> I am 22 years old and I just started taking Adderall about 2 weeks ago. It seems to be working - my concentration/focus is really good now. I have taken Imipramine and Ritalin but Adderall seems to give me a much better response. It seems to be a "smooth" drug and lasts a lot longer than Ritalin. Plus it doesn't seem to make me as "antsy" as Ritalin. Imipramine made me very depressed after about 6 months of use and I gained a LOT of weight with it. Also, does anyone have any information about side affects of long term use of Adderall? That is something that I cannot find any information on. Thanks for your help!
Be glad they caught it now, I was 40 before they diagnosed the add. Never took ritalin. Been on aderall 4 months now. It's fine, it does help me concentrate on one task and generally has a "calming effect" I do not crave more than the 40 mg/day I take. I do find major appetite effect. however. I eat little and poorly--but since I haven't been working out--not too much wieght off. I did a lot of research before I took it, and like someone else said, addiction can be a problem. But I also read that if your body "needs" the stimulent, you genrally tend to stay at one level and not crave more.
