My online friend had a co worker with autism that gave him their adderall cause they believed they didn't need it. Because finals were coming up he accepted them and popped one pill. Bro said he hasn't been locked in so hard in his life. He couldn't sleep for 2 days, just constant focus and need to do work.

Because of those people ADHDers face problems with availability due to shortages and are treated as drug seekers 😒

I had to take adderall when I was in middle school. I just hated it cause it killed my appetite and it made me super tired. I guess it worked just speaking to my parents grade wise, but I wish it’s something that I never had to take.

For people with legit ADHD the side effects of meds are much more favorable than the side effects of having ADHD.

I started adderall XR yesterday literally it did nothing to me but increase my heart a tad bit and make me fall asleep 😅

It’s not illegal to take, just to possess.

Plz tell me can it really help me study longer n help retain more information

I take the meds and when I have to studies or important paper works I had convince my self that's important and one I sit down then I can focus on it but if I walk away then I know I'm gonna do something else. I wish I could have that hyper focused but I'm glad I don't cause that looks stressful 😅

Yes it will release dopamine, which will habituate you to things (make you like studying for ex)

This is obviously helpful for people with ADHD who don't like studying, who can then be habituated to liking it

It works exactly the same way in people w/o ADHD

Don't take too much or you'll downregulate your dopamine system/excitotoxicity

And don't take extended release, releases noradrenaline while you sleep

I used to take them, but I got sick from them and stopped

Yeah something I always tell people is, adhd meds are literally legal methamphetamines, if you take them when you don’t need them or more than you need you’ll have the same reaction a tweaker does after smoking meth

Ritalin is not Adderall. It is not an aphetamine.

Since Joe Biden came into office coincidentally all prescription Adderall has been unavailable nationwide for some reason. Yeah it may be side effects but the freedom of focus is PRICELESS
