wonder how many people will actually read all this and reply , haha
APPETITE SUPPRESSION? PLEASE!! LOL I NEVER GET THAT
i did get that when i first took adderall, for like the first week
for sure
but now, I get hungry regularily like if i didnt even take adderall.. Even like 3 hours after taking adderall. It's annoying because If i'm already on adderall and then i eat, its goign to decrease the effectiveness of it big time
so i aim to eat before or after taking adderall, but sometimes i just feel hungry while on adderall. so i just decide to eat anyway but yeah i definitely feel hungry no matter what i take.
GETTING ANGRY AND SNAPPING AT PEOPLE, HA!
That's another thing that when I read **** like that i'm just like WTF? i NEVER experience any kind of mood swings, no anger, off or on adderall
If i stop adderall, I don't ever snap at people, or feel like mad or anything like that.. I have really been observing the way I behave, ever since I found out i have add in jan 2007..
Or when people talk about rebounding and how during the rebounds things change or they feel like crap or they get angry or mood swings, I just don't get any of that..
Sorry im not trying to rub this in your faces, although i'm sure it looks that way lol
I must be lucky because I can't relate to any of this.. The only thing I can say is, when the adderall is wearing off, I can tell, and I can feel something in the frontal lobe region of my brain/head.. it's not a bad feeling, just a little fuzzy feeling kind of.. almost tingly, but not really.. sort of tingly like feeling.. but not in any way harmful or a bad feeling
almost like some kind of water is swishing around or something, it's hard to explain.. but that only lasts for about 30 minutes and then it goes away
especially if i eat
so i guess these 'rebound' or 'comedown' periods, are never bad for me.. Never!!
I WILL SAY THE FIRST WEEK, when it was wearing off, I felt some things people talked about.. Like, one guy said something about he was talking to his mom and then his mom said she had to go and then he felt almost like a sadness feeling.. like damn, she's leaving.. She has to go, she's hanging up.. It hit him with almost like a sadness type feeling.. he said it was brief but it was there..
so i wasnt depressed or feeling sad, but i felt something that was like border line "momentarily confused, pondering things with a sad theme to it"
It was just weird. but it only lasted like 20 minutes. Now, I never get any of that..
Never any anxiety or anything like that. I never ever feel that ****. Honestly when I read a lot of these drug threads, I feel like, half the time, the person has like (insert list of problems), or at least other problems that arent add.. Or takes other medication.. Seriously, how many people here have add and that's IT, no other problems, and take NO OTHER meds.. I'm sorry but it seems theres a lot of people here who take more than 1 medication and or have more than 1 'disorder' or problem.. and sometimes, I feel like, that contributes a lot to why things turn out the way they do for them, on adderall
But, I don't know for sure.. I don't know everyones story so I can't say that stuff for sure.. so i just let it go.. but i cant help it but feel like that sometimes, reading some of the weird *** **** I see here
The more variables that could affect the outcome the more complicated things get.. With me it's just so clear cut, I have add and that's that. No depression no anxiety no other problems. It's a lot easier for me to conclude something becuase I don't have to worry about other variables
when you guys talk about adderall withdrawls and how if you stop you feel that difference
when you stop you feel tired and all this weird stuff
I've never experienced anything like that
I don't feel any side effects
Sometimes I don't even take adderall, and i don't feel like theres been a major change, except the obvious: concentration, focus, etc
so yeah........ if i dont take adderall for 5 days in a row, for those 5 days, i will certainly see that i'm not focused or concentrating as good as i would be ON ADDERALL.... but i certainly dont feel any worse or anything
when i stop adderall, i feel EXACTLY how i did before i ever started adderall
when i stop adderall, i don't ever feel any bad feeling or feel like i need it.... or feel any withdrawls. I don't feel any kind of extreme fatigue
I don't feel any kind of need to sleep longer or anything
Maybe some people have such bad add, that they feel withdrawls, fatigue, and all this crazy stuff I read about..
Like the guy that was saying he doesn't feel good about constantly taking adderall
but that's what ive been doing, i take it everyday. i would take it everyday for like 2 or 3 weeks and then stop for a week and not feel any kind of difference OTHER THAN the simple obvious: i cant concentrate as good as on adderall, or sustain attention...... but this is how i was before i started adderall
so because i feel the same as i did before i ever took adderall, when i don't take adderall, that's probably why i just don't get all this crazy stuff i read that people say they experience. Makes me think that theres probably other variables or other things in the equation that they just arent posting, or telling us.. Leaving things out (intentionally or unintentionally is irrelevant)
I'm prescribed 30mg adderall XR total, per day..
I told the psych I want 3 pills a day, 10mg each.. so that i can spread out the 'coverage'
i.e
8am lasts until noon
noon lasts until 4pm
4pm lasts until 8pm
cause 10mg only lasts 4 hours for me.. i believe this is because 10mg = 5mg instantly.. and then the remaining 5mg is given to me the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th hour, at 1.25mg per hour
1.25mg per hour is not a lot, so i don't feel any concentration or focus after the first 4 hours of taking 10mg
but for the first 4 hours its great
so thats why i told him i want 3 times a day, better that way
so far so great
been taking adderall since jan 23rd, 2007
It's hard for me to imagine that one day ill take my first pill of the day and it wont work, 2nd, and 3rd, still nothing
but, i understand that the human body will get tolerant to a substance after awhile it just depends on person to person as far as how long it will take.
so we'll see how it goes
the reason why sometimes i dont take adderall is because i work from home, and some days, i can get through with just 1 or 2 pills, instead of taking ALL 3 of the adderall's that im prescribed per day
i think that if i can get through some days wiith only taking 1 or 2, thats better than everyday having to take 3 a day
the less you take the better off you are , in terms of tolerance and effectiveness
i have more freedom because i work from home so its different for me. for some of you , what im doing is just impossible to do
and then some days, say i only have a little bit of work to do.. so i dont even bother taking adderall.
Sometimes i even do:
Monday - took 2 adderalls in the day total
Tuesday - took 3 adderalls in the day total
Wed - took 3 adderalls in the day total
Thurs - took none
Friday - took none
Saturay - took none
Sunday - took adderall again, only 2
why 2 on sunday? Because i didnt take any on thurs,fri, or sat, it became so much more effective so i only needed to take 2
so during those 3 days i didnt take it, i never once thought about adderall. It was like as if i didnt even take it. I just carried on with my day and didnt even think about it.
Maybe my add is just not as bad as some others. I do have add for sure because ive been to a psychologist and a psychiatrist, heh, both diagnosed me.. and i wouldnt have gotten a diagnosis + prescription if i didnt have it.. plus i know in my own mind that i for sure have it..
SO the only thing I can relate to is just that it works, it works baby! It's changed my life. It helps me stay on task, when it comes to work etc
It could be that the reason why i can't relate to most of these things that people here say, is because i've become used to it... but like i said above, i take it, i dont take it, sometimes i go 3 days without taking it
sometimes i take it every other day, so i dunno. Lately i've been taking it everyday, 2-3 a day (10mg)
it's definitely a great drug. Theyr'e coming out with some new bull**** drug (shire, inc) thats suppose to be the new add drug they're wanting to push (instead of adderall)
but i hope they dont discontinue adderall xr. i dont think thats possible. so many people use it.
The things I said that dont happen to me, I'm not saying they dont exist. Of course they do. Just saying I can't relate to most things except that it works for me (Adderall) lol
