I have ADHD, but not a common diagnosis. My experience is quite irresponsible - it is believed now, that I have had ADHD all my life and it was never diagnosed. The problem is that I 'slipped' through the cracks all throughout my time in school, including college.
So I have been completely oblivious to a problem that I learned to suppress or deal with. So about three months ago my mother finally suggested that I may have it and I should go to the doctor. So I found out that I displayed many a symptoms of it and I was put on Adderall asap.
I cant say that it helps me think. The only change I feel is how my body feels stimulated. I can't say it helps me concentrate as my mind still wanders very easily. I also take Wellbutron (anti-depressant) so it may hinder or help it as well. There is too many factors to have poll or wide discussion - especially from those who dont have first hand experience. I definitely think both increase good mood, but as far as concentration - i give it +5 out of 10 to the thought process.
People that don't use it should keep their asses shut. Your breathing shit into the air fools.

i'd like to try it, but from what i can see its prescription only in canada, i could be wrong however. but frankly i have alot of things silimair to your stories so i think it would be worth trying. I jsut find myself zoning out constantly.

life isnt a competition with others, its about being as good as you can be. if the side effects are so bad that you shouldnt use it, (which I think they are, at least if you use it often) then don't, and consider yourself better off, if the side effects are less bad than the positive it brings, then use it yourself..

Jibba, what do you think about cigarettes? That's a mental stimulant.

I've never thought of telling my coworker that he's being unfair AND stinky (hate working with smokers; always taking free breaks and smelling shitty).
People who fail to distinguish Socratic Method from malicious trolling are sadly stupid and not worth a response.

ok I can understand that you do not like people faking a disability to get an advantage when it comes to tests. what I do not understand is, disliking people using adderall to get an advantage _while studying_. this strikes me as no different than drinking coffee to stay up longer.. if you think it gives them a genuine advantage, use it yourself, if you feel the side effects are too severe, then the ones who "cheat" are going to feel the backlash anyway.
if you dont want to use it because it is illegal to use without having adhd/add, but you would use it if it were legal, be angry at whatever causes the illegality rather than those who "break the law"..

Cigarettes/caffeine aren't even close to the same level, especially once your body adjusts and your performance decreases without having them. If something offers enough of an advantage, it almost becomes a minimum requirement for everyone to stay par, like we saw with steroids in baseball.

I'm not even just talking about using it to study. Tons of people take it because they wouldn't be able to finish the test in time without it. The intention is really no different than faking the disability to have the time limit removed. Then it's no longer a judge of people's ability because they're certainly not using it any other time.

Yah but taking a test in a certain period of time doesn't mean you will know everything. It's not like Adderall makes you smarter.

You're right, and I still don't care either way. I've never needed it and I will always look down upon people who 'rely' on this miracle pill to succeed in things that are so easy like studying for a test. ADD and ADHD is just made up disease and the pill is just as bad. If parents actually spent the time being parents maybe there wouldn't be children who relied on pills to perform simple tasks that develop during your adolescence.

ADHD isn't really what it's made out to be by the APA and others. But Adderall being a dextroamphetamine is a psychoactive drug far from being a placebo, while it is not as effective as pure dextro or metamphetamine but it sure does it's job.

So you believe that distribution of adderall is a good idea, as well as the diagnoses of ADD and ADHD?

I speak for myself. And in my case, yes, definitely.

Do you think all people have the same neurology? That all people think and feel the same way?
