| 3 | college, and just to try it out | Bad Side Effects: Slight and/or tense headaches here and there (these get worse the longer I go without more adderall and I'm afraid they'll eventually get to the point where it'd be the first step towards addiction), small shaking in hands, fatigue, minor loss of appetite, REALLY bad cotton mouth and chapped lips, annoyingly talkative, nervousness, insomnia, un-rhythmic heart beat, my blood pressure “feels” like its high, a random tingling feeling that happens in my: (joints and/or muscles and/or veins), dizziness/light headedness, when I take HIGH doses (120-240 mg of the adderall xr 30mg pills in less than a 24 hour period), my headaches, tingling, and jitters are the only symptoms left until 5 or so hours after taking it, then all my symptoms are back twice as bad. GoodSideEffects: The main thing of course is being able to concentrate on one task longer than usual, I'm NOT experiencing mood swings (THANK GOD), I'm not losing weight; which for me being 130 lbs | Last week, I got some adderall, I decided to take a pill at 11:45pm, even though I just finished my liter of MtnDew. The MtnDew seemed to make the adderall way more intense than normal, idk for sure. But 5-10min after taking the pill, I had the strong urge to be super talkative, which isn’t me. Soon after, my hands started to tremble, but I still was able to play Halo: Reach that night. When I finally went to bed at 3:45am, all I could do was lay in bed and I never once felt tired nor ever really stopped thinking. While my mind was constantly reeling, I remembered the times I'd get high before going off bed. I thought about how there are similarities and yet differences between falling asleep with weed or adderall in your system. Starting first with THC, you definitely can't fall asleep right after getting high because your mind reels with random and unique thoughts, kind of like adderall, except your thoughts aren’t random or unique. Roughly 30-60 mins after laying down after toking up you should be able to fall asleep, except when you fall asleep high, maybe it’s just me, you don’t dream. With adderall, my mind might also be buzzing like when it is on weed, but my mind was always focused on one thing/idea and I never felt tired enough to fall asleep. So, back to my first adderall night, all I could really do was talk to myself (I am up at college and I couldn’t really talk to my sleeping roommate. The sad part was, I had to get out of bed at 6 | M | 19 | 8 days 30 mg 2X day | 9/28/2010 Patient History | 1 | my 8 y/o son | Severe aggression, weight loss, depression, | My 8 year old son was prescribed this drug 14 months ago and everyday I watch the glow in his eyes fade away. He would normally go outside and play with his friends and siblings...now I just watch him sit around and crave sugar all day. Now he would be active sometimes...depends on the hour of the day. He's awoke all night, very tired in the morning...always moody and loses more weight than I gain. I wish parents would not put their kids on this medication because you're just robbing them of their youth...try a Naturopath | F | 27 | 14 months 20mg 1X day | 9/13/2010 | 5 | ADHD | Terrible fatigue if I go off it for a few days. When I first started taking it, or when I take it after days of not taking any pills, I get very hyper, ready to just go-go-go-go with so much energy I could run a marathon and not break a sweat. Along with that, I get very edgy, often to the point of rage. I now take it regularly (every week day) and I don't have that issue anymore. The only issues I have now are dry mouth/extreme thirst and increased urination due to drinking so much. I also chew the inside of my jaw and it's quite annoying because I don't realise I'm doing it unless I catch myself. The side effects are minor and at least for me, the benefits/pros FAR outweigh the cons. | I have very severe ADHD and this is the only thing I have ever tried that has helped. I've tried ALL the study techniques that I could find, all the time management techniques, work methods, etc. and Ritalin, which messed me up so bad I lost memory of the years I was on it. Adderall XR not only wakes me up and gives me energy, it helps me focus. My attention span has gone from 10 seconds to potentially hours. It doesn't make me lose weight or sleep...in fact, I can nap quite well with it and sleep through the night and not have to worry about my ribs showing because I can still eat a ton. People take for granted the ability to sit down and focus on a task for any period of time and the ability to start something and actually finish it. It's not a "miracle" drug because it doesn't make me want to do it or motivate me in any way, but I do get it done when I need to. I also suffer from low BP so this drug's "side effect" of making your blood pressure increase has actually been a benefit to me because my normal 81/53 blood pressure will usually become a normal or near-normal BP when I take the pill. | F | 22 | 5 months 30 MG 1X day | 8/19/2010 | 3 | FM/ CFS | headaches, feeling jittery, burning out | When I started taking Adderall I thought it was the greatest drug EVER. Initially, I started taking 15mg in the morning after breakfast. It would make me very focused, very creative, and very calm. I thought it was amazing, despite the headaches I had on some days. On the weekends I didn't take it because I was afraid of getting too dependant of it. Now, after 3 months of taking 20mg twice a day, I am ready to quit. The calm, focused feeling I don't get anymore; I only felt like using Nitrox in a car that was otherwise a wreck... The Adderall pushed me although my body was already burned out. I would feel extremely drained and exhausted every single day. I switched to Nuvigil which doesn't give me the highs but makes me feel like myself again... Please, don't push it too far as it takes a toll on your body and your mind... | F | 40 | 3 months 20mg 2X day | 7/12/2010 | 5 | ADD | Decreased respiratory function. Numbness. Loss of appetite. Addictive. | Probably the best drug you can legally be given. I've written 200 songs, earned an ACS Chemistry maintaining a 3.95 GPA, learned C++, read an encyclopedia, and have almost completely learned to speak German in only 5 years since I began taking Adderall XR. This stuff rocks! | M | 27 | 5 years 