| 5 | School/Assignments | Extreme focus, nonstop talking, happy feelings, very emotional and understanding, need to organize/touch things, slight panic attacks, dry mouth, loss of appetite | I personally am not prescribed Adderall, but I buy it off my friends all the time. I use it when I know I have a lot homework to do, and for a few weeks I used it because I had a formal event that I wanted to lose some weight for. I ended up losing about 30 pounds. The only true problem I found was that I would get very anxious and panicky, but this only happened about twice. My friends say I would ask a lot of questions, and sometimes I needed them to switch up how they were sitting because it was making me anxious. | F | 16 | 5 weeks | 10/25/2008 | 5 | adhd, im takeing adderall XR | dry mouth, jittery, intense need for a cig, unpatient, getting annoyed by everything when it is wearing off, WEIGHT LOSS. | I have been taking adderral XR since i was in 5th grade. i weighed 115 before i took it, 1 month later i weighed 80 pounds, it can make your weight drop drastically. im now in 9th grade and it helps me a lot with my school work. it keeps me focused and it just gives me like a intense happy feeling like it just changes your mood. i have a problem with smokeing tho, and i found out that whenever i take my meds, a little while later you are just craving it so badly. but this is a very good medicine, it helps you to focus and keeps you awake. | M | 15 | 4 years | 10/25/2008 | 5 | ADD, fatigue, exhaustion | Dry Mouth. | Helped a great deal in making me feel "normal" again. I can concentrate on tasks, multi-task, stay organized. It totally eliminates the fatigue and exhaustion and restores my motivation. Only negative is that when the effects start to wear off, they do so rapidly and I drop like a stone off a cliff. | M | 44 | 9 months | 10/24/2008 | 5 | ADHD | Anxiety. Headache and anger as medicine wears off. | I was diagnosed with ADHD my second year of university. My doctor prescribed Adderall, and I immediately noticed a difference. Adderall helps me start my day, and helps me remain attentive and focused in class and when working on projects. My social life has also improved, and I feel more outgoing. Sometimes I get mild anxiety from Adderall, as I also have panic disorder. I also get annoyed easily as the drug wears off in the evening, but it generally hasn't been a problem. Overall, my experience with this drug great and would encourage anyone whose doctor recommends it to give it a try. | M | 20 | 12 months | 10/22/2008 | 3 | ADD | really mean when it starts wearing off, no appetite | Adderall has helped me so much in school. The only problem is that you really have to force yourself to eat. When I first started taking the medication I didn't force myself to eat, and my metabolism when way down. When I finally took a break with the medicine I would eat EVERYTHING. I ended up gaining more weight than I started with. Also I would be extremely mean when it would start wearing off at around 5 in the afternoon. The medication works, there are just some side effects that come with it. Now I do not take adderall every day, but I still do whenever I need it. | F | 20 | 3 years | 10/21/2008 | 4 | ADHD | Dry eyes, headaches, dry mouth | I've struggled my entire life with hyperactivity, depression, impulsiveness and an overall lack of focus & motivation. I've seen a therapist for 2 years and have tried almost all anti-depressants. None were working for me so my therapist decided to give adderall a try. Needless to say, a week later and I had seen incredible results. Thanks to Adderall, I am now able to hold down a job and complete tasks and my marriage is much better. 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. So many people are abusing this medication which results in doctors not prescribing this to people who truly need it. To the girl going to grad school...I can't believe you made it that far. Your post does not reflect your intelligence; you continue to take a pill that affects your HEART? That's dumb... | F | 30 | 1 years | 10/20/2008 | 3 | ADD, lack of motivation | I found I had to break 10mg pills in fourths! If I have coffee with it I am through the roof. I am afraid to exercise because I feel as if I could stroke out! I also experience awful rebound when it wears off. Hot, red, flushed face at odd times. Some disinterest in food, drink or socializing. I also pick at any irregularity in my skin...to the point where I bleed. The inside of one of my ears has been picked until swollen...I am not even aware that I am doing this. I was hoping for more motivation and haven't found it. I am able to stay on task longer. | I was on Ritalin for 10 years. After stopping for 6 months I decided I needed it again. Once I started up again it was NEVER the same. The rebound was awful. I had such high hopes with Adderall. I'm afaraid now that it isn't going to work! | F | 47 | 5 days | 10/20/2008 | 4 | weight loss, increase of attention | loss of appetite (or disinterest)& weight loss. | the side effects of the drug can be completely avoided, naturally. simply taking a high potency multivitamin, consuming plenty of water, regular exercise (like 15 - 30 mins of light movement) and eating wholesome foods can and will diminish the effects > excluding the weight loss and appetite suppression, which is a good thing. i don't actually have full ADD/ADHD but i find it helpful for school (i'm in advanced courses). helps focus and studying. recommend taking 25 mg's a day (your doctor will start you off lower). i've lost a few founds in 3 weeks. | M | 16 | 2 months | 10/19/2008 | 5 | school | inability to sit still or stop talking, loss of appetite, chewing of lips, AMAZINGLY happy mood, extreme focus | F | 16 | 2 months | 10/17/2008 | 5 | anxiety,ocd | dry mouth, loss of appetite, 8 pounds lost in 5 days. | i just started 5 days ago and it has helped me so much. i have a very stressful job at an ambulance, so it has helped me relax more and stay awake. i also love that im losing weight because im getting married soon. =) | F | 21 | 5 days | 10/11/2008 | 3 | to be more alert and productive | better concentration, weight loss, but also sometimes produces obsessive compulsiveness and paranoia. warning: this stuff gets addictive | It has helped me concentrate more on my studies and makes me a lot more inquisitive about things. i engage in philosophical, political and her