| Rating | Reason | Side Effects | Comments | Sex | Age | Time Taken and Dosage | Date Added | |
| 4 | Adult ADHD | I constantly want cold/iced drinks, very thristy, my eyes are constantly dry, about 9hrs or so after taking it I "come down" really hard and experience extreme exhaustion for about 45 mins after the "come down" I'm not as hungry when I take it, though when I do eat its junk food so no weight loss, occasional mood swings, extreme body temperature change(from hot to cold and chilled to warm) regardless of the weather/temperature. I've noticed its more difficult for me to wake up in the mornings than before I started taking adderall, it causes my heart to beat faster. | Before I started taking this medication, it was a waste to expect me to sit still and play a game/watch a movie/have a conversation without have to get up multiple times and/or fidget. I was prone to interrupting people when they were talking, being easily side tracked by anything and everything and being incredibly impulsive. The benefits of this medication have out weighed the not so diserable side effects. I'm now more focused and I'm able to sit still longer than 5 minutes. | F | 24 | 3 weeks 20mg 1X D | 3/7/2010 | |
