Jitteriness if I take too much at once (to combat sleep-related problems). | Prescribed for up to four 5mg tablets per day, I usually take one in the morning (Mon-Fri) and in the afternoon as needed. I've had no definite addiction to it, but I think I have developed a tolerance as I have started to fall asleep at times during the day (I was thought to have narcolepsy 11 years ago). While, initially, there was some benefit for this drug, I don't see it anymore. I do not want to ramp up the dosage because of the potential for addiction. I've been off of it for over a week and re-tried a dose. It had little effect. :-( | M | 32 | 2 months | 10/26/2004 | 2 | ADD | Some weight loss (minor, but there).

Great for effiency at work but made me socially nervous and irritable. | F | 25 | 4 months | 10/25/2004 | 3 | ADD | Dry Mouth, Loss of Appetite, Diffuculty sleeping. | Works great for a little while, then leaves you feeling like you need more. | M | 20 | 6 months | 10/22/2004 | 5 | add/adhd/ocd/ptsd/sideeffects | I LOVED IT! IT FELT LIKE GREAT! | M | 2 | 15 years | 10/8/2004 | 4 | i like to get high | none | this shit is awesome | M | 8 | 6 months | 9/28/2004 | 4 | ADHD | Dry Mouth, bad taste, water helps this dramatically. Don't take after a certain time, usually 6-8 hours before bed. Will cause insomnia. I follow this rule and have actually been sleeping better than without. Don't take with too much caffeine. Increases undesirable effects of the meds. If you feel that you have to take more, increase coffee consumption while taking it, buzz around like a coke addict - maybe someone is addicted to the little blue speed pills and really doesn't have ADHD, junkies. | Not speedy at all. Slows me down, helps me focus and get my life more organized. I have found that not taking the same dose everyday when you can (holidays, tapering) makes this drug more effective. Take 15 mg twice a day. Sometimes have to force myself to eat, but high calorie, smaller meals seem to work. | F | 25 | 2 years | 8/23/2004 | 3 | ADD | EXTREME loss of appetite, less social, I would find myself very tired but when I would lay down to go to sleep I couldn't fall asleep | I see a great improvement in my focus. | F | 19 | 150 days | 8/21/2004 | 5 | | 8/12/2004 | 4 | ADD | Total and extreme loss of appetite first week. Lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks. Heightened my blood pressure. | I was taking up to 40 mg/day. In the beginning I had to eat calcium bars because I couldn't touch food for 3 days straight. Even though I needed to lose a few, nutritionally 1st few days were great for my diet. My appetite retuned but BP spiked too much and I was developing a tolerance. I had improved focus but was inconsistant. I am now with Concerta and LOVE it. | F | 34 | 44 days | 8/8/2004 | 5 | None. | I take 30. | M | 53 | 2 years | 8/7/2004 | 1 | ADHD | anxiety and distress. I am usually a happy-go-lucky person and was put on this med for ADHD. Within a few weeks I noticed by midday I was distressed, almost in tears. I didn't link it to the drug until a few days later I forgot my AM dose and for the first time in a while I felt happy as usual. I told my doctor about this and he told me to go back on it and see if I experienced the distress again. I did try one more dose and felt the anxiety coming on again. For me, it was very bad. | F | 41 | 3 weeks | 8/1/2004 | 5 | adult ADD | dry mouth, loss of appetite | It really helps me out during the day, but tolerance sucks.. | F | 20 | 6 days | 7/7/2004 | 4 | CFS/Fibromyalgia | Did increase ability to remain awake for more hours throughout the day and helped concentration. As with most medications, length of time on drug increases the body's tolerance to it. Without this medication, I would be unable to accomplish routine tasks of daily living. It's been a huge help. | F | 52 | 4 years | 7/7/2004 | 4 | ADHD | ADDICTIVE- but very effective if one has the power to take only as much as perscribed. HEY- ALOT easier said than done | I've seen the best and worst of what this drug can do. The first several years were amazing and ideal with controlling my adhd. College came around and for about a year I felt like I was fighting a crack addiction of sorts. I realized and FINALLY controlled my over consumption- but it was the hardest thing i have ever done. TO THOSE WHO HAS NEVER TAKEN MORE THAN YOU | F | 22 | 8 years | 7/4/2004 | 3 | ADD | For the first few days my stomach was upset and I had a bit of insomnia. Had more energy the first few days but that passed. | 36 yr old female - Started off taking 10 mg Adderall XR and went up to 60mg per day and it did nothing for me. Then again, I'm the type that doesn't have good luck w/ meds. I take noratriptelyne for depression (an older anti-depressant) the newer SSRI's didn't work on me - Effexor (the wonder drug) was a joke. So I may not be in the | F | 36 | 3 weeks | 6/22/2004 | 4 | adhd _bipolar | the only side effects i noticed was a dry mouth, slight rash on my chest, and an increase in sensitivity | this medication was a wonderful thing. i have been on many others this one seems to fit me better. i am able to focus. think more clearly, control anger better, and express how i am feeling in a more constructive manner. I am able to relax (sit and smell the roses)i guess you could say. not be running and getting nothing done, the constant need for movement decreased. i am on 20 in am and 10 pm we are slowly increasing (MY DOCTOR AND I) i feel this is a good medication for the right people with the right mental issiue | F | 33 | 2 months | 5/3/2004 | 4 | ADD | Loss of appetite the first weeks,then ok. At first, a bad mood when it wore off. I am finally acting more mature, but it is not as fun! I take less during the first 14 days of menstrual cycle (the good mood days!) because it took away that good mood. | I used to use my ADD hyperfocus quality to get things done, but since the Adderall, I tend to put things off because of the ability I have to restrain myself. Got rid of my impulsive speech, impulsive anger, nagging, hyper- sensitivity to criticism, & bullimia. More self-confidence. I can filter out distractions at e.g, parties and malls-I used to get mentally fatigued easily due to inability to filter. Not a cure-all, but it helps to cope with it. Starting premenopause now has thrown in another variable. | F | 49 | 3 years | 4/23/2004 |
