What are Sup Forumss thoughts on adderall...

What are Sup Forumss thoughts on adderall? I've just been diagnosed with ADHD and my friend who also has it let me try some. I could relax and focus easier, and got a lot more work done. Is it that (((they))) are equating this pill to meth because they don't want us to be productive and recognize (((coincidences)))?

It will fuck your brain up permanently you dumb bastard and make your ADHD worse.

Do NOT take them or you will become addicted while your brain rots.

i took it while i was in school and regret it after i finished they wouldnt prescribe it and i felt like shit for a few months atleast

Well for one, it's an amphetamine-core stimulant
Why are we geekin out kids on speed??
I was misdiagnosed as a kid and tried all the ADD mess. Made me feel like I was the spawn of a bear and a cheetah
Probably not good for you

>Being productive with a pill.

user. I have adhd, and let me tell you that I'm anything but unproductive.

I work on a lobster fishing boat. I'm developing a video game. I like to make music in my spare time, I write fanfics, and I do a lot of digital graphics art. I also have small hobbies and habits which aren't just productive, but interesting. I know all sorts of information, and people think I'm smart.

I dont want adhd medication. This isn't a brain problem; it's just a different way of thinking.

Everyone who complains about withdrawals is a soft cunt whose problems extend far beyond the drug itself. Withdrawal is 4/10 for 6 weeks max

test drug 286 to cookie cutter children.

It's what every math chef around the world is trying to make. Except perfectly pharmacological my compounded in a lab. Congrats junkie you're a math addict now.

Vyvanse is much better. Much smoother release, longer duration, and it doesn't make you feel like a fucking demon.

They are awesome.

focus is like a muscle. adderall is like steroids. you have ADHD because you are a lazy fuck who doesn't like to concentrate.

been on xr for 15 months
advantages
>10 percentage point grade boost (biochem)
>stopped watching movies/tv; everything i do is somewhat productive -- research random shit outside of school like economics, politics, etc.
>MYGA'ing

disadvantages
>can't gain weight easily
>sleep only like 4-6 hours a night; but high energy all day
>can easily get caught up in pointless activities; like porn

i get like 6 good hours in ideal mindset, but wears off in evening where i would be at school and work. was maybe considering taking two half doses throughout day

>user, I have adhd
>I work at a Long John Silvers
>I spent at least 8 minutes dicking around in RPG Maker
>I jerk off to fanfics
>I (poorly) draw weird furry and rule 34 deviantart pics
>I also have a small penis and like to rub it
>Everyone thinks me smart, but really me just a higher plane of thinking cuz i know so much information

This dude is a moron.

You can safely take amphetamines and be fine.

Meth is more neurotoxic and harder on your body than adderall however

Use adderall for when it's needed and dont eat it everyday.

Brits are the word's dumbasses of drug use, using 500mg of mdma for the average brit mdma user.

>Use adderall for when it's needed and dont eat it everyday.

This is absolutely terrible advice.

Vyvanse is truly the limitless pill. Dat dere nrp104/s489 *drools*

Don't

I was on Ritalin for 11 years and find it extremely hard to enjoy anything or connect with anyone outside of my

It's slowly wearing off since I stopped taking them years ago but it still lingers, you'll turn into a zombie which will come across as boring and uncaring to other people

ADHD is just a result of no physical exercise

I am going through withdrawls right now. Its not worth it, I promise.

Adhd is what happens when retarded parents have retarded children. My oldest brother was autistic and bipolar as fuck, so he got put on them. Then all of a sudden all the kids in my family were put on pills. What are the chances eh? Everyone in the family having adhd.

Shits a fucking scam to make retarded parents feel better about raising retarded children. Just beat your kid ffs.

If you do, stay at a very low dose. Psychiatrist/whatever will probably want to max dosage immediately.
Don't let them. They are not your friends, just glorified dealers. Use them only as such and don't take their advice for shit.

