It is very upsetting to me to hear negative things about Adderall or the brand I take is called Amphetamine Salts 30mg by Sandoz.. I have the choice to take Aderall brand but This helps me better. I was tested at the age of 7 and had a high IQ. In school, they knew I was smart, but called me a fidegity child. That was because I loved to learn but my head couldn't concentrate therefore I internalized my problem and as a result, I had high anxiety, and bad nerves to the point where I would break out in blisters like chicken pox all over my body. I had to go to a Dermatologist where he put me under Ultraviolet Rays to dry up the blisters. Once every 5 weeks. Medicine was never mentioned. I would stay up trying to memorize everything for the next days classes. I couldn't do my best. My mind always felt that I let myself and everyone down. My stomach was always upset not to mention what my nerves did to my colon. When I got older,17 or so, I was put on all kinds of prescription drugs for everything but my real problem. Finally, in my Senior year, I found a wonderful, caring Doctor who knew what my problem was and weaned me off all xanax, valium, sleep meds etc.. He put me on Adderall! I do not have, from my head or heart the words to say just what this Medicine did for me. For the first time in my life, I had a Life. I was able to get up off the couch. I read everything I could get my hands on because I now understood what I was reading. I drove to my Parents house to HUG them because they suffered for me all this time, and now they saw me feeling normal and cried they were so happy. I became a very productive especially after college. I was very successful and now am in a position to give back to people who are less fortunate then I. I would be remiss if I didn't say that I was raised in a faithful family, a wonderful family and a Catholic Faith. I ask Jesus everyday to come into my heart and help run my life because I always had a hard time with that. I made good career choices,and Married at 39. I am still on Adderall generic by Sandoz which works for me and I have Jesus. I was able to retire very early. I have been Blessed so I wanted my days to help people in every way I could. I BEG the drug companies to continue making Adderall or for me, Sandoz generic. All other generics made me constantly throw up. I would love to be able to put my phone # here for people who are suffering like I did most of my life. I want to help and bring Hope to all.

I personally have suffered from severe ADHD since i was a child.. they had tried me on many different medications for it, which hadn't helped. However Adderall is by far the best medication that I have taken. My attention span has expanded, I am able to perform the tasks that I need to do without getting sidetracked and whatnot. Especially at work and school. Granted if you take it late in the day persay after 6:30-7ish at night, you'll have a really hard time falling asleep at night. It is deffinately an upper, but it does do wonders for many people. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about it, they know more than what anyone else would know.

I am 45 years old and have recently been diagnosed with A.D.D. although I kind of suspected it for a long time.I have been taking Adderall XR for 5 months gradually increasing the dosage.I feel it has made a very positive difference.At first Ihad a dull headache and I felt like I had been drinking alot of caffeine.After the first week or so I just felt a calmness,being able to focus and not be distracted I dont anger as quickly.It has been a positive experience for me.I wish I had tried it sooner when I was in school.I think the most important thing about taking it is working with your Dr. and finding the best dosage for YOU.
