| 5 | concentration, memory loss, anxiety | First of all if you say you hate this drug, it didnt help you etc.. Then you didnt need it to begin with. I had to go through many tests before I was prescribed. Started at the lowest dosage and moved up from there to find WHAT WAS RIGHT FOR ME. If you aren't ADD then this will be a caffeine pill for you. Be careful who prescribes this to you. I saw a psychiatrist for months of testing before it was confirmed. Sure at first my appetite was off, but other than that it has changed my life.I reccommend proper testing and diagnosis. If you take this drug to cram for a test or to study it will ruin you. It has increased my cardio while making me focus on the smallest details. Why? Because I truly am ADD. If you have any questions I can answer them all and would be happy to. [email protected] is how u can reach me. I actually have controlled of my life now. I didnt intend for this to come off as rude but people who dont need this drug abuse it and then bash it online. If you read this thank you. Josh | M | 25 | 1 years 25 | 3/8/2014 | 5 | Hypothyroidism/ADD | Increased heart rate, breath rate increased, felt like breathing was easier, increased light sensitivity. | This drug is a life saver for me! I have had issues with chronic fatigue and ADD type symptoms since 19, but once I ended up hypothyroidism, everything went to heck. I was diagnosed right when I started back to college. My grades went from C's to A's and B's, which is more along the lines of where they were before health problems. It also helped with my mood and self esteem. I do not take them every day. Only on days where I need to "function", and never more than what I am supposed to because I am terrified of addiction. | F | 38 | 3 months 20 mg 1X day | 1/7/2014 | 4 | ADD | Depression, Thoughts of suicide. Feeling out of reality. Loss of appetite but when I eat I become really hungry. Sorta anti social. | I've tried taking this a while ago and almost attempted suicide after thinking it wasn't the medicine and it was just me. | M | 15 | 4 weeks 40 1X day | 9/10/2013 | 4 | ADHD | Lasting: Loss of appetite, dry mouth, stinky breath On first 2 days only: anxiety, dizziness, nausea, insomnia | F | 15 | 1 months 10 MG XR | 8/30/2013 | 5 | ADD | Loss of appetite, if you force yourself to eat you will find that you were incredibly hungry. Headaches from not eating. If my dosage was too high I would be very antisocial. It has worked wonders for me. Once I figured out the right dose, I felt like a normal human being. | F | 16 | 10 days 40 mg | 11/26/2012 | 2 | Abuse | Mania, OCD-like symptoms, insomnia, loss of appetite (until it wore off, then I was ravenous), dissociation, increased anxiety and aggitation, restlessness | At first this drug was great (everything I wanted). Then I realized it was actually sucking the richness out of my life. I became so focused on work and cleaning and getting things "done" that my relationships suffered. And even though I didn't feel hungry, I'm sure my body was actually very hungry because I would feel the crashes at the end of the day and feel very ill and worn-down. On the plus side, my house was spotless. Oh well, I'd rather have a rich, full, beautiful life than live it like a manic zombie. | F | 6 weeks 60 MG 1X day | 10/19/2012 | 3 | ADHD | Negative: significant increase in acne, caused painful cysts all around chin. Insomnia during the first week or so. Positive: Increase in productivity and attention span, 10-lb weight loss due to decreased appetite. | Much less side effects than Vyvanse. Vyvanse made me sweaty, irritable, and anxious. The Adderall's acne is the only thing that is bothersome, but I think the positives outweigh that side effect. | F | 21 | 2 months 20 MG 1X day | 9/20/2012 | 1 | Adult ADD | MAJOR hair loss | F | 51 | 1 months 20 mg. 1X day | 9/20/2012 | 5 | Adult ADHD | Dry mouth, frequent urination, occasional, mlid jaw clenching, weight loss and decreased appetite. | Overall, Adderall has been very beneficial. Increased concentration, more productive and "on-task." | F | 51 | 3 months 10mg 2X day | 9/16/2012 | 2 | Major Depression with anhedonia | Fast heartbeat | I was taking this due to my anhedonic symptoms of depression (lack of sex drive, apathy, feeling "empty" or zombielike, the inability to feel pleasure, no drive/motivation, etc.). All it did was raise my heartrate without any effect on my mood or emotion. Perhaps this was because of a cross tolerance to Ritalin which I was taking a week before? I took up to 15mg and my heart was pounding so hard it was uncomfortable and I felt light headed and felt tingly/numb at my extremities. Bad on the heart apparently. | 4 days 15mg 2X day | 9/16/2012 | 3 | ADD | Not dry mouth but insanely thirsty. All the water on earth couldb quench my thirst. I still have the same appetite as before but it seems to have blocked my cravings. That may lead to some weight loss in the future but it's only been two weeks. Sleep has not been a problem at all. Today