| 5 | adult add, sleep disorder | unable to get to sleep for at least 12 hours after taking a dose; if i take it for more than about 5 days in a row, i start to get anxious/twitchy and have more trouble sleeping. | works wonderfully to help me get out of bed and moving, helps my concentration, and helps to ease my depression if i take it more than 3 days a week. i take it 2-5 mornings a week. | F | 27 | 3 years | 1/22/2008 | 2 | ADD | Headaches, crash towards the middle of the day, horrible mood swings, always pissed off for no reason, really talkative at first then I have no desire to even open my mouth, jaw aches, dizziness, increased heart rate, numbness of the hands and feet, insomnia, dark circles, paranoia, nervousness, troubles breathing, twitchy, blurred vision, decreased appetite, and my face always feels really hot. | It's helped out a lot with school, but that's it. I feel like a tweaker half of the time I take it though. I won't sleep or eat for days and I just zone out all of the time. I don't really recommend it. | F | 15 | 4 years | 1/18/2008 | 4 | adult add | jaw pain, strong urge to move jaw back and forth (not enough for others to notice, but still weird) sharp decline in libido, ED. | So far this is working well for me despite some unpleasant side effects. I'm able to face the daily grind each day WITHOUT a sense of dread and fear - I actually look forward to accomplishing things and don't worry about them beforehand. I've essentially stopped procrastinating, which had been a MAJOR problem my entire life. I now feel more competent and more "in the present" rather than always trying to "catch up" with the world and the people around me. I feel normal I guess :) The only serious problem that I really hope I can find a remedy for is the ED. Even the diminished sex drive is OK as I'm not in a relationship at the moment, and frankly my sex drive has always been a bit too high anyway! (masturbating/looking at net pron for multiple hours EVERY day). The ED on the other hand... I don't feel like much of a man in some ways. Erections simply feel good, and not just in a sexual way, but also in a "yeehaw the blood is really pumpin now, I feel so | M | 34 | 2 weeks | 1/15/2008 | 3 | doc said lose 20 pounds | very cold fingers and toes, toenails turning purple/blue, dry mouth sometimes, sweating, first month had tight chest , heart racing. | on the plus side, I have more energy and focus, b4 adderall was tired all the time, never wanted to go out anymore, talk to people and couldnt get the energy to keep up with life. Now with adderall I have energy , focus is great , thoughts seem more together.taking 25 mg of xr once a day, may bump up higher. Only concern is doctor prescribed without any study of my history or physical. Told him I felt low energy and tired , he said I could stand to lose 20 pounds and handed me a perscription .Have found he gives it to ANYONE regardless it seems of health issues (maybe he gets a kickback?), when asking about cold extremities and blue nails he shooed me out without looking. | F | 38 | 3 months | 1/15/2008 | 4 | ADD/Depression | Not able to eat anything, Heart rate changed and i could feel my entire body pounding, dizziness/fainting, addiction, and irritability | I took it for about a year or so, lost about 40 lbs, stopped taking it, gained about 50 lbs. thank god im going to start taking it again!!! it really is amazing. | F | 16 | 1.5 years | 1/14/2008 | 5 | Adult ADD | Inevitable Addiction. | In real medical literature, 70% of bipolar people have ADD. So once a bipolar diagnosis is made, ADD is considered strongly as a co-disorder. More women than men, disproportionate left-handed people, and other things. The Adderall will remove ADD from your life for about six months. Then you have a tolerance to it, and find ways to get MORE. You take more to get the same feeling, you become a junkie. It's not a matter of "if" you will become a junkie taking Adderall, it's a matter of how long it takes to become one. | M | 42 | 9 months | 1/12/2008 | 5 | concentration | Jack rabit comes to mind. I also take provigil. I feel good and more alert. Very alert but not like coffee alert. weight loss. | One year ago I had a stroke at 36 and I had been taking provigil to help with exhaustion but I needed some help with concentration and memory lost. I have been on adderall for only two weeks but i have noticed that i have no appetite and i can eat. Two weeks ago i was 280 i am down to 260 and having to force myself to eat. I don't care what the side effects are I am awake alert and lossing weight. | M | 37 | 2 weeks | 1/10/2008 | 3 | ADD | At first I was very jittery, but that has seemed to go away. My biggest concerns are with shrinkage...no guy wants or needs that. Does anyone know why that is a side effect. My libido goes up and down. Loss of appetite and at times very spaced out. | I really enjoy the loss of appetite, but the sexual side effects are bothersome. I'd appreciate some responses by email concerning this medication from a guys perspective. | M | 37 | 6 days | 1/9/2008 | 5 | Adult ADD/ADHD | Positive: Loss of appetite, weight loss, increase in sex drive (my husband loved this), NEED to be productive - had difficulty sitting still Negative: If something made me angry it could escalate quickly, more road rage, attention to detail on EVERYTHING wasn't always the best, some days I didn't want to be social | I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until I was 24. I responded well to very low doeses of Adderall - 5 mg twice a