Adderall makes you manic and agitated. If you don't have ADHD, yeah sure, I've heard all sorts of crazy effects. You shouldn't be taking it, if it gives you the jitters or makes you tweak out or depressed afterwards. It makes me shut up, a rare effect, sit down and listen. I hate it taking it, but when I am on it is just about the only time that I can sit down and work through something for longer than an hour with full focus. I've taken it since I was 6. I am convinced that being medicated so early and for so long, has exacerbated my ADHD, but the decision to start taking it was not mine. I have never use my ADHD as an excuse for anything, but contrary to your modestly qualified criticism, it is a real disorder that constitutes more than a 'lack of attention' or a short attention span. Like many prescription drugs, Adderall has been given a dirty name by people who don't need it, but take it anyway, namely adolescents and college students. That **** was more illicitly available than alcohol where I went to school. My pharmacist told me that the DEA sets quotas, for the quarter I think, and that the local or state quota had been met so the distribution was, at least how I understood her, halted or severely diminished until the next distribution period, but that even then, because the demand was so high, that it might all sell off within a matter of days. I couldn't get any since July in the Houston area, but I was able to get brand Adderall at a CVS in San Antonio last week. Go figure.
I rarely take adderall, and like 5 mg too, it doesn't help me do stuff efficiently. I might just stare at something for like 10 min too and become really agitated, but I need some just for the morning sometimes. I will try dexedrine. and who said they took desoxyn? Thats prescription Methamphetamine at around 20% LMFAO. I wonder how you got a p-doc to prescribe you that...
believe me. I've become ADHD like yourself after use, and I started at a higher dosage, thats when it helps but you're screwing yourself over in the long run. At a higher dosage the stimulant high> overrides other things and you can concentrate better. But honestly, ritalin made me focus the best. But it turned me into an Antisocial workaholic psychomaniac. I did pull off the 3 straight hundreds on exams i needed to (this was when I first started using ADD meds). And the comedown was so bad I would feel terrible. Adderall made me feel like the **** at normal/higher dose, but a after a while I began to change and became less efficient at doing things. I don't think i really needed it even though i had a concentration problembefore but i did somehow manage to get ace everything . As I just recently got off I have to study everything over 4 times because I get amnesic at times and wander off into space but I'd rather take this path because I can't see myself on it forever.
That is not what I am saying at all. I am ADHD. Taking Adderall, at such a young age, exacerbating and accelerating the disorder. I did not become ADHD, and my use of the drug after I "quit" taking it regularly, around 17, is certainly the cure, and not the problem. I only take it now, in the morning when I have a full day without breaks, and the rest of the time I self-medicate with coffee and other things. Coffee is worse than the Adderall for me with the jitters. I am firmly opposed to medicating children under the age of say 14-16(?), with such strong medications as I believe it can make a child with mild ADHD become an adult with much more far-reaching, and debilitating ADHD symptoms.
