User Reviews for Adderall XR oral

I take 40 mg ER in the a.m. half life is supposed to be 12 hrs. Maybe my metabolism is slow but after taking this dose for years before retiring, I now CANNOT get to sleep or stay asleep despite my dr prescribing sleep aids.

Being a 67 year old woman in pursuit of two Masters degrees simultaneously, I have felt a bit of pressure (!) over the last 4 years. I managed well until a whirlwind of both good and bad family issues consumed me to the point of mental disfunction last year. My doctor prescribed Adderall to take alongside my usual anti anxiety medication. The 20mg was too much…about died of constant thirst and had the jitters so bad that I could feel my hair growing! Cut the dose back to 10 mg and am a newly renewed lady. Multitasking and concentration are both a part of my reality again. Couldn’t be more pleased! Side effects have been minimal since my dosage has been reduced. Weight loss has been the primary side effect, but I needed to lose my extra pounds that had stubbornly accumulated over the years. Less body fat has served me by providing increased ease of mobility, the ability to resist alcoholic beverages entirely, and maintain an overall contentment in being the thin person like I was before the weight gain. Yes, Adderall has allowed me to resume my life and continue to pursue my dreams of becoming a historian of visual arts. Give it a go, let your body be the judge, and hopefully be renewed as I have been these last six months.Read More Read Less

better days adhead. thank you

I struggled through first to 12th grade. I went to college and was out in 4 months.Ten years later I tried adderall then XL and to make a long story short I graduated #1. It works if taken every day, and no side affects.

It works great but I’m on XR and they seem to only last for about 5 hours sometimes less but it’s better than my mind racing all day and feeling lost in a everlasting loop of thoughts.

It helps. I take it twice daily.

I hate it so much no matter how it dlayed release control it's crappy and not enough it should be re designed for extended release control

Ok...20mg works

I feel angry as hell it doesn't work it's a peace of crap don't get this stuff it is crap and it doesn't work anymore and it won't last long I hate it

I've been taking 15mg twice (Sometimes once a day as needed) prescription. It helps me with a lot of things, my attentiveness and focus of course, but also my anxiety and ability to socialize; I used to be a complete "wallflower" as they say, and a recluse. With the help of this medication I've overcome many of my mental illnesses. Now for the negative: I get center chest pains, I'm not entirely sure if it's caused by Adderall XR. However, the chest pain which comes and goes is typically a mild ache type irritant. On the other hand, I had a "freak" heart attack at the age of 24 due to two of my heart ventricles clotting 100% and 90%. I nearly died, they did a cardiac cath procedure through the the groin to poke out the clots. I made a full recovery. The doctor didn't even put in stents. This event was PRIOR to be being prescribed Adderall XR. They could not figure out the cause of the clots, as my blood had showed no proof of clotting disorder. I am no doctor but my guess would be it was caused by using hard street drugs for multiple years from about the ages of 15-20. But nobody including me will ever know for sure. I do get increased blood pressure, and heart rate, however, it almost always goes away as long as I become physically active. However, if I am sitting around lounging, or say... just driving around... I tend to notice not only the rise in blood pressure, the shakes, as well as the mild center chest pain. I would say I am worried about this causing me serious heart/cardiovascular complications, if it hasn't already. I do not know how serious center chest pain is, I've always heard it's the left arm you should worry about, which, aside from some nerve damage from the heart procedure (which I take Gabapentin for) which also preceded the Adderall prescription. Should I be worried? I feel like I can't truly live without being on Adderall, I don't ever over take my prescribed dose (no abusing.) However, I feel like it could be a risk to my heart healh. It's a bit of a catch-22. But I think I'd rather risk dying, than living as I used to. Which was essentially a life of nothingness, and uselessness. At least now I can work, socialize, pay attention/focus. I'm afraid to tell my doctor, because I don't want to Adderall to be taken away. I am hoping someone here with some medical expertise can shine some light on my situation.Read More Read Less

Had it once and worked

adderall makes me less foggy, and allows me to focus on and maintain conversations better. not sure what i would have done without it! the side effects can be an issue though, expect your libido to go down

Cool meds, will recommend.

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

On it for 24 months now. Good for high level anxiety.

Was just perscribe and took my first 10mg dose this morning. My afternoon I was in the ER with elevated heart rate and blood pressure of 189/103. Won't be taking that again.

I can now find rest after using addy 20mg IR for close to six months. I will be thankful for my physician though now on retirement. I m so greatful as my anxiety has step down.
