Has anyone been prescribed D-Amphetamine Salt Combo 10mg Tab for ADHD? How are the side effects?

I've never heard of all of the dangerous side effects on here listed. For me, this med has changed my life. I was really struggling with ADHD, and this has helped me focus and get my life back on track. I'm so grateful for it. I've just heard of a few of these side effects. Thank goodness I haven't experienced any of them.

I've been on it for years and it's been great. I've had some side effects like restlessness and changes in vision, but my doctor adjusted the dosage and it got better.

I've been on this for a few months now, and it's been a game-changer. I've had some side effects like nausea and decreased appetite, but nothing too bad. My focus has improved significantly, and I feel like I can finally keep up with my work. It's worth the side effects.

I had a really bad experience with this medication. I started getting severe headaches and my blood pressure spiked. I had to stop taking it, but I'm doing much better now. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with a history of high blood pressure.

I've heard that this medication can cause erectile dysfunction. Has anyone else experienced this?

One thing that really helped me was getting into exercise while on this. I'm not saying exercise is a cure for ADHD or anything, but it's really important to overcome the side effects from these medications. Make sure that you're getting your heart rate up a bit and taking care of your body.

Sad to hear you're having a tough time. It's always hard to find the right medication. Do you have a secondary diagnosis with Autism? There's a lot more research on how stimulants work differently for those with a co-occurring diagnosis compared to those without. If so, you may want to talk to your doctor about another approach to therapy.

Drugs like these can be really tough on your body. I would talk to your doctor and maybe get a second opinion. These meds are designed for short term use, but unfortunately many docs put people on them for years. Some side effects they don't even mention to patients can be quite harmful as well. They are really designed for short term use, but unfortunately many people stay on them for years.

I have a theoretical question — I'm curious to know if anyone has experienced any positive effects from this medication that weren't directly related to ADHD or narcolepsy. For example, has anyone noticed improved mood or energy levels?

I took this for narcolepsy and it helped, Big Time. It's really important to keep in mind that stimulants can mess with your sleep. I personally recommend that anyone who takes them keep track of how they are sleeping, and if it's not good, let your doctor know. Also, be careful if you take it for ADHD. I know a lot of people take it to study, but the side effects are not worth the trade off.
