Anyone take Adderall?

[Ronmeister]

I've been taken adderall since i was 10, so for 9 years now.Personally I can't stand taking it, as much as it helps me concentrate I always feel like its controlling every action and I cant stand it. I've heard of people that get addicted to this stuff, and I honestly can't figure out how.

Anyone else feel the same way?

Yeah, for a while I was taking way more than necessary to just get tweaked!

Usually taking 60-90mgs of XR and chugging an energy drink and 5-hour energy with it.

Found it pretty addictive to do, cause **** it was fun while tweaking lol.

I've definitely done my share of pill popping, it all started with addy back in the day.

But then after losing weight, chewing my cheeks up, and feeling SICK to my stomach every morning (granted I actually fall asleep), I chose to stop taking that shit.

I totally wasn't myself on it as well, it was controlling in so many ways.

That also played into stopping.

i always thought i might have a problem paying attention.... in my math class ill be paying attention and then ill be thinking about something random and ill snap back into and keep telling myself to pay attention but by that time i missed part of the teaching..
i dont think its a major problem but itd be nice to be able to devote my attention to math for the entire class.. its only 50 mins long.

OCC?

To me, I didnt feel like myself, I never wanted to talk to anyone, never wanted to do anything socially, It's hard to explain.

im like that right now.. i consider myself a pretty good looking and cool dude but i just dont care to talk to anyone or make friends.. i have a few friends but thats it..

every time i get new classes in school i tell myself i should meet new people but i never make the effort because i just dont care.. other people have to make the effort to get to know me otherwise nothing happens..

i used to be the exact opposite.. used to be very outgoing and talked to everyone..

i wonder why i changed..

It wasn't prescribed to me, but I took it a couple times during finals week freshman year. I was young and dumb. Wicked rush, great for memorizing 10 chapters in a night, but the crash afterwards is terrrrrrrible. I felt like shit for a week after taking a few of them.

I've been on it about 10 years as well. I go through days were I like/hate it. If i didnt have it though, I probably wouldn't be getting my degree in Mechanical Engineering or landing jobs at MIT.

For people like me with ADD or ADHD, it does help.

But i honestly cant see how people get addicted to it if you stick to how you're supposed to take it.

But making you dick shrink? HUH?

yea its a side effect, along with dry mouth. I cant even use toothpaste anymore when i brush my teeth because it gives me the worst cottonmouth ever

I had no idea. If i knew that shit 10 years ago I wouldn't have taken it.

I hope I wont have to take it for the rest of my life.

Edit: I just looked up the side effects, ED is a pretty rare side effect but I get about half the normal ones on any given day.

People who need it, it has a reverse effect on them... Example - If I were to take adderall id be flying off the walls like I snorted a Gram of Soft (Powder)... For people who need it it calms them down... I wonder if Powder calms people with ADD down?

Yes. would work exactly the same.

I was diagonosed with ADD when i was a teenager, about 15 years ago. I was prescribed drugs but never took them

A couple of years ago i felt that i was having trouble with my graduate work and get a prescription for ritalin. I took it 2 times and felt like crap so doing the teenager thing myself and another colleague snorted the rest of the bottle. I was in sweden at the time so i knew i could not get a refill there as it is illegal (AS IT SHOULD BE)

I recently felt that i should address my old ADD symptoms and went to the doctor. I told her i specifically wanted something non narcotic. I got a prescription. Have been on it 5 days so far and am hoping to have an affect soon.

The USA is FUKED up the way it over diagnosis kids and pumps this kind of drugs into them for years. We should be ashamed of ourselves. What.. to boost pharma shareholders accounts and give kickbacks to overpaid doctors? It is sick.
