"i took adderall for about 7-8 months.  it was the first medication that i have taken for adhd as in the past i have suffered through the symptoms.  overall i would say that it helped my focus and drowsiness.  other than that i didn&#039;t notice a huge change in other areas, though the ability to stay awake and keep focused helped at work. i still managed to forget important events.  it works well for those of us who have the in-attentive type adhd."