(((they))) are the ones peddling this shit to kids. and the reason people compare it to meth is because it is an amphetamine, and most amphetamines effect the brain in pretty much the same way (with the exception of MDMA)

fuck with this stuff and you WILL get strung out the same as any typical street tweaker. you'll get skinny, twitchy, deranged and violent and probably start stealing shit

i am 37 years old and have had personal experience with this drug and other amphetamines and i know what i'm talking about

Don't don't don't. I have been off that shit for 5 years now, and I have never been the same. I am not being dramatic it actually sent me into a spout of anxiety and depression that took me years to get over. I still take anti-anxiety meds because of that shit. It made something in my brain go nuts. I can't explain it but I have never been as happy as I was before I started that junk.

So if I want to lose 15 lbs and I procrastinate I should start taking it?

How so dumbass. Obvious troll.

and OP, please believe me when i say that this guy is the fucking dumbass and this guy is redpilled

stay away from amphetamines

give cranking it a try after tooting 60 mgs, good luck stopping for the next two days

I love Vyvanse I wouldn't mind being addicted it's the best thing you can be addicted to. They should put this in the water instead of flouride. America would get back to work and stop being far lol!

just speaking from a few years of experience with instant release. I usually take a very small dose, 1-2.5mg.

I can do things I normally couldn't focus on...
>fixing/cleaning my air conditioner
>fixing my sink
>organizing shit
>playing golf or video games

I don't remember on it very well and only do it recreationally and not for work. I still drink coffee for work and that's pretty much all I need as far as stimulants. It's really good for me to improve things in my life but I don't really need it that often and try not to take it often so that I keep my tolerance.

I don't have any withdraw and I can go weeks without it, the only thing I get is the comedown after I take it which lasts a few hours... I don't think it's that bad unless you're doing it a bunch and in high dosages.. like any drug use in moderation and know you're on a drug when you're doing it...

So it's the drugs fault you're an addict?

is this if you're a normal lazy person, or just for adhd people

Amphetamine and methamphetamine are two different beast

Go with Ritalin, Aderall produces long term resistance and you have to keep upping the dose.

source: I have ADD

Like its sister drug Meth, Adderall (mixed Amphetamine salts) give an amazing boost to productivity in most individuals. From personal experiences I read of former Meth addicts it definitely seemed that the productivity increase was one of the most important factors leading to their addiction. Although Meth is far more dangerous than Amphetamine I don't doubt for a second someone could fuck up their brain and ruin their life with Adderall.

Yeah it's like the pill in the movie limitless at least as close as u can get to it

literally yes, because it's an addictive drug. however, i'm not an addict anymore. i gave that shit up over a decade ago and i want to save OP from making the same mistake. speed is degenerate

I have severe ADHD. I take one here and there. It helps me do work in a reasonable manner. I starthating myself if I take it too often though. Don't fall for the consistently taking it meme.

When my brother was 9 , a teacher kept complaining that my little brother would constantly get up from his chair and wanted to read novels instead of whatever fucking textbook they were reading. He didn't really have problems with concentration, he just likes reading Harry Potter books and was bored as fuck in school.
My kid brother for the longest time was prescribed to 30 mg extended release Adderall. Motherfucker would be up for days at a time , wouldn't eat and had anger issues like a motherfucker and would beat the shit out of kids in his middle school for no good reason. But it's okay because lol he can concentrate now. It wasn't until he was 15 and got into some serious health/mental disorders and beat a schoolmate to near death while going through psychosis/sleep deprivation that my parents finally stopped giving Adderall. And guess what? The psychiatrist was pissed and was trying to get my brother to continue taking Adderall while he was in a juvenile prison facility, even though he knew all the issues my brother had with that shit. In fact without him going to jail, idk how the fuck he would have been able to get off the shit.
At the end of the day, my brother dropped out of school because he was so burnt out by the time he got off Adderall he would not do shit at school. He can barley read to this day. He ended getting into underwater welding and makes very good money now, but still. Adderall took a very bright, curious, well behaved, mild mannered kid and made him into a speed demon because teachers were mad that he didn't want to sit in a seat all day.

