Adderal is amazing. I was told I had ADHD in the 4th grade. I stayed on it u til 6th. Because I hated the idea of taking medication everyday and being different than other kids. Did everything last minute from 7th grade until I graduated college, never realizing how much I needed it until I started working full time. Worked for 2 years, went back to the doctor and got prescribed 10 mg xr adderal. Basically makes all the wires in your brain feel like they are connected how they should be instead of a ball of wires under a desk covered in dust.
Diagnosed with ADHD around 3rd/4th grade, they kept putting me on different medication for the longest time, since I couldn't stand the side effects. I was on concerta before they put me on Adderall, and I didn't get the side effects as bad so I simply stuck with it.
It's a blessing and a disguise, since I can function extremely well with this medication, but I am utterly lost without it.
Same here. Since I didn't have prescription insurance, my doc skipped Strattera. I would probably go to Vyvanse if my prescription coverage is worth a damn but Adderall is a miracle drug almost for what it costs at Costco.
