"i started on 20mg adderall xr 1 month ago. i was diagnosed with adhd when i was 13. i was first medicated on ritalin and i went off of it because it made me very uneasy on the insides. i managed to get through school with all applied courses because a gold fish had a higher attention span then me. if i could turn back time i would have chosen the adderall path. just a few side effects that really weren&#039;t to bad, i lost a lot of weight because it suppressed my appetite, it was all weight that i could afford to lose and i feel better about myself, i do however have to make a list of tasks before i begin my day or i just get super hyper focused on one thing for to long. i grind my teeth and i have to take sleep-aids but it&#039;s worth it."
