I feel like I'd like to get off of it. but when I don't take it, my appetite is insane. I'm eating all day, and this is a big problem, I don't want to go and put on 150 pounds over the next 2 years , which I will.
I do have ADD, but I really don't see any benefit from adderall, after 1 year of use. maybe there is benefit that i just don't notice. but now all i really care abotu is teh appetite thing. i wonder if there's any harm to taking it 50% of the time. so maybe 3 days on, then 3 days off or so. is that a shock to the system and harmfull?

i was told i could take it or not take it. i refuse to "commit" to taking anything EVERY day if i dont feel like it :p

but since you've been on it a year, i wonder if you should just lower the dosage at 1st?

I don't take mine all the time.... most people do. It's just fine if you prefer to take it only as need be..... now from a treatment perspective most doctors would prefer you take it all the time but I say it's your body, you do what you want.