There has to be an alternative solution than giving kids amphetamines.

nailed it

vyvanse is basically just adderal you dolt, there is a very inconsequential difference in the way its metabolized and released, but it is the same base chemical compound

also doing laundry

Guys if you are taking Adderall switch to Vyvanse its seriously some next level shit. All the benefits without the side effects. Way more smooth and effective.

>switch to Vyvanse
WEW LAD

BTW SNORT PAXIL

>he hasn't heard of modafinil

Legal meth. That's it. Legal speed.

Do you disagree? I just want people to treat their condition and better themselves.
I've actually taken modafinil and aromodafinil before and they only keep you awake. Doesn't do shit for ADHD but if you need to stay alert it helps.

Are you in college OP? Because if you are and you have a tough major like engineering, adderall and vyvanse are a Godsend. I only used them for studying for finals or if I had 2 hard ass tests on the same day. Saved my bum for sure.

I take Vyvanse everyday and its great

they're great i dont see any downsides

Don't do it man

there's prescription meth that's legal. it's only prescribed in cases of extreme weight loss.

ITT dumbasses advocating degeneracy. limitless is fiction. drugs will not increase your intelligence, kids. that's what books are for

oh and narcolepsy

everything is fine in moderation.

Adderall is the white man's drug

Modafinil only keeps you awake. You'll feel like a zombie in your mind even though your body will feel capable.

I know it's seriously like it boosts my IQ from 130 to 160. I love it.

>What are Sup Forumss thoughts on adderall?
>While on it
You are a superman. Mentally and Physically

>While off of it
You are useless to the world, if left to your own devices you will sleep forever only to wake up and eat to an extreme degree then go back to sleep.

Yes, I do disagree.

I'm just tired of it all for now. Apparently now there's this Flakka stuff making the rounds. I'm glad I was in the golden days when we just drank cough syrup and snorted K. Maybe you knew a guy who fenced you some rits or addies and your friends made you eat a xanny bar just to see what would happen.

Redpilled, don't get hooked on the circular jew

Yeah flakka is what they call a chemical called alpha-pvp I've seen people putting it in ecigs and shit and puffing before a test. At least with the prescribed drugs you know your dose but these idiots are inhaling unknown amounts of research chemicals

It has shitty side effects. My mate has severe ADD and has been taking pills since he was 16 to study. Weight and muscle loss, shitty mood in the evening, fucked up sleep routine.... He was doing well in the gym but lost a couplz of kg and his progress everytime finals came. Be warned op.

I recently read over a publication about flakka forwarded to me from a friend in Florida. It doesn't meet the standards for a publication in my field, but it is a legitimate publication of a single anecdotal case study, and my friend forwarded it within the context of coworkers basically telling him, "yeah, watch this stuff go where it's going m8." I'd link it except that the profit model for scientific studies is retarded like an occult society where you have to pay dues despite public funding.

Anyway
>amounts of research chemicals
Prescriptions drugs are research chemicals, too, and you're the research subject.

It teaches you how to study.
You need to want to do well for it to work.

I did. To keep up with the joneses in college I started taking aderrall. I was depressed and liked how it made me feel. So I decided to take more and more of it. Eventually I was talking to myself all day and was so inside my head I couldn't get anything done. I got off the meds and it was like I was in a daze. Eventually I started having panic attacks that didn't seem to go away. I went into a psychiatric hospital and they diagnosed me with bipolar disorder.

Don't take medicine if you don't need it

For the majority, it teaches you how to rely on it in order to study.

Most people most of the time just adapt to become dependent on drugs. That doesn't mean all drugs are bad, but it does mean that it is not reasonable to expect the best case scenario for most people most of the time.

Please only people who have experience with the drug reply. I'm not doubting some of the negatives from research, but I want to hear it from actual events that people witnessed and or how they felt while taking it..

I have ADD and hated being on the pills. I did not take them for very long.
I am better when I'm not on any meds. Learn to manage your brain without any drugs.

It's the equivalent of burning down your house because it has termites.

it'll make your dick not work. don't do it.

