Adderall XR I hated this medication. I had been on Dexedrine for 1 year and Adderall XR was given to me by a new doctor to try instead. I was told this medication was the same, but it was a world of difference when it came to things such as insomnia. The worst insomnia I have ever had. Not to mention the severe panic attacks, shifting eyes that could not focus. I could not be focused enough on anything very long. I kept trying to do multiple things at once and would find myself asking what was I doing. I became extremely agitated and angered very easily. I mood could shift as fast as snapping your fingers. My right eye begun to twitch and would become worse and tear when I was more tired, but would not be able to relieve it without shutting my eye because I suffered from such horrible insomnia. I would not advise this medication to any one that has a mood disorder because it seems to make the mood swings skyrocket through the roof and that can end up being a terrible mistake.
