| 1 | ADD | This drug should be illegal. It feels on top of the world the first few times you use it and then damages your brain for life. Look up amphetamine neurotoxicity if you don’t believe me. Permanent brain damage, Caused me permanent parkinsons disease Permanent destruction of my prefrontal cortex and dopamine neurons PET imaging has confirmed the damage to my dopamine reward system and my brain. Lost my girlfriend and all friends. Became permanently aggressive violent agitated and extremely irritable. Lost ability to enjoy music or feel ANY emotions. Used to laugh all the time now my eyes look Dead and my whole face looks completely different. I have no personality anymore I am dead inside since taking this neurotoxin for only two months. I will make it my life goal to get this poison banned. Giving speed, a potent neurotoxin, to children is criminal. The psychopathic kriminals at the FDA will pay one day for the tens of millions of lives they have ruined. | Dont take this neurotoxic poison! Type in "amphetamine: a single dose model of parkinsons disease" on google and run out the door of any doctor who tries to prescribe you this! | M | 25 | 3 months 70 | 4/30/2017 | 1 | Adult ADD, anxiety | dizziness, diarrhea, nervousness, anxiety, excess energy, stomach upset, and belching | I have family members and friends who take Adderall. They are doing so well. Their houses are clean, they are succeeding in their work, and in life in general. They look amazing. Since ADD runs in my family and I have always had issues with anxiety, I decided to try it, regrettably. The first couple of hours, I had diarrhea, stomach cramps, and nervousness. I cleaned the house and didn't need to sit and break. I just cleaned for hours and didn't stop. Once I did stop cleaning, I felt like hell. I was nervous, anxious, and nauseated. I am so thankful for this tired crash that I am experiencing now. I am really sad that I wasted $35 on them.. But I am thankful to be alive, as a few times during the day, I wondered if I was going to die. | F | 31 | 1 days 15 mg 1X day | 11/22/2015 | 1 | Adult ADD | MAJOR hair loss | F | 51 | 1 months 20 mg. 1X day | 9/20/2012 | 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 | 2 | Abuse | Mania, OCD-like symptoms, insomnia, loss of appetite (until it wore off, then I was ravenous), dissociation, increased anxiety and aggitation, restlessness | At first this drug was great (everything I wanted). Then I realized it was actually sucking the richness out of my life. I became so focused on work and cleaning and getting things "done" that my relationships suffered. And even though I didn't feel hungry, I'm sure my body was actually very hungry because I would feel the crashes at the end of the day and feel very ill and worn-down. On the plus side, my house was spotless. Oh well, I'd rather have a rich, full, beautiful life than live it like a manic zombie. | F | 6 weeks 60 MG 1X day | 10/19/2012 | 2 | Major Depression with anhedonia | Fast heartbeat | I was taking this due to my anhedonic symptoms of depression (lack of sex drive, apathy, feeling "empty" or zombielike, the inability to feel pleasure, no drive/motivation, etc.). All it did was raise my heartrate without any effect on my mood or emotion. Perhaps this was because of a cross tolerance to Ritalin which I was taking a week before? I took up to 15mg and my heart was pounding so hard it was uncomfortable and I felt light headed and felt tingly/numb at my extremities. Bad on the heart apparently. | 4 days 15mg 2X day | 9/16/2012 | 2 | ADHD | I sweat more, some increased anxiety but overall concentration and performance were enhanced. | I have been on this medication for a while and it has made a big difference in the quality of my life. However, my insurance will only cover generic if generic is available. The past two months I have been on the generic and it does not work as well. My concentration isn't as good, I am having increased difficulty completing tasks. Yesterday I experienced something strange...out of no where I got really hot and anxious. It was awful. Also the generic has caused me to become more depressed. I like adderall but not the generic. | F | 23 | 4 years 30 1X day | 1/3/2012 | 2 | adhd | erectile dysfunction,stomach discomfort,cold sweat, | side effects were enough for me to discontinue its use. however, i still might try out additional adhd medications, even though they might have similar ingredients.they may not be exactly the same. IM TRYING TO HANG LOOSE WITHOUT LOSING THE CABOOSE | M | 28 | 2 days 20mg 2X day | 12/20/2011 | 3 | ADD | I guess I feel the 2nd time the pill kicks in. Like a faster heart rate