>implying anyone who has used the drug will argue against it

good addys are fucking strong, the time lapsed ones are whack.

The thing about stimulants is you eventually hit a point where adding more stimulants doesn't produce that thing you need to get the thing done that you've always been able to do. And at the same time if you cut it off to try to hem it in, you're just as useless. You reach a point where you're useless whether you take lots or whether you take none.

That's if you didn't notice any warning signals along the way. Try taking 2-3 weeks off at least. See if you can do it. Who are you?

Eventually, you'll have to quit whether you want to or not. If you do it early enough, you'll see that you don't know who you were while you were on it.

That's pretty disingenuous. Although the FDA isn't perfect and dangerous mistakes have happened in the past prescription medications do undergo rigorous trials. That tends to prevent things like, say, an aphrodisiac that damages DNA through one of its metabolites. I will admit you're correct in the sense that very few drugs are fully understood and there is always the chance of an unexpected/rare adverse side effect.

Forgot to add, that aphrodisiac was real. It was this old RC psychedelic drug called Foxy.

It's not disingenuous. I work in science myself.

It's about the money, honey. Some of it is good, but you're going to lose your funding if you point out the bad.

I would strongly recommend Dexedrine if you can find some. It's what people used for years before Adderall came out. I took it before everyone switched over, and switched back to it later in life.

There are only two flaws with Dexedrine: 1. It only lasts six hours in extended release form. 2. It is hard to get. National chains won't order it because it shows up as "dextroamphetamine sulfate" in their systems. Well what the fuck do you think Adderall is, you idiots? Alone it's bad, but mixed with three other amphetamine salts (Adderall) it's safe?! Gimme a break.

Dex doesn't numb your creativity like Adderall does. Johnny Cash used to stay up on this shit for days at a time.

The side effect profile is nil. Wanna take a nap? Go for it. Dry mouth? Barely, if you are "unlucky." Wired feeling? No way. Weight loss? Not if you take it with food in your stomach.

It deletes the ADD from your body for six hours. Feels totally natural. I'm on it right now and it feels like I'm on nothing, but my brain is working correctly.

Pretty much everyone on ADDforums agrees it is the "gold standard" of ADD drugs.

Just stay away from the Barr/Teva generic. They are literally Jewish and speed crank quality. All the other generics I've taken are fine.

This stuff is so worth tracking down. It is awesome and you WILL love it. No robotic feeling. No amphetamine side effects. Super fucking mellow come up and come down - sometimes you forget your second dose, it's so smooth and transparent. You're just yourself, at a peak you weren't able to reach for.

You sound like you're on stimulants.

How long have you been taking it though? And how consistently?

I wouldn't be able to do shit without adderall but that's because I actually need it and I never got shit done before I started it.

As an ex adderall addict I have to say

You WILL build a dependence to it

Using adderall will eventually lead to one of two outcomes

1. Eventually you won't be able to function without it and when you finally decide to get off your brain will be left a scatterbrained mess

2. You will become a longtime addict and your tolerance will eventually get so high that the highest legally allowed mg won't do anything for you but you'll have to take it everyday anyway in order to be able to function. The comedowns will also become hell at this point and you'll feel like shit whenever the drug starts to wear off.

Just do the smart thing and teach yourself to be motivated and focused the hard way, the way that sticks with you through life, because adderall won't

You definitely have knowledge on the subject and I enjoyed reading your posts.

I was perscribed 30mg Vyvanse. Not only did the positives fade away after about a week, but the crash was horrible. I was irritable towards everyone, felt like shit, and was incrdibly tense even after the drug wore off.

The better it works for you, the more likely you'll get addicted, and tolerance to this shit builds quickly. Don't wait until you're binging +100mg and skipping sleep every other night before you realize you're digging a very early grave.

t. recovering stereotypical finance cokehead addict

>very inconsequential

the entire reason it's different, "you dolt", is because it is bound to an amino acid which has to be broken off before it can pass through the blood brain barrier. It can't be snorted for abuse or anything because of that, and has a much more extended duration.

