| 5 | ADHD | Loss in appetite, Obsessive cleaning, rudeness | I started taking adderall because i could not finish a project or remember appointments. I was often chalking that up to "being a blonde". Now i am highly organized and found that I have more patience with other people (mostly my husband and son and thier antics). I have however noticed that I have been REALLY uncompassionate to other people and have beed intentionally making my friends feel fat, that is not like me. For example I told my sister in law that she might want to try a bigger size...or two. It was the or two that i would normally think not say, but now im saying it out loud. Not sure if thats the adderall or im just becoming mean spirited. | F | 26 | 30 days | 7/2/2008 | 5 | Suggested by doctor | teeth grinding, if I don't sleep enough the night before, I get sleepy when I take it. | Helps with focus and communication skills. No longer considered an "air head" at work. | F | 47 | 1 years | 6/19/2008 | 5 | ADHD with depression | dry mouth, stayed up way too late if taken at like 6pm or later :) | God send. seriously. Increased energy, focus, concentration but not in a "blinders" sort of way, just overall more "awareness" of what's going on and having the "executive function" to ignore what doesn't matter at the time. I was reccomended for Ritalin at a young age (~4) and due to fears in the media my mother avoided meds for me. I took a lot more effort to learn certin things as a child but my mother was a disiplinarian and willing to give extra hours of her day to my education after school. I don't know how someone with similar symptoms go do as well as I did in school without such sacrifice by a caregiver. In college however after several concussions from playing pro hockey (concussions have increased levels of depression AND ADHD), a torn shoulder (ending my career), a pregnant girl friend, and a father with a brain tumor... I started to shut down. Depression kicked in heavy and I couldn't stay in school no matter how hard I tried. Depressi | M | 31 | 2 months | 6/17/2008 | 5 | ADHD | none | excellent,more focused, read faster, more alert | F | 42 | 9 years | 6/15/2008 | 5 | ADD | Sometimes would come down in the afternoon, I work 10+ hour days at times and would have to take it 3x per day to keep myself functional at work. Also, I have recently started being concerned about the levels of anxiety I've been experiencing, especially when I am overtired. | Other than the occasional anxiety, this is the absolute best solution for me and works like a dream. I have a very detail-oriented job, and it's imperative for me to be able to retain a large amount of information while focusing on a large volume of work and still be detailed about each of them as they come along. | F | 27 | 5 years | 6/12/2008 | 5 | AADD | Loss of Appetite, | It increases my ability to stick to tasks, increase short term memory, Prioritize work functions, assures completion of tasks, Less irritable, people don't get on my nerves - especially co-workers, I do not lose track of large spans of time, | M | 44 | 7 days | 6/9/2008 | 5 | not taking it yet | they seem to be less aweful then strattera side effects. I was wondeing if anyone has tryed both adderall and strattera | My doc just told me I have adult ADD duh I knew this but anyway she wants me to take strattera and i have read so many bad things about this "new" drug. Has anyone taken it and can you tell me if you had a bad result. Seems like it makes you even more unmotivated. I really want to try a more traditional drug like adderall. How should I tell my doc my fears? | F | 36 | 0 days | 6/3/2008 | 5 | chronic fatigue from LAM | Decreased sexual libido, dry mouth, too much attention to detail, tolerance decreases effectiveness, occassional facial tic | Adderall is the reason I was able to return to work after two lung surgeries. LAM, the lung disease that I have, makes me increasingly tired and depressed. When I am a lump on the couch, Adderall picks me up and allows me to work 90 hour weeks during tax season. The drug helps me perform at work except when when I get VERY wrapped up in the details of my projects and blow the budgets. I believe I would have had to quit my job for medical reasons at 25 years old if not for Adderall. I will admit, after 2 years, its difficult to continue to get the benefits on the same dose. | F | 27 | 2 years | 6/3/2008 | 5 | Troubles studying in college | Cold extremities, loss of appetite, minor headaches, some nausea, irritability-but most of these can be mitigated (lessened) by making a concerted effort to eat