I have ADD, not ADHD. I noticed a difference in my cognitive abilities almost immediately after using Adderall XR. The 30 mg capsule made my heart race, so my dosage was reduced to 25 mg. The ideal dose for me would probably be somewhere in between 25 mg and 30 mg. My symptoms gradually worsened over a period of 30+ years and resulted in multiple job losses, divorces and financial difficulties. ...

I've been taking 15mg twice (Sometimes once a day as needed) prescription. It helps me with a lot of things, my attentiveness and focus of course, but also my anxiety and ability to socialize; I used to be a complete "wallflower" as they say, and a recluse. With the help of this medication I've overcome many of my mental illnesses. Now for the negative: I get center chest pains, I'm not entirely sure if it's caused by Adderall XR. However, the chest pain which comes and goes is typically a mild ache type irritant. On the other hand, I had a "freak" heart attack at the age of 24 due to two of my heart ventricles clotting 100% and 90%. I nearly died, they did a cardiac cath procedure through the the groin to poke out the clots. I made a full recovery. The doctor didn't even put in stents. This event was PRIOR to be being prescribed Adderall XR. They could not figure out the cause of the clots, as my blood had showed no proof of clotting disorder. I am no doctor but my guess would be it was caused by using hard street drugs for multiple years from about the ages of 15-20. But nobody including me will ever know for sure. I do get increased blood pressure, and heart rate, however, it almost always goes away as long as I become physically active. However, if I am sitting around lounging, or say... just driving around... I tend to notice not only the rise in blood pressure, the shakes, as well as the mild center chest pain. I would say I am worried about this causing me serious heart/cardiovascular complications, if it hasn't already. I do not know how serious center chest pain is, I've always heard it's the left arm you should worry about, which, aside from some nerve damage from the heart procedure (which I take Gabapentin for) which also preceded the Adderall prescription. Should I be worried? I feel like I can't truly live without being on Adderall, I don't ever over take my prescribed dose (no abusing.) However, I feel like it could be a risk to my heart healh. It's a bit of a catch-22. But I think I'd rather risk dying, than living as I used to. Which was essentially a life of nothingness, and uselessness. At least now I can work, socialize, pay attention/focus. I'm afraid to tell my doctor, because I don't want to Adderall to be taken away. I am hoping someone here with some medical expertise can shine some light on my situation.Read More Read Less

adderall makes me less foggy, and allows me to focus on and maintain conversations better. not sure what i would have done without it! the side effects can be an issue though, expect your libido to go down

I always had issues, but not diagnosed until 40 years old. I am much calmer and focused. In the first 8 hours of taking, I sometimes forget to eat. My addiction to porn is gone and no desire to drink alcohol. Exactly the opposite from Concerta. Only issue is the anxiety from my sexless marriage is 100 percent in focus. At least now my focus is shifted to trying to fix and not wanting to kill my self. On the right track. If medications like concerta or ridalin are not working, this might be a great alternative. Good luck with your journey.Read More Read Less

Starting dose was 20mg XR for me. First few days taking it, I fell asleep within an hour. I understand this is to calm my sporadic mind, and it did so much that I took some of the best naps of my life. It's been four weeks now, still having a hard time eating throughout the day and getting enough water. Sometimes I am starving, but food just doesn't taste good. Definitely took off a star for that because I love food and our bodies need it. I have to force myself to eat. As far as focus goes, I have noticed a slight increase in focus. Better than I was before, and I'm able to sit in my chair longer. But with ADHD, I may never be fully focused and I've come to accept that. During days where I can relax, I try not to take it to let my body have a break. Especially since I don't need any type of focus during them. Read More Read Less
