User Reviews for Adderall oral

Adderall works well for me depending on availability of a quality manufacturer. This does make all the difference when taken as prescribed. Once the proper dose has been achieved stick to it. At first dose 30mg twice a day, now I find 20 mg three daily works better for me. A lower dose three times daily works better for now. Finding the right dose, plenty of water, food and sleep is very helpful.

Adderal is legal dope. For those of you that are addicts it’s nearly impossible not to abuse it. I’m 45 years old and have been prescribed adderal for the last 5 months. Taken as prescribed it’s truly a magical substance. However, as an previous addict myself I struggle to follow the doctors directions and instead get really high. So, intelligently, I have my wife hold the prescription and give me my daily dose. This has worked well and the results have been very helpful. I’ve done a lot of stimulants in my life and always wondered if it’d be possible to be a daily user but actually manage the dose. And thus get the more beneficial side of stimulants and not the harsh comedowns. And the medical community has figured out how to do that. Adderal for ADHD symptoms is truly remarkable. Taken responsibility and with intention this substance can bring a ton of benefit, mostly for those of us who are older who really struggle with day-dreaming or lack of focus. Keep the dose small and use the medication with intention. It will help those who respect it.Read More Read Less

This medication is allowed me to overcome Severe ADHD and LIVE MY LIFE successfully since I started taking it in1997.

Unfortunately I was put on this medication for my ADD as a kid, thankfully never got addicted to it, however I experienced some pretty severe bad reactions to it, essentially it caused me to get extremely violent when I took it, to the point where I actually ended up getting pushed down the stairs by my dad, and in return I basically pinned him against the door and punched him multiple times when I finally snapped, all this medication gave me in return was severe PTSD and unnecessary distress and trauma, this medication should absolutely NOT EVER BE PRESCRIBED TO CHILDREN, not only does it have an extremely high probability of causing addiction, but it also can cause severe and downright dangerous or even deadly mental changes in both personality and psychological state, -1000000/10 never EVER will try again or even recommend it to anyone due to how badly my body and mind reacted to itRead More Read Less

In Nov 2022 I was prescribed Adderall 30mg 2x daily. - IT DESTROYED MY BODY! - I did that for 2-3 days before I called my doctor and cried. I ended changing to 30mg 1x daily. The daytime effects were magical! Absolutely amazing!!! BUT the wear off and side effects were terrible. I had the “talk to your doctor asap” kind of side effects. - numbing fingers and toes, stomach pain, severe dizziness, stiff muscles, extreme insomnia…. — I pushed as long as I could because during the day for 6 hours I was like super woman! I could do anything!!! — but it wasn’t worth the physical and psychological pain. :( due to the increased side effects, I was having an increase in depression and anxiety. Plus 2-3 hours of sleep nightly. (I actually started having sleep deprived hallucinations). Needless to say we had to go back to the drawing board. Read More Read Less

I started Adderall about a year ago, and although it instantly made me concentrate and focus almost too much I had extreme anxiety panic attacks, and it made me depressed. I not only got addicted to it, but eventually it made me suicidal. This med was not for me. I’m not saying that everyone shouldn’t try it because obviously it affects people differently, but be careful on this.

I had normal brain function until I got assaulted and robbed in1994. I was hit with a tire tool in my neck resulting in a C-5& C6 fracture causing ADD. I never had a problem with it before then. I was originally prescribed dextroamphetamine and then methamphetamine, then I was prescribed Adderall. Adderall is by far the best one of all. The methamphetamine was the worst. I am now 64 years old and I have been taking Adderall ever since it came out. It's by far the best medication for my ADD and I highly recommend it. If you suspect someone of having ADHD please try to talk to them about getting help because their quality of life will be greatly improved. Read More Read Less

I am 62 years old and began taking 20 mg 2 months ago after my physician sent me to be evaluated for ADHD. This diagnosis was very surprising since I always related it to children. Anyway, it sure does explain a lot of issues l have had throughout my life. My only regret is that I didn’t speak up sooner to let my physician know about how difficult it is for me to stay on track, to focus in on a conversation without drifting, actively listening and retaining what was said. My life has improved significantly. Read More Read Less

My psychiatrist prescribed adderall to me about a year ago, I was pretty steadfast in my decision to not take it and made her well aware of that. I did end up giving it a try and I have to say, it was a fantastic decision. All areas of my life have improved. I was truly expecting to feel high, on edge and not myself when I took it but what I felt was clarity, calmness and all around a better mental state. It also inadvertently solved my binge eating habits. This is my personal experience and not the same for everyone. Take it as prescribed and communicate to your Doctor! Don’t let the stigma that this medication has deter you, let that be between your personal experience and what your doctor recommends. The only negative side effects I’ve had myself is ED and coldness in my limbs, which was quelled after I lost weight and lowered my blood pressure. Maintaining a healthy sleep pattern and diet are critical to how effective the medication is in my experience. In conclusion, I had to swallow my pride and trust my doctor despite my feelings and I’m happy that I didRead More Read Less

