| 3 | 30 mg RX | I get some extremly bad headaches, the back of my eyes hurt sometimes, some nasty cotton mouth, chest pain, ....and yes just like some of the other guys my penis sometimes shrinks to a stack of dimes, never hungry, moods swings like a pregnant woman,some times ill see black and red dots, its hard to fall asleep, grind my teeth, leg cramps, cant focus at the end of the day, Really Frustrated and stupid things,smoke way to many cigs. gas..., and thats pretty much it. | Its great when i have no side effects. I talk alot, get along with everyone and i can work all day and not get tired. helps with school work alot. it gives me a really good high. :) | M | 22 | 1 days | 4/19/2007 | 4 | adult add | Extreme dry mouth, teeth grinding,tiredness | I had been taking 20 mg of Adderall xl per day but it did not help much . so my Dr. moved me up to 25 mg per day. I really do not feel any more energy from taking adderall, I can concentrate somewhat better but still making silly mistakes in my work, I was hoping that it would improve with adderall xl . I lost about 5 pounds in the beginning but have gained it back, my appetite is slightly curbed but I over eat at night when the adderall is wearing off, I find that I am exhausted at night and can't wait to get to sleep. ... I can concentrate on my work better, and can withstand boring tasks, I can sit still for longer periods of time at my desk. The bad part is that I get very short tempered when the medication starts to wear off. Overall adderall is not too bad but I was hoping for better results | F | 60 | 6 months | 4/16/2007 | 4 | ADD | Not sure about some of the posts up here with people talking about feeling euphoric at first. HELLO... if you get buzzed, you probably got mis-diagnosed. I have taken 30mg XR for 3 or 4 years and never felt euphoric or anxious. It just gives me the ability to focus and it's calming. Honestly, it saved my job. I had taken anti-depresants for years and stopped taking them because the depression was gone. What I didn't know is that anti-depressants can help ADD. So when I stopped the anti-depressants, I couldn't focus, and you could ask me a question... and I would know the answer... but not be able to access it. Weird and horrible. Adderall addressed the problem instantly. | The only issue I am having currently is loss of sexual appetite, which I hate. Not sure if it's the Adderall or Trazadone (anti depresant) I take at night to help me sleep. | M | 42 | 4 years | 4/13/2007 | 4 | ADHD | I haven't been able to eat a bite since I started. I'm usually a compulsive eater when stressed. I've been getting a touch of a headache at night. | So far, this drug has positively changed my life. My self esteem has boosted and I'm less impulsive. | F | 35 | 2 days | 4/1/2007 | 3 | ADHD | Leg cramps, loss of sex drive, loss of appetite, headaches, dry heaving, excessive presperation, dependancy- ADDICTION, change in mood, irritability, exhaustion, depression, exaggerated and excessive reactions when surprised (every little thing makes you jump), extreme paranoia to the point of suspecting that others are conspiring against you | My typical day = 200mg Maximum (untypical) day = around 350mg PLEASE POST ANY EXPERIENCE OR INFO. ABOUT REHAB OR ANY OTHER ADDERALL ADDICTION TREATEMENT I read most comments on this site and didn't see anyone who I could relate to concerning my exteme dependency and risk. For the first 2 year I felt the same way as everyone else here who thought it helped them and they loved it, bla bla - But the reality is that people w/ addictive personalities, like me, will keep increasing their doses and have no self-control, or desire/ability to limit thier intake. Only after a few years of consuming 100mg a day, 5 days a week, will you understand why adderall is a controlled substance. I no longer have social skills or friends, only wanting to be alone w/ my pills. I avoid thinking about my future 10 years from now b/c I cannot imagine myself being able to function and carry out a life w/o adderall, but I also can't see myself mentally or physically surviving this addiction that long either | F | 22 | 5 years | 3/29/2007 | 1 | Non-Hyperactive A.D.D. | -obsessive tendencies -mental constipation (both fluids & solids) -gain in appetite, then loss of appetite after about 6 months -less satisfaction from sex -penis & scrotum are practically afraid to just hang out or come out