| 5 | ADD | MY side effects were mild. Had to make sure to take my last dose daily before 6 or 8PM to insure a good nights sleep. Sex drive goes up with the ability to focus and stay with everything. | I have taken Adderall,( counting a six month trial of no meds), for about 18 months. This medication is truely one of the most help things I have ever found. I tried some of the others thatare out there, but they all had side effects that were either too much to handle or to much for others to handle. I know that this medication and ones like it, can be very addictive, they should only be taken by those who have the will power and or non-addictive personalities. This medication will make you jumpy at first, but this is something that you need to really pay attention to. Take this after you eat, and do not take this within 4 hours of going to bed. I experienced an increase in my sex drive and an increase in the other things that it is made to help. (i.e. Concentration, focus, energy, patience, positive attitude.) I have a wife and 4 kids, and with that comes a lot of things that you want to do, but sometimes, because of the way you feel,(unmedicated), you just can't get the energy or wi | M | 34 | 1.5 years | 9/29/2006 | 5 | ADD | Weight loss | It's an amazing drug. i went from failing the 6th grade 4th semester when i first started on it to getting a's in all my classes the last semester. There's a huge difference between when I do and don't use it. I'm more motivated to do things when I've taken it (even things like cleaning my room I don't need to be told to do). ADD drugs are fickle though so what works for one person may not for another. Doesn't mean you should give up though if this one fails there are others out there. The dose did have to be increased as i got older because naturally i grew so the same dose had a lesser effect on my 18 year old body as it had on my 12 year old one. :D | F | 19 | 7 years | 9/29/2006 | 1 | adhd | dry mouth, not hungry, panic attacks, nose bleeds, bad temper, extreme deppression.The first few months it was fine but it slowly kreeps up on you. i cant remember a lot of things and i used to have a great memory. I have been taking adderall for 6 years and it has done more harm than good. I became very violent with my self and others. I became bipolar and very depressed, i would cry over anything my main issue was thinking i wasnt loved when i was but this medication just changed my persononality. I am a very fun loving outgoing person but on this medication i am shy, and distant. I would not recomend this to any one it does more harm than good. I dont know what to do now because i am scared of what it has alrady done to me. i dont know if it will mess me up even more if i stop taking it | F | 19 | 6 years | 9/23/2006 | 5 | ADHD | Jitters mainly in the morning | More focused, calmer mentally | M | 42 | 8 weeks | 9/22/2006 | 3 | Problems with focus | Mild to moderate insomnia. Anxiety symptoms such as chest pain or chest squeezing on the left and right side of my chest. | I only take 10 mg extended release (XR) in the morning. It definitely has increased my productivity at work. However I also tend to get intensely focused on things that are a waste of my time, such as internet surfing, etc. when I should be doing something more productive. I haven't really lost any weight on it. Maybe 2-3 pounds in 4 months. | F | 35 | 4 months | 9/21/2006 | 4 | ADD | Weightloss (however, unstable), insomnia, dry mouth, change in personality, depressed moods and feelings of isolation/anti-social, headaches, nausia, skin problems, and counting... | ADDERAL is a "Members only" drug. If you have taken it for a year + you know what I am talking about. Like me -you have probably been through it all with this drug...yet you fear the day they revoke your membership. when I started: I lost 25 pounds. I went from academic probation to the Deen's List. Recieived a job promotion,because I actually finished my work. And got accepted to Grad School, something that I NEVER thaught I would/could do. This drug has honestly done "wonders" for me in these areas. Going on my second year of taking ADDERALL (which seems to be the magic # for when the -'s start to catch up to the +'s). I took several months off-gained back 15 pounds. I drink a gallon of water a day to keep my mouth from feeling like I swallowed a bucket of sand, i'm dead tired but can't sleep, and I feel like i'm on "come-down" (headsches/nausia) every morning.

