Its amphetamines, it's close chemical wise to methamphetamines

No, it isn’t. I’ve never seen a single person on Adderall with missing teeth, bad skin, and aged 50 years.

Re: Energy level

It would be good if you could back that up. I think your best shot would be through a sleep or pulmonary doctor, or a general practitioner if you you have a good relationship. In any case, you will need to convince them of need and that you won't be abusing anything.

The absolutely easiest way to do that is through a sleep apnea study. That might be all the ammo you need, but one thing I would definitely mention is your work conditions if true - "Doc, I am afraid for my job, I am having trouble staying awake and alert. I don't want to lose my job - and I don't want to be dangerous for my co-workers either."

Another thing to do is if discussing Adderall, consider two prescriptions - one in capsule for called Adderall XR which is the extended release, and then normal Adderall. The XR version with a low dose of the normal that can be singled or doubled on top when needed can really help. But only when needed. Adderall doses start at 5mg and go in 5mg increments up to 30mg or so - a smart doctor prescribes a small dosage but large quantity so that you can take what you need and not flood your system every day. An even faster acting version of Adderall is the "IR" version, which stands for immediate release.

And, consider an alternative like Provigil or Nuvigil. These work in a different way and are technically not amphetamines though insurance may classify them the same. Nuvigil is a more recent version of Provigil. With all of them, though, double check against side effects and interactions with other drugs - all of these are slightly different in this regard.

Finally, all of the drugs mentioned have generics available. Straight adderall is very cheap. the others may be classed into a different tier by your insurance company or pharmacy.

Good luck.

Probably because many graduate from Adderall to Meth.

Do I just tell the doc I can't focus on shite and lack energy?

Was easy in 2010. Not sure about now. First ask around. See who your adderall addict friends use. Then emphasize that your lack of focus is hindering your job performance. You exercise and eat right and sleep enough but you still just can’t focus.

Depends on the doc. I got a prescription years ago from a psychiatrist. She literally asked what can I do for you. I explained the issues I was having and she was like no dummy what drugs do you want. I was like I was hoping you could tell me but adderall I guess

I know this is a troll thread but I don’t see new patients with a primary diagnosis of ADHD. Someone who was taking it is as a child and has the test done by their child psychiatrist I will continue it most times. Lastly, sometimes I’ll use Vyvanse or low dose adderall for depression but not as a first line medication.

There's literally nothing in the active ingredients of Adderall that isn't an amphetamine. It's crazy that this is prescribed to people. There are damn sure countries where it's not, and if you bring it there you'll be arrested

I start my mornings with two fried eggs, bacon, toast, and 3 lines of quality cocaine.

Don't start Adderall. Everyone I know, myself included, that started taking Adderall regretted taking it. I took it for 5 years as prescribed. The first day I had to go to work without meds (couldn't refill the prescription) it was the longest work day I'd ever experienced in my life.

Even if you take it as prescribed, Adderall is very addictive. You will know you're an addict, because everytime you feel a script, you'll feel a little bit of paranoia at that the pharmacy might not fill script before you're out (Pharmacy runs out of adderall, something on the script is not perfect, etc.)

When I stopped taking Adderall, it was hell for about three or four but it took a couple of months before I really felt like myself again. I know two people that had to go to an outpatient rehab to get off Adderall. Addiction is never something you should choose to have in your life.

Now, I eat a healthy balanced diet and walk twice a day. Getting and staying healthy will give you way more focus and energy than Adderall. I'm 48 now and can run circles around my 30 y/o adderall addicted self.
