User Reviews for Amphetamine/dextroamphetamine

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I'm a mid 20s female who should have been on ADD medicines years ago, this is the only one I've tried so nothing to compare it to. Love Adderall because of the obvious side effects: take it in the morning and can get out of bed in 30 minutes without feeling the normal exhaustion I've felt my whole life first few hours of day, no appetite so in beginning weight loss and now weight maintenance, and energy throughout the day (until it wears off), almost like an extreme diet pill. Even though I have energy to run around and could get stuff done, seem to just run around aimlessly not doing anything with a point. I snap and have a temper that I never used to have.

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: Changed my life.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: Adderall is overall a good ADD medicine. The only side effects I get are insomnia and weight loss but it really does work for school.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I just recently started taking Adderall XR and even though my doctor and I are still trying to find the right dose I have already noticed a major difference. Since I've started taking it I've been able to get lost in books for the first time because I can actually focus without having to make myself. I have noticed a decrease in appetite but it seems more like a newly developed aversion to high calorie foods and I'm wondering if that's not because of the added stimulation from the carbohydrates. Either way I think it's important for everyone to remember there is no magic pill and in order to get the best results you have to change your lifestyle too. Like making sure to get 8 hours of sleep and eat foods high in fiber and cut back on sugar.

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for Narcolepsy: This may be a little long so I hope you took your medicines today, LOL. this is my 3rd month on Adderall and it is absolutely a miracle drug for me. I have suffered with extreme fatigue and excessive sleepiness since I was a teenager, I'm 38 now. My doctors have tried me on everything from sleeping pills, to antidepressants, nothing worked. A friend suggested Adderall, I researched it, talked to my doctor about it and we tried Provigil first, which did help, but I was still falling asleep driving, reading, etc. Switched to Adderall. I was so happy I nearly cried when I was telling my doctor how much better I feel. I wish I would have tried this years ago.

amphetamine / dextroamphetamine for ADHD: Adderall has been extremely effective in treating my inability to concentrate. It has also proven effective to some degree as an antidepressant. Another reason I really like it is the minimal side effects/withdrawal I get when I stop taking it abruptly after long periods of daily use. It has been a very effective, yet forgiving drug in my experience.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: Adderall was a great drug for my ADD. It didn't make me lose my appetite at all, it didn't make me moody, it didn't give me any crashes, it helped me focus really well. But it did give me bad acne which is why I ended up stopping it and now I am looking for another drug to replace it. This annoyed me because it was the perfect medication for me but I will take a drug that doesn't work as good for a clear face any day.

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I take Adderall for ADHD, simply put my GPA in college has literally doubled to 3.5, school is easy now. This medicine is like night and day. I'm glad it only lasts for a certain time 6-8 hours. I have zero appetite on the medicine and lost 15 lbs in two weeks when I started these pills. Aggression is increased. Adderall is amazing. Listen to your doctor and do not take more than you are supposed to.

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I have been off and on this drug since age 17. My advice if you take it and it works, take it as directed. I'm a recovering alcoholic and I take it now as directed.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for Narcolepsy: Works wonders for me. I still occasionally have some daytime sleepiness, which I can handle with a quick 5 minute nap, but it has gotten rid of the Cataplexy. I really had a problem with symptoms of cataplexy. If I laughed, got mad, or was emotional in any way, I would end up on the floor. I rarely have any of these symptoms now, which is a miracle for me. I do have two side effects, one is that I can become pretty irritable and the second is that I get a bit more aroused.

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I was taking Adderall for nearly 3 years, when my insurance would no longer cover it. I started taking it when I enrolled into college. It helped me achieve the honor roll every term I was taking it. I felt more confident and focused, whereas in high school I was unable to do such tasks and received D's and F's. I wish that I was taking Adderall again. I've taken Ritalin, Methaline and now Dexedrine which doesn't compare to Adderall. I have been taking this for 6 months now, and I am no longer on the honor roll. No matter how hard I try, my focus isn't where I need it to be. On the other hand, I don't have the side effects of severe irritability or quick anger that Adderall tends to cause.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I take 60mg of Adderall XR daily and it helps me focus and concentrate.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I started taking Adderall XR 12 days ago and I love it. I immediately started focusing better. I now feel great when I wake up knowing that I will be able to get things done that have been put off for so long. My memory and self esteem have improved dramatically. Only side effects I am experiencing are dry mouth and mild headaches.

