I was prescribed Amphetamine 5mg Tablets for ADHD and have been taking them for a few months now. They've definitely helped with my focus and attention, but I've also experienced some side effects like trouble sleeping and a decreased appetite. I'm curious to hear from others who have taken this medication. What have your experiences been like? Have any of you dealt with serious side effects, and if so, how did you handle them? I'd appreciate any advice or shared experiences to better understand what I might expect.

I've been on Amphetamine 5mg for about 6 months and I can't complain much about the side effects. I do get a headache sometimes but nothing too extreme. My focus improved and I can get more done in a day.

I had a very serious side effect but I just ignored it and thought it was nothing. Big mistake. Don’t do that, if you see anything weird go to your doctor right away. It’s not worth it.

My ADHD is manageable and I work but I often slip into a rut and I've got impulse control issues. Can someone suggest a different med that I could ask my doctor about?

I've also had some trouble with constipation and feeling jittery. It sucks. But definitely better than struggling to focus all day. Has anyone else experienced this?

I won't lie, the dry mouth is the worst. Brush up on saliva substitutes and keep a water bottle handy. It becomes a lifesaver.

Amphetamine is a powerful stimulant, and it's important to remember that it isn't just about the benefits. You need to monitor for signs of high blood pressure and other serious side effects. If you experience any of the symptoms mentioned, seek medical attention immediately. Trust me, it isn’t worth the risk if you experience any of those.