20 1X day | 6/30/2010 | 5 | Chronic Fatigue, Depression | Always tired, slight depression. | Great medicine, but not for certain people. This goes along with my personal, because I'm a passionate and aggressive person so I can 'understand' how Adderall makes you feel. Some people aren't aware of it and get become argumentative. | M | 24 | 30 1X day | 6/24/2010 | 4 | ADHD, Anxiety, depression | Dry mouth, loss of appetite, paranoia, increased anxiety, terrible headaches, loss of emotion in general, and extreme heightening of any existing emotions, big increase in blood pressure, difficulty sleeping, lots of things. The better things were it felt like my mind was locked into place and I could really focus if I wanted to. Like I could grip my thoughts and use them, not watch them for a split second before they went away. | I would never recommend it. It was a mistake for it to ever be put out there... I'm aware of all the dangers it's causing to me, but I can't stop because I know I need it and I feel like without it I won't amount to anything. Ever since taking this I've gotten straight A's and had perfect attendance, for now three full years, but it does something. I feel locked inside myself when I'm on it. If I get sad for one moment, it really speeds that up and I'll feel almost suicidal over the tiniest things, or extremely excited about stupid things I hardly care about. It changed me from the irritating loud mouth to the kid in the corner who doesn't talk to anyone. It makes me second guess myself and just doubt. I'm starting to think it's the adderall, but after always being a very sweet guy, I've slowly felt myself turning into something else, like a complete asshole. I feel very prude, and would honestly call/consider a girl if she's kissed somebody. I can't eat on it, I just don't want to, I have lethargy. I'm right now doing this when I've told myself to get up and learn a song I have to perform for graduation tomorrow for the past 2 hours and I still am too focused to get up, I just want to keep doing something, I don't want that three seconds of getting up to find my guitar to end the streak, it has to be constant. It's hell, just don't use it. My mouth hurts like hell, I don't know if it smells bad, but I've heard dry mouth leads to that, but it seriously feels like a 20 lb w | M | 18 | 4 years 25mg 1X day | 6/10/2010 | 4 | ADD/ADHD | Generally no appetite, have lost 30 pounds since December 2009. Increase in pulse and blood pressure, headache, and nausea. | Overall it's worked pretty well for me, I can usually concentrate better than I was able to without taking adderall XR. Occasionally I do get stuck on words when I can't think of what I'm trying to say, and I can't really break the concentration that's on trying to remember the word. I have tachycardia, but adderall xr doesn't always increase my pulse, when it does though, it's not by much. (the highest pulse I've noticed when doing nothing has been 170, but my pulse usually is between 120-135) As for the increase in blood pressure, that's actually been a big change since my BP was normally a perfect 120/80, whereas now it can range from normal to pretty high. (the highest I've noticed being 179/119). I'm really happy with my appetite being almost completely diminished. It's definitely helped me control my calorie intake, and I've lost 30 pounds in 5 months. | F | 21 | 5 months 30MG 1X day | 5/4/2010 | 5 | ADHD | Loss of appetite. | My little sister (12) was prescribed with ADHD and her doctor told her to try adderall. She's been significantly calmer and concentrates better while on it. Occasionally, she misses a dosage and eats a lot more than she does on the pill and gets out of control. | F | 15 | 5 years 20 mg 1X day | 4/17/2010 | 4 | ADD | Major side effects: Lack of sleep(daily), loss of appetite(big time!), and loss of wight, dry whitish mouth and bad breath. Minor Side effects: occasional chest pain, easily exhausted when work out, "crash feeling" 9 hours after, less stable bowel movement, "weaker stomach" than before and occasional feeling of sickness and nausea. The GOOD: Great focus, confidence, i do things more easily, and without too much thinking and hesitation as I used to. | I never really believed in psychiatry and almost gave up on my inability to achieve anything in life, until i seeked help and was started on Addreall. Over all, this drug has helped me tremendously and has had a positive effect on my life. I'm now able to multi task, not as easily distracted, and have more confidence in my self. found that the lack of sleep can be overcome by taking your dosage very early in the morning, although you'd have to train yourself to sleep when u really don't feel like it. I didn't find it addictive as some claim; but I do believe that it has a negative impact on the heart. I used to be regular jogger and now find it pretty difficult to run a small 5k, and sometimes find myself fatigued with no reason. Mind you I've been inactive for the last two years. But other than that I think this drug is a great aide for those who've suffered set backs in their life because of ADD crippling their potential. | M | 26 | 5 days 30mg 1X day | 3/31/2010 | 4 | add | F | 34 | 6 days | 12/4/2009 | 5 | ADHD | in the very beginnning, appetite loss. lost 30 lbs :) | adderall xr saved my life! this is sad to say, but without it i can't function. it seems to diminish most of my adhd symptoms to a functable level. before it, i was very ...how to put it....non observant of my environment which caused me to break my arm twice within three months of each other, on the same arm!! now, i haven't had anything like that. and it's been three years. ican sit and focus on games, my household. | F | 24 | 3.5 years | 11/12/2009 | 4 | ADD | I can't take it in the afternoon if I am going to go to sleep anytime in the following 10 hours. Other than that I have had no negative side effects. | I take 20mg in the morning and sometimes another 20mg around noon. If I don't take it around noon I am typically excessively tired or over active in the evenings and not very productive. I also try to take a 1 day break every 2 weeks or so. | M | 48 | 4 years | 10/22/2009 | 3 | chronic fatigue | Works good but I really was expecting better. Regardless, still the best med I've tried yet. | M | 29 | 3 months | 6/27/2009 |
