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.

Really similar experience here, I hated taking medication when I was younger for the same reason. I've finally gotten used to taking it now I'm older, and after stopping the other week due to some side effects I've really noticed the difference they were making. My brain is just jumping all over the place now
