| 5 | depression, sleepiness, adult add | The first few days there was some euphoria and a bit of dry mouth. Also, insomnia b/c I took it too late in the day (after noon). First two doses I did notice extreme fatigue late in evening, but not after that. Yes, you will notice a decrease in your appetite, but as an adult you will be able to work with that and get your meals in. | I am 42 y/o and have tried at least ten or more meds for depression over the past decade. I finally asked for Adderall from my treating physician after I read it helped for those with treatment resistant depression (was taking Lexapro/wellbutrin). I just started taking 20mg once a day along with 10mg of Lexapro and I feel much, much more consistent in my mood -- as other's have said, increased focus, consistent energy (before I would nap up to three times a day--even after 9 hours of sleep) and loads of patience. My mind is much more calm & peaceful. So far I have been able to take it for a few days at a time, skip a day or more without consequence -- I notice that when I'm taking it I feel much more centered, productive, motivated, clear and consistent. I also don't feel overwhelmed by simple tasks and I can sit at my desk and work without getting completely distracted and unmotivated. I don't notice a "craving" for Adderall, or a distinct "crash" at the e | F | 42 | 3 weeks | 12/25/2008 | 1 | Adult onset ADHD | This drug made me very jittery, talkative, at first made me feel kind of "high", but I got a headache when it wore off yesterday and it makes it hard to sleep. Also, VOMITTING anything I tried to eat! | I've only started this drug but am concerned because I just tried to eat twice and threw it all back up. Should I be concerned? Should I stop taking it? Maybe these are the initial uncomfortable side effects until the drug "settles" into my body. | F | 33 | 2 days | 12/21/2008 | 3 | ADD/OCD | Muscle twitches in head and neck, super sensitivity, insomnia (eyelids won't close), shit out my brains, alertness, happiness, focus, on comedown : binge eating, depression, crave for cigarettes | Started taking 50 mg Adderall XR a year and a half ago. All was well until about 3 or 4 months ago. It began with extreme cravings for cigarettes on the comedown and in addition I stopped sleeping. I have had insomnia in the past and did not attribute it, at first, to the adderall becuase it had not affected me in such a manner previously. Becuase adderall also makes me super sensitive to noises (it's a psychological), any noise I would hear when I would try to sleep would become extremely bothersome and I thus began wearing ear plugs to bed. I thought I could hear things through the ear plugs so I invested in over the head ear protection (in addition to the ear plugs) for maximum sound dapening. This was not the worst of the problem. I began to believe that it was impossible for me to sleep more than 3 hours and I one night remember feeling like I could not keep my eyelids closed. THey just would not stay shut. Thus I began, in addition to wearing both earplugs and ear protection, tap | F | 20 | | 12/20/2008 | 4 | Late Diagnosis of ADHD | Typically, more focus and steadier mood, lack of appetite. Occasional side effects: nausea, panic/anxiety, energetic/sleeplessness or drained, extremely painful jaw-clenching (like, "hurts so bad it feels like my jaw is dislocated" painful), tension headaches, painful lower back, dry lip/chewing on lips, weight loss, feeling strong compulsions to do repetitive tasks/worsening of obsessional thoughts (I've been diagnosed with OCD before taking Adderall, however), fluctuation between dry or oily skin, mild mood swings, (oddly enough) overwhelming urge to smoke much more than I typically do. | I take 10mg Adderall 3x/day for recently diagnosed ADHD, that my mother is sure I have had for years (since I was a child). I'm not sure but I believe that all of the occasionally side effects only happen when I have 1) unintentionally mixed the medication with too much caffeine (I drink a LOT of black tea throughout the day), 2) stupidly forgotten a dose and decide to take two at a time (!!!), and 3) been getting over a very bad flu. Only this last week or so when I've been in the utter pits of despair, sick with the flu, have I ever noticed the sheer amount of cigarettes that I've been puffing through or the extent of how much I was clenching my jaw. I now feel as though my checks are puffed with acorns and that I can't completely close my mouth due to a "phantom" dislocated jaw. Same goes for pretty much all the other "occasional" side effects. One the POSITIVE side: It took me SO SO SO long, and my mother actually agreeing to come and talk to the psychiat | F | 22 | 10 months | 12/19/2008 | 2 | ADD/ School focus | Major hunger loss, weight loss, euphoria, increased sex drive, higher energy levels, increased thinking capacity, increase focus/motivation, gradual decrease in social skills, gradual decrease in self-cofidence, addiction/ cravings, penile shrinkage, decrease of interest in sex over time, and major STUNTED GROWTH | At first I HATED adderall, but my mom forced 40 mg a day down my throat starting in 8th grade for my "ADD" and by the middle of 9th grade I absolutely LOVED it; it made me feel upbeat, content, and just overall euphoric. I was prescribed 30mg in the morning and 10mg in the afternoon all the way through the end of my senior year. But it never helped me with school, it was only a "high" to enjoy. My appetite was so suppressed