So people are telling me at school that I don't show emotion. And this makes me really self conscious and I Find myself forcing to show emotion. I wonder if its from the adderal xr that I am taking? I'm not really sure but Id on't get it. I don't really like the people i go to school with because they get on my nerves adn are just annoying and immature. I've got 9 months of nursing school left so its not too big of a deal for me. But I'm just wondernig if this is a side effect of the meds? I really like how the adderall is working fo rme but I don't like this emotionless that I seem to be getting from it. I never noticed it until an instructor brought it up to me but now I think about it alot and I wonder if i really am like that. Is this a common thing that happens with adderall?

I guess its making me too seroius? When I was on strattera.. which i think stopped working i would joke around and kid alot and wouldn't take al ot of things serious which needed to be fixed.. i almost failed school because of that. But now sometimes i think im too serious. Will this go away with this time or am i goign to be seroius for the rest of my life?

I am the type who is bouncing off the wall... I talk too fast, have to many topics at once, ect. The only thing that my family and friends have noticed is that I'm more calm now. That though, seems to be a good thing. My pscyhologist said that the majority of his friends could tell he was taking something because he was less interesting compared to his usual off the wall sense of humor.

Are you currently on adderall? I had a good sense of humor before but now i really don't. I laugh at things but it seems like its forced? Its hard to explain. I really like the meds effects other than this so I really hope i can figure out whats going on or this goes away with time.

Yep, Adderall... If anything I can sit back with my "good friends" and still laugh and have a good time. I feel it's taken me from being uptight and serious to being relaxed. I think it'll affect everyone differently.
