| 5 | add / adhd | jittery, dizzy, dont eat at all never get thirsty, very irritated very easily, mood swings, most of the time im depressed, dont like to talk, i have to do something like draw or doodle. when i take it at night just to keep from eating i stay up and cant go to sleep(only did that once and never do it again)i do my work i blink my eyes alot (i have ocd also which in my case causes that including having to do something a certain amount of times, and evrerything has to be perfect) it makes me ocd even worse. i have been taking it for more than eleven years and none of those things have went away. | it is a very good weight loss substance. it is verygood whenyou need to bring your grades up. | F | 15 | 11 years | 11/10/2008 | 5 | Adult ADD | metallic taste, heightened emotional PMS, increase urge to smoke, grinding teeth made my jaw ache but this went away after a month or so, weight loss (30 lbs in less that 6 months). I discussed the weight loss with my psychiatrist and he assured me that this is normal and the side effect eventually slows and people stop at their ideal body weight. No more sore, tense shoulders, neck or back that tend to come with anxiety. | have set reminders on my BB to ensure I take the doses at the right time. 10mg tw daily. 2nd no later than 2:30PM. This is very important. Am organized & task oriented. Never was b4. Able to break task into steps. No longer have frustration out burst. Caffiene & alocohol must be extremely limited. 1 cup caffiene, 6-8ozs/day NO MORE or trouble sleeping will occur. Alocohol in excess completely x's out the Adderall effects. Social anxiety will always be a prob w/out behavioral therapy. Find myself more receptive to conversations, more tolerant of others, can focus on & retain what I read. Has done wonders for my focus on artwork! But I have to make sure I focus on the right things or I'll end up spending 4 hrs obsessed with a crossword puzzle. My family is amazed at how much improvement they see in me. | F | 33 | 5 months | 11/8/2008 | 5 | adhd | at first I had some side effects while my body adjusted: shakiness, hyperfocus, ect. But they went away. | The drug does what it is supposed tp do, very well. I am more focused, but it doesn't do it all for you. You have to have some motivation and discipline to get started. For the first week, I would be careful and not take the side effects too seriously as it takes your system a bit to get used to. It also helps with my shyness as well as my lack of interest in school. It is important to remember to take as directed and never more than. Be sure to stay hydated and drink lots of vitamin water or poweraid and keep mints or gum handy since the cottonmouth can be bothersome. | F | 26 | 1 months | 11/2/2008 | 5 | ADHD Inattentive Type/ depression | First couple days: Cold hands and feet and slight stomach cramps. After that: Increased sweating, difficulty falling asleep, slightly decreased appetite (this is not a bad thing), faster heartbeat. | Although I am skeptical about medications as a whole, adderall XR 20mg has really made a positive difference in my life so far and has worked wonders for my particular imbalance. Before I was sluggish/tired, depressed, had difficulty concentrating and remembering even simple things, and didnt have much desire to socialize. After taking this med, I am more social, active, motivated and able to organize and concentrate. I am not depressed or nearly as anxious while taking it. I take breaks for a day or two at a time from the med just to ensure my body is getting enough rest since adderall seems to decrease my quality of sleep, and I also supplement with many vitamins/minerals and take a formula with 5HTP at night to counteract the possibility of the drug depleting chemicals in the body. | M | 26 | 3 months | 10/30/2008 | 5 | College | Intense focus on otherwise boring subjects which allows great grades in classes that were never my forte. Adderal, within the first 45 minutes of taking it causes intense awakeness and focus. The first few hours of mine, adderal 20 mg. immediate release causes intense awareness, focus and jittery feeling being extremely social/unsocial depending on activity at hand, Dry mouth and intense thirst with constant bathroom trips from this, It supresses appettite which is my least favorite part of the medicine besides the awful hour or two of come downs (until you eat and let your brain relax) I am now struggling to keep weight on, dropping from 123 to 118 and being 5'6, does not look natural/healthy. The restlessness fades a bit after the medicine has been in your system for awhile, 2 weeks for me, but still as something simple as a coke later at night with my evening dose for homework can make you stay up much longer and make you fill out ratings of the medicine at 5 a.m :) | Adderall and I have a love/hate relationship. I am not as fun or spontaneous as I normally am when I am on the medicine but my grades have consistentally been raised atleast 1 to 2 letter grades by the implication of the medicine. Trying to maintain a healthy weight and sleep cycle has been my only problem with the drug. Also, in response to some other ratings in regards to fast heart beats, I've had my heart rate taken at the Dr's office while I've been on it and my results were perfect, even when it felt like my heart was beating at the speed of light. | F | 21 | 2 years | 10/28/2008 | 5 | School/Assignments | Extreme focus, nonstop talking, happy feelings, very emotional and understanding, need to organize/touch things, slight panic attacks, dry mouth, loss of appetite | I personally am not prescribed Adderall, but I buy it off my friends all the time. I use it when I know I have