Taken daily I feel a sencce of emptiness, anxiety and anti-social. When I don't take it my friends refer to me as "party Amy". I return phone calls, make plans to go out, engage in conversation and eat...(alot)! The fact is -that ADDERALL WORKS! If you want to do better in school or professionaly this drug does wonders! If you want to loose weight it can help. But be warned - this is not a magic pill - its more of a catch 22. It causes just as many problems as it does solutions. | F | 24 | 2 years | 9/20/2006 | 5 | MS (multiple sclerosis) | I take Adderall XR 30mg. It gives me enough energy to LIVE! 6days on, 1day off. On the 1day off, I take amantadine to help get me thru the day and fend off the fatigue; helps get me from bed to the couch and fall asleep off and on all day up til time to head back to bed. Extremely fatigued, lethargic w/o it. Take many other meds, so no particular side-effects attributed just to Adderall. | You folks who are using it just to get high, to help you 'study', etc; in general, have no legitimate medical need for it...what a waste!! Take it all the time...of course it stops working. The body builds a tolerance to almost anything it's given repeatedly whether it needs it or not. What a shame when you can't find any to buy or steal. | F | 52 | 4 years | 9/15/2006 | 2 | attention deficit disorder | at first: euphoria, clarity, weight loss, jittery, rapid heart beat -- now: anxiety, depression, tremor, avoidance | Adderall leaves users in ruins. Look at the comments that have been posted, and notice a pattern=> people who are new to adderall are in love with it; people who have been taking Adderall for over 2 years are all unhappy. Adderall is amphetamine, it's toxic, you'll build rapid tolerance. (cont) | M | 24 | 4 years | 9/11/2006 | 2 | ADD | I must say it's idiotic that this site organizes user ratings from 5-very satisfied to 1-dissastisfied. Well if you've made it this far down the list, please read => | (read above) There is a tradeoff to how great this drug performs initially. Tolerance is inevitable and exponentially builds. Adderall will turn into a life long commitment, as the withdrawal from coming off of this drug can leave you so unmotivated, that getting out of bed seems like a dreadful concept. | M | 24 | 4 years | 9/11/2006 | 2 | i wanted to get high | first couple hours: feelings of intimacy, very social, happiness, loss of apetite, hyperness, motivation. after the first couple hours: depression, anxiety, big pupils, insomnia, deep thoughts about life, cravings for more addies | don't f* around with this drug, it's just legal meth and extremely addicting, plus you'll build up a tollerace. At one point i was taking over 150mg in a day and binging for up to 3 days without sleep. | M | 18 | 4 months | 9/7/2006 | 2 | AFF | Complete loss of sexual drive, size of penis reduced dramtically, hunger loss, long lasting depression, dependency, imsomnia, obsessive compulsive, constipation, diarrea | I have been on this drug from 14 years of age to present, I remember back in those days I had an actual sex drive and liked girls a lot, Now im like in a asexual trance unable to hold a lasting erection is near impossible, Though this drug has dramatically helped my grades it has taken a toll on my social and sex life | M | 17 | 3 years | 9/5/2006 | 1 | ADD | Sleeplessness, NO appetite, always wanted to study, Increased desire for cigarettes which I had previously quit. | Wow. So this drug DID help me do well in college, which is the only plus I can give it. I Wieghed 150 at the start of this med and dropped down to 130 on addderal. I literally had to force food down my throat just to eat. now I'm a toothpick It made my minor Tourettes Syndrome VERY severe to the point where i got in a few car wrecks because of it and didnt want to be social and around anyone. I am now off Adderall and forced to take 3 meds to try and subdue my TS - including a damn Antipsychotic! As if TS wasnt Stigmatizing enough... GO ADDERAL! thanks for ruining my carrer for ever. | M | 21 | 6 months | 9/3/2006 | 4 | Taking it for concentration at work | Everything was wonderful for 10 months. I had a very intense boot camp 9 weeks and 17 hrs a day and that is when I started Adderall. I lost 20 pounds and felt awesome not to mention it got me through the class! Then in Jan 2006 my blood pressure went from 110/70 to 203/110. I spent 10 days in the hospital. They took me off the Addarall and thought that was the problem. I have still had issues the past few months. I want so bad to go back on but deathly afraid I'll have a stroke or something. All of a sudden I went from 125 to 148~ gained 25+ lbs in just 10 days. I have had so many tests etc but no answers. I have never had a weight problem. Could this be a side effect from stopping Adderall? Has anyone exerienced anything similar? | Please let me know if anyone on Adderall experienced blood pressure issues and/or severe, rapid weight gain! This really helped me and I'm so tempted to go back on. | F | 41 | 10 months | 8/31/2006 | 5 | ADD | sleeplessness, loss of appetite, difficulty socializing. | I have been on Adderall for over 10 years. I started taking it when a variety of other drugs did not help