actually I took my adderall at 9am and by noon I had to take an hour nap because I couldb keep my eyes opened. I do not notice much change with focus or concentration. I did notice two days ago when I took adderall that at around 7pm I guess maybe I was coming down from it and I didn't want to ve around anyone. I was antisocial and everything annoyed me. That has only happened once though. I think my dose may be too low or maybe I need a new medication but I am not fully satisfied with adderall XR so far. I'll stay on it until my dr. Appointment a couple months. | F | 21 | 2 weeks 20 mg | 8/22/2012 | 5 | Failed Macbeth & school referred me | Dry Mouth Insomnia (sometimes) No need to eat (definitely a positive during school..I eat lunch fine) | I failed Macbeth and am on the special ed services with a 504 plan. My school apparently had people watching me and discovered I get distracted...I'm not hyper just "oh look a bird" and that type of thing. First time I took it....I was so happy and answering questions...it was finally the piece to finish the puzzle for success! | M | 17 | 3 months 20 MG 1X day | 8/6/2012 | 4 | Supposedly for ADD, mostly 4 myself | Dry mouth (severe); irritable (mild); sleep loss (mild); clench teeth (mild-severe); tooth decay from dry mouth (mild); jittery (low-mild); dizziness (low); | M | 32 | 2 years 30mg | 7/13/2012 | 4 | ADD | Dry mouth, increased thirst, increased hyperactivity as soon as medicine kicked in as well as stomach pains and increased need to smoke. Increased ability to focus and concentrate. When medicine was wearing off I would experience a crashing feeling that led me to feel mild irritability and hostility. | After many years of being misdiagnosed, my doctor finally diagnosed me with adult ADD. I was initially put on Ritalin which did not work. After being put on Adderall XR 10mg, I am now on Adderall XR 30mg and I take Adderall IR 10mg when I have classes at night. It has helped a great deal. Most of the time I don't like the side effects but unfortunately, sometimes you have to weigh the benefits and risks and decide for yourself whether this is the right medication for you. | F | 29 | 3 years 30 1X day | 6/2/2012 | 5 | Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibrofog | Sometimes feel jittery when the morning dosage kicks in, but that doesn't last long. After a very stressful day I sometimes feel burned out at night. Decreased appetite. | Despite the side effects I really like this med. It gives me energy and makes me very focused which enables me to work on very complex projects without feeling overwhelmed. I have become my usual happy and social self. The chronic fatigue made me withdrawn and very anxious when I had to partake in meetings or long discussions. I felt so inadequate. Now I present projects with confidence, focus and great energy, and I even have time for friends and volunteer work. I don't take it on weekends unless I absolutely have to. Really love this med. | F | 42 | 6 months 20mg 2X day | 2/29/2012 | 3 | ADHD | At first I loved this med, I lost weight and was full of energy! It did give me head aches often and increase my anxiety but not enough to make me stp taking it! After months went by I start swelling in my hands and face from my blood pressure then one morning I woke up and my lips were swollen so I called my doc and he told me not to take it any more so I have been off of it since then! I Feel like this med is ok for short term us as long as you are 100% healthy before starting it! | F | 30 | 4 months 10mg | 1/14/2012 | 4 | ADD | lack of appetite | I liked this medication; it helped me get things done. I had to go off of it after 8 months because it was stressing out my heart. | F | 25 | 8 months 20mg 1X day | 1/4/2012 | 2 | ADHD | I sweat more, some increased anxiety but overall concentration and performance were enhanced. | I have been on this medication for a while and it has made a big difference in the quality of my life. However, my insurance will only cover generic if generic is available. The past two months I have been on the generic and it does not work as well. My concentration isn't as good, I am having increased difficulty completing tasks. Yesterday I experienced something strange...out of no where I got really hot and anxious. It was awful. Also the generic has caused me to become more depressed. I like adderall but not the generic. | F | 23 | 4 years 30 1X day | 1/3/2012 | 2 | adhd | erectile dysfunction,stomach discomfort,cold sweat, | side effects were enough for me to discontinue its use. however, i still might try out additional adhd medications, even though they might have similar ingredients.they may not be exactly the same. IM TRYING TO HANG LOOSE WITHOUT LOSING THE CABOOSE | M | 28 | 2 days 20mg 2X day | 12/20/2011 | 4 | ADHD, Lack of motivation | With: High concentration/motivation, low appetite Without: always about to fall asleep no matter what, feeling like crap, easily agitated, zero motivation. | M | 16 | 3 years 30 | 12/17/2011 |