suddenly and a tad nauseous but other then that I'm ok. | I don't feel like XR 10 mg is enough for me. So far hasn't helped with my distractions. Going up to 15 in a couple days. | F | 59 | 30 days 1X day | 8/14/2021 | 3 | Prescribed | I’m going to be completely honest here. I feel as if I am compelled to, even if writing this post only helps one single person out there. I learned about askaptient.com while googling “How to not be annoying” at 2:00 a.m. I used to live a very “normal”, fulfilled life. I considered myself mentally strong. I liked myself, and people liked me. Then, college started, and I was blessed (and caught off guard) by the birth of my daughter. Working nights while a part of a prestigious medical program and raising a child while taking care of my own apartment felt impossible. I started taking adderall to help me focus on studying, help me to stay awake, and help me to get through this very trying time in my life. When I first started taking it, I was wonder women. I could do anything, and it would be immaculate. I got straight A’s had tons of energy to play with my daughter, and you could eat off the floor of my apartment it was so spotless. Fast forward five years. Adderall changed the way my brain and my thoughts (therefore my actions, the way people perceive me, and the way people act towards me) for the worse. It made me insecure (causing me terrible acne, and then an obsessive impulse to pick the breakouts.) I became to ashamed to look people in the face. My brain moved at light speed, while everybody else was in the normal lane. Adderall caused me to sweat profusely, and to act manic. I talked so fast, and said things before my brain could | 23 | 5 years 30 MG | 6/29/2019 | 3 | Can't focus, no motivation, hyper | I have tried two different kinds and I am now taking the 10 mg amphetamine salts??? Not sure why these are so different and why they make me feel so off but. In the past two days I've taken 30mg I weigh 98 lbs how long until this is flushed. I'm drinking plenty of water. I haven't taken anything in about 5 hours. | Please tell me when this will be out of my system, I feel too funny. | F | 33 | 2 days 30 mg | 5/24/2017 | 3 | ADHD | drymouth, insomnia, bad breath, reduced sexual performance, feeling like an emotionless robot | I've been trying to find an alternative to Adderall for many years now because I don't like all of the negative side-effects. | M | 31 | 17 years 30 MG 1X day | 3/8/2017 | 3 | ADHD; Later on: Anxiety | Possibly linked to Trichotillomania Loss of appetite for the brand name drug Crawling feeling at night/restless leg syndrome Severe vertigo spells Increased/Decreased sex drive/Erectile problems Dryness/Always needing to stay hydrated | I started taking Adderall in pill form at a early age. Off my meds, I become very hyper and over-talkative. I developed Trichotillomania (Hair pulling) possibly from the medicine. (Also had meningitis when I was 1 which could have caused it.) which progressed to Trichophagia.(Chewing on hair) As I got older, I was switched over to capsules. Nothing too bad until I was around 19-20 when started getting horrible vertigo spells a lot if I got up from sitting or lying down too quickly. It either cause about an 8 second rush of dizziness, or the worst, an almost seizure-like effect where, for about 8 seconds I lose control of my body (the dizziness is so intense; with barely enough time to catch myself from collapsing) and start trembling throughout my body. Dryness and sex drive issues aren't to bad. At night, I get so hungry. This seemed to have happened when I was switched over from brand to generic. Sleeping has always been a problem. Whenever I get close to sleeping, my body does something to jolt me back awake, like my body doesn't want me to sleep.(feels like something's crawling on me. Leg spasm, or even a jolt to my heart like the feeling your heart feels like after a nightmare.) I wish they would put more effort in finding a cure for ADHD/ADD. With cancer, all the mental disorders and other diseases are put on the back burner like we don't matter anymore. The pill may fix your problem but will cause other things to happen. But hey, you could always "take another pil | M | 25 | 18 years 30 1X day | 8/9/2015 | 3 | Narcolepsy | Dry mouth, excessive thirst for sweet drinks (have become a fruit juice addict), "burning up" feeling / fever almost all the time - that is one of the worst side effects I've experienced - very uncomfortable, flu-like symptoms - cold sweats, chills, body aches - this is the other set of symptoms I would say is the worst, teeth grinding, daily headaches - Excedrin Migraine is always at