hisbloodisinme Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hello all. I have been off and on all sorts of medicines for years. My senior year I got on Adderall XR but I was off of it until almost my sophmore year of college when I got back on it at 25 mg once a day of ADDERALL XR. So about 2 years now. I get side effects that I wonder if anyone else does -A few hours into it i get shaky and weak feeling -I can be irritable -Mood swings -It makes me OCD completly OCD as far as straightening organizing cleaning and worrying about if i turned things off. -Makes my bowels losser not loose just looser. -It gives me insomnia if I take it too late and even if I don't I have trouble sleeping some -I get anxiety around large groups of people that i can't get away from...For example in a car full of people -I get loss of appitite whereas if I am off of it I can't stop thinking about food and Im never full. (but im not overweight either alltho i used to be 100 pounds overweight) - I can't concentrate right without it though for school or driving or anything but it also slows me down so much that sometimes im almost sad. Does anyone else have these problems? Have you found any solutions to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Hi we have more of a non-medication approach here so not sure how much response you will get. But I can recommend a good Medications Forum at NeuroTalk where you are likely to get more input on adderall http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum72.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miss_mia_44 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'm not sure how to do this the correct way, but here it goes. I realize you posted this awhile ago, but just in case you check it...I am 35 years old and just got put on Adderall. I do have some of those symptoms, but not all. I'm not on this for being hyper, if anything I'm the opposite so it does not slow me down the way you describe. But yes it does loosen the bowels every morning like clockwork, I feel a bit more OCD (although I tend to be a bit of that as well as ADD), I only take it in the morning (20 mg) so I do not have trouble sleeping at night. The one side effect I notice is armpit sweating. I have really noticed this lately and that's the only thing I can think of that would cause it. It's ruining my clothes and it's horribly embarrassing! Hello all. I have been off and on all sorts of medicines for years.