and sleep normally. Taking a Magnesium supplement is also very helpful | I honestly could not say more good things about it. I take 30 mg XR everyday. Overall, the drug is SERIOUSLY unbelievable. The side effects, though a pain at times, are not NEARLY as wretched as the the symptoms of ADHD, which are insufferable for me. However, I consider myself an overachiever, and I find that it helps me accomplish my goals and stay more focused and consistent in my work. I see on a lot of these archives that a lot of people seem to have a really hard time with the side effects. My best advice is to try and eat frequently throughout the day, despite the fact that you don't want to. I try to eat something light and nutritious, like a PowerBar and a Vitamin Water. The thought of eating something greasy or milky makes me sick to my stomach, so I keep it light and nutritious. I also take magnesium, which not only helps with the cold extremities but also makes the drug more effective. But honestly, if the drug is damaging your relationships with your friends and your famil | F | 22 | 3 months | 5/25/2008 | 5 | adhd | for the first five days or so, it was very hard to fall asleep. but after those five days i began to sleep fine...i started out taking 20mg and was upgraded to 30mg...if you want to eat, eat before you take the pill. if you take the pill before you eat, it will be hard to get anything down, its hard just thinking about eating when youre on this drug. three months ago i was 136lbs now im 112lbs. it has made me more awhere, and i get my work done. i fine school work eazy. although, i do see a change in my attitude...i get angery faster and i have more outburst | overall, adderall has helped me. adderall is not for everyone and if you have an eating disorder, it can be addicting. | F | 21 | 3 months | 4/21/2008 | 5 | to get hard | well i took three 30 mg's and i was hard for like 3 hours it was great ill never stop taking them | i buy them off my cus | M | 14 | 14 months | 4/14/2008 | 5 | ADD | Jittery, Anxiety, OCD, Weight loss (30 lbs),VERY IRRITABLE, Loss of Appetite. | Adderall has helped me a great deal! I do feel anxious, paranoid, jittery, obsessive compulsive, and irritable. Though the irritability is not consistent. Some days I feel Awesome! Though others start off great and end awful and depressive. But I have learned that these are only side effects, the way you feel can be controlled if you keep the right mind-set, no matter how hard it "feels." Smiling Face = Happy Place. | M | 17 | 12 months | 3/31/2008 | 5 | add | My liver hurts a lot. My heart beats fast. Sweating,dependency loss of appetite. Blurred vision | *** PLEASE READ**** Been on some sort of a.d.d medication sense i was 5. Yes it is very helpful and and i am very focused when on it. I do believe it helped me get threw high school and into college but there are long term side effects. I started wearing glasses at age 14. No one in my family wears glasses. Even stopped growing at 16, Now at age 19 i started havening liver and heart problems and i sweat when it's not even hot, only when I'm on it. Honestly I'm not sure if it was all worth it, but i am were i am today because of it. If you do have any question about this drug please email me and i will help as much as i can | M | 20 | 16 years | 3/21/2008 | 5 | Adult ADHD | Really bad cotton mouth and loss of appetite. I have lost about 15 pounds in just over 4 weeks | This drug has worked wonders for me so far. I have been on adderall for just over 4 weeks. I was put on 20mg a day (10am and 10 at 12) but was bumped up to 20am and 10 at 2 last week. IT has made a huge difference. I am calmer, able to focus, and my mood overall seems to be so much better. I have no had any negative side effect except the cotton mouth. It does not affect my sleep at all. I have lost my appetite and I do have to make myself eat- I went on a multi vitamin to make sure I am getting everything I need daily bc I just have no desire to eat at all. I have lost around 15pounds in about 5 weeks. Overall I give adderall a 10. | F | 28 | 5 weeks | 3/19/2008 | 5 | Adult ADHD | Grinding Teeth, energy, focus, no anxiety, happy, Honestly...My mind feels 100% clear, no fog, no stuttering, I feel *normal*. | This drug has saved my life, I felt awful when Ritalin failed, felt helpless. Here in michigan it seems to be a huge pain in the ass to obtain it, had to go back and fourth 3 times to the doc and the pharmacy over missing numbers and two different inks on the prescription. Adderall combined with anti-depressents made me feel weird. The side effects do go