| 4 | School | Angina, ancy, restless, insomnia ( DO NOT TAKE AFTER 6PM!), NO APPETITE, dehydrated, muscle spasms, slightly addictive, depending on dosage, excessive urinating. | It definitely helped me concentrate on my school work, especially around finals. I could sit and read 8 chapters w/o a problem. Being in medical school is a big committment, and i didnt wanna mess it up. I have really bad ADHD, so this really helped me buckle down and study. | M | 21 | 3 months | 9/17/2008 | 2 | adhd/add | okay here is the deal I don't like it at all...but maybe yall can help me find out why it is not working. I have anxiety attacks add/adhd I can't sleep through the nights and I get night terrors I am prescribed Adderall 30mg 3 times a day and I don't think it is working but I don't know whats wrong please help! but 1st here is a little history 1st prescribed 50mg in Vyvanse kept me focus for a while but not long enough (3-4hours), it started to wear off very quick 10mg Lexapro had no effect. nothing for the sleep wanted to see if Lexapro would calm me down 2nd-my doc changed it up 70mg Vyvanse-Which worked for about 5-7hours 20mg Lexapro-which again did nothing. 100mg Serquol- Works Wonders! I love it! 3rd-Now it is Adderall 30mg 3 times a day I don't feel focused, easily distracted, it makes me tired, my body and brain is warn out where I don't want to do anything but sleep....but I can't not even with seroquil 40mg Prozac-Again..does nothing | F | 21 | 1 months | 9/17/2008 | 4 | ADD | Extreme exhaustion after using close to maximum dosage for three days. Loss of interest in food (okay!) and this pill also gave me the ability to read for six hours straight and retain everything. it's wonderful, except when i mix it with caffeine, i get extremely nervous and fidgety, and the effect is almost counterproductive. I've also noticed a tolerance- i've had to take more of it to get the same effect. I've been increasing by a half a pill, just to be careful. | My doctor didn't tell me of the addictiveness, or let me know i should wean myself off if i'm not going to need it for a few days. | F | 24 | 3 weeks | 9/16/2008 | 4 | Because I felt like it | My heartbeat was a little irregular, but nothing scary, I didn't really want to eat, I was very thirsty and had a bad taste in my mouth, I became quite OCD and felt like I had to organize everything. | I took adderall at school because I was depressed and I heard from a friend that it would help. No, it wasn't prescribed to me, and I took 40 mg which probably wasn't the BEST idea (I would take only 20 maybe). Although at first my hands were a little shaky and I had some OCD tendencies, I paid very very close attention in math class, and was able to answer many problems that I usually never can. Also, I was in a great mood for the rest of the day. Don't abuse this pill, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it. | F | 16 | 1 days | 9/16/2008 | 4 | ADHD, Asperger's | Very emotional and easily frustrated. Seemed to initiate sensory issues and social withdrawal. | Adderall helped our 3 year-old son a great deal, though it came a the cost of several unpleasant side effects, which we were able to improve with the addition of more drugs (ugh). But his extreme hyperactivity was controllable with this med. | M | 5 | 2 years | 9/15/2008 | 4 | ADD | loss of appetite, increase in energy while on it, crash without it, a strong need to be doing something, occasional irritability | I started Adderall last year. As far as school goes, it was a life saver. I was very focused, enjoyed learning, and earned straight As for the first time in years. However, I only take it on school days, and I have a crash on the weekends. I can sleep for hours and just feel very lethargic. When on the medicine, I sometimes feel the need to act almost compulsively. I pick at bumps on my skin or will erase something on my paper 5 or 6 times until it looks perfect. It also bothers me when I am not doing something academic when I am on it. I feel like I need to be taking notes, or doing homework. At times, I feel like I am incapable of working without it, and every morning when I take it I feel an "adderall buzz" where I am energized and happy. Adderall can have a drastic change at school, but the side effects are very real too. | F | 17 | 1 years | 9/11/2008 | 5 | ADHD | achy joints/jaw; insomnia; terrible "crashing" effect by early evening | When I was in elementary