Re: Adderall increasing forgetfullness

[Anonymous]

My own experience in recently trying 5mg Adderall XR in the morning and recently 10mg ( note it is still early days) is that I am having problems grabbing names from the air, and occasionally forget where I am in the middle of a conversation. I’m hoping this is a temporary side effect. It can be embarrasing – say on a first date (makes me feel old and unintelligent when I cannot recall things.) What I do know about memory however is that it can be a self-fulfilling prophesy.

I have had troubles sleeping as well but feel like there are multiple factors to this. For the latter, reading before bed helps slow my mind down – as opposed to any kind of tech or TV. Also letting the Adderall run its course and staying away from caffeine after lunch helps. – This does bring up a question though – coffee feels good but tends to make my thoughts a bit more scattershot. Is caffeine something I should be looking to give up. Does it add to or take away from the effects of the Adderoll. I gather it does not work the same way medicinal stimulants do.
