Started taking Adderall 5 years ago and it has worked incredibly well. I set the alarm for an hour before I need to be up and when the alarm goes off, I wake up just long enough to swallow the pill with a bunch of water then I go back to sleep. Without fail, I wake up almost exactly an hour later feeling awake and energetic. The energy continues throughout the day and wears off in time for me to fall asleep easily. Until the early evening I have very little appetite but if I decide I have to eat, it's not difficult and generally my appetite returns a bit once i start eating. I feel totally able to pay attention to my work, writing papers, reading textbooks, focusing in lectures which was impossible before Adderall or when I miss a dose. I took Ritalin for several months before switching to Adderall with no effect at all.

The side effects have been fairly harsh for me. My mouth is incredibly dry, my appetite is nearly non-existent, I am not as interested in things as I usually am (depression), I don't feel like being very social and talking to people, and it takes around 2 hours for me to fall asleep if conditions are not entirely favorable.

I needed this to help get me through exams. It helped alright. It helped me pull al-nights without feeling tired the next morning. I could work through the whole night in fact. However, it took a full 24 hours to get out of my system. Until then. no matter how badly my system craved sleep, I didn't feel tired and could not fall asleep. I felt really miserable. Without it, I wouldnt have dont well on my exams. But I would never take this unless I had to. It makes you feel funny. puts pressure on your head, and makes you stay awake. Overall, not fun to be on. A better schedule works much better. (I was on 20mg non xr).

I am 26 yeras old and have been on stimulant medication since the age of 4 for ADHD. I switched to the oral 20mg tablet Adderall when I was 18. Overall, it has been very effective.

However, the side effects as of late have been interfering with my job. 2 hours after taking the medication with food, I begin to hot flash and sweat a lot. I drink massive amounts of water to counter this, but then am left with having to urinate constantly. I also experience bad cotton mouth.
