| 3 | CFS Exhaustion | I was prescribed Addarell a few days ago and I admit that I am stalling on taking my 1st dose...now reading everyones description on this site makes me feel even more nervous...I read the good and the bad when it comes to this drug...my question to you all is...do you think it's safe and ok if I only took it when I needed it instead of taking it every day! btw I'm 42 and have had Lupus for 12 years & Fibromyalgia for 5 years. | I rated this drug a 2 even though I haven't tried it...I had to rate in order for my post to go through | F | 42 | 0 days 15 1X day | 10/6/2011 | 1 | ADHD / IMPULSE CONTROL DISORDER | At first, as is always said, this drug does WONDERS. But give it time, and I promise you the outcome will not be good. Constant desire to move tongue around (voluntary dyskinesia) perioids of energy followed by EXTREME FATIGUE and MALAISE, which will get worse as your body adapts. Tachycardia (resting heart rate 115) | How I wish my psychiatrist would have told my parents, here is a new drug...it is just a few steps down from Meth.. but...we call it....Adderall. Dopamine: Recent research is showing that Adderall can DEPLETE dopamine in --certain--areas of the brain. This makes common sense. Moreover, other research (Harvard, Columbia) is showing it can cause genes to "express themselves early" TRANSLATION It ages you. I noticed after 1 year, my hair was turning white, Besides Dopamine depletion, research is now suggesting Adderall can possible cause Parkinson's disease. This is all valid, cogent information, which makes sense, Please......please....don't start. If you must, a much more safe drug is Provigil (and its new counterpart) | M | 27 | 2 years 30 2X day | 10/6/2011 | 4 | Bipolar, ADHD | Dry mouth, loss of appetite, | As opposed to being on ritalin, this drug does work if you are ACTUALLY ADHD, and not using it for substance abuse. I would recommend this for ADHD but not ADD. If you are truly, and I mean TRULY ADHD or ADD, you will NOT get a speedy feeling. There is no rush. You're just calm and more focused. If you're receiving a speedy euphoria, this is not the drug for you. | F | 21 | 2 months 30mg 2X day | 10/4/2011 | 5 | Depressed, couldn't focus | Dry mouth, euphoria, catch myself grinding my teeth or making sounds with mouth that only I can hear. | Without this drug I had no desire to go to work (and I own my own business) I'm on morphine sulfate for 3 herniated disc so the pain meds are required, but they drain me. I have no problem sleeping because I take my dose at 4:45am. It helps me to stay busy I don't get distracted as much as I used to and have an optimistic out view. This med can be hard to get because of what it is but there are some good doctors that see the benefit over the side affects. | M | 44 | 3 months 40 1X day | 9/29/2011 | 5 | ADHD | Dry Mouth, Weight Loss, Jaw Clinching | I was diagnosed late in life (age 55). The doctor I was seeing insisted I was suffering from depression, and put me on every anti-depressant available over a four year period. Finally, I went to a psychiatrist, and after a few visits, put me on Adderall. It was like someone flipped a light switch on in my head. The fogginess was gone, my legacy of procrastination came to an end, and as a bonus, I dropped some of the useless extra weight picked up during my boredom binges. My dosage is higher than most because the testing also indicated a history of moderate narcolepsy (would sometimes fall asleep at my desk for 20 minutes, and not realize I had been asleep until I looked at the clock). I highly recommend the product. One strange thing, though. I am starting to gain weight again (almost half of what I lost), and was wondering if that has happened to anyone else. | M | 61 | 6 years 40 2X day | 6/27/2011 | 4 | ADHD Diagnosis- NOT ADHD | Thirst, VERY low appetite, dizziness, palpitations, nervousness, increased irritability | LOVE the fact that I have lost weight but is not helping the real problem I have, being a complete B****. I am angry, irritable.. MD thought I was like that bc of racing thoughts due to ADHD... i feel better but people around me think I have gone insane bc it is making my irritability worse! | F | 24 | 3 months 10mg 3X day | 6/14/2011 | 4 | ADHD | out of breath easier, appetite has changed | tremendously beneficial for me when it comes to school and work. i've managed 3 semesters of straight A's. a life saver for a berkeley student | M | 23 | 8 months 30 2X day | 6/4/2011 | 3 | ADD | Increased Thirst, Slight confusion and loss of short term memory, Dramatically increased sex drive, tiredness, lack of hunger