg of Lamictal. After years and years of anti-depressants, my doctor put me on Adderrall. Never thought I had ADD as portrayed in the mainstream... in other words, I was not a spazzy child (rebellious, brooding yes, but always got excellent grades). However, I've always been prone to racing thoughts, talking too much...chalked it up to being creative. But after years of treatment, trial and error, etc., we came to realize that maybe ADD was to blame. Where was I going with this? (Er, must be time to take the meds). Oh yeah, hallelujah! I can get out of bed. This drug does not give me the jitters... and sadly, no weight loss (damn it), but I'm lean anyway... so, I guess that's OK. Thank you doc. Thank you Adderall. You're giving me my life back. And, my boss loves me. | F | 36 | 4 months | 12/30/2008 | 5 | depression, sleepiness, adult add | The first few days there was some euphoria and a bit of dry mouth. Also, insomnia b/c I took it too late in the day (after noon). First two doses I did notice extreme fatigue late in evening, but not after that. Yes, you will notice a decrease in your appetite, but as an adult you will be able to work with that and get your meals in. | I am 42 y/o and have tried at least ten or more meds for depression over the past decade. I finally asked for Adderall from my treating physician after I read it helped for those with treatment resistant depression (was taking Lexapro/wellbutrin). I just started taking 20mg once a day along with 10mg of Lexapro and I feel much, much more consistent in my mood -- as other's have said, increased focus, consistent energy (before I would nap up to three times a day--even after 9 hours of sleep) and loads of patience. My mind is much more calm & peaceful. So far I have been able to take it for a few days at a time, skip a day or more without consequence -- I notice that when I'm taking it I feel much more centered, productive, motivated, clear and consistent. I also don't feel overwhelmed by simple tasks and I can sit at my desk and work without getting completely distracted and unmotivated. I don't notice a "craving" for Adderall, or a distinct "crash" at the e | F | 42 | 3 weeks | 12/25/2008 | 5 | cause i'm in college :) | loss of appetite, extreme alertness,energy and concentration. | I LOVE ADDERALL! i may not be taking it for the right reasons, but I love having it around when I have a huge test coming up or exams to crash for. It works miracles I used it to study for my UC 110 exam..stayed up all night and never got tired..went to bed at 6am and got up at 8am for my exam. and got an A on my exam and in the class overall. definitely worth it and easy to get! | F | 18 | 6 months | 12/7/2008 | 5 | Concentration=ADHA | Dry-mouth, red face, always hot. | I have found this to be wonderful. I am able to multi-task again, and get through my day without losing blocks of time. I am responsible for millions of dollars a day and I can function now without second guessing what I already did. | F | 44 | 45 days | 12/7/2008 | 5 | recreationally | intense focus especially on very small tasks, like making countless LISTS, making everything- even the mundane- seem worthwhile and enjoyable, very closed off- want to be alone, time races by, total loss of appetite, powerful sense that you can get anything done, productivity, creative ease, bad skin, VERY dry mouth, not knowing how to interact normally with people, insomnia, extreme bodily temperature fluxuations; basically, it makes you a bit superhuman- you don't need to eat or sleep and you can do anything. but when it's gone it's not so pleasant... | i've been taking Adderall for about 2 1/2 years- always recreationally. i've gone through periods of wanting to give it up, but not feeling like i could. sometimes i feel like i am just in love with it and it does a lot more good than bad. right now i am in a phase of thinking i'll take a small break- mostly because i am about to be out of it. and it's been draining my money supply. but i am sure i'll run right back to it as soon as i can. i'd be on it all day every day if it was possible. | F | 22 | 2 years | 12/4/2008 | 5 | ADD/ADHD | Loss of appetite, increased heart rate, clenching jaw, weight loss, insomnia, dizziness accompanied with momentary loss of vision (has happened a lot), occasional blackouts (has happened 3 times) | Adderall is very good for helping those with ADD/ADHD. It affects those with ADD/ADHD much differently than those who do not have it. It sort of has the opposite effect. I have taken dosages ranging from 20mg-80mg, and have found that the proper dosage is the key. Try to use as low a