school, my teachers told my parents that I desperatly needed Riddalin, but my parents refused to put me on drugs and encouraged my teachers to use alternative methods to hold my attention. I did "okay" in school... but in my senior year of college I started AdderallXR and I became an A student. I'm in graduate school now in large part because of Adderall. I work hard to use other methods to keep focused although my Rx needs to increase every now and then. | F | 24 | 3 years | 9/6/2008 | 4 | ADD/Mood disorders | Racing heart, sometimes jittery. Grind my teeth, loss of appetite. | I love this drug. My PCP prescribed it for me and out of 17 meds I have been on for numerous things, this one works. The psychologists and psychiatrists I see do not understand why I am on it. After I explain how many different meds I have tried and this is the only one that works, they dont really care. They all say for what you deal with, it only makes you worse. But I can actually accomplish things when I take it, concentrate a little better than normal and I am usually in a good mood with it. Sometimes not afraid to leave the house, deal with people or just see people where when I dont take it, I cant do any of those things. I take Xanax at night to help me sleep. I am prescribed 20/mg BID, the people on 120/mg a day blows my mind on how they can actually sleep or not stop going. Normally I dont even need 40/mg, 20/mg usually lasts for the day, if not I break one in half to finish out the day. | M | 30 | 2 years | 9/4/2008 | 1 | Dr. perscribed | iscolation from everyone, sleeping on bathroom floor, sweating, extrem acne,hylocations, angry, thoughts having sex, legs and arm spasams, chest pain, wanted to die. After one year on Adderal xr, my niece now I believe has permanent brain damage, she dosnt respond like she used to cannot conect herself to anyone family, friends. | This is a extremly addictive drug and would not suggust taking it to ANYONE.!! | F | 51 | 1 years | 9/1/2008 | 1 | adhd | This medication was Rx'd for my son (along with Adderall XR) who was diagnosed with ADHD. Initially, it seemed like a miracle as he was able to focus in class and get work done. He tolerated it for about a year and then his personality began to change in grade 5. He became moody and experienced severe mood swings. Counselors, MD's, all saw him and said it was behavioral-no one once mentioned it could be his medication or suggested taking a break from it. In 7th grade he had a psychotic episode, attempted suicide, and was hospitalized for several months. He was put on anti-psychotics, which did not help him. After a second attempt while hospitalized, he *finally* got a physician who took him off everything. It was a rough week. However, it was more than worth it. Within 3 weeks I had my son back. Anger, depression, mood swings, all gone. He has been medication free for 4 years. He graduated 2 years early from high school. Yes, he has to work harder to stay focused. Yes, h | Parents: Be VERY cautious about allowing your child to take this medication. The extra time & energy needed to work with an ADHD kid not taking meds is tough...I KNOW! But watching your child slip away into psychosis and nearly die is MUCH MUCH tougher. Not worth the risk. | M | 16 | 5 years | 9/1/2008 | 5 | ADD | Loss of appetite (not a bad thing!), complete disinterest in food, frequent urination, dehydration, nausea, sleeplessness, and codependence on the pill. | I LOVE this pill. It allows me to finally just be able to sit down, study, and retain information. It makes me a happier and more positive person. I used to stay up all night, sleep all day, and have a hard time getting out of bed and going to class, now with Adderall I hop out of bed awake and alert in the morning, and don't need to nap all day. It completely surpresses my appetite and also speeds up my metabolism. I must have lost at least 10 lbs in the two weeks I've been on it. I may think I'm hungry, but then only be able to get a few bites of food in. Most of all, it keeps me from procrastinating and makes me more a more productive person. | F | 23 | 14 days | 8/30/2008 | 5 | Adult ADD | Loss of appetite is the only side effect I've experienced. The personality related side effects some people are discussing, such as being unsocial, are things I actually suffered from prior to starting Adderall XR. Only on my initial dose on the first day did I experience any type of chest