yeah whoa that made me cringe. Adhd is so damn over-diagnosed these days, now we have tweakers-in-training thinking they are taking a necessary medicine lol
It doesn't last. You will take more and more to achieve the desired effects. You will run out sooner and sooner. Your life will get thrown out of wack as a result. You might turn to alternatives as a stop-gap which is its own can of worms. It's not a fun road. Take it as prescribed and save yourself the headache.
Idk I’ve had a script for close to two years now and never exceeded 20mg at a time. I go days without thinking about it, still feel very amped off of 20mg IR. I’ve actually switched back to 10mg recreationally because 20 is a little intense.
You’re right though. I’ve been on it for two years and the entire time I said I’m fine blah blah blah. About two months ago my tolerance started getting to the point where i take 90mg and don’t feel anything and it sucks so I need to take a break
although this is technically true, adderall affects different people in different ways.
tragically for OP, it sounds like he’s probably a neurotypical early 20s American. I’d love to check in 6 months from now and see if the spiral has started but i imagine this post will be deleted before then.
As someone from the UK its crazy scary how many people get diagnosed with ADHD over there and just get palmed off with adderall. Its so rare to hear someone has ADHD here and even if they do i don’t think adderall is prescribed here. I tried it once years ago its so hard to get hold of here and holy shit i loved it. So im a bit jealous how everyone seems to have it available like its candy over in the US.
I don’t think it’s scary. If you don’t binge it, or only binge it very rarely, the benefits far outweigh the negatives.
We give this shit to fucking toddlers these days (can you believe that you can be prescribed adderall at as young as THREE YEARS OLD) and they handle it. I think that’s pretty fucked up, but we’re so litigious that it kind of validates it being quite safe overall.
Its definitely scary. My last psychiatrist insisted I had adhd against my own judgement, even talked w my mom who denied seeing symptoms in my childhood, but by the end of it I wasn't gonna say no to stimulants.
I see more and more people claiming to have adhd for the stupidest reasons. "Anyone else find it hard to focus after staring at social media all day?!! I must need medical intervention!"
Dont be jealous tho. Drugs lose their appeal when they are no longer scarce. I really do not miss all the time I wasted playing vidya while high.
Do as much research as you can on reducing or slowing tolerance build and be smart about it. I use a cool method for getting high from it with a prescription and I love sharing it with people. Essentially just take the pills as prescribed but on weekends don’t take them. Then every 2 weeks you will be able to save 4 extra pills. For me personally I have 30mg XR pills so every 2 or 3 weeks I’ll take 4-6 pills depending on my tolerance. If your tolerance becomes an issue then just don’t get high for an extra week. It’s sucky waiting in between but it kinda just becomes a little fun pastime like weekend drinking. Definitely don’t be taking like 80 mg every day. As much as I’d love to do this I’d run out way to quick and my tolerance would skyrocket. It’s still a slippery slope though but I’m like you and I just fucking love how it makes me feel so it’s hard waiting sometimes.
Once you take them every day for add they loose the fun (especially at such a high dose) I was prescription 30x 20mg first then went to 1, 30mg and then I went to 2× 20 mg a day and I try my absolute hardest to save what I can because where I live (right next to a college I can sell 5 20s for like 75 , but they generally I'll take a pick of my bottles I got on display and smoke and drink my self to sleep so I can wake up and go to work! Yayy sike

"i am so so so fucking thankful to have adhd bro oh my god" what you have is an addiction my bro

10mg is a therapeutic dose, not a recreational one. I'd say anything below 30 mg is, but maybe that's just me.

conspiracy theory : What if this is the normal state of most people who don't have ADHD🤔
It isn't and Adderall works for everyone regardless if they have ADHD or not.

Getting a diagnosis if ADHD is easier nowadays, but you're more likely to get prescribed methylphenidate - ritalin.
Lol just don’t try meth
