For Fatigue "I have dealt with depression, on and off, for most of my life. I have depression that is heavily marked by fatigue and is very resistant to SSRIs. In fact, SSRIs have never done anything at all for me. Upon switching to an every other day dose of 30mg/day of Dextroamphetamine, I found the depression subsided immediately. I was no longer fatigued at all. Of course, I have more energy on the days I take the medication, but I don't feel overly tired at all on the other days either. On this medication, I am able to think clearly and deal with the normal stresses of life. I do not recommend eating before, or for several hours after, taking this. I would highly recommend it for anyone who has little to no success with SSRIs or a lot of fatigue."

Mydayis (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "To all the people saying this is rubbish and to use adderall XR instead, this IS adderall XR. It's literally made by the same company and contains the same ingredients. It's just a triple layer release whereas adderall XR is double layer. If you do not feel the effects of mydayis but do feel adderall XR, it's because of your own negative expectations and placebo. That's is all."

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "I just filled with brand shire xrs, totally different from last months brand shire xrs which were FINALLY acceptable. These are like lannett innards, make me sick and trigger migraines. as well as another month of Teva generic tablets which are absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. This is total rubbish, someone needs to produce real adderall again using the old barr/teva recipe and the original shire xr recipe. Over $7 a capsule for rubbish! Not refundable, can't trade them in, this is the definition of highway robbery! How can the same brand vary so much from one fill to the next? and these are the brands that have been the standard forever. Apparently once you report more than two adverse reactions to a company they don't have to respond back either. Not that they do anything but repeat back the same information to you; yeah I know that part I'm the one who wrote it! Tell me what I don't know! The FDA is no help either."

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "Was placed on Adderall XR 20mg once a day. The first month was fantastic. I could think. I had bounds of physical energy. My mood was elevated. I had problems starting with the second month. The positive effects were no longer there, and the negative ones were enhanced. I did some research and found out it was an issue with the brand. Not all generics are the same despite what everyone is told. I got Actavis brand. I found out that not only are generics allowed to differ in potency by 60-120% (40 less potent than some or 20% more potent than some), but Actavis was allowed to use its own proprietary formulation. If you are put on Adderall XR or IR, be cautious about what generic you get. Some work way better than others."

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "Judging from the reviews I’m clearly not the only one who has had a HORRIBLE experience with the manufacturer “Lannett”. Please anyone having issues with them fill out a complaint form to the fda Medwatch! They need to know how badly it is affecting people! Unbelievable !!!"

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "Such an amazing contribution to the pharmaceutical world. So much better than its ugly step-sisters, such as Ritalin and Vyvanse. Adderall steals the show every time. 30mg/day does the trick. Been on it for 12 years, I've taken personal breaks for tolerance. I've never had any type of 'withdrawal' or 'come downs' at the end of the day. This drug has the ability to put me to sleep when I take it, honestly; and that's because my dissociation (caused by my ADHD) causes my anxiety to skyrocket. But when I take my Adderall, I am able to focus on reality, making my anxiety disappear for a few hours. Calms me down. Relief is a blessing."

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "This ALVOGEN Brand is TERRIBLE. I personally have had an ALLERGIC REACTION to this medication. And am very upset my Pharmacy has switched my normal brand to this brand. I have made complaints and am looking into further action."

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "The Teva that I normally take is on back order. Tried Epic brand. Immediately started feeling dizzy and headache started. Pulse is racing, resting pulse is 67 and my current resting is 94. Feel like I am having an out of body experience also paranoid. When talking I felt like I was talking really fast, but my daughter said I was actually talking slowly. Everyone keeps looking at me really weird. My eyes are blinking uncontrollably. I keep crying for no reason. I hope this medication wears off very very soon. Dry mouth, which is normal, but this was almost immediate and severe. My arm occassionally twitches and I seem to now be shivering. If I took this brand normally I would never want to take amphetamine/dextroamphetamine again."

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "When I was in grade school I had a real hard time learning. I could not pay attention in class. My mind was always wandering. I was always daydreaming and looking out the windows. I could not retain any information. I was forgetful and bored. My grades were always C's and D's no matter how hard I tried. I was always fidgety, had a hard time sitting still, always twirling my hair or shaking my legs or feet. I hated school, I felt so dumb. As I got into high school I was so far behind I gave up trying. When I started driving I would go through red lights, stop signs, etc. I was just daydreaming all the time. I kept losing my car keys, my glasses, forgetting where I put them. I am out of space, but Adderall saved my life! I am 59. No side effects."

