Oh man, yes so hard. Adderall gave me bad jaw clenching, appetite suppression, etc. The change was like "Oh man... so much better"

Yea, plus it is not abusable; folks with actual ADHD prefer to feel normal and with how the lysine compound is attached to the amphetamine it has to go through the liver to activate. This is why Shire, manufacturer of Adderall XR, are phasing out the XR's and trying to promote this rather new medicine

edit: by abusable, I mean you cannot snort it like an adderall XR/IR. It must be ingested

Honestly you should get a referral for a new doctor and not mention the addiction.