I have spent my whole life feeling tired and fatigued and they thought it was my thyroid but then I started taking medication for that and it only made me feel more tired! I work out seven days a week to stay in shape but I have a hard time concentrating by late morning. Then I had Covid for 18 days and I never felt so bad in my life. Then one of the nurses told me that I will experience 6 to 8 months of fatigue! So I finally went to the doctor because I was feeling so depressed that this was my life now. Tired all the time and trying to be a leader. After several attempts of trying to deal with the fatigue I finally asked about Adderall. It is really helping me to concentrate. People worry about addiction but let’s be honest we are an addictive culture! We’re addicted to pretty much everything! Coffee, streaming, our phones Need I go on? We have so many irons in the fire and we do it to ourselves! The bottom line is I want to be able to listen to people when they are hurting or need counsel and I will be able to concentrate and listen to them fully. I also take a brain supplement as well. I’m still trying to figure out The proper dose for me. I used to try and handle things using caffeine caps but there’s always a heavy crash. Adderall does not crash but I have to say it doesn’t last very long (4 hours) but it gets me through the day. I do get occasional headaches and dry mouth. But it is nice to be working in the afternoon and not feel like I have to take a 2-hour nap! Read More Read Less

I have mixed results with Adderal, I really feel theirs a differance between manufactures. I have been greatly helped by this medication but not helped by the generic version produced by Camber. i am reading up because of this poor response, wanted to see if others had the same results.

I cant help write again about this dangerous drug.Did anyone ever think it is made to tast like candy for a reason along with its orange color?Drus are supposed to help your condition.I recall not long ago calling sevral Drug Stores as so many was "out of stock".Now you need your Drivers License and are put in a Database so you dont "Doctor Shop" this is due to BigPharma's Opiod Crisis.Im 64 and have lived on Opiods since a Car Accident when I was 14 from Codeine,Fentenyl Patch and now Hysingla which is Morphine.I was always Prescribed it as I live in Chronic Pain,Adderall is just one more and should be taken off the market as there are newer Meds to battle ADD,ADHD,TBI,etcRead More Read Less

Adderall 20mg was Prescribed for me along with Modafinal,another Stimulant originally designed for French Airline Pilots to keep them awake for long Flights.I have Traumatic Brain Injury caused In the Line of Duty of being a Corrections Officer among living in Chronic Pain from Spinal Cord Injuries etc.It can be a very dangerous drug,Ive experienced extreme shortness of breath,fainting,dizziness upon standing and severe depression.I've not used BOTH in the same day for several years as I can hear my Heart Beating and can hardly breath especially now that its humid in So Florida.Its a Hate/Love situation as I live with chronic lethargy,daytime sleepiness and chronic fatigue it does help but at what cost?Im sticking to the Modafinal 20mg BID as the side effects are near none vs Adderall's laundry list.Read More Read Less

My young son has textbook ADHD. For several years I avoided medicating him, despite struggles in school, because doing so scared me. After a ton of research, and absolutely hating the side effect profile of a lot of the "newer" ADHD meds, I went with a tried and true classic -- adderal. It has been a great experience thus far. His performance in school abruptly turned around, and he both pays attention and is motivated to do his work. This also solved the behavioral problems he had, where he would sometimes disrupt the class due to his inability to sit still or stay on task. He became a great student, and has an almost perfect report card this year. He only has one side effect, which is the loss of appetite. This was expected, as I read that it occurs to almost everyone who takes the medication. We give him one pill in the morning, and that's it. This way his appetite returns around 3:30pm, shortly after school. He still doesn't eat lunch, but at least he has a normal appetite for the remainder of the day, and seems to eat more to make up for the lack of food at lunch. The great thing about adderal is that the appetite suppression is the ONLY common side effect. If you take a look at the rest of the ADHD meds, you will see all kinds of common and semi-common side effects which will scare you to death, especially if you're giving it to your kid. I didn't want my son becoming an emotionless robot, having graphic nightmares, or suffering physical effects. I simply wanted to improve his ADHD situation during school, with the fewest possible side effects. Adderal accomplished that, and it has decades of history and studies behind it. Sometimes newer isn't better. This is one of those cases. My son does not take adderal on days he's not in school. He takes one low-dose pill in the morning, and it transforms him from an ADHD kid into a child who can work to his actual potential. I'm thrilled with my decision.Read More Read Less

