| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ADDERALL 10 | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 3 | Main side effect= Joint pain. I had never had problems with my joints until I started taking this drug. The active ingredients are known to constrict the vessels in extremities( I definitely noticed my veins more constricted when i was on this ). Joints and connective tissue have a naturally poor blood supply and I believe this drug only compounded the problem. Im quite surprised that many more people have not come to the same conclusion. Second Major side effect= The day after I take this drug, I feel a bit more emotional and depressed than usual. Please be advised that all of the preceding side effects improved significantly once the following factors were optimized. Taking the optimal amount of only 5mg at about 2pm. This drug was prescribed to me for symptoms of narcolepsy/insomnia as well as ADD. | The drug improved in the areas of concentration somewhat, but mainly improved alertness. | M | 32 | 6 months | 10/19/2009 | 4 | ADD | Teeth grinding/major anxiety/bad crashes coming off the drug | I have not taken Adderrall for over two years and I still grind my teeth and clamp my jaw. The doctor told me this happens very rarely but it happens. Wish I would have known that before I took it. Had to get a mouth gard and take muscle relaxers now to help with it. The drug did, however, help me immensely. I just need my teeth. | F | 41 | 6 months | 10/18/2009 | 3 | ADHD | none, surprisingly. I was expecting to have a ton of side effects similar to those i've read on here. | I'm on only 10mg a day, and i'm starting to wonder if the dosage is too low for me to notice a difference. I still have trouble concentrating, sitting still, etc. | F | 24 | 3 weeks | 10/7/2009 | 5 | Euphoria, wakefulness, increased aggression | This product is brilliant, however you have to learn to manage it just like everything else. As soon as you start taking it, start taking magnesium supplements as well. This will cut down tolerance build up (Google it, too much to explain in one comment box). You will most likely get some increased aggression, you need to learn how to manage this. Overall, a great medication if used wisely. | M | 18 | 180 days | 10/6/2009 | 5 | ADD | Works well. Can concentrate better, more focused. Dont need it in the rec. dosage my doctor prescribed 10mg, if I only use it as needed. Plus this keeps your tolerance lower. Railing it seems to work better. | The worst part is the crash you get after using this. I can do under 10mg railed and get a full 8-10 hrs of study/hmrk time in and get good quality work done. Once I start to crash I get very depressed and need to take klonopin to ward of the anxiety and go to sleep. Just use as needed, not everyday. Everyday turned me into a total cranky bitch. | F | 32 | 3 months | 10/4/2009 | 5 | ADD | Dry Mouth, No appetite. | I've been diagnosed since I was 16. I used to take Vyvanse, but switched to Adderall. I like it so much better. I take it every morning before school and sometimes half of one right before dinner so I can sneak a quick meal in and then go finish homework. College classes are easy peasy. I am focused and organized. I always have my work completed and mostly correct. Adderall makes it easier for me to reach my goals without the struggle of not being able to concentrate in my classes and on my major. I used to daydream in class k-10th grade. Now I'm doing well in college! I'm happy. And my excessive eating is controlled and I've lost 11lbs so far :] | F | 19 | 2 months | 10/3/2009 | 4 | School | I put a 4 for Adderall because it certainly does its job. Not only does it help you focus INTENSELY, but it keeps you wide awake and makes you excited to do things you would otherwise put off. However, with that said, this drug is very dangerous. I do not have ADD, and I started taking it to study harder and do better at school. I never had problems concentrating, but it made me concentrate even more, which was great (at first). It lifted my GPA from a 3.5 to a 3.8 after only two semesters. But my body quickly developed a tolerance to it, so I had to take more and more to get the same effect. Eventually, it felt like it was doing nothing, until I was literally OD'ing on it and ended up having panic attacks while on it. I was also picking at my skin constantly, lost a ton of weight until I looked sickly, and was getting no sleep. After a few months of this hell, I flushed all the pills down the toilet. It was difficult to stop using, because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do a | F | 18 | 1 years | 9/30/2009 | 1 | ADD (not ADHD) | Irritability, aggression, paranoia. | My husband took Adderall for two years (after we could no longer afford Provigil -- no insurance) and he was a different person. He was angry ALL the time and thought the whole world was against him. He, normally an easy-going, compassionate man, betrayed friends and ruined his reputation in the community. Of course, he told his doctor that he felt great, because he did not see the affects until he went on a business trip for two weeks and forgot to take his prescription. This is a horrible drug! | F | 39 | 2 years | 9/30/2009 | 4 | Yes | Mild Loss in appetite(not too bad, it's actually good if you want to control your wieght), Dry mouth but nothing untolorable, slight nervousness, slight loss in sex drive/ sometimes difficulty acheiving an errection is probobly the only side effect that interfers with my life, but the other brands have been worse from my experience. | Does a great job at getting you through college, I don't use it all the time but when school gets rough or before a test it definitely helps out. | M | 26 | 1 years | 9/29/2009 | 4 | adult ADHD, anxiety, depression | on 20mg generic- BAD- insomnia took 10mg @ 6pm so I am stuffed for sleep tonight, headache, some confusion on the first day when the drug kicked in (DON'T DRIVE ON THE FIRST DOSE!) felt like my body was slowing down but also wanted to keep going, maybe that's the jitters? I have tense muscles in my shoulders and have a tension headache which is not helping with the sleep sitch. GOOD-no racing thoughts today, was able to listen to long conversation without broken concentration, anxiety is gone, I have better contol of my emotions....a bit early to say anything difinative. | YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY! DID MY TAXES!!!!!!YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! I have been so worked up and anxious about not doing them that it was becoming a huge problem. Took the adderall this morning and not only did I do my taxes I didn't anxious once....now if only I could get some sleep to celebrate.....YAAAAAAAYYYY! this is huge. | F | 27 | 1 days | 9/26/2009 | 5 | Experimentation | Loss of appetite, dry mouth | My son was prescibed it and I always try his meds once first. (if it makes my heart race it'll probably will him too) is my logic. Anyway, wow! I felt very happy, social and extremely focused and really productive. I have never cleaned my house like that ever! It's like your brain takes over all the decision making and the figuring out things and everything becomes easy. I only took it a couple of times but I could see how this drug could become really addictive. I felt happier on this than I had in years, nothing bothered me and everything rolled off my back. Definately not reality can see it being really dangerous for someone who is running away from their problems. I think for someone with ADHD it may give them the focus they need but they should be strictly monitored for addiction. | F | 39 | 3 days | 9/24/2009 | 4 | A.D.D. | ME: male, 22 (healthy) DOSAGE: 5-15mg per day (I choose) GOOD: Increased focus (useful), mental, physical, psychological energy. Increased confidence. Euphoria (sometimes). life-changing thoughts (good ones). NEUTRAL: increase/decrease in sexual drive BAD: fatigue (mild to severe), cotton mouth, aching back (sometimes), head-aches WORSE THAN BAD: what I don't know about the drugs long term side effects | Adderall is a gift from the looming spires of Olympus. I usually chill in those clouds when I'm on it, before dropping back straight into the world where I am not as mentally or physically agile (at least, I don't act as agile when I'm not on it.) I feel Adderall is appropriately named, perhaps after the "adder", a venomous snake, and should be regarded equally as dangerous, or as tempting (should biblical interpretations of the snake be keen) solely because one can die of an adderall overdose AND adderall can be a tempting drug to abuse. Adderall is useful. It increases my focus. It allows me to get good grades. It allows me to finish my homework. It allows me to study *effectively*, something I have never been able to do without it since I was a wee little boy. Adderall makes me feel "awake" and "in control of myself". Adderall is AmAzInG. In sum, being on Adderall convinces me that I have ADD. Being sober from Adderall convinces me I am a drug addict. | M | 22 | 8 months | 9/23/2009 | 5 | School | good- increased concentration and motivation, raised GPA from a 2.9 to a 3.14 while taking harder classes, decreased appetite bad- headache, some nausea, increased urination, muscle twitches, increased desire to smoke, decreased sex drive, irritability, dry mouth | i would recommend college students taking this if they need help concentrating or studying. i don't know what i would do without it. my grades, notes, and study habits have GREATLY improved. | F | 23 | 3 years | 9/21/2009 | 3 | Generalized Anxiety; ADHD ADULT | I have been taking Adderall 10 mg tablet's for almost four years now. Although; I had known and was diagnosed as a child, I waited until I was able to understand/acknowledge ADHD/as well as the treatments involved. I will; and might be the only one it seems! Say; that I have had no problem's with Adderall. I had been diagnosed to take 30 mg (3 twice daily)=60.. (However; I was content with 20mg; often times 10mg in the morning as well in the evening. I did not notice any difference in my eating habits; loss of weight; and CERTAINLY NOT A DIFFERENCE IN SKIN!. HOWEVER; I did get my prescriptin filled about two months ago (Not realizing that the distributer had changed)-And took one pill; ended up in bed for the best of the day. Downward spiral. Adderall prior; was not an addictive substance in my life, rather helped me cope and manage every day life. Now; I take it and feel worse/depressed/unfocussed/sick to my stomach/dizzy at times/and I also feel as if I have taken a sedative drug rat | I rated Adderall A 3; only due to the fact that BARR (Adderall's new distribution company) Has CHANGED the actual components in the drug; an the sad part; the FDA approved it!! Since the change; It has been a struggle, and now have to change medication's.