Does anyone else out there take Adderall for ADD? I just started taking it again like 5 days ago and feel like I haven't a personality anymore. I know it will take some getting used to again but right now I just feel strange.

    By the way I take 15 milligrams twice a day of the generic kind.

    i take it and at first i felt like that but give it a week or two and it will be okay. But you will lose your appetite, so make sure you eat!!

    maybe your dosage is not correct. you said 'again' .. does that mean you used to take it? maybe you took a different dose? evaluate how you feel, and if it's still not 'right', then definitely call your Dr. and see if you can get a different dose or a different med change! good luck

    I take Vyvanse (since January) and it has been a miracle and life saver for my ADD/ADHD!

    I took Wellbutrin for ADD. It always took about four to six weeks before I felt 'right'. I mean, it would help my symptoms right away, but I never felt quite myself while my body was getting used to the meds. Once the transition period was over, I was amazing!


    I don't take anything any more - I'm working on using calendars, to-do lists, and timers to keep myself straight, and it generally works most of the time. It's a struggle, but I hope to be pretty much a-ok eventually. :D

    Yeah I stopped taking it a year ago. Same dosage. Maybe it's just that I'm sober this time around. And not smoking cigarettes. Or smoking pot.

    Ohhhh....... yeah, drinking and meds are dangerous - I know other drugs can be the same.

    I don't know what the side effects on Adderall are with pot and the likes, but I can say that when I was taking Wellbutrin, if I drank more than a few drinks in a night I would black out. I'm pretty sure I had a really incredible summer a few years ago, but I don't really remember it.
