I am a 48 y.o university professor, - after years of frustration and depression because of my procrastination habits and, as I described it, a lack of engagement between my brain and my body. I finally went into therapy just over a year ago at the urging of my wife and was diagnosed with ADHD. I started taking Adderall about 8 months ago. I have found that Adderall is very effective at helping me...
I am a mental health therapist, and reading these reviews of Adderall makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time. I am also taking adderall, and know in my heart that I am addicted, and struggle with knowing this everyday.

I have been taking this drug for a little over a year and I have went from not being able to sit still and finish projects, and or holding a job to becoming a top sales producer holding my position there for a little over a year. This drug has helped me greatly.

My son has responded great to this medication. He did have a problem sleeping for the first few weeks of taking the medication. He has no problems with tics like he has with other meds.

I loath adderall. For whatever reason, it worked for about 6 weeks, and then my moods started getting weird. After taking Adderall for 2 months, I had several severe panic attacks. I never had a panic attack previously. I'd much rather be on ritalin.

As an accomplished woman, I didn't know I had ADD until after middle age when increasing I couldn't complete tasks. Depression and loss of self esteem set in but once diagnosed and on medication I was able to slow down, concentrate and finish jobs. I never realized how my mind raced from subject to subject until I was on medication - 4 years now.

It was a wonder for me! I had spent tons of money in medical bills and doctors visits only to realize that what I was battleing with was adult ADHD. This hadn't been as much of a problem for me when I was younger until my job had changed drastically and I lost my ability to focus. Work was terrible and my performance was slipping which made me seem deppressed. Once I started on the medication, it has been like I am a different person. I don't give up on tasks, I complete them, I listen to people when they talk to me,and overall I accomplish the goals I set forth each day. Thank God my doctor finally listened when others did not.Read More Read Less
