Adderall...how do u feel about it? Is it helpfull?
Answer:
Well depends on what you want it to do. If you take it as a weight loss pill (some doctors prescribe this to extreme cases of over weight) then I would say yes it does. If you take it to help keep you awake that also works. And for concentration it all depends, works great for me. I get more stuff done on it than i ever would off of it. The same with all the people i know that take it. Also in most people it alters your mood. For me it makes me in a really great mood, hard to upset me but when I come off of it, it makes me sad and very irritable.
My daughter went from ritalin to adderal and it helped her, but she functions fine now without it as a sophomore in college without it. I am sure I would have been diagnosed ADHD as a child, if it were concieved yet. But I do believe that used in moderation, it has benefits. I hated medicating my daughter, but my wife insisted and she began to excell at school, her social skills improved and she was a force to be reckoned with at state-level golf.
Well if you have ADD otherwise it will give you an extended cocain-like high, and you will have an awful hangover on the second day.
My boyfriend takes this medication for ADD. I personally don't think it works, because he is still out in outerspace when it comes to his concentration. And , when he does not have his dose at the correct time, he starts to withdrawal, and then he becomes a complete monster. It is just perscribed amphetamines. And to be honest, I see no difference in perscribed amphetamines and ones you can get on the streets. This drug has made him a junkie, and if he was to try and go off of it, he would be in serious withdrawal.
So my answer is no. I don't think that this drug helps.
And God help all the people who are on it, like my boyfriend, because when the government suddenly bans this drug again, there are going to be a lot of junkies going through horrible withdrawals and perhaps turning to other hard street drugs to supplement their habit.
As a child (6 to 16 years old) I took many behavioral medications and anti depressiants.
Let me list the cons from my point of view
1. I have stains on my teeth the pills absorbed the calcium.
2. Everything is a bler, I can not identify with reality and what i see on tv or in my head.
3. When on these meds. I was always skeletal skinny. Now Im what they call plus sized.
4. I am not, emtionally unfit as a human. I do my best to show people how well put together I am but at home I am a mess.
5. I may have paid plenty of attention in school but in life now I have very little intelligents. I use big words to hide behind that fact really stupid.
6. I have alot of self-doubt, I am completely miserable from the long term side effects.
If I could say anything I would say dont do it. You'll regret it for the rest of your life. Dont take it, dont put your children on it, and please dont recommend it to anyone you care about because it will ruin lives and families. Trust me.
