Adderall XR ADHD/ADD Medication — 

I have 2 different views on Adderall XR.  The first is on my son.  My son was on Adderall and then he was switched to Adderall XR.  Once on the Adderall XR he said his brain was talking to him and telling him to do bad stuff, he also said he saw Ghost that were trying to take him under the ground with them.  I call and got him in to see the Psychiatrist who stated that the Adderall XR was causing him to have Hallucenations because his system wasn't getting rid of all the medicine like it should.  My son was then switched to Concerta. Although it is a rare side effect of the Adderall XR it is something to keep in mind if you child is taking the medicine. 

Besides the hallucenations it is really great for ADHD and helped my son's Hyperactivity and concentration.  The Adderall XR also helped my son to slow his rate of speaking down so that you could actually understand him when he was talking.  Both of us talk very fast and a time it is hard for another person to understand everything we just said. 

I am also on Adderall XR and have only had the side affect of decreased appetite.  I am able to finally stay focused on one activity and able to concentrate more.  I have noticed that I daydream less when I am at a meeting or lecture and am able to concentrate on the person speaking instead of my mind wondering in 50 different directions at once.
