Can't wait for the "ADD/ADHD isn't a thing!" dipshits to show up in this thread

This! I call BS.

Father of ADHD said it himself, "Fictitious Disease". But you just keep popping the pills.

You can tell who’s on adderall or vyvanse in this thread by some of the multi paragraph responses

congrats on blowing up like a whale if you ever get off the speed.

I switched back to adderall because I was tired of paying for vyvanse. But i did like vyvanse way better.

How's it going? I wish Adderall worked for me. I got all of the crappy side effects and no real increase in focus (since I was so tired from not sleeping). Granted, I was also going through the worst year of my life at that time, so that didn't help.

I hate having to pay $300/mo when I'm fulfilling my deductible, but I feel so much better on Vyvanse than I do off.

Been taking some sort of dextroamphetamine or precursor to it since the late 90s. 70mg is the supposed max, but Im scripted 110mg of Vyvanse a day. I know it's permanatly screwed with my dopamine/norepinephrine levels. I wouldn't be as successful as I am though if I didn't take it all these years. But your tolerance will get to levels where you have to take steps to mitigate the downsides. Like I take a beta blocker BP med with it just to bring my heart rate and BP back down to normal levels. Then it's good to have something that will kill it completely if you need to sleep all of a sudden, or slowly bring you down off such high doses dependibg on each days situation. There's also things you can take that help slow the changes it will do to your brain over time, if you want to get into all that. It starts as a disorder, but over time, you gotta manage your long term plan of ingesting stims everyday, because otherwise you'll be in trouble. I'm probably a guinea pig of sorts since I don't know anyone else that takes as much as I do along with the other meds to mitigate the long term damage. But my heart likely will still crap out at 50. :)

2-fma is very similar and legal too.

Try out Modafinil. All of the upside with none of the downside.

Yeah I took vvyvanse for 3+ years in college and recently quit taking entirely. I definitely think there is a change

I just take a 15mg non time released. It really just helps me get going in the mornings.

In college I was on wayyyy too much adderall and I hated it then. No personality, irritable and just a zombie.

I dont know. I mean, what were you saying? Sometimes I feel like .... oh shite look at the funbags on that hose hound

That's what my Dr said. The first couple months taking it was bad arse. Working was like a hobby, working out was fun, and being social was easy. I quit taking it everyday because I felt like I was going to build a tolerance and really didn't want to have to up the dosage. I'm prescribed 2 10mg non time release a day. My last two months bottles are probably half full and I have another prescription I'll probably pick up this weekend,
