i wouldn't go natural on this one especialy if you like your job, besides you might end up with some really good shit that'll have you sitting on the stove looking at the refrigerator for three hours wondering if there's anything in it

 

[QUOTE=s2000raj,Feb 18 2009, 09:39 PM]it's real.

 

Keep your hands off my speed bitch. It's the only thing that gets me through the day.

<-- 2 pots of coffee and 15mg of Adderall XR first thing. Breakfast of champions.

I'm confused by your first post. You think you have it but you are already taking adderall?

I'd recommend the generic non-XR version known as "mixed amphetamine salts" instead. I don't know what your co-pay is but the cost of the generic is about $5/month, probably less than your co-pay, compared to $300+ for the patented XR. It also allows you to better control your dosing. I found that I don't need to take it in the afternoon. Once my motor is running I can manage without the second afternoon dose. In Canada for some stupid reason I can only get the expensive XR one.

I also recommend you get a prescription for 10mg of Ambien. That shit will knock you down and keep you down all night. Again for some stupid reason I can't get Ambien or Lunestra or any of that class of nonbenzodiazepine so I just don't sleep anymore. Ambien is freaking magic sauce. You'll be out in less than 10 minutes and stay out until morning and wake without any hangover. Just make sure you take it close to bed because that shit is like a time bomb and you may not make it and find yourself waking up in the hallway. Don't make the mistake of taking it when you get up by mistake. If you do, you are screwed. Keep it in a separate place from your adderall.

If you are anything like me you don't sleep much and you can't concentrate on anything long enough to make any headway leading to a whole host of life problems and depression. You want to do stuff and you get all revved up and you're hot to go for about 10 seconds and then you end of staring at the wall or sharpening pencils.

Question? Do you find it easier to fall asleep after drinking coffee or taking adderall mid-morning or at night when you are physically tired or even bored?

I've been taking adderall for about 5 years. If I don't take it I get really bitchy and angry. Not sure if that's withdrawal or a symptom of the disorder. I got it following a very personally traumatic event I never really recovered from. I became so messed up for a long time I went through a ton of anxiety and antidepressants, even antipsychotics and mood stabilizers until I finally found a shrink who said maybe you've got ADD and prescribed by adderall. Bang! I was fixed. I could finally do things I wanted to and accomplish tasks I could muster the energy for before.

Is it real? I don't know but the treatment for it fixed whatever I had. It doesn't much matter. I've got control of my life back and that's all that matters.

PS. and don't mix with ADD. Getting high or drinking will make your ADD worse (temporarily). Stick to all stimulants or at least know what to expect from depressants.

 

whatever. just got to a doctor, give him the right lines, and take your amphetamine/adderall script to the bank. that shit makes anyone more productive

 

I was diagnosed ADD back in third grade, they put me on Adderal. Honestly, it did help, but then again it didn't. The adderal would make me focus, but on the entirely wrong task. haha

I just think that ADD is an overdiagnosed "disorder".

 

i think it is real but overdiagnosed, which gives a bad name to the people who legitimately have it. just my 2cents.

and adderal rocks.

 

I believe ADHD leads not to doing a lot of stuff in a day but in starting a lot of stuff, getting distracted by something and not finishing much.

It's sort of like this. You notice a light bulb needs replacing in the kitchen so you go get the bulb and come back to the kitchen when you notice the faucet is dripping. You put down the bulb to go out to the garage to get the wrench, when you notice the trash needs to be put out. You bring that to the curb and while returning you see you need to dead head some flowers. You look up and see the garage door is open so you go inside to hit the button. As you walk in, you see the mail from yesterday hasn't been opened. You open a bill and go to the computer to pay it, but before you go to the bank website, you check S2KI and start reading posts. So after all this activity, you still have a bulb out, the faucet is still dripping, the flowers still need dead heading, the garage door is still open, the bill hasn't been paid, but you managed to get the trash to the curb.

 

I would consider myself ADHD as well. In fact, I found out some friends referred to me as "ADHD" when I was not around. I am hyper, and get bored with anything inside of a few minutes.

I was never attentive in school but was able to get all the way through college with good grades and not much effort.

Its funny because if you give me material that I am interested in I can sit and read volumes of it and remember everything, but if you give me some poly sci gibberish textbook I can't get through a page. Thank god for blue book tests where good bs'ing still gets you an A even if you never read the homework!!!!!!


I have never tried a drug for any of it. I have gotten this far in life and been very successful, why screw it up.

 

This describes my days perfectly. I hate it, but I hate the meds to treat it even more.

 

Im the same way, i have to be doing something, i cant just sit down, it drives me crazy. I have never had a problem on focusing on a task or getting sidelined, like
you if its something im intrested in i can read volumes and retain it all.