tightness. Usually when it kicks in after a few hours I can feel my heart rate increase, but it doesn't last. I think my sex drive may have increase somewhat also. | So far so good. My doctor initially started me out on 5 mg a day, which had no affect on me at all. I guess she just wanted to gauge it. A week later she increased it to 20 mg a day. I don't get a euphoric feeling like some people describe. It just simply helps me focus longer, and improved my concentration. It also improved my memory. I no longer put a load on laundry in the washer, forget it for 2 day, have to wash it again, forget it again, wash it again, then finally dry it...lol. I was also notorious for not answering the phone, I would rather avoid people, losing my keys, credit cards, etc. Just a better quality of life in general. I take my dose when I awake in the morning, and sleep like a baby at night. I'm not sure why some people experience these dramatic side effects, and some don't. I'm just lucky I guess. I have to make myself eat sometimes. I get worried that my body will dehydrate. I've lost weight, not sure how much, I don't own a scale. That's about it. I'll write ano | F | 25 | 2 months | 8/23/2008 | 1 | Adult ADHD | Loss of focus, classic meth addict behavior | Doctor prescribed two Adderall 20mg, three times a day (120mg per day total)for my wife. Results include radical personality changes, wieght loss, increased sexual desire, loss of memory, hyperactivity and so on. Doctor knew of past meth addiction but prescribed this drug, at large dosage anyway. | M | 60 | 6 days | 8/22/2008 | 5 | Narcolepsy w/sleep apnea tiredness | Awake!...able to focus on current tasks, stablized weight gain from side affects of hormone injections, eye shimmering (as in REM sleep), twitch on 4th index finger, low amount of anxiety....still worth it to me. | Meets my needs to be awake and function in society and I can actually drive home without feeling I need to pull over and nap a while. Dose: 20 mg every 5 hours (3 times day)starting when I first wake up...allows time for the last dose to wear off prior to bed...no insomnia. | M | 53 | 180 days | 8/20/2008 | 3 | ADD and Depression | Sweating, strong BO, blurred vision, mood ups and downs, insomnia, breakouts and oily skin. Regular periods, increased sex drive and thinning hair. Use to take dexadrine prior to adderall and had virtually none of these side effects. | I use drysol for the sweating- helps a lot during everyday activities, but not at the gym. I also started getting breakouts on my neck (never ever had a single zit prior to the meds)- sweating at the gym EVERYDAY helped clear it up. My periods became very regular-use to get a period 3 or 4 times a yr now its every 5-6 weeks:( | F | 26 | 3 months | 8/20/2008 | 3 | ADHD | basically lots of munching; fatigue; crashing around 10 pm | I take 10 mg each morning. It's only been 3 days so we shall see | F | 31 | 3 days | 8/20/2008 | 3 | ADHD | DEPRESS....TOTAL DEPRESS...SHAKING..HEART FEEL LIKE SOME ONE IS TIGHTING....LOSS WEIGHT(6 POUNDS-1 WEEK),"HORNEY",DRY MOUTH,CAN'T SLEEP....THINKING ABOUT KILL MY SELF!!! | DEPRESS....TOTAL DEPRESS...SHAKING..HEART FEEL LIKE SOME ONE IS TIGHTING....LOSS WEIGHT(6 POUNDS-1 WEEK),"HORNEY",DRY MOUTH,CAN'T SLEEP....THINKING ABOUT KILL MY SELF!!! I CAN FOCUS.BUT AS SAME TIME,I AM NOT SAME GIRL...WHO LIKE PLAY WITH EVERYONE....I FEEL LIKE BE ALONE WITH MY MIND.FEEL LIKE I AM GETTING CRAZYYYY...PLEASE IF SOME ONE CAN HELP,AND SHARE THAT MEDICATION WITH ME....???...... | F | 27 | 12 days | 8/6/2008 | 3 | ADD/Fatigue | Sweating, loss of appetite, severe headaches, nausea, and extremely increased sex drive | I see that others are experiencing many of the same side effects as me, except for the increased sex drive. This is embarrassing. I have always been a highly sexual person, but now I cant stop thinking about it 24/7 and what makes it worse is that I dont currently have a partner. Is or has anyone else experienced this? | F | 37 | 3 days | 8/4/2008 | 4 | Adult ADD | Common: loss of appetite, increased urination, dehydration, increased perspiration, dry skin, increased sebaceous gland activity (oily skin), acne, dry eyes, decreased tear production, dry mouth, increased oral activity, mouth sores and/or sensitive mouth tissue, decreased immunity, muscle fatigue, abnormal sleeping patterns, change in mood (irritability, antisocial tendencies, loss of libido, addiction and dependency.
