I've been on Adderall for about three months now. There are some things that I notice myself having to do. One is writing lists, To-do lists, lists, lists, lists, anything you could think of. I feel bad for the trees!! I'm also more OCD. Anyone do anything to an extreme on the meds and should I be concerned it will go further?

Sometimes the stimulants can increase anxiety. Maybe because they allow the brain to be more bathed in dopamine, as many ADHD'ers chemically are low in dopamine. However, some are on the higher end naturally, and increasing it even more with the stims leads to onset anxiety and OCD tendencies. They will likely go away after you stop or switch. Talk with your prescriber and let them know, you may need to switch to one of the non-stim medications or add another type.

Same here with the OCD. I find that Adderall makes me want to write a lot in general, at times to an obsessive degree. Also, Adderall tends to make people feel more need for structure and structuring of their thoughts, so lists make sense. This isn't necessarily a bad thing for some people, namely those who are on Adderall for the very reason that their thoughts aren't structured enough (basically another way of saying lack of concentration).

If it's occurring to an uncomfortable degree, you may be taking too much Adderall and/or consuming an additional stimulant. If you drink caffinated coffee in the morning, try eliminating it. If not, try lowering your dose of Adderall. I know that I have a "sweet spot" I need to find in my dosing; meaning that too little and I don't get enough effect, but too much and I hyperfocus and get obsessive-compulsive. You may just need to find your optimal dosage.

Sometimes, I just have to make myself stop making lists and start doing. It takes an enormous amount of willpower, but it can get a bit out of hand. I have found that all things adderall are much better when I eat. A LOT. And stay hydrated. I start to feel crazy when I don't have enough fluid or food.

Thanks for the input. The adderall actually decreases my anxiety, greatly. It is doing a wonderful job making up for my zoloft which made me gain 15 pounds. Weight is a big source of anxiety for me so why they dont work on these SSRI's that cause weight gain in a large majority of people, I dont know. On the positive end, it has gotten me to not be so OCD about my weight, and it also keeps me eating just the right portions. I used to get seconds too often and had to work out a ton to keep up with it.

Glad to hear that mainer! Sounds better now than when I first read your post. I guess being able to be more organized is not necessarily on the anxiety/ocd spectrum of things, could be just what you want and need! :-)

The endless lists you make...do you think they are things that are important to take care of, or mostly not so important chores you want to do?

If they are important things and you feel that by doing what's on the lists will improve your life and make it more enjoyable, I think it's a good thing you're making them. Now that your mind is more organized with Adderall, so will your life eventually.
I make lists too, and work on creating the right structure in my life so things flow easily and until that happens my mind is occupied with making that happen. Since I started Adderall, I have been semi-obsessing about finances and general discipline in my life, but I see this obsession as a good thing, since it was well needed. I was a slacker most of my life. Passionately starting new things, but losing interest fast or getting distracted by others. I had a hard time deciding things, what to study, job, career, goals, life. It was always so many things I wanted to do and so little time. And in the end I ended up doing what I thought was fun and that wasn't always an advantageous move. Something that led to more slacking and wasting time.

The lists I'm making are the lists that needed to be made through the years, but weren't made or weren't followed through. Maybe that's why your lists are long as well.

If the chores you're planning on your lists aren't that important, just a bunch of small things that you can do in time, but you're obsessing over them, neglecting the more important stuff, that might be a problem.
You can focus on one thing at a time with this med and you want to make sure it's done. You have to decide what's more important and maybe have two lists. Then work on the more important one, and then the less.
Paying bills is my most important thing, but it's easy to focus instead on reading something that I find informative and not take care of what's the most important. Although it's still something good for future, it doesn't require immediate attention.
I just catch myself and try to direct myself towards what needs to be done right away.
Glad to hear that you have lower anxiety on Adderall. I had to lower my dose quite a bit to not be so anxious. Even though a little less gets done now, I prefer the mellower feel of it. I don't like feeling the extreme physical effects of a stim (just like I don't like the feeling of too much coffee) but I like the mental effects for my ADD.
