Is it normal to feel kind of like a loner and not want to be around people or your friends when u first start taking adderall.. esp. during the comedowns? I read somewhere that its normal at first and will eventually go away... is this true?

You're probably just feeling a little bit of depression. This is a common side effect.
If it doesn't go away in a couple of weeks, talk to your doc about maybe raising your dose (unless, of course, you're already planning to "step up").

..definitely tell your Dr. if your depression does not abate or gets worse....

you know I'm new to adderral too, and I feel a little odd about seeing my friends, and meeting new people. But I think it's just the idea, like this experience of being on this drug is new, and I'm not sure how I'm going to act on it.
But of course when I do see my friends its the same, and when I meet new people i'm the same as before.
Sometimes the idea of seeing people and them pulling me away from my task that I'm SO VERY ATTACHED too now (due to the meds) makes me hesitant.
I think once I get used to the meds, get used to the idea that I DON"T HAVE TO DO IT RIGHT NOW, that I indeed will get it done (I used to be so desperate to do thing right at the moment I had the desire, because I was afraid that I'd never get it done otherwise, but now with med help I know that doing the thing is more of a choice I can control)
Does this make any sense at all?