that I never ate breakfast or lunch, and came home after school still not hungry and ate a crappy dinner, and this pattern went on for the entire 5 years. I was 5 foot 8 when I hit puberty in 8th grade and due to the wonderful Adderall, my body didnt grow a single centimeter after I hit puberty because of malnutrition, and I didn't have any idea any of this was happening at the time! So I graduated high school in the same 5 foot 8 skeletal boy body that I was in pre-puberty. And when I say my whole body didnt grow during puberty, I literally m | M | 20 | 5 years | 12/18/2008 | 4 | Adult ADD | Loss of appetite, Insomnia, anxiety, paranoia, laxative properties, increased heart rate, mild euphoria, antisocial (want to be alone), introverted, increased nervous tics (eye twitches, jaw adjusting, etc), mild depression, tension in shoulders and neck, dry mouth, cravings for more of it | This drug helps me sit down and do otherwise boring homework. I am interested and completely commited to whatever I am doing. There are a lot of side effects...mostly the twitching thing (which can be emabarassing), so I only take it when I absolutely have to. Also increased OCD (check things more than normal). I feel like a crazy person. I am an addict so it's a constant struggle to stay on top of my motives for taking it. Great for cleaning the house! | F | 27 | 3 months | 12/15/2008 | 4 | I experienced a shrinking of my penis and testicles. In addition, during sexual intercourse I experienced pre-mature ejaculation every time. However, I have never felt more focused and attentive to my partner's needs. I highly recommend it. | M | 19 | | 12/15/2008 | 1 | A.D.D | Depression. Mood swings. stomach pain. phycotic episodes. Suicidal thoughts. | I was a bad student my entire life until I was prescribed to Adderall. I went from a 2.0 student to a 3.5 and it got me into college. At college I realized It was altering my personality. It would made me antisocial and weird in an social situations. I am usually outgoing, love to laugh, fool around and easy going. Adderall made me someone im not and stole my soul. It would made me depressed to the point where I actually debated suicide and that would be crazy to anyone who knew me off the drug. Finally I had a complete phycotic episode thought I was dying and freaked completely out. This drug is so bad. Don't take it if you want to keep your sanity. Even if you think your ok now, things can change quickly. You will get the grades but at what cost? | M | 19 | 1 years | 12/15/2008 | 4 | Adult ADD, Fibromyalgia | Well, I went from less than a pack of cigs a day to about a pack and a half or more. Can't sleep. I have an extensive, extreme history of addiction (to everything). Teeth grinding. Temperature fluctuations. I feel like my eyelids are sewn to my forehead because my eyes are so wide open they feel like they're about to pop out of my head. Obsessed with cleaning or *doing* something. Extremely dry mouth. Oh, and did I mention SMOKING? Irritated when I don't have anything to DO. I CREATE things to do, like rearranging, refolding and color coding my children's clothes. I can't eat. Started back on Adderall (IR) on Tuesday. I was at 198 lbs that morning... (hey, I'm almost 6' tall, so I'm not THAT overweight... AND I had a baby 6 months ago... 4 C-Sections) now at 188, weighed wearing the same exact clothes. 10 lbs in 4 days. Which is extremely odd, because I'm usually carrying water weight the week before "Aunt Flo" comes to visit every month. | First I'd like to quote from a 30 y.o. female below... "What I can't stand is people who obtain prescriptions for this drug to help with studies. You people are the reason my therapist waited 2 years before putting me on this drug. " THANK YOU! I completely agree. People with LEGITIMATE problems should take this drug. Taking it recreationally or getting it from friends is not only stupid, but illegal. If you're taking it to study, well, good for you I guess, but I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a B.S. degree at EIGHT AND A HALF MONTHS PREGNANT, at which time I was NOT on Adderall. Anyway, I'm finally able to get up off the couch and do something. I have been on Zoloft, Serzone, Effexor, Paxil, Prozac, Celexa, Lexapro, Xanax, Valium, Ativan, Klonopin, Librium, Lamictal, Depakote, Abilify, Risperdal, Seroquel, Geodon... and I'm quite positive I'm missing a few. I've been being treated for 10 years for the wrong thing. Bipolar (which I have NEVER had a manic episode), b | F | 31 | 6 months | 12/13/2008 | 4 | ADD | Dry mouth, a bit tired when it wears off. | I was diagnosed with ADD at a late age. I was having problems concentrating and functioning at work. This med has helped me be able to work better and interact better with people. I so wish I could have found out about my ADD earlier. Do not hesitate to try (under doctor's supervision) of course. | F | 50 | 7 months | 12/10/2008 | 4 | ADHD (primarly inattentive type) | not enough sleep, some muscle tightness(including chest pains), more aggressive, weight loss | i'm taking 30mg XR, it's really changed my life, i was very depressed and sluggish before being medicated and now i feel a lot more like my "old" self which has been very good. (i was first diagnosed when i was 9, did ritalin 10mg for until 10 and stopped medicating) i've also lost about 20 pounds since october so it's good for that as well. my grades have improved and i just feel better. i don't like the less sleep i'm getting and also