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. | ||

My experience is quite irresponsible - it is believed now, that I have had ADHD all my life and it was never diagnosed.

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). | ||

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".. | ||

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). 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. | ||

It's not like Adderall makes you smarter. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

And in my case, yes, definitely. Do you think all people have the same neurology? That all people think and feel the same way? | ||