For ADHD "Recently changed pharmacies and didn't realize that there can be quite a difference between generics. For 4 years I’ve taken adderall 2x day, 10 mg. Never any problems until I switched pharmacies to save $. Elite Pharma is who makes this new one and it is NOT GOOD. I am lethargic, unable to focus, quite sleepy. It’s as if I haven’t even taken anything. Incredibly frustrating as I am not even half way through this months supply."

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "I have been taking it for several years. There was a time about a year ago when all the pharmacies could not get any, and I went about a month without. Being a Service Advisor, I deal with a lot of numbers (VIN, License Plates, etc.). After a few days without, I started reversing a lot of the numbers. I would see the correct order but would say out loud or write down a reversed version. I had to go slower and double-check what I had written. A positive side effect is it gets me off the couch on the day(s) I have off and motivates me to get stuff done around the house that needs to be done. It kept me up at night at first, but after a while, I learned not to take it too late in the day. I would recommend it to anyone who has ADHD."

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "I finally got diagnosed when I was 40. I was in college and just couldn't focus or comprehend my classes. I thought there was something wrong with my head. I've been abused for a very long time. I went to my counselor and suggested I get tested for ADHD. I was very relieved it wasn't head problems. I was diagnosed with ADHD. I suffered for 40 years with all the symptoms but never thought about ADHD. When I was put on Adderall, I couldn't believe the difference. My grade point was 3.67. I was very proud of myself. I've been taking it ever since, 30mg twice a day. People can tell when I'm not on it, big difference. My insurance didn't cover it, so I was paying over $200. My insurance started paying last year. THANK YOU FOR READING MY STORY."

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "This month I received an RX that was half Lannett half Teva due to the shortage. I tried to not mix the brands when dosing. Let me say the difference between these two manufacturers is shocking. Lannett, not only entirely ineffective, is actually just down right harmful. My chest hurts on it, crazy headaches, pounding heart, nausea, I am tired, and VERY little focus which is only in the immediate beginning. Teva however, works like it’s supposed to, and I don’t feel like I’m literally dying."

Mydayis (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "I have suffered my entire life with ADD. For a while Adderal helped. Then as I turned 49 it seemed to make me more anxious, irritable, short tempered, and I had No patience for stupidity! Upon trying the Mydayis, I was immediately impressed. I was finishing projects. Getting things done right! Able to focus for longer durations of time. Long enough to complete tasks at hand. I feel so much better."

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "I am 25 years old. Over the last 3 years I have pretty much ruined most of my relationships involving my career and my personal life. The most common symptoms I experience are: Difficulty concentrating and staying on task, capricious behavior/severe mood swings, impulsive behavior/making irrational decisions that significantly impact my future, depression, and anxiety. I had a great job, and I had lots of friends. Unfortunately, difficult events took place that caused my emotional health to start spiraling out of control. I became diagnosed with ADD/ADHD in April 2013. Started Adderall 30mg XR. It really helped me feel more motivated, less depressed, and I felt I could concentrate much better. I definitely recommend this medication!"

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "Been on Adderall for 5 years now, 15mg twice daily. Started on 10mg 2x daily but the lower doses are associated with aggressive behaviors. Is it a flawless savior? Do I still struggle at times with ADHD? Absolutely! Medications, i.e. insulin, all have side effects. As a patient, you must ask yourself if the side effects outweigh the benefits. I refused treatment until age 32 which has been beneficial to my physical health. If you are at the mercy of ADHD, I strongly advise you to use some of the new apps with or without meds. Daily for the 1st 3 weeks is simply miraculous. Lastly, the world or your coworkers don't need to know about your diagnosis. ADHD is still stigmatized as a disorder that only stupid people have. My 1st RN job I was viciously bullied once word got out about my ADHD!! By my fellow RNs!! Now I make more than a Nurse Practitioner!! #Strength"

For ADHD "I’m a doctor with ADHD. I’ve been on the generics to cut costs during tough times but I insist on the name brand adderall. No only is it smoother it lasts longer and helps even more than the generics. It’s a shame that cost is a bearing on necessary prescriptions and that generic are so much weaker and poorer quality. Generic adderall needs to step it up they have quality issues and their recipe is somehow flawed."

