I am now 25 years old. Before adderall and in the first few years of administration of the drug, I was the most happy and joyful person known to my family and friends. Adderall used over extended periods of time is proven to deplete your brain of dopamine.. this results in major depression. I have encountered that depression and it is far worse than living with ADHD/ ADD. My brother had the same result. I would never give my child this medication. It definitely stunts growth and causes depression. WARNING. On a side note, nothing else could have caused the depression. I am otherwise healthy, with a great family, a biochem major, and a great job. There is no other apparent cause. I have been on adderall for well over 12 years. I am now 25 years old.

I take the 30mg adderall not adderallXR. The first 2 weeks my appetite was completely lost but came back in full starting on the 3rd week. The past week has been really horrible though. I have always had a very high tolerance for medication and my body adjusts to it extremely fast, but lately the adderall has had little to no effect on my ADD other then adverse side affects. I have been experiencing EXTREME HOSTILITY, AGGRESSION, AND MURDER ACTS!!!!!!! I also heard voices for a good 1.5-2 weeks as well. I am a 16 year old male and when on adderall ALL REMORSE AND FEELING OF RIGHT AND WRONG ARE LOST!!!! DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION IF YOU ARE PRONE TO VIOLENCE!!!!!

He runs cross country in school but had to quit because of a racing heart that wouldn't quit racing for abt. 30-45 minutes after running. he now has to see a heart doctor. Why do parents think it's okay to drug their children?? do you not think about the lasting side effects of these drugs? my son may have had a heart condition before starting the adderall (?) but his father & his doctor should have tested prior to medicating or did the adderall cause this problem?

I am in my late 30's and have been taking 20 mg XR in the morning and 10 mg tablet in the afternoon. on top of that I am also taking cymbalta and at the beginning my concerns were the loss of sexual drive and weight loss which I was ok with, but after almost one and a half years I have not lost any sex drive and no weight loss. I have maintained my avg weight of 175 to 180 (holidays around 180) LOL . I appreciate all the feed backs but for me, the drug has given me the patients, thinking power, incredible and creative ideas about many things and solutions to issues that I never would have thought about or give a hoot about in the past. It allows me to tackle daily issues from family to work related matters. I am able to open up and communicate with others and ask questions about the matter and than come up with a solution with in the same conversation. I used to be a quiet, always keeping it to myself and not wanting to deal with any ones but now, I take every thing by the horn and deal with it. And yes, there are some times that I am over taken by all the issues and life problems but after stepping back and re assessing my issues and plans I get back and go at it again. I know that I cant be up and up all the time and just like any thing else, what goes up must come down but the good thing now is that I dont stay down for weeks and sleep all day and want to shut off the world. Now, I take the time that I need to go through the issues and get back up after a day or two feel great about the ability to get back to every day life. I guess at the end of the day, I look at the big picture and see how life is going and how I can make it better for me and my family. And yes, there are a few side effects but in the long run, what I can accomplish and live my life now, day to day is what makes me feel good about living. Because you never know what tomorrow brings. I am happy now and living life now thats what matters to me. I guess I take the good with the bad and make it work for me the best possible. I hope others would be able to see things from my angle and always see the positive in life. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I wish every one luck. Sam Z that I never knew that I had.

I got it and within one day....no lower back pain or stiffness or soreness. Also, yes, take nordic naturals omega 3 oil. Very beneficial.