during the day resulting in overeating at night, aches. Desire to crack knuckles, rub eyes and bite finger nails. anxiety. decreased tolerance of high temperatures | This Drug greatly improved my grades in school, but I've always noticed these side effects from taking it. | M | 17 | 4 months 20 1X day | 6/3/2011 | 3 | Excessive exuberance, overly chatty, subconscious jaw issues such as biting cheeks, biting nails, and overall anxiety. The drug either made me feel extremely up with elation and a can-do attitude - to complete fatigue and burn out. It was also largely dependent on the manufacturer and batch. | I was diagnosed with ADD as as child but my parents opted not to put me on medication. I always tested off the charts but was not interested in school, doing homework, or putting the time into completing anything. I could barely remember to take the garbage out as a kid. Throughout my life I have constantly been on the hook with everyone for forgetting things I said I'd do. It wasn't until college that I got in a groove of doing something I loved that I really excelled with stellar grades. After college I found myself in the doldrums of working for corporate clients as a creative in an extremely competitive and abusive field. I was miserable and unable to keep up with anything that I didn't care passionately about. A psychology major girlfriend of mine at the time suggested that I go on ADD medication as she was never happy with who I was or my energy level. So I did. At first things seemed great but over the years Adderal robbed me of my personality and made me more intense and defensive than I normally am. Most importantly, I believe being on Adderall contributed to the downfall of several work relationships, including emotionally turning the back on people that loved me deeply because I was not able to reciprocate their feelings while I was medicated. In the end I would say the Rx took more from me than it gave. I'm still a mad creative, still absent minded and slow to motivate (especially on lame tasks) but I'd rather be myself than to be an emotionless automaton… | M | 31 | 2.5 years 15mg 2X day | 5/30/2011 | 4 | ADHD | Aside from very dry mouth, I was more energetic and able to have mental focus but for only short bursts of a few hours. I opted for this as an alternative to Vyvanse which is the superior medication except Vyvanse is prohibitively expensive. I only take the 15mg in the morning because this med is hard on the cardiovascular system and tough out the crash at middday. Its better than nothing and there are benefits to it, but my intent is to eventually go back to the Vyvanse. | It is certainly better than nothing for extreme ADHD, but is very harsh on the cardiovascular system. This drug demands respect. | F | 57 | 1 years 15mg bid 2X day | 5/26/2011 | 4 | ADHD | At first, I had difficulty falling asleep and would get a bit paranoid at night, but now that my body has adjusted I fall asleep fine and no paranoia. My jaw sometimes clenches a bit. I get a bit to focused sometimes and when someone distracts me I tend to bite their head off. | Overall Adderall has helped me a great deal. I am calmer, more focused and feel like some one did spring cleaning in my brain. Everything is crisper and easier to understand. | F | 23 | 4 months 30 MG 1X day | 5/25/2011 | 5 | Add | I randomly feel like fighting when some one interupts me while I'm doing my work and I can't eat that well and I have Lost 15 pounds and I have been takin it for 6 months and when I first started it was a whole lot better now I barely feel it but still enough to make me do my work | It works amazing on the Work side of it and I never feel lazy and I always feel like doing some productive | M | 16 | 40mg a day 2X day | 5/10/2011 | 3 | focus on school work | Extreme insomnia, light headed, heart rate increased, suicidal thoughts, depression, numbness in hands and arms, hard time breathing, irritable, crying | I'm not prescribed. About 6months ago I took 100 mg of adderall around 7pm, yeah. Not a fantastic idea. I had complete insomnia. I read an entire textbook (which took me 7 hours)! I was fine throughout the day, I was only hyper and very twitchy. Later that day, I decided to look up symptoms of adderall because they were lasting longer than I was told they should. As soon as I started reading the side effects, I immediatly felt light headed, started to black out, and ran into my bed. I started having a bad panic attack. My vision became blurry. My arms tingly and numb. Heart racing. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I waited it out ater trying to eat something and slept it off. But it was a crazy experience. | F | 18 | 1 days 50 MG 2X day | 5/6/2011 | 4 | impatience, intensity, focus | 12 pound weight loss (from size 8 to size 6), biting cheeks, grinding teeth, difficulty sleeping, no appetite, urge to smoke cigarettes | I had issues with 'intensity', impatience and focus. Since day 1 of being on Adderall I am a completely different driver, conversationalist, listener and employee. The drug is amazing yet I am terrified because it is an amphetamine and I know that can't be good. I'm not going to lie, the weight-loss benefits I knew of before going on it were a slight motivator as well and I've lost 12 pounds. Its exciting and yet addictive. My health insurance company will only pay for this prescription for a year so I know it won't be a long-term thing. | F | 36 | 5 weeks 15 1X day | 4/17/2011 | 5 | Adult ADHD Recent Diagnosis | Loss of appetite, insomnia if I take after 3PM. | I've probably been grappling with inattentive ADHD since I was a kid. Well, I know I have, now. I wish I'd known about ADHD and this drug 20 years ago. I'd have saved myself a lot of pain in life. I've struggled with fatigue, absentmindedness, procrastination, guilt, inability to finish projects. I was always waiting for my employer or coworkers to "discover" what a half-ass I was at work. Anyway, the Adderall is making such a difference in my life. About an hour after I take it, I feel it kick in: Normally I am jittery, irritable, stressed, and my mind races constantly from topic to topic, and I have a hard time getting started on anything. Once it kicks in, I am calmer. I feel like the world is an okay place and all the things I worry about are going to be just fine. The lack of anxiety and absence of racing thoughts really helps me concentrate, and I can get a normal amount of work done in a day. I am less irritable, more focused, and generally happier. The effect lasts about 4 hours, then it wears off. I know others experience a significant comedown. I just feel kind of tired, like you might after a long day of working. As long as I take my last dose before 2PM, I have no problems sleeping. So far, so great. I feel like such a burden has been lifted from me. | F | 43 | 5 weeks 10 2X day | 4/8/2011 | 4 | Was diagnosed with ADD | Problem sleeping, dry mouth, lack of appetite, lost 6 pounds , dehydrated, head aches. | It has helped me to focus, and get a hold of my life. I feel like the majority of the side effects, went away by week three. When i look backward, i wish that i had been treated before the age of 42, i would have probably made it through colllege. Sincerely, | M | 42 | 35 days 10MG 3X day | 4/3/2011 | 3 | A.D.D. | fever, chills, hard to swallow, rapid heart rate, extreme anxiety, cotton mouth, tingle through arms. | took it through kindergarden to high school. havent taken it since 2005 and just now been taking it for 2days and im worried. i called my doctor she said i am not use to it, ill be fine, she.ll lower my dose but i look at the side effects warnings and it explains my effects to be an overdose!!! go figure! so i have to wait it out, and deal with this bullshit. | F | 23 | 2 days 30mg 1X day | 4/1/2011 | 2 | ADHD | Tics (such as stuttering, the desire to move my tongue over the roof of my mouth, clearing my throat) dry mouth, hair loss, tingling in legs, increased heart rate (over 100) and teeth/gum problems. | Remember...this is amphetamine (Adderall, of course, sounds so much better). In the beginning, you will, of course, love the medication...but in the end, it will harm your body and mind. Moreover, some studies have shown that it can 1) eventually deplete dopamine in the brain 2) can "speed" up the way genes express themselves (ie increase the aging process) | M | 30 | 1 years 30 1X day | 3/31/2011 | 5 | narcolepsy | dry mouth, sometimes too concentrated | M | 18 | 7 months 12.5 6X day | 3/29/2011 | 3 | help with mania/add | It takes about an hour to 'kick in'. Then I get highly motivated to educate myself. It helps me a lot with completing my assignments and staying focused especially in paper writing. The 'coming down' absolutely sucks though. Feel incredibly agitated and almost lethal. Sometimes I feel this overwhelming need to clean. It's weird. | TAKE CHELATED MAGNESIUM WITH YOUR ADDERALL. psychiatrists won't tell you this but this is they key to not feeling like shit when it starts to wear off. SOLGAR has a great chelated magnesium supplement that has done wonders to help me when i come down. i usually take 2 with an adderall and one after it has worn off. | F | 20 | 2 years 10 mg 1X AN | 3/22/2011 |