All throughout school i could never focus, any time someone would even click a pen during a test i wasn’t able to concentrate on that test for the rest of the class period.. i ended up almost failing out of highschool but 3 years later i started taking adderal for my ADD about 7 months ago.. i was first prescribed 10mg XR but a month later i moved up to 20mg because the affects were wearing off too fast.. 2 months ago my dr prescribed me 10mg IR along with the 20mg XR because it was wearing off so fast and barely working for me to the point where i was taking 3-4 20mg XR a day.. I can’t take this medicine everyday anymore because it wears off way too fast even with the IR along with the XR to the point where i’m having to take 60-70mg a day in total. My personality is different in the worst way.. i noticed i talk way too much and i get irritated very quickly when it’s wearing off and even days where i don’t take it when i was never known to be a moody person.. id have to say the worst side effect ive gotten and still get from this drug is the extreme case of dry mouth that causes sores on the sides of my tongue that are extremely painful and when i end up taking it for 4 or more days in a row my tongue feels like it’s dying.. extreme redness at the tip of it and i don’t even really know how to explain what happens to my taste buds they like… pop up on my tongue and are extremely painful but i’m afraid if i stop taking this medication no other one will work for me because it has also helped my social anxiety and has given me a work ethic.However i do miss how much better this medication worked for me in the beginning… no side affects and was working more than 60 hours a week and was able to sleep at night no problem.. i can’t sleep anymore.

I'm prescribed this medication for an off label purpose. In 2003 I had a severe brain injury that resulted in damaged short term memory. Since then I have struggled with focus and concentration (largely because I forget what I'm doing while I'm doing it, or I get distracted and my hamster falls off the wheel) I take 20mg daily with my other morning meds.. it helps me focus and actually complete tasks rather than just starting 50 things. I took a break from it for a couple years because it was causing very serious dry eye (in conjunction with my work environment) .. but now I use eye drops, whether I need them or not and I've had no issues this time around. For my condition this probably isn't the first drug a doctor would go to but after a decade of trial and error, my doctor and I aren't strangers to trying something off label, just to see, who knows it might work!! This is one of the successful attempts we've made... no complaints!Read More Read Less

I’ve been on adder all since I was in kindergarten and now I am in 12th grade. The medicine works don’t get me wrong but it makes me feel like a child in a paranormal movie sitting in the corner rocking back and forth scratching my head. It makes me depressed now that I’m older I cannot make this up! I hate taking it but it’s effective.

I am a 56 yr female going thru late onset menopause. I am ADD and was diagnosed by two psychiatrists. It was hard for me to believe but now that I have learned about it they were right...I wasn't paying attention I guess In the past 15 years I've tried Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta and now Vyvanse. Extended release and regular. Up until last year, Adderall plain tablets were my favorite. The extended release made me stay awake. I dont feel like superwoman on Adderall but I feel better. A bit calmer, a bit more capable. I do get dry mouth and I forget to eat. It did increase my blood pressure quite a bit. I don't know why, I suspect my hormones changed, but now vyvanse works better for me. Adderall doesn't have to be taken everyday. I liked that. Vyvanse has to be taken everyday. If you are going thru menopause try vyvanse if Adderall stops working. Adderall is much cheaper.Read More Read Less

I was diagnosed as ADHD in 4th grade and prescribed Ritalin, 6th grade they saw it wasn't working and they prescribed me Adderall 2 pills in the morning 2 pills by lunch I went from to energetic to sleep in every class... But because i had to urinate all the time after i started the medicine some time I'd be so sleep I'd dream i was in a restroom urinating and the warm sensation of peeing on myself would wake me up to a class room of embarrassment. My throat muscles stopped working so i couldn't eat breakfast lunch or after school only intake liquid (parents cook and don't understand that i literally couldn't swallow my food, whooped or screamed wasting food {but i would be hungry}). From time to time i would stand up and everything would look like a frying TV channel (Black white and gray dots is all i would see scared i was going blind, still happens now). I would get random rashes that would start looking like a ant bite and spread till it vanised i thought it was something wrong with me so i separated my self fell deep into depression until i dropped out of school 2007 and stopped taking the medicine. After about 6 years those rashes slowed down still stuggle eating socially awkward (don't know how to handle socializing at work) still have to urinate every 20-30 min (interferes with my jobs to many breaks) i was a kid whos school had my mom put me on the medicine i didn't pay for it but i was a kid effected by the medicine and the #LABEL of ADHD and the #Process of #ADHD Lester TaylorRead More Read Less
