I have ADD, not ADHD. I noticed a difference in my cognitive abilities almost immediately after using Adderall XR. The 30 mg capsule made my heart race, so my dosage was reduced to 25 mg. The ideal dose for me would probably be somewhere in between 25 mg and 30 mg. My symptoms gradually worsened over a period of 30+ years and resulted in multiple job losses, divorces and financial difficulties. ...
My boyfriend is 100 percent dependant upon this drug. Although he claims it has changed his life by enabling him to focus at work. There is a severe downside to using this drug. He suffers from severe anxiety attacks, extreme mood swings, bursts of anger, lack of sex drive, depression, he is anti-social, he demonstrates obsessive compulsive disorder he suffers with extreme exhaustion, loss of ...

I always had issues, but not diagnosed until 40 years old. I am much calmer and focused. In the first 8 hours of taking, I sometimes forget to eat. My addiction to porn is gone and no desire to drink alcohol. Exactly the opposite from Concerta. Only issue is the anxiety from my sexless marriage is 100 percent in focus. At least now my focus is shifted to trying to fix and not wanting to kill my self. On the right track. If medications like concerta or ridalin are not working, this might be a great alternative. Good luck with your journey.Read More Read Less

Starting dose was 20mg XR for me. First few days taking it, I fell asleep within an hour. I understand this is to calm my sporadic mind, and it did so much that I took some of the best naps of my life. It's been four weeks now, still having a hard time eating throughout the day and getting enough water. Sometimes I am starving, but food just doesn't taste good. Definitely took off a star for that because I love food and our bodies need it. I have to force myself to eat. As far as focus goes, I have noticed a slight increase in focus. Better than I was before, and I'm able to sit in my chair longer. But with ADHD, I may never be fully focused and I've come to accept that. During days where I can relax, I try not to take it to let my body have a break. Especially since I don't need any type of focus during them. Read More Read Less