or had bad side effects. When I began taking it, it was still a 'triplicate perscription', meaning the state was keeping track of how many people took it. I take drug vacations now and then. My longest was almost a year, it was a mistake... my life quickly became self destructive... I couldn't concentrate on things as simple as paying bills. I went through a stage trying herbal alternatives, fish oils, etc... nothing quite puts me at the productivity level that adderall does (and with that, comes self satisfaction). Dealing with the side effects is not always easy - but is definatly worth it in my case. My sleeping schedule may not be regular, but I have found much success in my work. I have no formal schooling, but am a self-taught software developer. I've been with the same firm for 7 years, make between $75-$100K/yr depending on projects and investments. Pretty goo | M | 25 | 10 years | 8/24/2006 | 4 | I'm NOT on Adderal 10. ADD diag. | forget to eat or drink anything. Am 5'10" and have gone from 149 to 143 in a month (don't want to get any thinner!) Really have to remember to eat. Occasional mild dry mouth I'm COLD. My normal blood pressure and resting heart rate & body temp are low. (96.7 at Dr's yesterday) May be related to low weight? THought low blood sugar but eating hasn't seemed to help. | I'm participating in a clinical study that's testing a new version of Adderall that has an enzyme so you can't overdose on it because your body will only absorb so much at a time. Blind study, so don't know my dose for first 3 weeks Could have been placebo, but I suspect 30 mg. Last week was 30 mg. Today is my first day of 60 mg. I'm 49 and had never been diagnosed with ADD- so never been evaluated or on drugs. More the "paralysis of will" thing than hyperactivity. Seemed much worse in ast few months (menopause, maybe?) Then got laid off w/no warning & just STOPPED. I don't have kids, husband, etc. to force me into motion. I've NEVER felt this drug "kick in" & fall asleep immediately (always have). It may "knock me out" once a day. Notice this wk I've sat wkg at computer fo 4-5 hrs w/out getting up (not good!) Since it doesn't prioritize you, I can get "lost" working on something unimportant (like this) for way too long. Haven't notic | F | 49 | 8 days | 8/19/2006 | 1 | ADD | Sometimes I think that my attention span is worse now. Yes, I am able to concentrate but it makes me be too much of a perfectionist, so I end up being perfect in some areas and really slack in others. I have always been easy going not I have outbursts of Anger, short temper, more compulsions, hair pulling, loss of memory, they say I have a personality change for the worse. Weight loss (which I love, but I am an ex anorexic so I have to be careful) | I have gone from 30 mg to 20 mg to now 10 mg but hopefully can get off soon. I know it is not the drug for me, but can't seem to make myself just stop. I do have attention problems but this just adds to other problems. | F | 44 | 6 months | 8/18/2006 | 1 | ADHD | My son first started taking Adderall when he was in 1st grade. He was 7 years old in the spring of his first grade year and I can not tell you how scary it was for us when he started telling us about the four distinct voices that he would hear throughout the day. He had four voices, which had names (I can not recall them now) and they were telling him what to do. We were in the process of having him evaluated when the voices suddenly stopped. We had taken him off of medication for the summer and hadn’t put two and two together that this was the reason for the vanishing of the voices. He went back on Adderall on September. By October my son was taken to an inpatient mental facility for evaluation because he had become suicidal. He spent last school year on Concerta but I recently found out that the same sort of side effects have been reported with that drug. My son is now a happy, healthy, inattentive and overactive 10 year old and I don’t want him any other way. No more dru | M | 7 | 2 years | 8/18/2006 | 5 | ADD/ADHD | Dry mouth, mild dizziness (doesn't happen very often),decrease in appetite(in a good way), and breathing troubles (feels like i can't take a full breath) | Adderall works wonders for me. It helps me stay focus, it calms me down, stops me from feeling I constantly have to move, I'm a better listener, I get in less fights with my parents because it stops me from acting on impulse and I think my actions through more now, and it keeps me from eating constantly. I used to eat ALL the time... not because I was hungy, but it was more like a hand-to-mouth thing, and with the adderall, i still eat meals, but i don't eat snacks anymore, which is more healthy for me. Well the first ten days it worked great, but then I started having trouble breathing and it felt like i couldn't take a full breath or couldn't get enough air in one breath. So I stopped taking it just in case, but the next night I went to the ER because I had slight chest pains and my chest kept getting tighter. It turns out I had walking pneumonia, so I thought that once I was over it the breathing problems would go away. They did, but I started taking my Adderall again, and t | F | 16 | 1 months | 8/13/2006 |
