Just another anecdote for you. Dose: 10 mg each workday morning. Side effects: Appetite was severely reduced for the first few weeks, but now I eat normally at meal times (though I don't snack the way I did before). Sleep is fine, no head aches. A slightly elevated blood pressure from before, but not worrisome. However, I am starting to watch sodium intake to combat this. My doctor sees no reason for me not to take Adderall long term. General experience: Much less anxious and stressed than before, when I was always scared of losing my job. The effects described in the article are much exaggerated from my experience, probably due to the quantity she was consuming. More focus has made work much more fascinating, and led to several small side projects. Social life is better, mostly due to better defined work hours and less anxiety. The author of the article was fairly stupid- the side effects of Adderall are well known and easily searchable, and she clearly abused her (already high dosage) prescription. Some common sense and restraint would have saved her worlds of pain.
