If Your Thinking About Adderall..think Again! Posted: 03-01-07 14:59pm
Hey everyone,
I just want to warn you all about the
terrible side effects that come along with
taking adderall. I started taking it to
focus more in school, since it is an ADD
pill (perscription) however i do not have
add. I noticed that my appetite was
decreasing, and i was prettty happy about
that as well. I started taking it everday,
and it literally changed the way i acted.
First off, im hardly eating, which is very
unhealthy and my mood swings are
rediculous. I started to feel depressed
when bored, and when it would wear off, i
would have panic attacks. I flip out on
anyone near me, and cry hysterically. It
usually happens when i get home from
school which is unfortunate for my family.
Yesterday, i took 30mg XR adderall and
coming off it was horrible, the worst
panic attack yet. I was thrwoing
everything in my room, screaming, punching
things..and hysterically crying for no
reaosn. Its a terrible feeling of anxiety
and fustration that im not able to
control. Many girls (and guys too) think
adderall is a "miracle weight loss pill"
but it TRULY IS NOT! Sure, you do lose
weight.. but it'll all come back..and more
of it too! The side effects are too much
of a price to pay to lose weight. I often
get depressed, and very anti social. I
would rather do work or something to keep
me occupied then hang out and have fun
with my friends. Honestly, its not worth
it.. even though they are cheap and easy
to get, they are not good at all. It leads
to addiction, and other severe problems.
When i dont take adderall, i sleep in my
room all day and cry. It takes control of
people, and its always important for YOU
to be incontrol of YOUR body. Please dont
make the same mistake i did. If you want
to lose weight and feel you need to be on
a pill, take something that wont give you
these effects. If you want to know more
about the dangers of adderall go to the
Addiction and Recovery forum.
Hope i helped.

I'm completely in agreement with this.
Honestly, to start with, diet pills are a
bunch of CRAP. I mean, think about it, if
diet pills worked, then no one would be
overweight, and diet pill companies
wouldn't be STEALING billions of dollars
from ignorant consumers.
As for Adderall, YES. I DO have ADHD, but
when I ran out because I couldn't see the
doctor soon enough, the withdrawal was
HORRIBLE. I was depressed, exhausted,
completely unfocussed, and just generally
lacking in motivation.
PLEASE reconsider your health before you
decide to take Adderall as some "weight
loss" gimmick. To people out there- I
know you're impatient and just want this
weight to be gone "right now" but think
about it: at what cost? And don't even
say you'd rather lose years off your life
(along with many other side effects,
including social relationships and overall
happiness) in order to be thinner.
Re-evaluate the reason you're thinking you
need to lost weight in the first place!
