To all that are about to voice their opinions...please try to maintain objectivity, because this is a serious issue I am not turning back from it any longer. I have had many problems over the past, I have been diagnosed with clinical depression numerous times, tried on numerous SSRIs ..etc stopped them b.c I didn't like how they changed me. On top of that I have been ADD for quite some time. I have dealt with it before college through lots of painstaking hardwork and combated my innerself to focus. When I reached college however, I found I could no longer do that, so I have been taking adderall, ritalin..etc. I haven't "Abused" them as I stay within my dose but I have had some BAD drug interactions. I stopped for a while but got back on. Although I don't have any heart problems since then I find myself taking amphetamine not just for the focus anymore. I can stop if i want but it seems as if I'm taking it for the feel goodness as well. I just want to know the opinion of others out there that have been on adderall or other ADD meds...their dose and if they have ever tried mixing and their opinion on them. I can't really see myself taking it forever, as I basically realized it is "Speed", but at t he same time I don't know how I can adjust to functioning without. I know this isn't crystal meth, which is a lot more dangerous, but it scares me sometimes to think that they are similar. I am on 20 mg Addrol and take 2mg rittlin w/ it sometimes. Is this far from meth? Or should I start worrying? Please don't post crap like you don't need it, go exercise, try focus, run around, blah blah.
Uh, wtf dude? Unfortunately, pharmacists and doctors dont have desk/office jobs where they can surf c.fans on their computers all day, so go consult a medical professional in real life. I don't think you're gonna get good advice here, unless someone's been through a similar situation and they've consulted a pharmacist themselves.
blah blah ??? blah blah c'mon man. srsly? i've probably heard more horror stories than the average person for obivious reasons when it comes to this stuff. pescription drugs are funny things with not so funny reactions if taken the wrong way (not as prescribed or mixed with other stuff). i'll go the dod route. if you've been "diagnosed" with clinical depression why not speak to your speak to your psychiatrist (not your primary care physician)?
Doctors (most) are concerned with making money. They prescribe things in excess, they sell the drug that gives them the biggest incentives, etc.. its all about making money for those guys. Someones personal advice is probably better, someone who has been through that. Studies, stats, research, its all slanted by major players in the pharmaceutical industry. You can't go jump in a pool with the sharks like the other drones.
Just to bring some of this back to reality The common meth single dose is .25g or 250mg They also inject it which means it is 100% converted to use compared to less than 25% for an oral amphetamine. Further, adderal has added salts which do two things, increase the time span over which the drug is used and decreases the amount of actual amphetamine in the pill. So a 20mg actually only contains 12.6mg of amphetamine. The salts spread the uptake out over time which means the peak blood levels are much lower than meth which is instant when injected. So lets compare, one hit of meth is 80 times the weight of a MUCH more powerful drug (it has a way higher protein binding %) taken in a way that gives a sharp peak in blood levels compared to a steady release. Stop being a baby.Coffee can cause higher blod pressure than a 20mg adderall

This is a r****ded post. Adderal is serious stuff, especially if you take it on a consistent basis. Beaner, right now the drug is controlling you. There's nothing in it for you if you continue, you need to find out what works for in terms of being calm and focusing at times. I am strongly against prescription medication for these cases, it's a situation where you need direction and the emptiness allows your mind to race and look for drugs. Start swimming each day. Masturbate frequently. Micro manage your diet - this is very important with these types of issues. Cut things like dairy, refined sugar and red meat out of your diet for a while and see how you feel. Slowly reintroduce foods and monitor how you feel with them. This isn't bigger than you *****. Drop out of college if you have to, you need to learn how to be content without medication.
Wow you seem to know so much more about "Adderal" than me. Please feel free to dispute anything I said. classy
I'd like a two page essay on the chemical content of Adderal, because that is decisive proof that it isn't a harmful drug and unique to each human that takes it. If fighter pilots take it to stay awake it must be safe, right? Terrible post.
Still nothing disputing my post on "Adderal"? Ouch Also WTF is chemical content? I could tell you the chemical with a picture that would not take up two pages. Also LOL at you thinking two pages is long for a paper.
There is an article at the Houston Chronicle website that says ADD can be treated with mar1juana (albeit I'm sure there are skeptics). It says some doctors where medicinal mj is legal are prescribing it to teens in some cases and some ADD kids' parents actually gave them pot brownies as a last resort treatment. Apparently, it has met with some success. In summary, smoke some dope and put down the pills. Wait...don't do that. I'm not telling you what to do. Or, am I? No...I'm not. Do I need a legal disclaimer?
