12 Jan 2012 i love the focus, and how social it makes me. Also the increase in my grades i went from a 1.0 GPA student to a 3.12GPA. but the things i hate about it is the insomnia, racing thoughts, mood swings, anxiety, and depresseion, when it wheres off. It feels like all you wanna do is sleep but all you can do is lay in bed and wait to go to sleep. finaly my sexdrive has gone down, along with my penis size when non erect. then when i am doing stuff with my gf its very hard to keep it up, and get it out... thats all i'll say. ha but other than that adderall XR is a pretty swell drug.

21 May 2011 Adderall xr 25 mg was the best concentrating medications i have taken but the WORST medication for side effects ever. i dont even want to take this medication cuz of all the side effects, it makes u feel like a zombie with focus, it changes ur personality. i would advice for the person that gets this medication of the bat to make sure your dosage is exact cuz the first time i got diagnosed this is what was prescribed to me and i mad that it was cuz it gave my body a hate towards Adderall.