a lot homework to do, and for a few weeks I used it because I had a formal event that I wanted to lose some weight for. I ended up losing about 30 pounds. The only true problem I found was that I would get very anxious and panicky, but this only happened about twice. My friends say I would ask a lot of questions, and sometimes I needed them to switch up how they were sitting because it was making me anxious. | F | 16 | 5 weeks | 10/25/2008 | 5 | adhd, im takeing adderall XR | dry mouth, jittery, intense need for a cig, unpatient, getting annoyed by everything when it is wearing off, WEIGHT LOSS. | I have been taking adderral XR since i was in 5th grade. i weighed 115 before i took it, 1 month later i weighed 80 pounds, it can make your weight drop drastically. im now in 9th grade and it helps me a lot with my school work. it keeps me focused and it just gives me like a intense happy feeling like it just changes your mood. i have a problem with smokeing tho, and i found out that whenever i take my meds, a little while later you are just craving it so badly. but this is a very good medicine, it helps you to focus and keeps you awake. | M | 15 | 4 years | 10/25/2008 | 5 | ADD, fatigue, exhaustion | Dry Mouth. | Helped a great deal in making me feel "normal" again. I can concentrate on tasks, multi-task, stay organized. It totally eliminates the fatigue and exhaustion and restores my motivation. Only negative is that when the effects start to wear off, they do so rapidly and I drop like a stone off a cliff. | M | 44 | 9 months | 10/24/2008 | 5 | ADHD | Anxiety. Headache and anger as medicine wears off. | I was diagnosed with ADHD my second year of university. My doctor prescribed Adderall, and I immediately noticed a difference. Adderall helps me start my day, and helps me remain attentive and focused in class and when working on projects. My social life has also improved, and I feel more outgoing. Sometimes I get mild anxiety from Adderall, as I also have panic disorder. I also get annoyed easily as the drug wears off in the evening, but it generally hasn't been a problem. Overall, my experience with this drug great and would encourage anyone whose doctor recommends it to give it a try. | M | 20 | 12 months | 10/22/2008 | 5 | school | inability to sit still or stop talking, loss of appetite, chewing of lips, AMAZINGLY happy mood, extreme focus | F | 16 | 2 months | 10/17/2008 | 5 | anxiety,ocd | dry mouth, loss of appetite, 8 pounds lost in 5 days. | i just started 5 days ago and it has helped me so much. i have a very stressful job at an ambulance, so it has helped me relax more and stay awake. i also love that im losing weight because im getting married soon. =) | F | 21 | 5 days | 10/11/2008 | 5 | grad school | frequent and urgent need to urinate, clenching teeth, occasional sharp pain in my heart, increasing tolerance, emotional crash when effects wear off | I always took adderall during my undergrad and master's when I needed to stay up all night to finish something. Finally I went and got a prescription for this drug before starting my PhD. Really helps me stay awake in order to finish all my work. Helps me stay awake in class too. I have taken this too far once or twice and really paid the consequences; I have stayed up for several days in a row and then experienced crushing depression and sadness when coming off the drug (exacerbated by sleep deprivation and no food, of course). I've lost about 15 pounds :) but am worried that once I stop taking the medicine, I'll gain it all back (heard its common). I really love it, but the heart pain scares me... I'm afraid to tell anyone about it because then they won't let me take it anymore. I feel like I really need it to get through grad school. | F | 26 | 3 months | 10/8/2008 | 5 | Apathy, ADHD, Depression | Dependancy/classic meth/stimulant addiction potential (obviously), swift tolerance increase, occasional minor chest pains after long sessions of heavy lifting/moving, loss of appetite (duh). | Had I been prescribed this back in High School I've no doubt my life and the directions it took would've been drastically beneficial, emotionally and functionally. Sadly my parents and their combined inability to understand my symptoms and listen to me shrieked at the mention of medicinal approaches and instead blamed me rather than helped me. Typical "Time Magazine parents." Like many here, my grades were pathetic and teachers would tell my parents that I exhibited a "brutal" level of intelligence, but showed no motivation to utilize and cultivate it. As I drudged through HS with finger-pointing parents depression hit and I found more motivation in demotivating myself with things like weed, painkillers, and other downers. College came and went drug free with my "C's get degrees, as do D's" philosophy and I joined the rat-race and began working after graduating. I finally lost my ability to function and took matters into my own hands, (long story short) an | M | 26 | 1 years | 10/6/2008 | 5 | Adult ADD | Minor dry mouth, minor euphoria (day 1 only), minor heart flutter lasting only a couple of seconds. | I cleaned the kitchen! The whole kitchen without feeling overwhelmed and/or losing interest half way through and walking away. I love this medicine! I have also been able to retain when I read. This is the main reason I needed the meds. I am excited to be able to become more successful in my career now that I can keep up! | F | 33 | 2 days | 9/20/2008 | 5 | ADHD | achy joints/jaw; insomnia; terrible "crashing" effect by early evening | When I was in elementary school, my teachers told my parents that I desperatly needed Riddalin, but my parents refused to put me on drugs and encouraged