I've been taking Fish Oil for almost two months maybe a month now.
My doctor prescribed me for Adderall XR 20MG after I told him I lose focus and used to have a case of ADD as a child but stopped taking meds when I was 13.(I know this post is horribly off-track and I'm just gonna blame that on my ADD)

Anyway, yesterday was my first day on it combined with the fish oil I usually take.It went great for the most part!I had class in the morning and normally being shy and nervous I don't talk to anyone unless they talk to me.I definitely don't talk to complete strangers!Well there was this girl in the hallway who's in my class and I could tell she was kinda nervous around me so I started talking to her, laying down smiles, and generally keeping the conversation in her favor.

We started talking about this group project everyone was suppost to do on a country of their choice and how we were required to atleast have seven people in the group.I asked her if I could join, she was cool with it and then some of her friends who were also in the group came along.
Pretty soon I was talking to like five of these girls at once, joking around and being very open about my ideas for the project and what we could do.

At the end of class we found out another girl was in the group but I guess the rest of the group had just forgotten about her.Since you can't have more than seven I left the group regretably but I didn't let it deter me, I found another group in like five seconds and pointed out what I'd be covering if no one elses wanted it.

I apologize for the long post but I just wanted to share my great experience!The rest of the day went pretty smoothley, almost as soon as I got home and started on the home work we were assigned.I was on task and completly focused on whatever I was doing for the rest of the day!
My only complaint would have to be I had really no appetite to speak of, before I went to class at 11am I had like two pieces of buttered bread and a glass of milk, a protein shake at 3 or so and then not eating again till like 11 that night.I had really annoying stomach pains which I'm assuming were from not eating and I could feel the pill wear off somewhere around 8 or 7:30.Probably going to opt for a higher dosage when I got in for a follow-up.

Wasn't that long of a post IMO. But as ADDers we tend to think it is a long post because writing anything seems to be a real task - at least with me.

Anyways..

Glad to see everything is working out for you. You also seem to be turning into a ladies man. ;) I'm taking IR Adderall right now. I'm thinking about switching to XR.

Is IR the one that you have to take twice a day?But the effects are immediate?

Also, great icon!Haha

Yea, twice a day or four times a day - guess it all depends on your dosage. And yes, the effects are immediate. Usually take about 15-30 minutes to kick in, depending on whether or not you've eaten anything. They don't last nearly as long though. Anywhere from 2-3 hours, depending on MG of the pill.

I like the IR form because you can control your dose. Say I wake up later in the day, I don't really want to take something that's going to keep me up kind of late. That doesn't happen much with me though, as I have to get up at 7-8 in the morning. So that's why I think I'm going to try out the XR.
