I started taking adderall for ADD while in college. I still failed miserbaly in college (cuz i didnt care about my classes) but the adderall has helped me focus significantly.
However, I believe the root of the problem is that I never cared about what I was doing. I can focus just fine if I really, genuinely care. I bet you can too.
The problem is, at least for me, I have a lot of trouble telling what I genuinely care about. I have a tendency to try to convince myself I care about things, and after a while I believe it, even though it isn't true. Does that make sense to you?
Anyways, I think this points to a problem in society more than a problem with us. IMO
I don't plan on staying on these meds for too much of my life. I need to learn how to be happy and live well without them. At some point I will have to sit down and tame my mind.
if for some reason u want to understand my situation more this elaborates on it quite a bit:

From kindergarten up to mid 9th grade I was a total retard, literally. I was the worst thing a person would ever be in his entire life. I got horrendous grades all the time, I wasn't attractive at all, I didn't have any friends and I was extremely immature. At least an ugly person in school can be a real genius and the top models be extremely dumb. But no, I was both!
Then something happened. God knows what. But since mid 9th grade up (after I horrendously failed a test) something got in me. I suddenly became really good at pretty much everything in every course I took. I became the genius of the class and everybody was always asking me for their help on whatever.
I grew up and changed physically (I developed really late for some reason; first ejaculation I ever had was when I was a freshman in high school =S) then chicks were digging me while I was still being amongst the "smart people" in the school. I felt good, and got laid for my first time by one of the hotties everybody wanted.
Right now I'm shit with girls for the fact that I want a serious relationship, but I'm still doing really good academically (not really genius but at least high above average) as I just turned 20 yesterday and I'm currently a Junior majoring in Computer Science and going for my PhD.

Well, that's kind of what I thought before, and having thought I had the motivation to do well in school I thought I could do without the pills. That's the main reason why I didn't use them for so long because I thought I could handle it by myself. Having tried both ways I don't think going without pills is the right option in my case. The problem is that no one has absolute motivation in any task, even in the tasks that they love. In the perfect world maybe, but reality is never ideal. There's also a lot of places in life where you simply can't be motivated and you'll naturally be disinterested, in those instances you can't help but be distracted. I've met a lot of people with ADHD in my life and some of them refuse to take pills thinking they can deal with things on their own, what ends up happening is that they let the ADHD control what they want to do in their lives because they cater to them by doing things that "work", what they fail to realize is that they are denying those others things that they would actually enjoy a lot more if they didn't have ADHD in the first place. Pills aren't really a big deal. Many people have taken them for their entire lives without any complications arising. Some diabetics need to take insulin shots to survive, a person with severe ADHD needs to take pills to function in certain tasks. What I do know for certain is that without these pills I wouldn't be doing this well in school, and the troubling thing is a lot of people out there are suffering because they want to go the "natural" route, or some other reasons that are based on weak assumptions. Really the pills improve all areas of your life, for instance, before I couldn't even pay attention to a conversation I was having with someone without getting lost, you can imagine it was difficult to be in social situations.

i started slacking in 7th grade and havent stopped. i will be bagging your groceries in the future.

I dont know if my lack of motivation to do well in school despite apparently being capable of it is a reason to take adhd meds. i kind of want to try it just to see if it will help me actually sit down and study.

Your OP is quite grammatically correct.
By the way, what was that picture for?

HAWT
my story ... i'm far too unfocused in school but i feel like it's too late to turn things around at this point. had i gone to the school all my smart/motivated friends went to... different story forsure :\ i wish i were a freshman again and studied harder!

I seem to be able to get good grades, but never the top grades. I need to maintain a 3.5 gpa in my University years and I'm scared I won't be able to make it. Mostly due to some laziness, procrastination, and boredom. Plus I have to take Calculus and I am not strong in Math at all.

i was diagnosed with aids a few years bad, turned out to be a false positive.

I was the same way. Finally during grad school I decided to go get diagnosed properly and surprise! I had adult ADHD. I used to have 3 hour long back to back classes on certain days and adderall was the only way I was able to concentrate and absorb what I needed.
I'm sure I could have done better in undergrad if I was on them.. but then again not - even with the pill, you need teh determination to actually care about what you are doing. The drugs won't make you sit down and study, but it will help you concentrate. Thus, if you take the drug but still don't make the effort to study... then you'll be playing Starcraft for hours on end in a very concentrated manner. ^^

I was going to write a long boring story, but then I decided I spare everyone (mainly my self) the time.
TL;DR
Dumb --> Adderal --> Intelligent --> Socially Retarded --> Marijuana --> Job --> Girlfriend.

Weird. Marijuana makes me incredibly more quiet. I also get really paranoid. Can't stand the stuff.
