I was diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago and my doctor prescribed Dextroamphetamine 20mg Tablets to help with my focus and impulsivity. I've heard stories about some really scary side effects, but I'm not sure how common they are. Has anyone else had any bad experiences with this medication? I know it's important to talk to my doctor about any concerns, but I'm just looking for some real-world insights from others who have tried it. What should I be on the lookout for? Is it worth the risk for the benefits?

I had a bad experience with this medication. I started having seizures and had to stop taking it. It was really scary, and I had to switch to something else.

I just want to say that I've been on this medication for a while and it's been a lifesaver. I haven't had any major side effects, just some dry mouth and trouble sleeping. Just make sure to talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.

Seriously, if you feel any symptoms that are rare but serious, like allergic reaction, uncontrolled body movements, or erectile dysfunction, don't wait. Let your doctor know.

I'm on 30mg and they work great for my ADHD. Just make sure to take them early in the day or you'll be up all night.

I've had some really bad side effects from this medication. I've had some really bad vision problems and my skin has turned a weird color. I had to stop taking them.

I had a friend who took these and started exhibiting some pretty scary symptoms. It was really scary to see. If you start feeling any chest pain or abnormal heartbeat, go to the hospital right away.