This. Seriously, when the dopamine is flowing it's very easy to just fool yourself into thinking everything is fucking great. Your perspective is skewed as fuck. Again, how long have you been taking it?

all my druggie friends took ADD meds when they were young

who's to say what the connection is but there seems to be one to me

Withdrawal.

I've been there too. Adderall is fucking tough to come offafter taking it for years.

>2. You will become a longtime addict and your tolerance will eventually get so high that the highest legally allowed mg won't do anything for you but you'll have to take it everyday anyway in order to be able to function. The comedowns will also become hell at this point and you'll feel like shit whenever the drug starts to wear off.

I met a guy like that in his late 50s once. He'd made bank as an adjunct to Wall St. and then, for simplification purposes, let's say lost his family. He quit it cold and just turned into a zombie.

His wife got me aside to ask about him, since she was worried, and also felt eternal guilt about drugging her children. All I could say to her was that her best bet would be to let him crash for a year straight, because that's the timeline for initial recovery at a neurotransmitter level.

Snort a few 20mgs and tell me that's any different than meth. Spoiler alert: it's not. Enjoy having a crutch for life that rots your brain, faggot.

Listen here you fucking purist faggots.

We have evolved to the point where we can edit the DNA that goes into a fetus with CRISPR. We have evolved to the point where an artificial pancreas can be smacked onto your side with a line of insulin going into your bloodstream. We have evolved to the point where a dude can carry an artificial heart in a backpack on his back.

The future will inevitably be mechanical. But for now, we can also manipulate our biological functions with drugs. And why shouldn't we? If I can take a drug and be 15% smarter for 4-8 hours a day, why wouldn't I? Especially if I am in a profession that is based on intellectual capability rather than physical.

Steroids, nootropics, who gives a shit as to whether they are "degenerate" or not. I am going to be more physically fit, and smarter, than my genes would otherwise dictate. You fucking faggots keep it natural and stay squarely in my wake as I make enough money to support 5 kids and fund any organizations I think are anti-kike.

Do you ever finish anything? My experience with people with ADHD isn't that you are not productive it is that you never finish anything. I have two business partners and my primary job is to pretty much follow up on all of their tasks/projects.

Don't do it OP. I'm friends with a girl at my college who takes it for ADHD. Everytime she's on it, it's very difficult to get her attention and she basically turns into a zombie when doing schoolwork.

Sounds like my "ADHD" friends. They're brilliant, but they can't ever accomplish anything.

The drugs don't seem to be effective.

30MG doses should be reserved only for the very worst cases. These fucking doctors man. If all you're REALLY trying to do is focus, you probably don't even need 10MG doses unless your ADHD practically makes you disabled. It probably doesn't, most people who think they have it are just slightly screwed up by their phones and shit.

>Dexedrine
how to find?

Uh.. you're not supposed to that for a reason...
20MG is quite a lot though, way too much for most of the people taking it regardless of route

Yup, that's early stages.

Wait until her personality fragments and she's not really herself on it and she's not really herself off it. She won't know who she really is.

Ya, let's see how long you last doing steroids and building an amphetamine dependence. It may seem great during the short term, but over the long term you are fucking up your brain chemistry, physical, and mental health. Keep being a tough guy drug addict, no chance that could backfire.

Been using it most my life. I also identify as redpilled. No big deal. .

I get lazy without it, though.

Tfw take 60mg every day

I take adderall recreationally sometimes. Helps me be more talkative, confident and social. Also took it when I had big projects, finals in college and had to pull all nighters. If you take adderall you have to remember to eat and hydrate if you don't you will feel terrible when it wears off.

I have ADHD (actually diagnosed by a real fuckin doctor not this tumblr nonsense) myself and adderall is a meme drug for shitty mothers to give to their normal children to fuck their brain so that they just want to sit down and do nothing all day so Mommy get railed by black men and not have to be a parent.

I take Strattera and it's better. It doesn't fucking unlock your mind or super-boost you like Adderall does, but it gets you through the day and at least makes you be able to focus (and also doesn't fuck you up afterwards). Start at a low dose and work your way up.
