Ive been on adderall for about a year now and at first it was great and i was all talkative, but now i feel like its making me a robot or something. I have no emotions except afterschool when it wears off, i used to have a sense of humor in school, but now i cant say anything funny, i just listen. I dont realize the affect of it till afterschool, and i notice my personality seems as if it is slowly going down even after school cause i dont really have much confidence cause of it. I take 20 mg and i thought that upping my adderall would help, but it didnt do anything but make me concentrate a little more. It is really depressing to know that i just recently how bad adderall has been on my life in high school. When I get home and stuff I think about how many people i could be friendly and friends with, every laugh i make is pretty much pretend. One day when i didnt take it i laughed aloot and my school day was actually fun for the first time. When im on adderall i feel like i dont wanna go cause theres gonna be people i cant be myself around, and im not usually hungry. Should i start taking anti-depressants or a different prescription? This has been happening to me for a very long time.

Do you have a psychiatrist that you see? If so have you told him/her about this?

ADHD and depression tend to go hand in hand.
Do you think you could be depressed?

Because these ADHD meds can work differently for everyone, it's possible it could be Adderall, but it's also possible that it's not.

I'd definitely talk with your doc about this, discuss the possibility that it's the Adderall and if you think you're depressed, definitely mention that.

Best wishes!
