How bad are everyone else’s side effects? I currently take a 30mgXR in the morning and 10mgIR part way through the day. I can get some facial tics and other OCD like symptoms. They aren’t bad enough to lower my dose or make other changes at this point. Just wondering what others are experiencing and if anyone has any tips or tricks to dealing with stuff like that.
I just started Adderall 10mgER last month after trying Straterra (25mg->40mg->80mg) to no success. The biggest side effects I have noticed are hyper sexuality, the sensation of sounds peripheral to my current activity being “un-muffled,” and a lack of instinct to go to sleep (not the inability, I just have no drive to get into bed, turn the lights off, and close my eyes. Once I am there, falling asleep is easy).
I also have noticed a flip in how it impacted my appetite. At first, I just wasn’t hungry at all and was actively reminding myself to eat. Then, out of nowhere, I became incredibly hungry and painfully aware of it.
All the other notable stim effects fell off pretty quickly; no more jaw cleching, fidgeting, or sensory overstimulation.
Extreme appetite suppression. I need to set reminders to remember to eat, and if I forget, become incredibly hungry, irritable, and unable to executive function my way into preparing a meal when my meds wear off.