as far during sex, resulting in... -smaller penis -anti-social tendencies (due to unnatural worrying about what I'm going to say, how I look when I walk, how my hair looks, etc.) -WAY less interest in sex and girls | I read the side effects here, and realized after all this time that the side effects WEREN'T just in my mind. I became really stressed lately because the main way of getting stress out, sex, is usually something I love to do and find lots of interest in, and now, no matter how hot the girl I'm with is, sex just seems boring- and despite that, it's taken from me my long lasting power, making me cum early and lose erections way more easily. If I can't counteract all this crap by getting off Adderall, I don't know WHAT the hell I'm going to do! But today I swore I'd never drop another pill of Adderall again. I feel like a dog must feel after getting two years to get in all the youthful sex it could handle, and then getting fixed. My personality is laid-back, accepting, happy, and, yeah, horny, never thinking too much into things that aren't worth the thought. Nowadays, I feel like I'm not even me. | M | 18 | 1 years | 3/28/2007 | 5 | extreme fatigue | loss of appetite (beyond that from prozac, which is saying something), weight loss (noticeably within a week), difficulty sleeping (which was good considering I was so tired people thought I had mono), stomach ache (if I eat past about 4pm), increased energy/contentment, diarrhea | My psychiatrist prescribed Adderall because she believed I was being sedated by the Prozac I was taking along with Wellbutrin XL (10/450 respectively, for depression); she reduced my Wellbutrin, increased Prozac, added Adderall (300/15/5) and now I feel pretty good. Keep in mind that I have a long and significant history of anorexia nervosa - so I flat out refuse any antidepressants that might cause weight gain. If you're wondering why anyone would prescribe this med for someone with an eating disorder (whose BMI was 18 from the get-go), honestly, the fatigue was 10 times more debilitating than the weight loss (and I'm not counting calories, surprisingly, just forgetting to eat). I would say this drug has worked very well so far; I do NOT have ADD in any way, shape or form and it still helped me focus. But if you have no valid reason to take it, DON'T. Beyond a certain point, I've found I somewhat miss sleeping and eating... being addicted to or dependent on this stuff would kill | F | 15 | 2 months | 3/22/2007 | 5 | ADD | ive been told im very arguementative on adderall, but i wouldnt know. i also get dry mouth, overheated, weight loss and pretty much everything else everyone is saying | its an amazing drug if you need it. i can hardly write my name on a sheet of paper without it. i know alot of people that use adderall to lose weight. i lost quite a bit and i was never fat, when i started taking it i had 16% body fat and now i have 6%. so it works for that. you do what ever you want with it. im just laying out the facts. | M | 18 | 5 years | 3/20/2007 | 3 | Adult Add | Dry mouth, weight loss, anti-social | I have only been taking adderall for about 2 weeks one great thing I have to say is that I lost 11 lbs so far I seem to focus better sometimes once I get into a project or set my mind to something I become somewhat compulsive about getting it done. Its helped me to want to accomplish my goals more and to stop procrastinating about them.. school work is easier and things at work are going pretty good. On the down side I once the life of the party don't even feel like being around a lot of people I'm more quiet and almost zombie like my friends keep thinking somethings wrong cause I'm so quiet and to my self. I feel like I'd rather be at home tackling some home project or something so I kind of miss having that excited feeling about partying with my friends. another down side is comeing off the medication I get angry and real tired.. oh and when I'm on the medicine I feel like I'm on speed or something almost to the point it drives me crazy yesterday I almost started crying at work about | F | 26 | 15 days | 3/20/2007 | 5 | Adult ADHD | Dry mouth, "crashing" at the end of the day, loss of appetite, ability to lose track of time when working on something. | Started this medication after being diagnosed with adult ADHD at age 27. At first, I felt a little wired from the medication, but after a few days my body adjusted. The