day - which my doctor was pleased with. 10 mg of Adderall XR taken at 7 am was keeping me up until 3 am the next morning. I tried 10 mg in the morning and would "crash" in the afternoon, feeling really run-down. 5 mg twice a day is perfect for me. What has changed: I no longer begin one thing, get distracted and then wander off, only to come back to find, for example, the dishwasher half-unloaded and all the cabinets open in the kitchen an hour later because I didn't complete the job. Forgetfulness subsides, much better attention to detail, ability to work quickly to finish everyday tasks that just felt so horrible to force my self to accomplish before (like cleanng out closets or writing long papers). The anti-social side effects are real but I found that skipping my afternoon medication allowed me some flexibility. I could be productive in the morning and early aftern | F | 26 | 2 years | 1/6/2008 | 5 | Adult ADHD | Slight headache towards the end of the day (latent and not painful; more annoying than anything)...overall no issues at all... taking Adderall XR 10mg M-Fri for concentration at work... works GREAT! Makes me productive (not spun out like some of you) and positive and energetic and I utilize my time more efficiently and can focus MUCH BETTER than before. | Alot of these ppl on here are taking this for the wrong reasons - I think some are not chemically compatible with it and others are taking too high a dosage. I have never had ANY issues with it at all, minus a very miniscule headache at the end of the day that is easily fixed with a little (small!!) amount of caffeine. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG UNLESS YOU NEED IT OR YOU WILL BE HAVING SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS! THIS IS NOT A DRUGE TO ABUSE - USE IT FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE ONLY!! | F | 26 | 32 days | 1/2/2008 | 4 | ADD | some teeth grinding, not as social/talkative | 60mg of regular Adderall. It is the only thing that really helps my ADD. I'm not as outgoing when I take it but being really chatty and easily distractable is why I take it in the first place. I wish I had taken this when I was younger, I may have done much better in school. I was first put on Wellbutrin in high school for ADD and it didn't do anything. I got adderall in college and it helped alot. It is hard to keep the stuff away from my boyfriend because it does the opposite for him as it does for me. He will paint the whole house after taking a couple! | F | 29 | 7 years | 12/29/2007 | 4 | add, adhd | dry mouth, metallic/bad taste in mouth, difficulty sleeping at times, some irritablity/mood swings. | Generally, I really like adderall. In the beginning I was WAY over-prescribed and was taking 40mg/day (20 mg twice a day). Although I felt euphoric and loved the weight loss--about 20lbs over the first year, I began having some mood swings and "dullness" and would "space out" in the late afternoon/evenings (this might have been partly due to low blood sugar b/c I would go all day w/o eating). I had been a light smoker before, but had a marked increase in my urge to smoke as a reaction to the stimulant effect. I began making irrational decisions because I think it made me "hyper-emotional" meaning that if I was happy, I was now VERY happy and if I was remotely sad, I would cry or tear up at the drop of a hat. I stopped taking it altogether for a couple of months, and gradually started taking it in decreased dosages which has curtailed most of the negative side effects. For now, I am happy with it and most of all LOVE the fact that I rarely feel lethargic | F | 32 | 4 years | 12/23/2007 | 2 | ADHD | Loss of personality, talk too much, irritability, insomnia, very self-concious, nervousness, innability to socialize "normal", smoking more, increased heart rate, gas, deep thoughts on life - leading to depression, always worried about if i ever run out, i feel like complete shit when i dont take it, addictive/dependancy drug, withdrawls SUCK...etc. | My dose - 30mg every morning. It keeps you organized on 1/2 of your life, the other half becomes very cluttered. I would not recommend a dose higher than 15mg to ANYONE. I am slowly quitting in order to let "the real me" come back out after soo long. I have cut down to 15mg per day and feel a million times better about myself than I ever did before....but I am dreading the first days that I will go from 5mg to 0. | M | 20 | 8 years | 12/23/2007 | 1 | ADHD | FACTs I was Living With: - My existing situation after 2 years use very bad nothing to show for “No good stable business and no Job no school and lost all my friends account balance $320 !!!!” | - No Sex Desire 0 From 10 - Very focus on only motor skills and non important tasks - Feeling of very satisfied even though I am in lot’s of problems - Anti-Social Always scarred to meet people or to go anywhere - I just found out “medical research “ that it will deplete all dopamine areas sooner or later - Abnormally never bored even though I am alone for like a month doing bullshit - Un-realistic expectation - Very bad depression if you stop for only 1 day - Very bad stomach pain and weird feeling in the guts - Very Slow Action - You can have the biggest problems and you don’t care Conclusion : The drug is not helping me with what’s important Even though I am walking and moving I am not doing anything important and I feel stupid too…. like dummy with no dick....Don't listen to the doctors or the money hangry drug dealers "That does include shire" most of what they care