Hi Everyone
I am new to Adderall and am concerned/paraniod about the addictive qualities and long term side effects or effectiveness. Anyone out there been on Adderall for more than 10 years???? what happens over time???? do things get better or worse or stay the same??? I also am a Graphic Designer by trade. Does anyone feel that the meds hinder abstract thinking and limit the wild ideas I tend to have when I am "unmedicated" at least on adderall. Any insight would be of extreme help.

Thanks.

I have taken Dexedrine for a good 18 years of my life, more than ten years at a time, it is one med I could stay on as a kid and I can stop taking it without a problem. After a couple of years of taking it, in my experience, the only way you can tell if it is working is that you can either focus or can't.
