Adderall is highly addictive and has more intense side effects such as appetite loss and aggression or loss of patience. I personally use vyvance, which works more with neurotransmitter homeostasis rather than just a stimulant. It’s less addicting as well, and my psychiatrist told me in combination of other antipsychotics it’s less intense on my system.

I haven’t had any problems with adderall but I’ve been taking it for years so I may be used to the side effects. I know when I first started taking it, I had dry mouth but that pretty much was it. One of my friends had to be pulled off of it though due to losing so much weight from a loss of appetite. I truly think some people aren’t affected (like me) and others experience a lot of side effects which can be detrimental. There’s no way to know why that is!
