For ADHD "I just recently had to switch doctors because I moved states. Well, she switched my meds. I was on Adderall XR. It worked really well for me, but she insisted this new medication would be much better. I have now been on Adzenys for one week, and I’m miserable. I have a migraine-like headache, and I haven’t slept more than 3 hours at a time. I will be putting in a call tomorrow for my old Adderall."

For ADHD "I was very disappointed with varying generics of Adderall XR for my combined ADHD. Brand was better but caused some side effects. Adzenys ODT is a million times better than either. I think my body doesn't respond well to amphetamine salts (Adderall) but does to amphetamine base (Adzenys). Or maybe some of the inactive ingredients that are artificial sweeteners in Adderall (aspartame, for example) are reacting badly; I know I can't eat or drink any foods with aspartame or saccharin without getting headaches and low blood sugar, but this would still not explain why the active amphetamine in Adzenys works so much better for me, so I'm going to have to go with the salt vs. base hypothesis. Adzenys doesn't make me sleepy like Adderall XR/IR, feels cleaner and smoother, works better for ADHD symptoms like impatience, impulsivity, procrastination, avolition, and task initiation and completion. I just wish there was an Adzenys IR."

For ADHD "Adderall XR became less effective, so the doctor wanted me to try Adzenys XR 15.7. I do not like it. Terrible headaches right after I take it, then I get nauseated. Even though the Adderall XR has become less effective, at least it gives me some concentration without side effects. Also, I hate the blister pack it comes in, and it tastes terrible with a gritty bad aftertaste."