For Fatigue "I have been through about all anti-depressants, mood stabilizers, and anti-psychotics for my severe treatment-resistant depression and this medicineamphetamine/dextroamphetamine has saved me. Honestly, I have horrible anxiety as well. I have Chronic PTSD and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. This medicine calms my nerves as well. I can actually take naps during the day now when I need to instead of not being able to rest. It helps my impulsiveness from my Bipolar Disorder that is included in my Schizoaffective diagnosis. I may have to deal with the hallucinations but this medicine is the only medicine that works for me in the most positive way. For me, it has way less severe side effects than any medicine I have tried. It mainly helps with my energy levels which helps my depression because I feel more useful I also am more social which helps my confidence. The only thing I struggle with is the lack of appetite and it seems like water goes right through me. But, It is definitely a life saver for me. <3"

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "Went from 70mg Vyvanse to 25mg Adderall XR and I'll just say the Vyvanse was not effective for studying or focus, it made me confused, made me think too much and made me feel kind of bad. I switched to Adderall XR and I was immediately able to concentrate and focus, I was not confused anymore either. I am on 25mg now but I think 30mg may work just a little bit better, overall Adderall XR is the best thing I've ever taken for my ADHD! I also do not feel overstimulated or high from it which is a big plus because I'm a recovering opiate addict and I don't need something that is gonna make me feel like I need more."

Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "I floated through high school, got honors and graduated a year early. Did the same through a state college, even though I was accepted to Ivy Leagues with scholarships. I chose the easy route as I hated books and never read anything, despite being able to pass with a bachelor's in college and honors in high school just on auditory lecture learning. I was scared to challenge myself. Went to nursing school 10 years ago and failed out. Then I tried again on Adderall - Out of a class of 140, I'm #1. Everything I read I absorb. I can NOW focus. Everything's wired tight, and each day I am limitless on what I can learn. I feel music. I'm in touch with everything. I thank every day I'm on it."

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "Life with inattentive ADHD has been hard, but after starting Adderall, it’s like I can be normal like everyone else. Except on Elite Labs' formulation of Adderall. Basically just sugar pills or caffeine pills you have to pay more for. Any other generic would be better than Elite; truly garbage. Been reported to the FDA before, but they're still sold. Beware of which generic you take, but overall, the grass IS greener on the other side."

Adderall XR (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "I've struggled with ADD my whole life. When I was a kid, I was put on Ritalin for a few years, and it was amazing at helping me concentrate. Before I hit middle school, my pediatrician took me off of it, saying I 'grew out of it'. I went on through life thinking it was just in my head. I'm now 32. I was always fog-headed and had trouble concentrating. I talked to my doctor, and she said I'd have to see a psychiatrist to get on the medication. My boyfriend's mom talked to her family doctor, and she said she would help me. I met with her and was put on Adderall XR 20mg in the morning and 5mg IR in the afternoon. It's simply amazing. I lost some weight, and I can clearly focus. My boss has noticed a huge difference, and I got a promotion at work!"

Mydayis (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "I started on Vyvanse about 10 years ago. Eventually was taking 70mg in morning and 50mg in afternoon. I have a pretty hard time with tolerance issues which led me to abuse the vyvanse. This led me to switch to Adderall IR twice daily. Still didn’t fix the problem. Ask my psych about Mydayis and I can tell you it has an effect all day (definitely more then Adderall XR & Vyvanse) it gives you a more calming feeling while adderall caused anxiety & I felt I needed valium. My psychiatrist doesn’t mess around and since I’ve been taking amphetimines for years, he put me right on the highest dose 50mg. So far so good..."

Mydayis (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) for ADHD "I was taking Adderall 20 mg twice a day. It made me anxious and almost paranoid at times. I had extreme highs and extreme lows but I could focus. I have been on Mydayis for a week now and I do not have the anxiety I had with Adderrall and I am not super hyperfocused and chatty like I was on Adderrall. Mydayis feels more natural if that makes sense. I feel more myself now and even my bf said he notices a change. A good change. Also, I had a bit of sexual blah and found it difficult to be "happy" and Mydayis gave me my groove back. I can easily fall asleep but I noticed if I don't lay down and settled, I can stay up. I can definitely fall asleep on it. I like it. I think it depends on the person. I myself don't like feeling like I am bouncing off the walls and Mydayis doesn't make me feel that way but I am more organized and productive. Worth a try to see if it works for you. Feels healthier."
