: Janet,

: I've been on Adderall for a couple of weeks. I had a good initial reaction with focus. Recently I've been really irritable for no reason. Usually introverted and soft spoken, I am feeling pretty assertive (almost agressive). Is this a possible side effect?

: Roel

Well, I've been on the adderall almost 3 months and I can honestly say, it has been a blessing, so far. I have a phobia of doctors and pills, but a history of addiction. I have quit recreational drugs, cigarettes, depressed feeelings, guilt, being overwhelmed, how bout it for adderall.It does not cure life issues, but it helps to take those issues in stride. My fear is will it ever quit working. It is a fairly new drug for add'ers. We'll see. Roel, as for being irritable, good for you, I was irritable and now Im much more calm. When the drug wears off I get cranky, that might be part of it. Thanks for listening, Nathan