about is money...After 3 years I stopped it cold t | M | 30 | 3 years | 12/20/2007 | 5 | Adult ADD | Dry mouth, constipation (both went away after 2-4 weeks), nervousness (went away after a month). *Most side effects you get used to or they go away after a few weeks. | This saved my life! My body couldn't take Ritalin--I have Adult ADHD and mild Anxiety so Adderall, combined with a good antidepressant is a good combo. I take two 15 mg XR's. The IR's gave me the "sweats" and made me a little agitated. Adderall is the best thing that has happened to me. I wish I had it when I was in high school and college. I am an editor and I can actually sit for hours without going crazy. | F | 34 | 10 months | 12/17/2007 | 1 | ADD | Increased concentration, better memory, dry mouth, antisocial tendencies, depression, change of personality, mood swings, exhaustion, stomach ache, decreased appetite, weight loss | I was prescribed to 20mgs addXR a day. At first, it worked out great. My grades imporved, my concentration was great. I was already thin, but lost even more weight. The drug's effectiveness, however, gradually decreased. The comedown in the afternoons got worse and worse. I became antisocial and stopped talking to many of my friends and interacting with my family. My entire personality changed and I was often either depressed or irrationally angy. I became physically unhealthy. My weight got so low that my friends and family became concerned. I began the drug weighing about 120 at 5'7. Two months later, my weight had dropped to 104. My immune system was weak and I got sick all the time. The negative side effects got so intense that I had to stop taking adderall. I have been working on using alternative techniques to concentrate on school work and just finished my first semester of college with excellent grades. I gained a lot of the weight back, and that bothers me at t | F | 18 | 6 months | 12/17/2007 | 5 | diagnosed with ADD | Initially, first two weeks or so, I had difficulty sleeping and little appetite. Side effects lessened considerably after this time, though, and now I suffer no noticable side effects. | Diagnosed with ADD in August. Started on Adderall once a day, went to twice a day and have a much easier time in general. The benefits were noticable immediately. I felt coherent, was able to leave the house without forgetting sunglasses, cell phone, directions, water bottle; no more trips back into the house, less running late. Enabled me to pick up the phone and make those tedious phone calls, pay bills, answer emails, just see to life in general without the usual agony. Additonal benefit: I found I was less anxious. Talked with my psychiatrist about this, and he suggested while there was no physiological reason for this, likely my anxiety was being fed by my lack of focus and the repercussions of that, trying to keep everything together. Despite all the negative feedback I've read, I can say that for me it's really working well. Don't hesitate. Give it a try for 2-3 weeks, and if it doesn't work for you, try something else. | F | 40 | 5 months | 12/10/2007 | 5 | ADDDDDHDDDDDD | Fast heart rate, Keeps my focus away from unproductive activities, I last longer in bed, I make a lot more money. | Quite the drug... I personally think that they should put this shit in the water. | M | 19 | 5 days | 12/9/2007 | 4 | ADHD | shaking, increased heart rate, sweating *early in the day*, excessive picking at sores- sores do not heal, ACNE :(, trouble swallowing, bad crash/comedown, euphoria early in day, stomach pains, weird runny bowels, insomnia, loss of appetite/weight | I started with adderall XR 20MG- went up to 30, then 40, then he added a "booster dose" of the non-XR type of another 20mg for the afternoon. So 60 total mg. The XR was giving me horrible headaches so he switched me to 60 mg of the NON-XR formula. I like that better. Although I do get TONS done on ADDERALL, It's a love/hate thing because I am so embarrassed to go out of the home with these awful sores all over. My body hurts from picking at them so much. They don't heal, and I scratch them even at night!!! Sometimes I lay awake for hours because of this med... it helps me feel better mentally but you sure trade in alot. I got AMBIEN to sleep because of the insomnia- and If i cant sleep on that, i hallucinate CRAZY! It's like mushrooms X 10!!! Be careful on all this stuff. It can really change your life. | F | 23 | 5 months | 12/5/2007 | 1 | 60 mg. day for sleeping problem | very high sex drive to the point he could not control it,he got put in jail for sitting in walmart parking lot masterbating watching women.he was looking at x-rated mag. everyday on his way home.100lbs. weight loss in 4 months. | this medicine has tore our marriage apart,it turned him into a monster i hate!!!wives and girlfriends don't trust your man- if mine could get by with it any idiot can, mine was so loving and caring,the perfect husband, always home except when he was at work(he would leave in just enough time to stop at walmart to watch other women and masterbate and leave to get home so i would not know he had done anything)then act like he loved me sooooo much the sick bastard!!!!i don't care if it was the medicine it was still him that done it, the medicine just gave him a higher sex drive it didn't drive him to walmart or to the (stores to look at the magazines with the women in them EVERYDAY),the whole time he was doing all of this he was telling me he had NO SEX DRIVE and was `PUSHING ME AWAY!!!!!!! | M | 29 | 1 years | 12/3/2007 |
