I was on Adderall (now on Vyvanse due to shortage) and I experienced the facial tics as well. I noticed my symptoms got worse if I hadn't eaten in a while. Eating regularly was sometimes tricky due to the side affect of low appetite, but it really helps.

Extreme appetite suppression. I need to set reminders to remember to eat, and if I forget, become incredibly hungry, irritable, and unable to executive function my way into preparing a meal when my meds wear off.

I take 10mgIR in the morning and 10mgIR in the afternoon. There is appetite suppression, but not bad. The strangest side effect is sleeping in on the weekends--before Adderall, I hadn't been able to sleep past 7 for many years. Now, I can easily sleep until noon. There are much worse side effects, but it's bit annoying to waste a good portion of my day off sleeping.

Adderall, 20mg once a day when I wake up, no side effects other than lack of appetite. On Vyvanse, I had rapid heartbeat and jitteriness, and in some ways it made the “squirrels” even louder. I also had appetite suppression, but it was more binary and off/on than Adderall and the binge eating was harder to control as the day wore on.

I’m also sleeping better with Adderall vs Vyvanse.

I’m sorry to hear your side effects.

I stopped after briefly going on it because it really suppresses my appetite. Which I'm already a skinny guy, so I don't need any more of that. It also made me really jittery, probably because of the combination of coffee.

I try to avoid stimulant meds now since they feel addictive to me. But don't let that discourage you from doing what works for you.

I just started Adderall 10mgER last month after trying Straterra (25mg->40mg->80mg) to no success. The biggest side effects I have noticed are hyper sexuality, the sensation of sounds peripheral to my current activity being "un-muffled," and a lack of instinct to go to sleep (not the inability, I just have no drive to get into bed, turn the lights off, and close my eyes. Once I am there, falling asleep is easy).

I also have noticed a flip in how it impacted my appetite. At first, I just wasn't hungry at all and was actively reminding myself to eat. Then, out of nowhere, I became incredibly hungry and painfully aware of it.

All the other notable stim effects fell off pretty quickly; no more jaw cleching, fidgeting, or sensory overstimulation.

I’m on 5mg ER and had minor side effects. Initially I couldn’t get a boner, but it also made me insanely horny almost in a deviant way. Masturbated like 4-5 a day in the first few weeks. That all went away thankfully. Some teeth grinding and dry skin stuff, that all seems to be getting better but those side effects lasted a lot longer, probably about a year or two. Haven’t upped my milligrams, still works three years later