hand, developed tolerance to dose & decreased effectiveness from medication (skip days help though), weight loss when starting medication, annoyingly (majorly at times) talkative | Have to force yourself to eat when first starting this medication, I went from 110 lbs. to 97 lbs. which was very frightening as I didn't have the weight to lose, had many concerned friends & family wondering if I had developed an eating disorder, learned to eat before, in between, & after doses. Insanely effective when first began taking Adderall, could conquer the world (or so I thought), definitely OCD like tendencies (hyper focused, and excessively perfectionistic with any task (already had these tendencies & this was simply amplified to where I had to do everything because nobody else would do it "right", well as you can imagine, this becomes exhausting & impossible to maintain over time. Resulted in a lot of inner anxiety & distress. I now have trouble taking the few hours of energy & focus each day, and putting those toward the most important tasks - get hung up on mundane "organizational" tasks that cause more work for me than I had in the first place. Unfortunately, I cannot stay awake w/I this med (have literally slept for weeks at a time) so have no choice but to take it. Wish I didn't have to, but thankful for it. Double-edged sword. | F | 36 | 10 years 60 mg | 6/28/2015 | 3 | ADHD | Negative: significant increase in acne, caused painful cysts all around chin. Insomnia during the first week or so. Positive: Increase in productivity and attention span, 10-lb weight loss due to decreased appetite. | Much less side effects than Vyvanse. Vyvanse made me sweaty, irritable, and anxious. The Adderall's acne is the only thing that is bothersome, but I think the positives outweigh that side effect. | F | 21 | 2 months 20 MG 1X day | 9/20/2012 | 3 | ADD | Not dry mouth but insanely thirsty. All the water on earth couldb quench my thirst. I still have the same appetite as before but it seems to have blocked my cravings. That may lead to some weight loss in the future but it's only been two weeks. Sleep has not been a problem at all. Today actually I took my adderall at 9am and by noon I had to take an hour nap because I couldb keep my eyes opened. I do not notice much change with focus or concentration. I did notice two days ago when I took adderall that at around 7pm I guess maybe I was coming down from it and I didn't want to ve around anyone. I was antisocial and everything annoyed me. That has only happened once though. I think my dose may be too low or maybe I need a new medication but I am not fully satisfied with adderall XR so far. I'll stay on it until my dr. Appointment a couple months. | F | 21 | 2 weeks 20 mg | 8/22/2012 | 3 | ADHD | At first I loved this med, I lost weight and was full of energy! It did give me head aches often and increase my anxiety but not enough to make me stp taking it! After months went by I start swelling in my hands and face from my blood pressure then one morning I woke up and my lips were swollen so I called my doc and he told me not to take it any more so I have been off of it since then! I Feel like this med is ok for short term us as long as you are 100% healthy before starting it! | F | 30 | 4 months 10mg | 1/14/2012 | 3 | Add | When the XR wore off there seemed to be a crash. I was very irratable as this happened. I did find that consuming some caffiene during this time helped ease this stage. One major con to XR is the price, I had to switch to IR just to be able to afford it. This medication was life changing for me! It was nice to find a medication with few side effects that helped control my ADD symptoms. | F | 27 | 1 months 10mg | 12/13/2011 | 3 | Fatigue, Depression, ADHD | Anxiety, Weightloss, Headache | I finally had to stop taking Adderall because the anxiety crept up on me and incapacitated me. The first 4-5 months were great. Lots of energy, able to concentrate, but by month 6 I was having a hard time leaving the house my anxiety was so intense. I also lost about 20 pounds during this time because I wasn't hungry and was so energetic that I didn't make the time to eat. | F | 24 | 7 months 30mg 1X day | 10/5/2010 | 3 | adhd | Anxiety, Depression, loss of appetite, increased heart rate, trouble sleeping, feeling jittery a lot, made me feel like i had a lot of energy, yet made my appetite nearly disappear. | A great medicine for short term... I had to take Prozac to counteract the depression and mood swings which helped dramatically. One thing with me and this drug is I couln't skip days or dosages or I had severe mood swings. | F | 18 | 8 years 50mg 1X day | 9/28/2010 |