my teachers to use alternative methods to hold my attention. I did "okay" in school... but in my senior year of college I started AdderallXR and I became an A student. I'm in graduate school now in large part because of Adderall. I work hard to use other methods to keep focused although my Rx needs to increase every now and then. | F | 24 | 3 years | 9/6/2008 | 5 | ADD | Loss of appetite (not a bad thing!), complete disinterest in food, frequent urination, dehydration, nausea, sleeplessness, and codependence on the pill. | I LOVE this pill. It allows me to finally just be able to sit down, study, and retain information. It makes me a happier and more positive person. I used to stay up all night, sleep all day, and have a hard time getting out of bed and going to class, now with Adderall I hop out of bed awake and alert in the morning, and don't need to nap all day. It completely surpresses my appetite and also speeds up my metabolism. I must have lost at least 10 lbs in the two weeks I've been on it. I may think I'm hungry, but then only be able to get a few bites of food in. Most of all, it keeps me from procrastinating and makes me more a more productive person. | F | 23 | 14 days | 8/30/2008 | 5 | Adult ADD | Loss of appetite is the only side effect I've experienced. The personality related side effects some people are discussing, such as being unsocial, are things I actually suffered from prior to starting Adderall XR. Only on my initial dose on the first day did I experience any type of chest tightness. Usually when it kicks in after a few hours I can feel my heart rate increase, but it doesn't last. I think my sex drive may have increase somewhat also. | So far so good. My doctor initially started me out on 5 mg a day, which had no affect on me at all. I guess she just wanted to gauge it. A week later she increased it to 20 mg a day. I don't get a euphoric feeling like some people describe. It just simply helps me focus longer, and improved my concentration. It also improved my memory. I no longer put a load on laundry in the washer, forget it for 2 day, have to wash it again, forget it again, wash it again, then finally dry it...lol. I was also notorious for not answering the phone, I would rather avoid people, losing my keys, credit cards, etc. Just a better quality of life in general. I take my dose when I awake in the morning, and sleep like a baby at night. I'm not sure why some people experience these dramatic side effects, and some don't. I'm just lucky I guess. I have to make myself eat sometimes. I get worried that my body will dehydrate. I've lost weight, not sure how much, I don't own a scale. That's about it. I'll write ano | F | 25 | 2 months | 8/23/2008 | 5 | Narcolepsy w/sleep apnea tiredness | Awake!...able to focus on current tasks, stablized weight gain from side affects of hormone injections, eye shimmering (as in REM sleep), twitch on 4th index finger, low amount of anxiety....still worth it to me. | Meets my needs to be awake and function in society and I can actually drive home without feeling I need to pull over and nap a while. Dose: 20 mg every 5 hours (3 times day)starting when I first wake up...allows time for the last dose to wear off prior to bed...no insomnia. | M | 53 | 180 days | 8/20/2008 | 5 | Adult ADHD | haven't had any | this is the drug for me. I cant believe how much better i am. I can start and finish projects with no problems. I dont feel so impulsive. it makes me feel relaxed and not always rushing. My mood has changed, i am more able to deal with stress with out freaking out. I haven't miss placed my keys in a month. If you truly have ADHD you know what Im talking about. I think this drug was the best choice for me and i am thankful. I have noticed that it is a bit less effective when I have PMS watch out woman. | F | 36 | 2 months | 7/16/2008 | 5 | add | I have used this drug ALOT , i have experianced ALL the side effects people have listed. The ONLY time i got them was when i abused the drug or the off chance the doctor put the dosage too high. If your up all night your taking it to late or taking too much. This is a miricle drug. if used properly. but ill admit to doing quite a few drugs recreationally, pot coke xtc ciggerettes booze to name the worst, Adderall is by far the most addictive substance i have ever known if you abuse it. not only is it physically addictive when u bridge that first full night and have to pop another to get threw life,,, you have concentration problems to begin with, AND once u do catch up on sleep (finally pass out of exaustion) its hard to morrally justify taking them as a bad thing considering the Razor like concentration. i think the bad reactions are due to large dosage time release pills,,, where they should use pills designed for 2 hours so worst case its a 2 hour withdrawl to get threw b4 the cra | This drug will change your life for the better , Dont ever abuse it or take Large dosses to begin with. Its identical to cocaine , in effect, and actually more addictive because it last so long its nearly impossible to stop abusing untill the bottle is empty, and then to get the helpfull effects of the drug will require dose ammounts that will damage liver, heart, permanent insomnia , mild to moderate paranoia / dillusons. if your kid is on ritilin , get him on this, its less addictive. and the time release ones will kill you if u snort them (most common abuse of them) make sure they know this b4 u give them them though. This is truely a miracle drug. But it will kill you if you abuse it and cant stop. reoccuring theme is peoples friends interviening to stop their abuse of this drug. watch your loved ones on it. | M | 27 | 3 years | 7/8/2008 |