such conversations with much more vigor and passion. but i also get more OCD at times, which causes me to waste a lot of unneccesary time. i also feel a bit paranoid when i use it. for example, i'll think that its worn off in my head and i'll feel like i need to use some more, sometimes even opening another capsule and swallowing some of its contents. so all in all, you have to be smart when taking this. | F | 21 | 1 years | 10/9/2008 | 5 | grad school | frequent and urgent need to urinate, clenching teeth, occasional sharp pain in my heart, increasing tolerance, emotional crash when effects wear off | I always took adderall during my undergrad and master's when I needed to stay up all night to finish something. Finally I went and got a prescription for this drug before starting my PhD. Really helps me stay awake in order to finish all my work. Helps me stay awake in class too. I have taken this too far once or twice and really paid the consequences; I have stayed up for several days in a row and then experienced crushing depression and sadness when coming off the drug (exacerbated by sleep deprivation and no food, of course). I've lost about 15 pounds :) but am worried that once I stop taking the medicine, I'll gain it all back (heard its common). I really love it, but the heart pain scares me... I'm afraid to tell anyone about it because then they won't let me take it anymore. I feel like I really need it to get through grad school. | F | 26 | 3 months | 10/8/2008 | 4 | ADHD | Irritability, loss of appetite, dreamy state sometimes, days off adderall aren't the same | I have taken many forms of ADHD medication including Focalin, Focalin XR, Vyvanse (70mg), and Strattera. Vyvanse was alright, as it did help my studies somewhat. I now take Adderall XR 30mg once in the morning. I have seen drastic improvements in my school work and studies and have noted an increase in energy. My life is much more organized now, which is a first for me. It does mess with my sleep cycle a little bit if I do not take it before 9 AM. The loss of appetite is troublesome because I am actually trying to GAIN weight through eating well and weight training. Good medication overall, I will recommend to others to at least try it for yourself. | M | 23 | 1 months | 10/8/2008 | 4 | Fibro | Sweating, hyperactivity, can't stop talking | Helped the first week with exhaustion and slight pain relief. Only taking 5mg xr in the morning. I do not have add/adhd. I tried taking 10mg when it started to lose effect but felt like I was on speed (yea, basically am...) I take 5mg in the morning along with 37.5mg effexor. Seems to help. | F | 30 | 3 weeks | 10/7/2008 | 5 | Apathy, ADHD, Depression | Dependancy/classic meth/stimulant addiction potential (obviously), swift tolerance increase, occasional minor chest pains after long sessions of heavy lifting/moving, loss of appetite (duh). | Had I been prescribed this back in High School I've no doubt my life and the directions it took would've been drastically beneficial, emotionally and functionally. Sadly my parents and their combined inability to understand my symptoms and listen to me shrieked at the mention of medicinal approaches and instead blamed me rather than helped me. Typical "Time Magazine parents." Like many here, my grades were pathetic and teachers would tell my parents that I exhibited a "brutal" level of intelligence, but showed no motivation to utilize and cultivate it. As I drudged through HS with finger-pointing parents depression hit and I found more motivation in demotivating myself with things like weed, painkillers, and other downers. College came and went drug free with my "C's get degrees, as do D's" philosophy and I joined the rat-race and began working after graduating. I finally lost my ability to function and took matters into my own hands, (long story short) an | M | 26 | 1 years | 10/6/2008 | 3 | better focus | Better focus, weight loss, insomnia at times,fatigue at times, decreased appetite,easily irritated, muscle switching in face at night, dry mouth, pressure behind eyes after one hour of taking mediccine. numbness in hands at night | my boy friend takes it to. we now fight often. we seem to have no patience for each other or anyone. | F | 42 | 6 months | 10/4/2008 | 4 | ADD | Very easy to concentrate, boredom was practically nonexistent. Would recommend for people having trouble concentrating on school/work. | At first when I started taking it I felt very out of it, kinda dreamy and indifferent to everything. This went away after a couple of days. Also, for me it causes very dry mouth and decreased sex drive. | F | 16 | 3 weeks | 9/30/2008 | 4 | ADD | Complete loss of apetite, dry mouth, loose stools, weight loss, sometimes experience racing heartbeat. Urge to smoke cigerettes. | I've always had ADD, but then I was planning my wedding and work was very stressful. I couldn't focus on one task at hand. Started at 5mg, twice day, now at 25mg twice a day. I've lost about 19 lbs, which is hard to explain to people whom I rather not share everything with. I would like to start dosing down, maybe just back to the 5mg twice a day. I feel like I've gotten a bit dependant on the effects. I used to part occassionally with meth, many years ago. My cigerette desire has peaked as it would when I would party. | F | 31 | 3 months | 9/30/2008 | 5 | Adult ADD | Minor dry mouth, minor euphoria (day 1 only), minor heart flutter lasting only a couple of seconds. | I cleaned the kitchen! The whole kitchen without feeling overwhelmed and/or losing interest half way through and walking away. I love this medicine! I have also been able to retain when I read. This is the main reason I needed the meds. I am excited to be able to become more successful in my career now that I can keep up! | F | 33 | 2 days | 9/20/2008 | 4 | adult adhd | insomnia, loss of appetite, headaches, frequent urination, crash when run out or coming off, increased libido, addicting | I was prescribed 20 mg adderal XR for adhd. It has helped a tremendous amount. However, it was wearing off much to early in the day. My dr. just prescribed me a 10 mg short acting dose to get me from school in the morning to work at night without crashing. grades are improved, waiting for weight to start coming off, feel much better about all aspects in my life. Hope this additional 10 mg works so my regular dose will last as long as its supposed to. | F | 38 | 5 months | 9/20/2008 |
