The one time that I abused Adderall was my senior year finals. It wasn't like I needed it or anything. What went down was that they were moving the school to a new building so they made everyone who had pill with the nurse pick them up the same day. What followed was ADD meds being handed out like candy. Here's how it went down:

Calculus: I focused so hardcore on that test that I didn't notice that everyone was passing my answers around. Epic cheat assist to loss of points

Orchestra: This one was a little more difficult because I normally have to focus on more than one thing at a time

Physics: I crashed here and had a panic attack at my desk. Chewed through a pencil.

In hindsight? not really a good idea. If you are going to be bad try it out in a situation that is safe for you so you don't fuck up your shit.

I think the side effects for people without adhd are potentially so harsh and unpredictable that you dont wanna dabble in adderal. it probably doesnt affect you permanently if you take it every now and then, prolly not until you've done it like 50 times, but you're either very lucky or kidding yourself if you take it that often and end up not being affected. I think for people with adhd, the long term side effects are not explored sufficiently, but the increased value they feel they get out of life is most likely worth it.

and adhd is obviously a real diagnosis, even if it is given too often, and adderal is obviously not a placebo drug. it's downright retarded to disagree with either of those statements.

I was obviously exaggerating. I just find it hard to buy all the morons who "claim" to have ADHD and need adderall just because everyone buys into that silly theory these days. It isn't that common, and doctors are over diagnosing and distributing potentially dangerous drugs.
Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

I have an ex-friend who was diagnosed with ADHD when he was a kid probably took ritalin, by the time we were 15-16 he started doing meth and hasn't stopped as far as I know (25 now?). 98% of Tweakers are fucking shady people.

btw, is there a big difference between ritalin and adderal?
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

There is a run on diagnosis like ADHD. Nobody wants to be called stipid. So they are looking into other things that could be wrong with them to save face. Proffesionals go along with it because it is the politically correct thing to do. It is the everybody is special cultural trend.

BTW I'm not claiming ADHD is not real. I know 2 people who are diagnosed with it and they are different. Without Ritalin they are unbearable.

i've done it once studying for a final and it was basically like game genie for cramming. I studied for about 7 hours without losing focus but I wouldn't really do it again even given the choice.

Placebo drug eh, you really know how what ur talking about.

If adhd isnt real howcome people that "have it" get the oppsoite effects of people who dont have it? i.e if u have adhd and u take it will calm u down and make u focus if u dont have it and take it will act like a speed and actually get u high.


maybe he just sucks at communication and meant to say that adhd is diagnosed for everything now. because he'd be right in that statement. but certianly, it aint a placebo.

sorry mora


and who cares if someone does or does not have adhd
what matters is what the adderal does for them and how it effects their body and mind

some jealous people who can't identify with situations they are so judgemental of, yet the way they talk and act about it would make it seem like they went through it theirselves.

acting like you know what its like in someone else's shoes, it's pathetic

Drunk Thread and High Thread aside, I don't think we should be supporting the abuse of amphetamines. I'm sure it works wonders for those who are prescribed it correctly, but it is not to be used as a vessel to accomplish school work. Don't be pathetic.
Hell is other people.

can people give examples of adhd behaviour in real world setting (ie at your job amongst coworkers)

i have super hyperactive mind that makes pretty much everyone think i'm weird to some degree

(extremely open, spontaenious "unusual" ideas/observations that i constantly vocalise, intense need to talk to everyone about everything, often in totally inappropriate circumstance/to inappropriate people, if i see someone i "like" (just a coworker at work for instance) i might start running up to them and jumping up and down behind them saying their name repeatedly, will do stuff like draw over the veins on my hands just because it's interesting to me as one of a zillion examples, etc)

i'm very interested indeed in trying adderal (or a local similar since i don't think they sell it here) because i think if it works for travis it might work for me (altho i haven't really spoken to him about it or know him well, i just get the impression)

I was unable to simply listen to people tell me how to do something. literally every 10 seconds i would space out for a little bit, or forget what they just told me. this is one example, there are many many more.

it didn't happen all the time though, just sometimes. sometimes my brain would be working better than other times.

It is for people with jobs

You've described over and over how you actually need it. It honestly doesn't bother you if someone whose brain functions normally uses it to gain an advantage?

hrm i don't think i experience that , people very often say "you don't listen!"/"did you hear me?" but i think i DO but don't show any obvious sign of response (i'm far more "subtle" than most "real world" people are used to when it comes to certain things). like if someone tells/asks me to do something i might just walk off to do it (but without a response). i think this is simply because i don't deem a response particularly necessary..

eh i realise this seems VERY contradictory to what i've previously written lol but maybe it is based on my current mood (sometimes eg i might be exclaiming "ok!!!!!" and literally running off to do the task). probably my behaviour seems very "confused" since i am often SEVERELY fatigued (from lack of sleep/terrible diet/alcohol combined with taxing job (12 hour shifts, very active and emotional job)
