After trying a few different similar drugs I found that this worked best. With others I lost weight and felt sickly 24/7 (sick to my stomach, weak, lightheaded, dry mouth, just generally terrible).

After trying a few different similar drugs I found that this worked best. With others I lost weight and felt sickly 24/7 (sick to my stomach, weak, lightheaded, dry mouth, just generally terrible). I started taking Adderall, initially in a VERY small dose and I noticed significant improvement. My doctor and I played with the dosage and I'm so happy with the result. The ONLY set back is feeling jittery every now and again. The best solution for that is just to make sure you're eating an appropriate amount. Not tons, but just spread out small meals and snacks and this won't pose a problem. Eating this way is way more healthy anyways. So now I can focus and feel very optimistic about getting things done everyday instead of dreading everything and having no energy, will or attention to finish things (school work). Great drug. I was very nervous to start taking it because I normally refuse all medicine... but this REALLY helped. Just be careful with dosage and eating.

I am ADHD and currently taking Strattera and I have to say with Adderall, I feel great and can focus much more and with Strattera, I am sick to my stomach everyday and my attention span still sucks. For severe cases of ADHD, like myself, choose Adderall over Strattera.

I've been taking adderall for six years now, and I feel that without it I am far less likely to succeed. This medication has helped me tremedously in Middle and High school, as well as now in college.

I can concentrate and finish school work. Ritalin didnt work but this makes me actually function like I should. (Words of my 16 y.o. son with ADHD-Adderall means the difference between "A"s and "F"s for Him. Affects appetite and sleep minimally.

My son in law has become a different person while on adderall. He is now hostile and violent hears things that are not there has become paranoid and driven. He is arrogant and actually has manic episodes- This was one of the nicest people I have ever known and this is a real tragedy. He is frightening and although he is under the treatment of a psychiatrist he is worse than before he went to this psychiatrist who prescribes and analyzes his childhood but does not deal with the present behavior. I am at a loss and fear for him and his family with small children
