Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): During school I struggled with learning, despite hard work I barely graduated. By the time I reached High School I wanted to give up. As an adult I experienced the same difficulties in employment. I became depressed, almost gave up. Fortunately I was tested for ADD. Diagnosis revealed severe ADD. Within an hour of taking first dosage, my brain seemed to turn on and function at it's optimum potential. I felt truly alert, focused and clear headed. I found I could complete tasks competently. With out Adderall I'm useless. Adderall has improved my focus ability and competency in every aspect of life. It's a battery for my brain. I am dependent on Adderall for full functioning capacity. My well being and livelihood is compromised with out this medicine.

Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) : I have found that as a 8 year drug addict to painkillers I was able to focus on staying off my drug of choice by taking Adderall. I believe it has helped me stay clean and off all painkillers for 1 year now.

Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): When I was in my last year of college I started seeing a psychologist for depression. After 6 months she screened me for ADHD and started me on adderall. It was ok for a while but she upped my dosage to 40mg per day. That was too much for me so I quit taking it. I noticed the difference when I wasn't on it. I felt way less focused, tired, and my moods were worse. When I got a job with insurance after a year, I started taking it again. It has helped me tremendously! I only take 10mg per day now.

Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) for Narcolepsy: I love adderall, it's the best. It gives great energy, and doesn't let you get tired. Also, you don't feel the urge to eat everything when you are sad.

Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) for Narcolepsy: Aderrall has really helped me stay alert and concentrate, as I have chronic pain issues which leave me sleepy and unfocused. I have the energy to enjoy life again. I do have difficulty sleeping, and also since I do not take XR can "crush" it if I forget my second dose. I have noticed it makes me most irritable and difficult to be around. This side effect seems to have waned over time, but I am still occasionally cranky when it wears off.

Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) : dealing with what was becoming an addiction to methanphetamine, i tried adderall to try and slowly 'wein' myself off of meth. i found that it actually worked, i enjoyed the way it made me work on projects, & etc. AND, it was safer than meth, which is cut with uknown chemicals! BUT..adderall itself became an addiction for me. i suddenly preffered it. i began developing a high tolerance and constant desire 2do it! did it @work, NOT a good idea. n the end: NOT A FIX-a new, safer, problem.

Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): I have ADHD and have been taking Adderall for 5 years now. I take 30mg in the morning and sometimes a 10mg in the afternoon. It helps me to focus in school and get better grades. I have gotten to the point where I will not even go to school without it.

Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): I have been taking Adderal for 2 years now (3 of the 30mg tablets a day). It's a great way to get your work done in school and anything else you may need motivation to do. It also makes me more social and interesed in things I wouldn't normally be interested in.
The bad thing about it is that if you go even one day without it you eat 3 times more than you usually would and you feel irritable and agitated.
overall- coudlnt live without it

Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) for Narcolepsy: My stomach couldn't handle the normal adderall so I tried adderall XR. It took a while for me to really enjoy the medication but with combination of cymbalta I don't have real up's and downs. I take 90mg, I am a muscular 255 pound male. I would recommend adderall, side effects, dependancy, dry mouth, less hunger until you come down at night.

Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): I have taken 20 mg of Adderall coupled with 50 mg of Zoloft for the past year. They work really well together. Adderall helps me focus and Zoloft treats any mood swings or depressed feelings. It really is a good combination for ADHD, ADD, or OCD.

Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Against the advice of my teachers, my mom decided not to medicate me as a kid since my grades were fine. As I got older, I got worse, concentrating was impossible for me and my grades dropped... my mind never stopped! I have been on Adderall for almost 9 years now. This drug saved me, it worked great! The down side...after this long, I have built a tolerance, get very irritable, and feel kinda foggy or dazed by the end of the day. I'm going to try something new for awhile and see what happens.

Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) for Narcolepsy: For extreme fatigue I have taken Adderall 10mg a day for 6 month with occasional missing a day. It gives me great energy, negates my fatigue and seams to asuages a slight depression.

Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Adderall (amphetamine and dextroamphetamine) immediate release has greatly (95%) improved my symptoms of ADHD including concentration, focus, memory, attention span, retention of imformation, and to some extent my energy and grades. It's a very strong stimulant so it does have temporary side effects, most will go away in two-four weeks like euphoria, anxiety, and teeth grinding but the dry mouth and insomnia if taken late will not subside for months, but it has helped me A LOT.