the periods of time when i have chest pain (but i do have anxiety so it heightened that effect) but overall i feel it has been effective. | F | 20 | 2 months | 12/10/2008 | 1 | ADD | Almost instantly developed horrible dry mouth! | M | 63 | 4 days | 12/9/2008 | 5 | cause i'm in college :) | loss of appetite, extreme alertness,energy and concentration. | I LOVE ADDERALL! i may not be taking it for the right reasons, but I love having it around when I have a huge test coming up or exams to crash for. It works miracles I used it to study for my UC 110 exam..stayed up all night and never got tired..went to bed at 6am and got up at 8am for my exam. and got an A on my exam and in the class overall. definitely worth it and easy to get! | F | 18 | 6 months | 12/7/2008 | 5 | Concentration=ADHA | Dry-mouth, red face, always hot. | I have found this to be wonderful. I am able to multi-task again, and get through my day without losing blocks of time. I am responsible for millions of dollars a day and I can function now without second guessing what I already did. | F | 44 | 45 days | 12/7/2008 | 5 | recreationally | intense focus especially on very small tasks, like making countless LISTS, making everything- even the mundane- seem worthwhile and enjoyable, very closed off- want to be alone, time races by, total loss of appetite, powerful sense that you can get anything done, productivity, creative ease, bad skin, VERY dry mouth, not knowing how to interact normally with people, insomnia, extreme bodily temperature fluxuations; basically, it makes you a bit superhuman- you don't need to eat or sleep and you can do anything. but when it's gone it's not so pleasant... | i've been taking Adderall for about 2 1/2 years- always recreationally. i've gone through periods of wanting to give it up, but not feeling like i could. sometimes i feel like i am just in love with it and it does a lot more good than bad. right now i am in a phase of thinking i'll take a small break- mostly because i am about to be out of it. and it's been draining my money supply. but i am sure i'll run right back to it as soon as i can. i'd be on it all day every day if it was possible. | F | 22 | 2 years | 12/4/2008 | 3 | ADD | Dry mouth, emotional instability, decreased appetite, crash when off for more than a day, oiler skin, and inability to sleep. | I have been taking it for 7 months, after 18 years of being unable to concentrate fully on my tasks and "flitting" all over the place. It seems that at first I had a fabulous reaction to the drug, getting everything done and feeling more alert. At this point I feel like I may be taking the wrong dosage, 20 mg to 30 mg a day. It's almost my college's winter break and so I plan to experient a little more with my psychiatrist with different dosages and working on my own scheduling. I'm torn at this point, because I feel that I don't want to let it go in case it will help me if done correctly, but I get insane mood swings. For example, I'll be in a lecture and feeling perfectly fine, and all of the sudden, BOOM, something hits me and I feel depressed. This feeling is VERY unsettling and so that's quite possibly the biggest problem I am having along with a TERRIBLE sleeping pattern. | F | 19 | 7 months | 12/3/2008 | 5 | ADD/ADHD | Loss of appetite, increased heart rate, clenching jaw, weight loss, insomnia, dizziness accompanied with momentary loss of vision (has happened a lot), occasional blackouts (has happened 3 times) | Adderall is very good for helping those with ADD/ADHD. It affects those with ADD/ADHD much differently than those who do not have it. It sort of has the opposite effect. I have taken dosages ranging from 20mg-80mg, and have found that the proper dosage is the key. Try to use as low a dose as possible that allows you to concentrate best without severe side effects. If you smoke marijuana while taking adderall the dizziness/temp. vision loss/blackouts become MUCH more frequent, though this can happen anyway. If you feel dizzy and your vision starts to blot out, sit down and wait until it is over, this is a good way to prevent blackouts. Be sure to eat. | F | 18 | 9 years | 12/1/2008 | 4 | ADD | I want to organize everything and I feel a little more focused and alert. I feel a bit nauseous and have dry mouth - my appetite has gone down a bit. | So far, it seems to be helping me to focus. | F | 36 | 4 days | 11/30/2008 | 5 | ADD | Insomnia, super libido, eye twitches,bigger erections, fat loss, euphoria,and somewhat decreased appetite. | I was Rx'd this for ADD and it helps tremendously. I feel much more social and my libido is at porn star levels (it was somewhat low at the start)! I don't get any vasoconstriction with this, but if you do, you can counter it with Ginko and Horny Goat Weed (50% Icariin). Sometimes I take it with L-Tyrosine and D,L Phenylalanine. I have been able to get good benefits with a much smaller dosage. This is important because it provides the raw materials for your body to make Dopamine and Adderall will deplete you Dopamine levels with a quickness. I also noticed increased fat loss (I'm into bodybuilding so this is a plus). I used to use Ephedrine and I would be able to focus, but I never put two and two together and never thought I might have ADD. I am on a low dose, which I feel is fine. I think the more side effects come with the higher dosing that I have seen here. | M | 30 | | 11/29/2008 | 5 | Research | My company produces television movies among many other types of productions.
