pretty sure its temporary. But has anyone had this? i mean it is some hefty memory loss, I forget what Im supposed to do like 3 times in a row. If i was going to go to the fridge, id walk upstairs and walk around and forget. Then ill go back downstairs, remember Im hungry, then go up and forget again. and so on. lol. :))

Jeez. Are you sure it's the Adderal? Are you really speeded up on it, like do you have a million things going through your mind?

Could be dose is too high..... Try lowering it... I find I get forgetfull at high doses and fall asleep at really high doses.... I take a very low dose of stimulant....

When I'm worried about a lot which is most of the time I do this also attribute to anxiety and too many thoughts at same time in mind. Phillipa

Maybe it's too low then .... LOL...I am forgetfull and absent-minded without the stimulant (goes along with the ADD diagnosis right?)....Maybe you need 10? I take 10 mg adderall xr- well now vyvanse 30- which seems to be less irritating than adderall 10..... vyvanse 30 is a lot lower than it sounds..... just fyi.....

I think this happens w/ me. When I take it I forget some technical terms I use at work fairly frequently. Plus it makes me a space-case.

Umm, forgetfulness like that? All my life! With d-amp much less so, unless I'm trying to multi-task too much.
