Before taking Adderall, my thoughts were not organized and if I didn't write something down, I was not going to remember it. Since beginning it, my family and friends have noticed the organization in my thoughts and reasoning skills. As a college student, I had never had a teacher compliment my organization in a paper until I was medicated; I was so excited to see the comment on a paper I called m ... Show Full Comment

Since beginning it, my family and friends have noticed the organization in my thoughts and reasoning skills. As a college student, I had never had a teacher compliment my organization in a paper until I was medicated; I was so excited to see the comment on a paper I called my parents and nearly cried! Unfortunately I think I need to up my prescription as I am finding my mind wandering more throughout the day, but I am still anxious by the end of the day. I don't know what I would do without Adderall, but I just hope it continues helping like it did in the beginning!

I have had great results with this drug. I feel like a fog has lifted and I can get things done. I have lost a lot of weight (45+ pounds) since starting it. I'm just not hungry. I also have some difficulty with not sleeping, especially if I take it later in the day. I do have a tendency to manipulate that though so I can stay up and work on big projects. Overall, it's caused a huge improveme ... Show Full Comment

For nearly 2 years I took amphetamine salts ER (a generic) and it worked well. No issues with sleep...but, very easy to abuse...if I needed to get something done, could take late in the day and stay up all night. Advantageous at times but I got out of that mode very quick. Then about 3 weeks, it just quit working. I am tired most of the time and if I try to watch a video that I am interested in, a ... Show Full Comment

Then about 3 weeks, it just quit working. I am tired most of the time and if I try to watch a video that I am interested in, about 15 minutes and I have to go do something else. So this week we will shift to something different....but, it worked great for a long time. I was taking 60mg every morning....

With depression, the use of Adderall is just about the only med that lets me get out of bed.