(Which I'm sure Barr is happy about!) Not sure how they have the ability to change the components in a drug such as this?! Although several people do abuse it; there are a lot of us that actually really do NEED it to maintain an every day lifestyle. | F | 25 | 4 days | 9/15/2009 | 3 | ADD | ACNE, euphoria, depressive crash | Honestly Adderall worked great. I hated the depressive crash..even that was tolerable for me. However, what ISN'T tolerable is the HORRIFIC ACNE this pill gave me! I have always had crystal clear skin my whole life. I have done every single thing known to man to fix this acne, and NOTHING has gotten rid of it. Right now I want to cry because I have never in my life had such terrible skin. I'm going off of Adderall..at least until my skin clears up. I like the drug, but NOTHING is worth this horrible skin side effect. | F | 22 | 9 months | 9/10/2009 | 5 | ADHD, panic attacks, depression | Dry mouth, sweating. Adderall saved me. I used to always "leap before looking" and could not manage money, never finished anything, & went out partying all the time. I was impulsive and acted on all impulses. I used to lose my temper all the time and just would not think about consequences before doing anything. I feel like this drug has helped me grow up. My home is organized, my bank account is not overdrawn, I've kept a job for more than 1.5 years, & best thing I am engaged to be married! Adderall 20mg 2x per day keeps me calm, cool, & collected. Have been on it for 4 yrs now and have not had a speeding ticket, have been in a stable relationship for 3 years, & have money in savings! Best thing, my parents understand my bad behavior from the past & our relationship has gotten 100% better. | F | 31 | 4 years | 9/2/2009 | 3 | ADHD | muscle tension, joint aches. | I took this in combination with cymbalta to counteract the fatigue effects of the latter. This worked fabulously. I was awake and focused, with no more short term memory loss. I also did not suffer any crashes like I did with ritalin. The downside came with an increase in muscle tension and joint aches. My extremities constantly felt like I was fighting rubber bands to move them, and I had very uncomfortable pain in my joints. I tried to stick it out to see if I acclimated, but after three weeks, it was a no go. | M | 41 | 3 weeks | 8/30/2009 | 4 | ADHD/depression | elevated mood, very talkative, irritated eyes, skin issues (not sure if it's just the Adderall doing it), chronic depression when wearing off, compulsive over eating issues gone, blurry vision, dry mouth, teeth grinding | It is GREAT when you're on it, when it wears off it's hell. On Adderall I experience an elevated mood..partially because ADD/depression makes my mood low. Also because it is a side effect of it. On it I feel positive, focused, talkative and pleasant. When it's wearing off I feel chronically depressed. I can totally understand why this drug is prone for abuse. I've experienced some skin problems a few months after I started taking it. I believe it's due to the Adderall. It's somewhat minor and I'm working on fixing it. Overall I love/hate Adderall. It's help in so many ways, but it has done some bad in other ways. I don't like crying every night because of my depressive crash. & I'm already on 60 mg a day and I feel tolerance building..already after 8 months. | F | 21 | 8 months | 8/14/2009 | 5 | Extreme difficulty focusing. | I have very slight joint pain, and sometimes I get headaches. But I get headaches a lot, and it's hard to blame the adderall. I have bouts of insomnia, but again, I had them before the drug. | I wish I'd been able to admit my focus and concentration problems were serious years ago. I have been more productive in the past three months than in the past three years. My main fear was a loss of creativity (I am a writer as well as a programmer), but I seem to be sharper and more creative. My professional and hobby work has both benefited greatly from this. I see no signs of addiction -- I am not yet done with my June supply, despite using it mostly-daily. It's very easy for me to not take if I know I won't need to focus on work -- I don't take it unless I have work planned. | M | 44 | 90 days | 7/29/2009 | 5 | ADHD | The major side effect is loss of appetite. Minor side effects I have experienced include increase in mood and headaches (although rare and easily cured by a couple Advils). | How could you not expect side effects with a drug that increases cognitive performance and makes it easy to lose weight? In reality the side effects are minimal at best. Actually, I prefer the side effects as I enjoy the reduced appetite. For me, it makes it easier to not eat crap like french fries, pizza, ice cream, etc--all of which are 100 times harder for me to resist when I am really hungry. In addition, I have not ever experienced any signs of addiction and/or dependence with Adderall. I am prescribed approx. 40 mg a day, and I have gone through periods where I have taken it every day for several weeks at a time. However, never once has it been difficult to stop taking it. In fact, I do it every week--I typically do not take it on the weekends. One thing I will say is that Adderall is very similar to of other drugs in that you can build up a tolerance. However, if this bothers you, then you are likely taking it for the wrong reasons--in my opinion. | M | 29 | 3 years | 7/17/2009 |