away, all I can say is...I feel normal. | M | 21 | 6 months | 3/16/2008 | 5 | add | dry mouth, rare sensitivity to extreme temperatures. | it is great i have no problem sitting though classes and my fidgeting has actually decreased a great deal. social paranoia also gone. i can have much more in depth conversations with people and actually listen to what they are saying. i cant think of anything negative about this drug besides a little drymouth in the morning. only other thing is dont take when you are driving long distances i concentrate to much on the road and cant sit back and enjoy the ride like i can when i am not on it. | M | 21 | 4 months | 3/3/2008 | 5 | Lack of "scholarly motivation" | OKAY: REAL ASSESSMENT OF ADDERALL. loss of appetite (and queasy feeling when you try to eat), severe weight loss, dramatically higher grades, euphoric feeling within the first fifteen minutes of injestion, then pure attentiveness, insomnia ONLY if taken at stupid hours of the day (like 3pm- TAKE IT IN THE MORNING!) | Okay, i began taking adderall when i was 14. i was really confident, popular, etc...i just was so disinterested in school, and a little hyperactive. i never saw an issue with my body, until i started adderall. i didn't really know too much about eating disorders...i was 5'7 and 140 lbs. and fine with it. then, while taking my 25 mg, i slowly stopped eating (little to my knowledge), got compliments from everyone & felt great all while my grades were improving. by the time i turned fifteen the next april, i was a good 123 lbs. then that august, i hit my all time low of 102 lbs. being 102 lbs in a 5'7 frame is not attractive, and the frightening part is that i saw myself as 140 lbs. age sixteen comes along and i was now a full fledged anorexic, obsessed with my weight, constantly counting calories, abusing adderall for the mere fact that i wouldn't be hungry. i'm naturally tan, and i turned pale pale pale from the lack of nutrients. then came the intervention. im a little better no | F | 17 | 3 years | 2/29/2008 | 5 | adult add / synesthesia | Speedy, hyper productivity, hyper-clear thoughts, loss of appetite, increased body temperature, mood swings, sense of being able to accomplish anything, temporary fits of rage at trivial things (not often at all), heightened sex drive, genital shrinkage (when not aroused) | I was diagnosed with adult ADD and synesthesia two years ago, when I was 23 - I am only 40% sure I have add, but 100% sure about the synesthesia (sound->cold broadband, sounds register as visual/audio/tactile sensory for me, resulting in, among other things, extreme and constant distraction, lack of focus, trailing thoughts, etc.). I've got a hyperactive imagination, and am very gifted in the arts - enough to have graduated from a renowned art college - but I never really learned the skills to harness my talents because of the add-like symptoms. Thanks to adderall, I've grown in leaps and bounds artistically in a short time, and now am operating at my full capacity. Improved my ability to learn new things, and grasp alien concepts. One thing I'd definitely say is that it is quite addictive, and no one should be taking more than 10 milligrams a day - I take 5-10, sometimes don't take it at all. Though it does give you motivation, it is far better to have the motivation yourself, and | M | 25 | 2 years | 2/26/2008 | 5 | ADD | I had none, not even withdraw when I stopped taking it cold turkey after I found out I was pregnant. | I took 30 mg of the XR daily and it was a life saver. I was so productive and just generally felt better about life. However it did not taking away my compulsive habits like spending, smoking etc.. | F | 28 | 4 months | 2/13/2008 | 5 | severe depression | dry mouth, appetite loss and subsequent weight loss, occasional difficulty with sleeping, coming off this drug has been difficult for me | I take 20mg/day and have noticed a significant difference in my mood and my ability to return to functioning normally. I was previously experiencing a severe depressive episode and adderall initially helped to boost my mood while the other drugs took their time to kick in. I have taken adderall since and really, it's the only drug that's helped with my mood disorder for a consistent period of time. I am able to accomplish much more, be there for friends and family and succeed in the workplace and at school. I have had a great deal of difficulty though when I do not take adderall for a long period of days; I'd say I pretty much depend on this drug. Like it or lump it, that's the way it is. | F | 23 | 6 months | 2/9/2008 |
