re: Anybody here take prescription Adderall?

Found out earlier in my 20s that I needed a prescription, but chose not to get one because I didn’t want to be known as someone who needed medication.

That has got to be the dumbest position EVER! If you need medicine; take the damn medicine. You do not have to go around wearing a hat that say I'm on meds on it.

I’ve always been able to function decently without it, but I’ve taken it a couple times without a script and I function so much better.

1. I'm sure the DEA would like to have a little chat with you.

2. You answered your own questions about taking it.

Anyone here take it regularly? Does it help you focus?

Yep. I went from being on academic probation in college before I was prescribed it. My grades improved from C's and D's to nothing but A's (except for that C in organic chemistry 2) after I started, and I spent less time studying and more time partying. The only negative side effect is nor being able to get buzzed. I am either completely sober or sloppy drunk. There is no in between anymore and my typing has gone to shite.

Unfortunately you have missed the boat and doctors do not hand out meds like we used to, but if you have good insurance I will be happy to let you come sit in my office and charge you $200 and then refer you to a psychiatrist.
