dmvhonkeyIve just started taking it to focus on school and ive been programming for like 8 hours straight on the weekends. Is it bad just to do it once a week?
I take Bupropion for ADHD. I could take adderall but it has some really nasty side effects. In some cases it can cause pulmonary hypertension. There are better drugs out there to help you focus other than adderall.
I'd say no but I have a differing opinion about adderall and drugs like this a lot of kids in college take recreationally or to study.
I was medicated early on due to learning disabilities so I built up a reliance on it throughout my childhood and through high school. Basically it wasn't until starting college that I had to wean myself off of it entirely and feel fine now, but its effects over the long-term are noticeable. Appetite gets pretty ruined and you kind of have to force-feed yourself, Its hard to regulate motions or thoughts properly besides whatever you're working on. Like youre laser-focused and nothing exists in the world besides you and whatever your task is but socially and emotionally you're just a robot. Its not fun.
Just don’t rely too heavily on it. And remember to eat and stay hydrated cause the comedowns are way worse if you don’t. I just started taking vyvanse again after being off of it for a few years and I have to say I feel pretty fucking good when I’m on it lol.
RparrSame goes for MDMA. That is a horrible drug that most people think is totally fine
Thats even if you get actual MDMA. God only knows what kind of 2CE etc research chemicals they put in 'Molly' nowadays.
At CU I literally watched a kid nod off during a class presentation because he was up for like 3 days on Adderal. Some kid in his group had an prescription for it hand handed it out to everyone because they procrastinated on the project. It was crazy, it was a group presentation and he spoke first then kinda leaned against the whiteboard then nodded off. Even my professor took him aside afterwards to see if he was ok.
RparrI once did an amount that would kill most people and I didn't feel right for weeks. Shit was crazy.
I now know I'm not to be trusted with that shit
Anyone who has gone to enough Raves or EDM shows have seen at least one person carted off by yelling medics rolling their eyes with their tongue hanging out of their mouth. Not to mention the ridiculous stories of people chewing the fuck out of binkies and shit and wearing holes in the roof of their mouths. Seeing that shit just kind of sticks with you. Thats what is nice about bud, its the one drug that is impossible to OD on.
If you're buying it from someone you're doing it wrong. Adderall is literally the easiest drug to get prescribed for if you know how to describe the symptoms of ADHD.
Also it is pretty easy to find out if you might have adhd or at least a mild form of it. Then take that information to your doctor and say you might benefit from Adderall. The truth is stimulants have the most profound effects on helping with those symptoms but they're not for everyone and not everyone likes being on them as clearly mentioned by others in this thread. The question is do you really NEED it to get through your workday or to have a conversation without zoning out midway?
If you're just buying it to be able to be laser focused for 8 hours and program, I'd recommend against that man. That is how you develop a habit. Please refer to the NS link someone posted in this thread about stimulant effects.
You are doing a socially acceptable form of meth, kid.
You're basically drinking hydrogen peroxide on the daily you delinquent!!! Let's just start moving letters around in chemistry and pretending like small changes don't make a massive difference!!
I took addy in high school, was 5ft 10in and 135 pounds freshman year. Was 5ft 11in and 100 pounds sophmore year when my doctor decided my health is more important than my grades.
On one hand, I've been prescribed/tried 3 stimulants as a kid and currently it's recommended to me but I haven't really been interested in it because over time it really does make you zombie like. Everyone I know with a script fucking hates it but everyone who wants it loves it. So I guess thats pretty telling.
On the other hand, intermittently, it's fucking great. It does help with school, work, productivity and overall getting your shit together, but I've found socially it's terrible and would not recommend ever. It's not an "as needed" med - but if I could take it as needed I would 100% do it.
I've watched people self medicate with ritalin/adderall/vyvanse and literally get no where as their attention was on something not productive. They were more focused on getting high i guess. But I've also seen people thrive on it (which makes me think maybe they did really need it?)
OP if you're having that hard of a time with school - you might actually need it, in which case I'd say ask a doctor lol.
I'm on a less than average dose of Adderall for my weight I'm in 10th grade and I can't eat anything until like late afternoon. plus it really amplifies the effects of depression or anxiety

Have you ever tried non stimulant medication? Some Dr.s dont really try them and go straight to the stimulants but I've tried both addy and nonstimulants and I vastly prefer the nonstimulants

Except the chemical structure of h2o2 and h2o is way different. The structure of meth and Adderall is the same. It's the structure that allows them to behave very similarly. Obviously meth is WAY worse than Adderall, but addy still isn't something you wanna take unless you absolutely have to.

Yeah I'm mostly joking I honestly think the whole adderall thing is so ridiculous I get into some heated discussions with family members who have 1/2 of their kids prescribed. I want anyone prescribing adderall to an 11 year old to take some adderall one day and see how fucked they feel afterward. I know it allegedly affects people with ADHD differently than it would me, but people are throwing around ADD and ADHD diagnoses like its nothing these days and I genuinely believe a lot of these kids will be fucked up for the rest of their lives as a result.
I only really take it once or twice a semester if I get into a bind during finals or something and it always blows me away how bad my comedown is and how little kids are taking the same dose or more every single day of their lives. I get SO fucking heated about it psychiatry is such a sham a lot of the time. My best friend was addicted to adderall, went to a doctor, pretended to have ADHD, got prescribed.. guess what?? Adderall! Boom free adderall for him and he started doing it more than ever and ended up in rehab.

Yeah dude, adderoll/Ritalin etc. is gonna be the next giant lawsuit like the current opioid one. Over prescribed from shitty doctors to shitty parents that just want their kids easier to deal with. Medicate baby, pills for everybody!
CabbyArrantHave you ever tried non stimulant medication? Some Dr.s dont really try them and go straight to the stimulants but I've tried both addy and nonstimulants and I vastly prefer the nonstimulants
I take 240 mg of Ginko Biloba and 425 Mg of Siberian Eleuthero each morning and it really makes you energized and focused for the day.
