I still feel a little shame when I take this drug (I'm not one to even take aspirin!) but on behalf of my family and how much better I function on it - I take it. 5mg is plenty and I wouldn't suggest any more. It is just enough energy for me to get started on my daily tasks and actually complete some! As a result I am less overwhelmed (and paralyzed!) and feel much more competent and confident ...

It was helpful in the beginning with school and sport productivity, but that only lasted a year. I founded a new talent, art, which I went to college for one year. I never was interested in art before. It made me very impulsive, and obsessive. I would find myself picking at my skin for almost the whole day. Also, it made me late to work in the later years because I took too long doing make up...

I’m going to keep this short and sweet Ive been on aderall since a teenager and in 2022 Sandoz and Airbindo are the only 2 brands that work with me. Every other brand I’ve tried has given me a list of negative side effects with no positive effects.

My son has severe A.D.D. And A.D.H.D. He takes this in 10mg form. As an afternoon “as needed” basis. In addition to his daily 30mg Extended release. I have found out very quickly by his response. That certain brand names don’t work at all for him. Although they’re supposed to have the same ingredients. With the 30mg E.R. Capsules. The RHODES Brand does not work at all! With the 10mg. The TEVA Brand doesn’t work near as well as LANNETT. To the point where we request to not get those brands. I wondered if anybody else has this problem? With certain brands not working. Specifically these brands… Read More Read Less

Every other name brand or generic gives me horrible side affects. This has been the only one that helps me focus and doesnâ??t cause anything besides slight dry mouth. Down fall is that itâ??s hard to get now. I canâ??t find a pharmacy that fills it...

36 y\o female with Extreme ADHD with rapid speech, continual non-stop movement, hyperactivity, impulsivity, rapid thoughts, fidgeting and body twitching. 30mg instant release Adderal 2 times a day in past much more effective then current 20mg 2 times a day dose. (Had just recently gotten back on Adderal after a few years off of it) This medication changed my life in my 20's. It's as if I am finally normal and can function like everyone else. Incredible for those suffering with extreme ADHD that makes life dysfunctional. Higher doses are better for more severe cases. Do not take high doses for mild ADHD. It has the ability to causes extreme anxiety and speed effects for those who do not need it.Read More Read Less

to compare either the round pink crap or its copy only orange and round is laughable to even a one time use of the OVAL ORANGE!different manufactures the results speak for themselves.

This alleged generic of Adderall is closer to Vyvanse, NOT Shire's original formulation of Adderall. It's very irritating that the FDA irresponsibly allows generic manufs. an (80-120%) parameter of the original brand's formula. With some meds that may be fine... Since Adderall addresses neurotransmitters in the brain, the generics should be IDENTICAL ! -- Sandoz is the ONLY generic co. so far that maintains the quality control of original Adderall.

it's amazing when I am in class, studying, or working for a job. Otherwise, I'd prefer to be off of it. Don't get me wrong, it does wonders, but I feel more like myself without it.

It helps me to better focus my energy. If I take it too late in the day (or with caffeine) it interferes with sleep. I am also unable take it more than once a day because I can become irritable. Overall I definitely see a difference in my productivity and am very pleased with the results.

Overall, highly satisfied. I have tried other medications such as Ridallin, Provigil, Bontril, etc. But, Adderall (or generic) 20mg 3 x's a day has had least side effects, most affordable, and highest level of effectiveness. TIPS TO PREVENT TOLERANCE: (consult Dr. first) _ Switch to different RX for a couple months when effectiveness decreases _ Take a med. vacation for a few days. WARNING: Ensure you have nothing to accomplish for these days....you will sleep and eat ALOT!

It helps with focusing during school hours, reduces hyperactivity, able to be more attentive to others and, best of all, appear more "normal" so doing better interacting with peers.
