My daughter was recently changed to Adderall XR 10mg. She takes one pill in the morning. Her pupils are staying dilated, she is emotional at times, very clingy to me (to the point I'm having to sleep in bed with her), and weight loss. We switched her to this due to lack of appetite, but she is still losing weight. I'm giving it another week and if I don't see some positive changes then she's coming off of it. She only needs help focusing. It breaks my heart to see her this way!

I went through the same things when I started. Over time, I've been on it for 2 and half years now and my weights fine. In the beginning I lost 20 pounds in 3 months. My parents thought I had an eating disorder, but I really just wasn't hungry. It's now evend out and my weights normal, and the mood swings have gotten much better. For me it was just getting my body use to it for a while.
