"i&#039;m 25 yrs old, male and i started taking adderall for adult add 2 months ago.  my physician and i decided to give it a shot because i was having a terrible time at work (4yrs employed) doing the simple, but long term tasks/projects that everybody else were doing on time/completed.  pros: productivity up 300%, more attention to detail, finishing tasks, major increase focusing (easily!), major decrease in stress from cognitively/mentally draining myself in attempt to &#039;stay focused&#039;, more energy.  cons:  severe initial 7-10 days side effects.  still experiencing severe dehydration, dry mouth, nausea, dead libido, moody, increase in tobacco smoking, loss of appetite.  fantastic benefits.  side effects are still mild, if anything."
