Additional Thoughts
Well...my journey with adderall was a different one. I took the drug in my early college years, because I was diagnosed with ADD and told it would help. It helped at first, almost giving me a high which motivated me to do my work and I fell in love with the drug.

Side Effects
I'm an occasional closet smoker, and the adderall has made me want to smoke more- not sure why that is, but it seems like I'm not alone. I'm probably a little more irritable than I had been before.

Additional Thoughts
This has been terrific for me, and treatment for my ADD was long-overdue. However, I haven't had the sudden change that others seem to have experienced. I'm still having to struggle with starting tasks, and although I'm not paralyzed with distraction as much as I used to, I still have to fight it. Overall, the Adderall's helpful, but it's not like getting a cure for pneumounia, either.

Side Effects
Extreme anger, weight loss, chain-smoking, decreased libido, depression

Additional Thoughts
This drug was very effective in helping me concentrate but the side-effects were awful. I would snap for no reason and pushed my significant other away. I lost 25 lbs. and was unable to quit smoking...in fact I couldn't go an hour without a cigarette or I would start clenching my teeth and get very tense.

My sons kindergartn teacher came and said to me when kids really need this medication the change is like a miracle, and your son really needed this medication. I wanted to cry.

Brief euphoria when I first started taking it and hypersexuality. Both sx have since moderated.

Additional Thoughts
This drug completely changed ny life. I no longer feel constantly irritable like I'm about to explode. I can focus and complete tasks, I'm nicer to people. I just had my performance review at work and my boss said my work had been exceptional and wants to promote me to a senior policy advisor positiion. My compulsivity has also been reduced- I don't overeat and rarely drink anymore. I also sleep better and no longer need a sleep aid.
