Hello all!
I am 29 year old male, 5'9" and 155 lbs. I have been taking Prozac off and on for almost 10 years now. I recently got diagnosed with ADD inattentive type and last month my Psychiatrist put me on 15 mg of Adderall XR. I took if for a week but stopped because it gave me intestinal cramps, headaches and I just didn't feel right. So I switched over to immediate release form (D-Ampheta) 15 mg and have been taking it for over a week and a half. I must say I like it. I have lots of energy and I am finally able to get things done and I feel MOTIVATED! I work as a graphic artist and I used to count down the hours in the afternoon until I left work. But now I am busy and focused and the next thing I know it's 5:30 pm and time to go home! On the weekends I used to lay around and not do anything. The past couple of weekends I now have energy and get things done.
The only major things I have noticed are lack of appetite (I'm slender enough as it is) and loss of sex drive. Besides that it's been good so far!
Just wanted to share my experience so far
-cheers
That is good to know. My son just got switched to Adderal XR 10 mg. He seems to be better. His appetite is better as well. He was on Metadate before and he would pick at his fingers and toes until they bled. He no longer does that as well.
Thank you for your imput since my son is only 7 and can't really tell me fully how he feels.