dose as possible that allows you to concentrate best without severe side effects. If you smoke marijuana while taking adderall the dizziness/temp. vision loss/blackouts become MUCH more frequent, though this can happen anyway. If you feel dizzy and your vision starts to blot out, sit down and wait until it is over, this is a good way to prevent blackouts. Be sure to eat. | F | 18 | 9 years | 12/1/2008 | 5 | ADD | Insomnia, super libido, eye twitches,bigger erections, fat loss, euphoria,and somewhat decreased appetite. | I was Rx'd this for ADD and it helps tremendously. I feel much more social and my libido is at porn star levels (it was somewhat low at the start)! I don't get any vasoconstriction with this, but if you do, you can counter it with Ginko and Horny Goat Weed (50% Icariin). Sometimes I take it with L-Tyrosine and D,L Phenylalanine. I have been able to get good benefits with a much smaller dosage. This is important because it provides the raw materials for your body to make Dopamine and Adderall will deplete you Dopamine levels with a quickness. I also noticed increased fat loss (I'm into bodybuilding so this is a plus). I used to use Ephedrine and I would be able to focus, but I never put two and two together and never thought I might have ADD. I am on a low dose, which I feel is fine. I think the more side effects come with the higher dosing that I have seen here. | M | 30 | | 11/29/2008 | 5 | Research | My company produces television movies among many other types of productions. We are looking for a true story about a teenage girl who abused Adderall for body image purposes. We have a long history of producing critically acclaimed programs, often based on true stories such as these, with a determination to present the material in a dignified and honest manner. If you or someone you know fits this description and would be interested in talking about their experiences, please contact the company at [email protected] If we move forward in developing a movie based on the story, the life rights person can be compensated, and we can change names to protect anonymity. Thanks very much, Kelly | F | | 11/25/2008 | 5 | ADD | Loss of Apetite / Excess Energy and I seem to crash when I come off of it | This drug has been a wonder drug I do better at work I can talk to people and I can focus long enough to watch televesion. I highly recomend this drug to anyone with ADD! My freinds joke and say I should quit my job and become and Adderall Rep! I can't say enough good about it. It has completely changed my life | M | 27 | 3 months | 11/17/2008 | 5 | ADHD | Quiet, almost intoxicated state when medicine first takes effect as if my brain is switched off. Agitation and angry mood when it wears in the evening. Often forget to eat all day and then overeat all night: weight gain. | I have ADHD Inattentive type = daydreamy and forgetful with racing thoughts. I take 40 mg extended release at 8 am daily. The initial calm-brain-sleepy effect is so VERY VERY pleasant it scared me when I first started on this drug. It felt like it would become addictive just for that pleasure and relief. I frequently take breaks from using to test if I'm "addicted" and have never had problem doing without it. No withdrawals, no cravings. Now that I am used to the overly calm period, I simply schedule around it. Lasts 25-45 minutes for me so I use that time to meditate, nap, check emails or other "lazy" task. Lowering dosage stopped my nightly temper flares and crabbiness. This drug helps my memory and productivity immensely. Does not give me excess energy, but helps me NOT doze off in class, movies, conversations, or studying. Odd that it 'cured' forgetfulness in everything but remembering to eat... I have experienced a greatly improved quality of life. | F | 46 | 5 years | 11/11/2008 | 5 | Adult A.D.D | Dry mouth, jaw clenching, stiff lower back and headaches | I found that once the medication was into my system on a regular basis the side effects tapered off. I also have a 6yo. son on Adderall XR 20 before school and 5mg. Adderall immediate release after school. The Adderall helps my son get through school and get his homework done without problems with time management. As for me I can actually get things done without getting frustrated. For me it is a lifesaver. I believe that for someone with A.D.D or A.D.H.D it can help. If you don't have these conditions and you abuse them then they can be very dangerous and addictive. I have had people that I work with offer me $20 a pill, this is crazy! I trully believe in this medicine as a tool in my situation. | F | 32 | 3 years | 11/11/2008 |
