> What was your trial experience like with Adderall XR? Was it positive or negative?
I would say it was pretty positive overall. I found it a little too agitating/anxiety provoking than I'd have liked, especially in social situations. Prehaps dextroamphetamine would have been a better choice. Caffeine is much better with anxiety in that regard. I find caffeine very prosocial for me. I found the energy and motivation Adderall gave me was quite effective as well, perhaps superior to caffeine.
Since I don't have ADD or ADHD I didn't find it effected my concentration anything amazing although I did find it helped some.
For me I wouldn't have said it's a wonderdrug or anything. I was wondering towards the end if it was losing some of it's effectiveness. More breaks probably would have been appropriate, but I found the days I didn't take anything I felt like a slug and couldn't feel like I could do much of anything.
Hope that's what you were looking for.