work I used to despise and put off (both professionally and at home) is now a lot easier to tackle. I have patience and an attention span much greater than before and can deal with boring tasks. I blurt things out without thinking much less than I used to. I've also lost about 15 pounds because I'm not so fixated on food when I'm bored, and my skin has cleared up, probably because I no longer touch or pick at my face like I used to when I had a zit here or there. People have actually commented on my appearance and how I look different and better, which is something I've always had issues with. I feel more confident with this medication, it gives me the boost I really wanted, and makes me focus on things at work that I generally hated before. The only issue I really have is that I seem to "crash" at the | F | 27 | 6 weeks | 3/19/2007 | 5 | Adult ADHD | Anxiety, lack of appetite, insomnia if taken later in day/evening | been taking adderall off and on for about 2 years now. Am also on zoloft b/c of social/generalized anxiety disorders. very effective in increasing concentration and overall productivity. certainly, if you've had addictive responses to stimiulants in the past, you will want to avoid adderall, ritalin, etc. except under very controlled circumstances. However, all in all the drug does exactly what it is supposed to do. it does increase my anxiety, but zoloft offsets that effect so i am happy with my current situation. | M | 25 | 2 years | 3/17/2007 | 5 | need a booster work was boring | headaches the next day and quite horny stay up a little later than usual also a little irritable and argumentive | took the blue adderal 10s im a broker in a crazy office my boss loved me i worked like a maniac but had headaches the next morning were bad and was also quite horny most of the day when on it, broke the pill in half take half 8 am and works better for me by 3,330 i crash but better than bein horny and angry but i seem to be happy to be at work the day goes quick and im makin more $$ so cant argue | M | 36 | 2 weeks | 3/12/2007 | 3 | severe ADHD | decreased energy, calmness, less verbal, dry mouth, and weight loss | Truthfully I don't know what to think about this med. I don't have outbursts of anger anymore and when I sit down for long periods of time I actually get drowsy. My wife, kids, and parents love the lack of mood swings and irritability. My mind feels like someone hit the brakes, " I don't know what to think about it." If you have any question email me. | M | 32 | 40 days | 3/11/2007 | 3 | ADD, Fatigue | Irritable, severe anxiety and panic attacks, social phobias, shaking, blurred vision, insomnia, hallicinations, decreased sex drive, dry mouth, bad breath, grinding teeth when sleep, alertness, scatterbrained, increased OCD tendancies, tingling, decreased appetite, weight loss, addiction and dependency | This medication definitly works, but the negatives outweigh the positives. This medication has destroyed my life because Im addicted to it and I can't get off of it. I know its the addiction speaking when I say, I simply can NOT live without this medication. This medication does not work forever, and you can not be on it forever. Its a temporary fix that leads to permanent problems. | F | 21 | 1 years | 3/6/2007 | 4 | Adult ADD w/o Hyperactivity | Loss of Appetite, weight loss (much needed), insomnia, dizziness, increase in libido | After I saw my son's success with Adderall. I started taking 10mg XR of Adderall about 3 years ago, and very quickly lost about 30 pounds. I felt GREAT! I made some really important life changes, and really got things in order. I felt like the cobwebs were pushed out of my mind and I could think clearly for the first time ever. I didnt feel like a million different thoughts and sensory stimulations were coming at me all at the same time. Over time, the effect decreased, and I tried 15mgXR, but I got a small tic, and had to go back down to 10mg. I began to have really bad insomnia which lead to anxiety. I now take 5mg Ambien for the insomnia (One drug leads to another) and I sleep very well. I know if I want to take the Adderall, I have to take the Ambien also. Ive been having some anxiety lately, and Im not sure if it's related to long term Adderall or Ambien usage. I take a medication vacation from time to time to make sure that I dont need to get up over the 10mg mark. | F | 40 | 3 years | 3/4/2007 | 5 | Actually 15 mg SR twice a day | It has depressed my son's hunger. I do try to fix more foods he likes and he does eat 3 meals a day. | My son is much calmer, happier, able to focus on the day to day games that childhood brings. He will even ask for his medication. We have had several chages between the SR and the regular adderall. We have had dose changes, but all in all, I am so thankful for adderall. | M | 5 | 10 months | 3/1/2007 | 3 | Severe Anxiety that maybe ADD | Rapid Weight Loss (In the beginning, tapers off eventually); Rapid Heart Beat; Jitters (I jump when people talk to me or walk up to me); Feeling like I can't take a full breath, especially during exercise; Increased sex drive (in the beginning); Moodiness in the afternoon (when it wears off); Excessive dry mouth/bad taste in mouth; Eye twitching (very annoying); Severe Hyperfocus; Obsession; But the worst one is facial flushing. If I get excited or upset my ears and/or my face turn bright red! | When I first started taking Adderall, I felt like it was the best thing ever. I could focus, I could make my mind quiet and not worry/obssess and my mood was better. Best of all I lost weight, went from 130 to 112 (I'm 5'4") It soon started to not work as well and I had to up the dose again & again. I am now on 30mg XR once a day and I refuse to go above that. It doesn't really help much anymore, I think I may even worry more than I used to and I am more prone to have panic attacks. But I hate the way I feel when I don't take it. I feel tired and extremely moody. I worry that I have become physically & mentally addicted to this drug. I am also reluctant to stop because I have heard people have weight gain if they stop. I never had any "tests" to diagnose ADD, it was basically an "experiment" by my practicioner. Now I feel like I got hooked on something for no reason. Of course I felt better in the beginning, wouldn't anyone if they were given | F | 30 | 1.5 years | 2/21/2007 | 4 | Fatigue | Irritability, frequent headaches, weight loss. | This drug worked great at first. I was no longer extremely tired all the time and was able to get more done at home and feel well-rested in the mornings. After about 6 months, I am again tired a lot of the time (not as much as before) and have lost about 15 lbs. I'm wondering if my dr. needs to up my dosage? All in all, I'd say this is a very effective drug. | F | 29 | 6 months | 2/19/2007 | 3 | Adult ADHD | HEADACHES, about 8-10 hours after taking 25mg of Adderall XR I start getting these really bad headaches. SHRINKAGE yes my penis, alot of female doctors don't understand this! COLD CLAMMY TOES my toes are always cold and clammy like my feet are getting no circulation. NO APPETITE I have no desire to eat anything, I have to sit and think about what I must eat! COLD CHILLS I get really chilly and start shaking, my teeth jitter and my body shakes. | more side effects. SMOKE I'm wanting to smoke alot more cigs than I usually do. SOCIAL I'm more open socially however I jump from topic to topic and don't really care to listen to what others are saying. TROUBLE FALLING ASLEEP/MOOD SWINGS I was having some anger outbursts, mood swings and a very difficult time falling asleep so my doctor prescribed 50mg of Seroquel to calm me down and knock me out at night. OVERALL I can live with the side affects because It's also helping me get motivated but the headaches, cold jitters, and penis shrinkage really got me worried. | M | 23 | 1 months | 2/12/2007 | 4 | ADD | The Major side effect for me is sexual... Not only do I feel less horny, I seem to have a constant awareness of "shrinkage". I constatly feel as though I'm not getting any blood flow to my penis and unless I'm engaging in a sexual activity, my penis looks like I've just taken a cold shower. Obviously, this doen't make me happy... Also, I do have a loss of appetite, however after long periods of not eating, when the drug wears off, I tend to overeat at night. I also have dry mouth, but if I work with a bottle of water near me, it's not a problem... Hyper-focus is an issue for me as well, but most of the time I'm glad to have it. Also, I rarely take it on weekends. And I do tend to sleep for a few more hours on a Sunday morning because of this. | Is there anything to combat my sexual side effect? Otherwise I love the drug. But considering myself a very sexual person... it's a real bummer. | M | 36 | 1 years | 2/8/2007 |
