User Reviews for Adderall oral

i have been taking 15mg 2x daily for about 4 or 5 months. I've lost 30 pounds! i have no desire to eat at all. i have to literally force myself to eat. this medicine has helped me sooo much. in high school i got D's and F's. i just finished college and was top in my class, straight A's! bad side effects: having to pee a lot, insomnia, towards the end of the day i get aggravated very easily and some what anti-social.

I started on 10mg 2x/day, and steadily increased to current dose of 30mg 2x/day. Although it doesn't work like it used to, I can't function without it. It tends to make me a little irritable and anxious at times. Within the last 6-8 months I've noticed leg pain, tingling, and swelling. I'm unsure if it's related to medication. I've tried other meds but none has helped. Side effects can be annoying, but benefits are worth it.

This has been a miracle drug for me. I suffered from SWSD, Major dep. disorder, obesity, an other afflictions, and adderall seems to alleviate them all. The one draw back is it does give me panick attacks, but it far outweighs the side effects.

I dont have ADD..I am bi- polar and aside from the bi- polar meds i take, adderal has really made me focus when i otherwise have to deal with 'lows' that distract me from the everyday.. i am too busy for that. i dont eat much but to tell you the truth, i dont mind. I love this medication.. dont know what i would do without it.

I have ADD.I have used ritalin,conserta,& strattera before finaly using adderall. Ritalin, conserta,& stattera all caused me to be excessively tired, an in the case of strattera I nearly blanched out. With adderal I have none of thoes.

it has changed my whole life arround beforetreatment i was anti-social,could not count change to pay for something and i would not be able to learn how to work this computer.

I have narcolepsy/cataplexy. have taken several meds over the past 2 yrs. adderall is just like the rest, it helps for a while,but loses it's effectiveness. Taking 20mg every morning, provigil 100mg at noon.

With other treatments, I couldn't tell a difference at all in myself(33 yr old woman) or my son (14 yrs). aftertalking to my son, I decided to talk to my doctor about stopping meds altogether, since they are also very expensive. He wanted to try adderol first. I can definately tell a difference when I take my medicine, & when I do not. My son was held back last year at school,& at semester they moved him back up, so Im contributing alot of that to the adderol.

I have been taking Adderall XR 25mg for 1 year, I attend college and have Adult ADHD it has helped me to improve my grades and I have made the Deans List.

I don't have Narcolepsy but something close. My apologies with my spelling but my problems is called ideo-pathic-hyper- somnia. This just means there is no explanation for why this is the way that I am. I have taken test after test, 2- overnight sleep studies and 1 -three day sleep study. My results have been seen by many specialtist and nothing. I am on 30mgs -3 times a day totalling 90mgs of adderall and 20 mgs of ritilin /3 times a day totalling 60 mgss a day and with both of these I can still sleep and sleep hard. I go through good days and bad days or sperts. The bad days or sperts out do the good days. I have tried every drug possible and every strength, I have tried anti-depressants, narcoleptic medications and nothing works. At first adderall was wonderful and gave me my life back, but it has been almost 3 years and it just doesn't do it anymore. It helps slightly but I have to force my self to do anything and everything. I don't know what to do anymore. I am willing to try anything, I just want to be normal again, I want to be able to play with my kids, I don't want to be cranky anymore. I want to live, I am to young to be this old. Can anyone help.Read More Read Less

this drug makes me fell wonderful

i could concentrate on the work at hand. i was acceptionaly calm when getting in front of class. i feel it helped a lot.

I have Narcolepsy and have had it for 3 years. It wasn't diagnosed until March '07 and that's when my Dr. gave me Adderall. It gave me my life back. I started on 20mg/day, now I take 40mg 3/day. It took a couple of months to find the right dosage and level off. I would have to write a book to explain what I was going through, and what I was putting my family through...so I will spare you of that. But don't take this drug just to lose weight, it's a serious medication with some side effects. Go on a diet.Read More Read Less

Helped me focus, ability to complete tasks instead of being unable to complete one of the 10 tasks I would be attempting.

taking for fatigue, have ms

I use Adderall XR 10MG. It helps me to stay focused and keeps me from feeling mentally lazy. I can "get more done". But, I believe the effects are wearing off because the medication doesn't work as well as it once did. I now take 20 MG per day and I still feel as if the effects (benefits) are not as strong as they used to. I may stop taking it for a while.

This medication has destroyed my life.
