Current Events > Anyone use Adderall?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have no motivation to do ANYTHING. Only reason I work is because I have to. But I hear this stuff gets you focused on cleaning the house and all those important things. Also Im fat as FUCK and I hear you lose weight so easily on the stuff. Anyone have any experience with it?

I don't know about long term, but I tried it before and it made me super focused. It would only last like 2 hours, though. I decided it wasn't worth the cost.

Bump

Yeah. Itll get you going for a few hours. Just try not to form a dependency on it.

Maybe you have ADHD OP, I think I might have it and struggle with a lot of stuff and considering getting assessed, although stimulants can make things worse if you dont have it.

I know a girl who used it to study, she ended up developing some sort of heart problems and becoming underweight. Graduated top of the class though. Got into UofT.

Ive taken them before. fun stuff. Terrible come down.

are there any lasting side effects? like if I used it for a while safely and then stopped?

I've been prescribed dexedrine in the past and it's probably a road I wouldn't recommend going down.

It starts out great but has severely diminishing returns. I might recommend it for extremely casual use (like when it's really important to get shit done/Superman something or you have a major social event or whatever).. but nobody ever uses it casually, lol.

As for lasting side effects, it really depends on a lot of factors. Biology, the amount you're taking and how often (and for how long). It'll stress the hell out of your body and mind while you're on it, but I would hope that most of it would be reversible. Coming off it, you could expect to feel depressed, anxious, hungry/regaining weight, easily fatigued, often tired, unmotivated. It shouldn't cause brain damage or whatever when taken in prescribed doses.

Edit: The above shouldn't last forever, either. Weeks to months depending on how long you took it for and if you abused it or not. Your brain chemistry will eventually adjust.

Edit again: There's also cons. It'll likely numb your emotions, remove your personality, and sometimes the laser focus will backfire and you'll find yourself wasting your entire day on stupid, pointless shit that you can't seem to break away from. I would strongly recommend something milder or an alternate, more natural approach.

depends how much you take and how often. it's very addicting

I took it every day for 2 years cause I was working 80 hours a week then stopped cold turkey for a while. I basically had to force myself to eat when I took it, I was immune to weed and alcohol, and smoked way too many cigarettes. sometimes it gave me anxiety or the shakes, and I'd grind my teeth a lot. and sometimes I couldn't sleep at all even if I only took 25mg. there was one weekend I was up for like 75 hours and started hallucinating.

and also it took like 2 hours to deed

I been there. It's wild. I was so zoned into Dark Souls 2 that I played 100 hours in 5 days. At one point, I looked at my couch and imagined someone sitting up underneath a pile of blankets and turning their head towards me. I think the same night, I went into my kitchen in the dark and the timer on my microwave seemed to somehow be constantly moving upwards but somehow never leaving my sight
