Me : Inattentive ADD. Adderall 15mg 2x a day (most of the time I only take it once a day)

When I first began meds : I became depressed, lonely, and scared.
Why?
Because I noticed that the Adderall was in fact helping, but, not in the way I had thought.

Here's how it helped: Replaced my irresponsible, fantasy, childlike imaginary illusions of reality...with just that REALITY.
Left me lonely.. because I no longer had my comforting (defense mechanism) day dreaming illusions filling the void in my mind.
Depressed because: I realized that life IS hard, and, I have a ton of responsibility now and ahead of me.

So I was stuck on the phone the other day with my mother, and, she was going on about ANOTHER of her "great" inventions...... (I suspect she is ADD) and it made me think that she needs to get help too. These unrealistic illusions she is creating and focusing on.. and depending on.. WONT WORK! (this is my Adderall medicated mind )

And, Im sad, because I was like her at one time. Stuck in illusion. Thriving on the excitment of some great idea I had just thought of.

But they dont work... they never do, and, in the end it just makes you depressed once you realize this.

How can I help her? She refuses to believe she has ADD, although I have hinted at the doctor mentioning I "might" and that it runs in the family... she wont listen.
But, she cant take care of herself. She doesnt eat properly, she is always late with bills, never has money, her house is messy, she is soooo childlike in thought... she makes numerous mistakes and trusts the WRONG people, she blabs out information or thoughts that she shouldnt, she needs to sleep all the time or she cant function in her (no brainer) job.

I dont know what to do?

I use to be like her....

and although Adderall didnt help me with school...its helped me this way.

Is that whats suppose to happen?
Has anyone else been helped this way by Adderall ?


Sorry so long...
