Adderall
Who's on it?
I have been on it for three months now (prescribed), and the shit has been life changing. So much more focused and motivated. I know it gets a bad rep, and is widely abused, but I think the pros outweigh the cons with this one. What say you? |

When used correctly and balanced--all good.
Tough to find that balance on a middle school student. Glad it is working for you.

My advice is that less is more, and always take brakes from its use. For instance, don't take it on weekends, only take it 3/4 weeks per month and in low doses. Reason is that taking amphetamines can put aggregate strain on your adrenal cortex making you experience stress and anxiety. Under extreme pressure, these symptoms can grow to paranoia and amphetamine psychosis. Bottom line, look into some vitamins you can take at night to replace your adrenal hormones so that years of use doesn't negatively affect you. |

I have been thinking about it but have no idea how to ask for it. I dont do drugs at all and I think just asking might make my Doc think weird things. Curious, how did you go about it?

I have dealt with depression for about ten years. I am currently on prozac too. I just brought it up to my doctor that I was lacking energy/motivation, especially in the winter months. So we gave it a shot. It has been great. In my experience the instant release version works better than the extended release. I am currently on the extended, but will mention to my doctor about getting back on the IR.

Ive taken Modafinil on rare occasions and it also is much much safer than adderal. Adderall feels literally like you are on drugs. Modafinil doesn't, it just gives you a general sense of wakefulness & concentration.

No different than your regular ol Joe street dealer, except FDA/DEA make it legal. I dunno what's gone on in your life to make you take those drugs or become depressed...we all have issues, but you know what snaps you out of that....eating better and exercising. Having sex will help too.

I respect your opinion. I do need to work on eating better, and yes exercising helps lift your mood. However, I have tried getting off the meds and just focused on exercising/eating healthier. Simply doing just those two things doesn't work for everyone, if you have a chemical imbalance. Especially in the winter months, when SAD occurs. Prozac has been a life saver, Adderall has also helped tremendously. Everyone is different tho. |