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I was prescribed this medicine when I was a young child for ADHD. I took it all the way though my high school years until I decided I didn't need it. I backed this theory by saying "It made me feel funny and zone out". I stopped taking it and since then I dropped out of school, picked up a drug problem and have been in and out of jail. I know I can't blame this on not taking medicine but I do know I didn't do any of that stuff when I was taking it. I was a pretty good kid. I recently got my G.E.D and am going to be attending college in the fall. I am actually trying to get back on this medicine so I can stay focused. I am excited to see whats in store in the future. But what I am really trying to say this drug works wonders.

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I have ADHD and this medication helps with everyday life. I can focus on what I'm doing. The only real problem I have with this medication is the fact that it affects how I treat others. In other words I get agitated a lot faster. I don't want to be angry and before I took this medication I would always turn the other cheek, but now unfortunately I get real angry really fast.

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I have Bipolar disorder and have ADD (not ADHD) for which I was on Ritalin (methylphenidate). My doctor switched me to Adderall because my concentration seemed to be waning again, but I don't believe it is working as well. Concentration is about the same, but it seems I am experiencing a lot more anxiety now than I did with the Ritalin.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I was diagnosed with ADHD 6 years ago by my family physician. She put me on Effexor, which seemed to help at first, but over the next year, the side effects were not worth the results. Another doctor recently prescribed Adderall and when that worked well, he gave Adderall XR. I am so much more centered, can concentrate, and my quality of life is so much better. I hate that it is thought of as a "street drug" and I hate that the price is so high. The generic did nothing for me except to make me agitated/jittery for few hours, then crashed and had a headache.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: It helps keep me calm and focused at work. I do suffer insomnia if I don't take my daily dose consistently. I tried to stop taking it and my metabolism took a severe nose dive even though I never had weight problems before. I did lose about ten pounds when I started taking it but it leveled off and I was able to maintain a healthy weight. I would have liked to try a more natural approach to managing my ADD but the weight gain has added depression and therefore I'm back on it.

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I had clinical depression/anxiety for years. Worsened terribly after having 1st baby at 33. I was extremely fatigued, couldn't start or finish easy tasks, totally overwhelmed, cried constantly - major post-partum depression. Was prescribed Adderall, Wellbutrin and Zoloft. Been on all 3 for 1 year and am a completely new person. Adderall doesn't exacerbate my anxiety; in fact, I am less anxious because I can concentrate and don't feel exhausted, inadequate and unhappy. Might not work for all, but this combination is perfect for me. Upped blood pressure a bit, but still in normal range and monitored. Use with care with dose at start. I cut pills and take a bit at a time, always in the morning and only when needed during the rest of the day and never more than prescribed. I feel this lessens risk of dependency.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: Great when combined with Adderall (immediate release). I stay focused and organized, have consistent energy, and even speak more professionally at work. Con: Tightness in chest/anxiety on doses higher than 5mg. I seem to be highly sensitive to the XR, so I take 5mg three times a day with Adderall (immediate release) 10mg.

amphetamine / dextroamphetamine for ADHD: Helps me sustain attention and have consistent energy levels (especially when combined with Adderall XR). I'm motivated, not elated, high or hyper on a dose of 10mg. Con: Short-lasting.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I love Adderall XR. It helps me get through the day and make the best of everyday.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I am a 23 year old male 175lbs, on Adderall 20mg XR. Great tool. Motivation and self-esteem awesome boost. Focused and better moods. Persistent anxiety lessened. Some grogginess but manageable so long as you eat appropriately. Minor loss of appetite. Been on Strattera and Lexapro in past, no comparability to Adderall XR! Absolutely recommend to others and parents.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: Not much side effects, just see imprint of things, when upping the dosage. Feel drugged, like it's releasing chemicals in the brain, have quick 1 second pain in leg throughout the day now and again. Helps somewhat with ADHD.

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I took this medicine for ADD when I was eleven. I'd had some slight muscle tics before that and the doctor warned me and my parents that Adderall could make those worse, but at the time I wasn't too worried about it. That was a mistake. The tics got far worse, to the point that once I passed out because it made it difficult for me to breath. One doctor said it was OCD, and another said it might be Tourette's, and another thought it was the medicine. All I know is I've stopped taking it and they've mostly gone away, though they still come back every once in a while when I'm tired. I'm not sure if Adderall would have helped my "ADD"; I didn't take it long enough. I've since managed to get it together and improve my grades without any medication.
