As most of us know, that first week on Adderall was full of euphoria (about 2 years ago for me), but that quickly diminishes.

I wanted some opinions from some people here on how they notice themselves acting differently on and off meds when hanging out with friends, meeting new people (and trying to converse.. like a date), etc. Good and bad.

In my personal life, I've found that I've had much better success in the dating scene while on Adderall (I'm a guy). I don't know if there is a direct relationship there, but it seems that all of my opportunities in my life have so far been created during a time in my life where I was taking Adderall regularly; and now I'm afraid to try and do it without. However, it seems like when I'm with some close friends I actually prefer not to be on Adderall. Maybe I'm just weird though.

I hear pretty often that people think Adderall changes your personality. Do you think it changes your personality (sense of humor, how "fun" you are etc)? I ask that you all please honestly try to think back and answer.. if you're always on Adderall whenever you go out, then this question probably isn't for you.

Thanks guys!

I've written this before, but I felt more awkward when on Adderall (or Ritalin). My behavior doesn't "flow" like it normally would- even with close friends, talking required more effort. It almost felt like I was slowed down too much.

Why did you go off meds?

Dude ....for me the med make's such a difference....my girlfriend can't believe it, i get comments all the time about the change in me:D the problem is when the med crashes.i don't like to be social then,i just want to eat and go to bed.:confused:

I feel exactly what you're saying. First time I took the 20 MG adderall IR *yesterday* my personality changed. Usually I'm pretty dry humored, laid back... yesterday I was energetic, talkative, and just generally friendly (I'm usually more of the a**hole type). I said to myself I wish I could be this way all the time... But I ended up being awake for 24 hours and had a bad crash so I didn't take it 2day... I hope that feeling doesn't go away as quickly as ppl say.
