User Reviews for Adderall XR

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I can't function without it. I'm 20 years old and it turned my life around, the only thing was it gave me heart palpitations but its easily curable with a lower dose. I was taking 20 mg. I'm going to try it 10 mg. Too much makes you stay up for ages.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I was always been a gifted student, but struggled to pick anything up in class. My entire life I would go to class and walk out gaining nothing but a couple good day-dreams. I thought I had ADD a very long time ago and asked my mom to have me checked; but being the proud mom she was her son couldn't have ADD. This year I started college and the same trend of gaining nothing from lectures remained. I was sick of putting in the effort to go to class and getting nothing from it. I was diagnosed last November and tried a few medications prior to Adderall XR. This medication changed my college career, I can now go to class and follow my professor through the entire lecture. I no longer need to reread everything to understand it.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: Adderall XR has changed my life. For years, I have struggled with depression and just not feeling well. I happened across an article on Adult ADD and recognized the symptoms. I talked to my doctor and went off Effexor XR and then began taking Adderall XR. Before, I has lost focus by 11 a.m. and didn't even know where to begin on projects for work. Everything just seemed to be too difficult to do. I couldn't make it through the day without a long nap. I feel great, am actually enjoying my work, and don't need naps anymore. Always take it first thing in the morning; otherwise, it will interfere with sleep.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I was diagnosed with ADD about 5 years ago; a year later, I started taking a Concerta for 2-3 months; it gave me headaches and didn't help. Hearing good things about Adderall I tried it and wow it was like magic. I felt awesome, I could actually think and focus, and everything was great with not-so-terrible side-effects. The thing with Adderall for me was that I constantly had to change doses (I tried XR 10, 20, 30 and reg 5,10). I jumped all over the spectrum, because my biggest side effect was it affected my sleep and I was soon diagnosed with moderate obstructive sleep apnea; may not be correlated but it exploited this problem. After roughly 3.5 years the side-effects have increased and it doesn't help much. Looking into Desoxyn and Dexedrine.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I started taking Adderall a few months ago. It has really helped me at work and home. At work I sit at a desk, work on a computer and talk on the phone. I have many things going on at once and Adderall has helped me focus and gives me the energy that I need. Sitting at a desk and staring at a computer can make you tired. Also, it gives me focus on the many tasks I am doing at once. After work I go home to a wife and a 20 month old, full of energy and active child. My wife works as well, so we are both tired when we get home. After work, there is still a lot of work to be done. With the child, household work and yard work. Overall Adderall is working well. Only draw back is if I take to late in the day, it is hard to fall asleep a night.

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 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 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.

Only side effects I am experiencing are dry mouth and mild headaches.

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 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.

Absolutely recommend to others and parents.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I love Adderall. I'm 38 years old and a very accomplished and successful person. I started taking Adderall this year and it has done wonders for my productivity. It makes me sad that I hadn't discovered it earlier in my life. To think what I could have accomplished. Like a lot of people I start 10 things and finish none. Adderall helps me stay on task. It's like responsibility in a pill.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I am a 54 year old male just diagnosed. I have been a successful overachiever all my life.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I used to take a high dosage time release tablet of another drug. If I took it when I woke up, say 8 o'clock, I would inevitably go through an anxious and depressing period everyday around 5pm. My psychiatrist prescribed me Adderall Xr and Adderall to see if I wouldn't go through this down period. I am so much happier now. Adderall permits me to be focused, less impulsive, and organized while lessening up the side effects, which I got with the other drug. I have an appetite, but am not an impulsive eater.

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD: I am in my 30's and have been taking Adderall XR for three months. Seriously what a difference I have seen in my life! My mind is 100% more clear and I am so much more level headed and organized. I wish I had gone to the doctor years ago for my ADHD, instead of just living with it. Now I am so happy to have the ability to control my thoughts and accomplish my goals. I occasionally get insomnia, but I have had insomnia for most of my life. I also have lost weight and didn't have much to lose, so I have to start eating even if I'm not hungry. No other side effects for me.
