| 3 | ADD | For the first few days my stomach was upset and I had a bit of insomnia. Had more energy the first few days but that passed. | 36 yr old female - Started off taking 10 mg Adderall XR and went up to 60mg per day and it did nothing for me. Then again, I'm the type that doesn't have good luck w/ meds. I take noratriptelyne for depression (an older anti-depressant) the newer SSRI's didn't work on me - Effexor (the wonder drug) was a joke. So I may not be in the | F | 36 | 3 weeks | 6/22/2004 | 4 | adhd _bipolar | the only side effects i noticed was a dry mouth, slight rash on my chest, and an increase in sensitivity | this medication was a wonderful thing. i have been on many others this one seems to fit me better. i am able to focus. think more clearly, control anger better, and express how i am feeling in a more constructive manner. I am able to relax (sit and smell the roses)i guess you could say. not be running and getting nothing done, the constant need for movement decreased. i am on 20 in am and 10 pm we are slowly increasing (MY DOCTOR AND I) i feel this is a good medication for the right people with the right mental issiue | F | 33 | 2 months | 5/3/2004 | 4 | ADD | Loss of appetite the first weeks,then ok. At first, a bad mood when it wore off. I am finally acting more mature, but it is not as fun! I take less during the first 14 days of menstrual cycle (the good mood days!) because it took away that good mood. | I used to use my ADD hyperfocus quality to get things done, but since the Adderall, I tend to put things off because of the ability I have to restrain myself. Got rid of my impulsive speech, impulsive anger, nagging, hyper- sensitivity to criticism, & bullimia. More self-confidence. I can filter out distractions at e.g, parties and malls-I used to get mentally fatigued easily due to inability to filter. Not a cure-all, but it helps to cope with it. Starting premenopause now has thrown in another variable. | F | 49 | 3 years | 4/23/2004 | 4 | adhd depression | lack of appetite, moodiness, irritability,memory loss, anxiety | I tried many other meds for adult adhd and found this one to be the most mild with the least side effects. My skin breaks out into fluid filled sores kind of and because of the anxiety I am always scratching at them. Also I notice I forget more things and don't feel as hungry. | F | 27 | 3 years | 4/13/2004 | 3 | ADD/ADHD | Severe dry mouth and bad taste in mouth. Got worse with time. I'm considering stopping the medication because of this. | Helped me get through a few months of my final year of university. Worked best in conjunction with the shorter effects of Dexedrine. Took about 30-50mg Adderall in the morning and it was effective for about 7-8hrs. Then took 10mg of Dexedrine in the afternoon and 10mg more in the evening. Dexedrine's effects would last about 4hrs. | M | 23 | 2 months | 4/4/2004 | 2 | ADD | Loss of appetite Slight occasional headache on morning dose Lethargy until second dose of day | On 60mg/tid, switched to Adderal because 60mg/tid Ritalin was wearing off too early in the evening, it simply did not work for me. 20mg morning dose had little effect, after second 20mg noon dose imparted a feeling of energy without focus, which was useless. In my case Ritalin works much better, but the required dose to cover a 16 hour day isn't safe. Still searching. | M | 44 | 4 days | 4/3/2004 | 4 | ADHD | dry mouth, loss of appetite for the first few months, and also tremors | Adderall Works well, but like all addictive substances, your body builds tolerance. I felt that after about 4 month the dose i was on was not enough. It can be difficult to find a dose that works effeciently | F | 18 | 10 months | 3/19/2004 | 4 | Add | Change in eating habbits, weight loss | M | 20 | 2 years | 2/3/2004 | 5 | M | 28 | 5 days | 1/16/2004 | 5 | To lose weight. | F | 23 | | 1/5/2004 | 4 | ADD,ADHD | addictive | helped me to get work done and focus in school. | F | 22 | 3 years | 12/8/2003 | 3 | ADD | New prescription, 1 week - unsure of performance | F | 51 | 7 days | 8/19/2003 | 4 | ADD | increased libido, more focus, clearer thinking, better ability to concentrate | very time sensitive. the long term | M | 57 | 2 years | 5/10/2003 | 5 | confidence issues. | -sharp mood change from extremely happy to extremely depressed. -loss of appetite. -sleeplessness. -increased heart beat. | -very good for depression problems and insecurity problems. | M | 18 | 2 years | 3/7/2003 | 4 | lack of response to antidepresants | Sweating, clammyness. Also some obsessing over details. | Helped a lot with lack of will, motivation. I feel good about accomplishments. | F | 44 | 6 months | 8/15/2002 | 5 | | 7/28/2002 | 2 | ADHD | Increase in Obsessive and Impulsive behaviors such as pacing and hair-pulling. More moody and "edgy". Made me feel drugged, sedated and lethargic. | I noticed very little, if any, difference in my distractability or ability to focus on things. The other side-effects were a little better at 20mg than 30, but that's meaningless if it doesn't help anyway. Going to try Ritalin, Provigil, or Wellbutrin next. | M | 38 | 6 weeks | 7/8/2002 | 5 | low motivation | dry mouth, sour taste in mouth, jitters, complete loss of appetite, insomnia | kicks ass | F | 19 | 2 months | 4/2/2002 | 5 | Attention Defiect Disorder | headache | F | 42 | 3 months | 3/24/2002 | 5 | ADHD | Unable to eat healthy | I love it. It changed my life and helped me in ways no medicine has ever helped me. | M | 18 | 1 years | 2/10/2002 |
