I was on Adderall XR for about 8 months and loved it. The analogy of the arm no longer being tied behind the back is exactly how I felt. I felt free for the first time in my life.
I heard about not taking with Antacids (which I was taking for the calcium… so I switched to taking Tums in the evening) I hadn’t heard about not taking with juice, I never did drink juice with it as I don’t drink much anyway… WHICH got me in trouble so….
May I STRONGLY recommend that you drink lots of water throughout the day? Since I was never a big drinker (of anything but my morning coffee) I ended up with a serious bladder problem because of the Adderall. Now I can’t take ANY stimulant 
VERY sad indeed as it truly did ROCK. I don’t blame the meds, though, I believe that I “took it wrong”. It was recommended that I drink more water while taking it, and I just didn’t so everything concentrated in my bladder and put little “holes” in the lining. 😥
I was also told by docs and on research from ‘net sites that taking with protein (milk/cheese/eggs) helps it work better/longer.
I am now trying Intuniv, but it’s not working as well just yet. It doesn’t work as fast or as effectively as stimulants.
