Adderall and Addiction
    #14039766 - 02/27/11 11:41 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

I'm a heavy weed user and told myself I would never get into any kind of prescription drugs because my brother was addicted to painkillers and OD'd several times.

Anyways, I'm in college and got these adderall/vyvanse. I know what they both do and I just took the adderall (took vyvanse last monday) and I had a question about it. I read about it's potential for addiction unless you have ADD.

Thing is with me, I wasn't diagnosed with ADD and never had any real symptoms, but I really feel like I do easily get distracted during work and this adderall really helps me get in the right mind for learning/school work. I'm not taking it to get high, but to simply enjoy my work more.

I wanted to get more people's opinion's on this who have done adderall and not had many problems. I'm beginning to think if I should start taking them daily before class. Problem is I heard they can be addicting and I don't want to turn into a 'pill-popper' who only lives life if he's high on some meds.

Has anyone began using anything like adderall strictly for school and getting work done and used it successfully constantly? I don't mean occasionally for a test, I really feel like it helps me retain more information.

I guess I'm trying to bridge the gap between taking them because I'm 'addicted' and just 'need them' and taking them because they really help me stay focused throughout the day.

I think you'll be okay unless you have an addictive personality. I had a friend who was prescribed vyvanse and soon became addicted and would get bad sickening withdrawls if he stopped taking them. But i guess it all depends on the person

You'll be fine. My doctor prescribes me adderall, xnax, and suboxone. I don't see people getting addicted to amphetamines like they would opiates. Opiates will cause a physical dependence which means you will get where you can't function without them. But the amphetamines(adderall) will help you concetrate and will help you get more work done. What I do is not take them on the weekends so they will help me concentrate monday through Friday.

amphetamines effect the nucleus accumbens in the reward system the same way opiates do. it depends on the person and how addicting the paticular drug is. it's totally possible to get strung out and addicted to adderall and have it ruin your life. but just because has the potential to be extremely addictive doesn't mean it will be for you. just keep yourself in check and recognize if you are taking it when you don't need it. enjoy! :thumbup:

I took adderall to study back in college on one occasion.  The problem with taking drugs that you don't actually need (I don't think you're a.d.d.) is that you're bound to get to the point where you do need it to feel normal, even if you don't get withdrawals.

Edit:  Pantsboy made my point while I was typing it out.

Adderall can be quiiite addicting when you have a constant supply. Be careful.

i don't know if i'd take them everyday before class. it really depends on the dosage... what kind are they (instant or extended release)? how many mg's per pill?

Used to pull the concerta gig before class. Now I resort to them for finals, midterms and whatnot. Haven't found it to be addicting. Although 216mg of time releases split really screwed me up. Vision and so many other senses/symptoms went haywire after that damn 17 page history final.

Moral, keep yourself in check. You know who you are and within your limits and all.

They really started to fuck with my emotions after a while. The constant dopamine rollarcoaster can be really hard to grapple with even if you're normally a fairly level headed person. In the end I was having anxiety attacks just going out into public and ended up losing my awesome fucking job being an angry meathead.

buyer beware

I would say try to take some time off every once in a while or you're going to easily slip into using bigger doses all the time. I pretty much only use em for tests, big papers, finals, that type of thing and it works well for me. I went on a binge for two weeks to barely squeak through senior summer school and...well, shit dude, it sucks just don't do too much or you'll find just how fuckin dry your mouth can get lol

Chronic abuse has also has been linked to permanent penis shrinkage. Google it if you don't believe me.

A powerful amp taken on a daily basis is going to have some drawbacks....then again so is caffeine, i guess its just how much your willing to put up with when the negative effects surface more and more (they will btw :naughty:)


My advice is to NOT take it all the time, even if it is a respectable dose and your using it medically :rolleyes: nothing against you, but there is nothing medical about Adderall, or the effects it produces.

adderall has a wide range of medical uses. maybe none that apply to you but that doesn't mean it hasn't helped others.
