Adderall - First time Experience

I know it's probably quite meaningless but, I was recently "diagnosed" with Adult ADHD and was prescribed both "Amphetamine Salts, 20 MG ER" and "Adderall 10 MG". I have never taken them before and I decided to do so today.
I feel great. I can focus on everything. Even now typing, I feel so much more accurate and such. I just played Marvel vs. Capcom 3's "Mission Mode" (which is quite difficult) and I have never been more fixated on completing a task before in my life. Holy shit.
Okay, now time to take a shower and visit the girlfriend. Peace out, guys.

dude stop taking it, especially if you dont have adhd
I took it as a teenager and struggled to get off it. I also tried to quit cigarettes after 2 months of heavy use. Adderal was at least 3x as hard to quit
I helps you focus, and makes you feel good, so it'll make you think that its "good" for you Truth is, that its horrible for oyu, addictive, and sucks away your energy
I use it occasionally, using about 2-4 20mg IR Adderal a month. I just use it for big tests and essays

Hence why I said, "prescription". I need to take it considering that I work 40+ Hours a week in an office. I need to stay focused.
I don't take it recreationally.

prescription or not, using amphetamines daily just isn't healthy. 5 minutes of research tells you this. and i'll tell you from experience it fucked me up
consider today the day your personality dies

Seriously, I couldn't imagine the intensity of your amphetamine dependance as your life goes on. You'll have to quit eventually... or end up an old man that ONLY survives on his pills.... not a good road to go down IMO.
Sorry if I came across really meanly... I just don't think that amphetamines as medication is really a smart idea.
This one girl I know HAS GOT to have amphetamines to function because she's been prescribed them for so long and she follows the dosing instructions. It's sad in my opinion.

I take it pretty routinely without a prescription, and have had an addiction before. DO NOT TAKE THEM DAILY, SCRIP OR NOT. That was my mistake. You know how awesome you're saying they are? Yeah. That's why it's addictive, because it is so fucking awesome.
I could not go a day without it, I was physically and mentally dependant upon it to get shit done.
Use it only for periods of INTENSE focus or for a pick-me-up if you're lacking sleep and need to be somewhere, and maybe mix with things for the occasional recreational dose.
Now I can use it again, but it takes a lot of self-control. Who knows, maybe you've got enough already.
Just saying, tread lightly upon the amphetamine path because you could find soon that you're too far down it and lost.
Enjoy those delicious dextroamphetamine/various amphetamine salt capsules.. wish I had a scrip.

I just got a prescription for adderall when I started school in February. I tried taking them every day before class for two weeks to see how they worked, and it turned out to be a double edged sword for me... Some times it worked great and other times it made me anxious. I stopped taking them every day and only take them if Im tired.
I honestly dont like amphetamines... I just dont know anything else that helps

I take adderall. I love it! They get better the longer they age. I Don't listen to those who say this stuff is unsafe...Its actually really safe, according to Doctor Daniel Amens book "Change your life, change your brain" I also suggest taking 1-2 20 mg's with about a teaspoon of spoon of dissolved baking soda. This will alkalize your system, resulting in a much smoother and longer lasting amphetamine ride. I suggest taking them with mood stabilizers like Neurolinks - Plenty of green tea - exercise - and water. After about 2 years of using adderall, you will notice your hair may start thinning..This indicates, its time to take a break for a month or so, or ya may start balding. The adderall makes your body produce more insulin, which converts to testosterone, which then goes to your hair follicles. That's why i get a new pill bottle and throw it in the safe, and take maybe 4 pills a month, twoX's a month and with that baking soda, that baking soda makes that amphetamine feel sooo much better...Goddamn that adderall is good!! I wanna try desoxyn..I might be able to get my doctor to let me sample it!

careful with that stuff, its a slippery slope. soon you start needing it...you'll feel like you aren't yourself or aren't good enough without it. Its a real blast at first, so enjoy these early experiences, but i strongly urge you not to get too attached. amphetamine is an ugly demon that wants to eat your soul

Wow, guys. Thanks for the insight. Really.
I guess it is better to just take it as I need it. I haven't taken my daily dose today but from what I can say, yesterday was quite the experience. I felt very "dead", as in I didn't really have much personality. It was quite the overwhelming feeling.

Adderall is pretty much the same as Ritalin right? I took 2 or 3 Ritalin without AD(H)D once, I kinda liked it.

Yeah no shit, constantly dosing too jigh is gonna fuck you up. I take 30mgs a day, and can barely feel it. Taking this shit as recommended isnt gonna kill you.
Dosing too high being dangerous does not make adderall some super evil dangerous thing...

Ritalin to Adderall is like Nutmeg to Mescaline.
Adderall is SO much better IMO.
It does sort of 'zombify' you, and by that I mean you will not eat/sleep and are basically emotionless. Sex is pretty difficult too, and you don't really find yourself wanting it as much, or at all, anymore.
It's great for mornings where I've got to get to class and I stayed awake until 4AM the night before.
Be careful mixing anything with it, really. Mixing with alcohol is pretty dangerous because it makes you feel like you're not drunk, but you are, and a few people have died this way so just a heads up. Mixing with weed, however, is perfect! I also noticed the Adderall increases music appreciation greatly, which is one reason why I feel MJ and it synergize so well.
Enjoy your addy, but please be careful as I said before.

Yeah, that side-effects website also said that it increases sexual desire. I find that I can barely get it going on Adderall!

Are you saying that taking 30mg a day for a 3-4 months wont do any harm to you? Im supposed to take 40mgXR but I dont take more than 20mg a day... I try not to take it every day either. Just being EXTRA safe with this stuff I guess

A lot of valid points here, but the most valid is that addys are a double edged sword. A great tool if used responsibly, but the devil of it is that amphetamines are not something that can be used responsibly long term. I started out 20mg at a time not very often and ended up on a daily dose exceeding 150mg. Lost 50 lbs and smoked like a freight train. Felt like shit. The crazy thing? I still take it every few weeks for a 1-3 day splurge. Do what you want, just know that it will end up being more trouble than good if you abuse it.
