| 4 | Unable to concentrate/ADHD | Headache, trouble falling asleep, some dizziness and mostly loss of appetite.. I lose 7lbs the first week I was on it. | It really helps me in school. I have a hard time concentrating on a subject too long, and that's something you have to do in college. My GPA was 3.7. The loss of appetite thing was good too b/c I usually eat so unhealthy and so much food and my diet is a lot healthier now. I recommend it to anyone! | F | 3 months | 5/5/2005 | 4 | yes | good urges to clean, good loss af appetite, good ability to concentrate, mild jitterness good means it was a good improvement for me, mild means it wasnt bad | it worked wonderfully | F | 12 | 2 days | 5/1/2005 | 5 | A friend let me try it | Unable to sleep if too close to bedtime. | I was doing some homework and my friend let me try one to motivate myself. Wow, this stuff is great. I am usually pretty fatiqued and unmotivated. This gave me a kick and I was so into it.I took it one more time and it really makes me a different person, more sociable, intimate, etc. I am unsure how to get my doctor to prescribe it for me though. I think it would help every once in awhlie though, I wouldn't want to take it everyday. Just when I need to be focused. | F | 24 | 2 days | 4/16/2005 | 4 | Depression, ADD | Increased Irritability; Decreased Appetite (lost 15 lbs. in 3 mos.); Insomnia; Increase in OCD tendencies; | The decrease in appetite is nice for weight loss, but this effect doesn't last long. Increase in energy, concentration, and motivation are awesome, but when it interferes with sleep it sucks. Sometimes I become fixated on things that are unimportant, and this keeps from getting important things done. For the most part, I love the drug, but I'm afraid to try taking a break from it because I might discover that I'm addicted to it. The high probability for dependency scares me a lot. I wouldn't recommend it if you have an addictive personality. | F | 21 | 11 months | 4/4/2005 | 5 | ADD, HF Predevelopmental Disorder | Increased my HAPPINESS, Emotional Growth & Openness w/others (often times inappropriately),Motivation, THIRST, hunger for Comfort Foods. Craving for more. At Above normal dose Greater DISTRATABILITY OR FIXATION, Fear, Insecurity & Aggressiveness. Less Patience, Inhibitions, Hunger, Fear, Fatigue, Sadness | I have difficulty integrating what I see and hear & Adderral with Lexapro is best for me. Lexapo increases the effectiveness of Adderall for me and has the fewest sexual side effects. You will find any reason to take more. But isn't always worth it, instead find ways to improve yourself w/o more. Adderal has intensified, so many fights and makes you feel invincible and naked at the same time. Most drugs are either up or down this is both. I am able to accept myself, because I am no longer restrained by slow mental processing. Please don't ruin the reputation of this pharmacuatical. It was used in wars for a reason, I think even JFK took it to fight the side effects of Addisons disease. Don't take more if you are sad or angry or you will hurt everyone you love, including yourself. Stratera worked ok, but felt like I was high on cough medicine (bad memories) and with Ritalin I got a bad rash, bad temper. | M | 26 | 2 years | 3/27/2005 | 2 | ADDHD | extreme dry mouth, jaw pain | M | 42 | 14 days | 3/12/2005 | 3 | ADHD | Loss of appetite, insomnia, | It really helped with my impulsiveness-I don't blurt out things as much, I can stop myself from asking too many questions-it helps with this aspect of my OCD. It also helps with my physical hyperactivity. Others have noticed that I seem more calm. It has not helped with my focus which is a big problem for me. I'm going to try Concerta. If that doesn't work then I'll go back to the Adderall XR. | F | 38 | 1 months | 3/8/2005 | 1 | ADD | At first adderall was a great solution...but after months I became addicted and lead to depression. | M | 16 | 7 months | 2/25/2005 | 4 | ADD | Weight loss(25lbs), jitteriness, social phobia, nervousness, anxiety, insomnia, depression | I started taking this medicine after getting over the idea that it wasn't for | F | 17 | 7 months | 2/22/2005 | 4 | ADHD/ADD | Dry mouth, Mild insomania, mild constipation and a rash on my forearm - I have been taking 30Mg a day for about a month | It has made an improvement in my life. | M | 39 | 30 days | 2/18/2005 | 4 | adhd | sleep problems now better | I know take 60 mg daily with good effect. I have noticed thta I tend to obsess or perseverate on tasks. | M | 45 | 4 times | 2/16/2005 | 5 | ADHD, Depression, Weightloss | Dry mouth, insomnia, irritability, jitters | Since I've started taking Adderall, I've been doing much better in classes, but I'm starting to find myself confused about the social life aspect. My best friend and I have been kind of distant for the past 4 months, and I used to be heartbroken, but now, I'm not caring as much. Also, I find myself caring less and less about having friends/hanging out/etc in general. I focus on my grades more. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm really confused. Please e-mail me!!!! | F | 16 | 2 months | 2/9/2005 | 5 | add | none | M | 22 | | 2/8/2005 | 5 | ADD | Loss of appetite, weight loss (which I did not mind at all), jittery, and a bad taste in my mouth. | Happy with the results, everything has gotten better. My grades are ALOT better and I feel that I have more of a social life. I have tried Concerta, Ritalin and Straterra and Adderall is the only one that has worked for me. | F | 18 | 4 months | 2/6/2005 | 4 | ADHD | irritability, thirst/sour taste in mouth, sweaty palms, no appetite, drowsiness. | I was just recently diagnosed with ADHD, and I have been taking Adderall for a week. My doc started me on one 20mg pill in the morning each day; the first two days I took it were intense...it was like being high on cocaine for 48hrs straight. This is evening out as my body builds up a tolerance, it just gives me the boost in the morning I need to get out of bed and apply myself in school. The improvement in concentration was immediate. The downside? I'm very irritable, I can't eat (expect substantial weight loss), and once it wears off I'm very tired. Also, which is kind of weird...when I'm on it, I have no desire for sex. But when it wears off I CRAVE it! Has anyone else experienced this? | F | 18 | 1 weeks | 2/6/2005 | 5 | adult add, not able to filter | when wearing off hunger, then fatique. usually after four hours. I dose at 8 am and then again at noon. this seems to work well for me. | F | 47 | 3 months | 1/30/2005 | 5 | not concentrating | insomnia, appetite loss, jittery feelings, sore jaw from clenching | really helped me concentrate and absord information, but i was never hungry, and couldn't sleep | F | 18 | 1 months | 1/25/2005 | 4 | ADHD | loss of appetite, somber mood | helped me concentrate and I was less annoying to others, improved my social life | F | 15 | 5 years | 1/21/2005 | 3 | ADD | I am only on my second day- 10mg in the morning and another 10 around noon. It actually is making me feel a little foggy for a while. It doesn't seem to last long. Everything I have heard or read says loss of appetite. Actually i was looking forward to it, but I am hungry all the time! Anybody know why? | F | 49 | 2 days | 1/19/2005 | 4 | irratiblity, depression | dry mouth, occasional insomnia, reduced appetite, weight loss | I have enjoyed this drug. Being a 20 year sober addict however, I am concerned about this sense of | M | 52 | 50 days | 1/10/2005 |
