They don't have Google in Nebraska?

On the other hand, if a drug has the potential to create a physical or mental dependence, it's considered controlled. ... Adderall is a controlled substance, as are narcotic pain medications. Adderall is actually a Schedule II controlled substance in the U.S., and this means that it has a high potential for abuse

You can become addicted to anything.

I believe that any type of amphetamine inhibits natural seratonin production but you can kickstart it with sunshine and exercise.

I'd say no because it has no withdrawals. I took it throughout HS. It shrank my penis badly.

I do take klonopin. I get very bad withdrawals if I don't take it.

I'll take 10mg or so on some days. I've had the same bottle for 6 months.

If I'm going to get less than two hours of sleep, I'll take 5mg with a bottle of water. Take the next 5mg when I wake up.

I've never taken the recommended 20mg as it raises my heart rate from the low 60s into the 90s.

Wow
I’ve taken it for years but I don’t think I’ve ever exceeded 15mg in a day.

No "addicted", but dependant... and it has diminishing returns the longer and more consistently you take it.

What I do is go cold turkey on vacations to "reset" my body. Enjoy feeling tired and sleeping - it's fun. Take a vacation to a beach or stay in a hotel with a fantastic pool so you can just crash and read and crash.

I also limit myself to no more than 40mg on the absolutely most brutal work days and no more than 15 mg on normal workdays. Weekends I (usually) don't use any. Since weed is legal where I live, I have found that the more cognitive and "upper" strains of sativa make a nice and natural substitute for adderall when we go to social functions. It gives me a lift and makes me chatty


I like the way you do drugs baw

This is pretty much my dream routine. Unfortunately I’m not prescribed, weed’s not legal where I live, and I get tested for work

I relish when I finally go through a reset, I can only do a few months at at time and then it starts catching up to me and I start losing composure

In short, Yes. It is a an amphetamine. There’s a lot of physiological science to go along with this. Go read about it.

It is low dose meth, of course you can.

You are fckking idiot.

Addys and Meth are nothing alike. The feelings are not the same.

Ive had a prescription for about a year and honestly I didnt get it because I needed to focus, I got it because its fun as hell, just wondering now if there is a chance that im dependent on it. Because I feel fricking miserable when I dont take it.

I found it was good for studying but not test taking. You would be so high that being ultra focused was a problem. Stayed on a problem/question for much too long.

My addiction game as your body relies on it in a sense for energy. I would eat a script in 2 weeks but left drained for about 3-5days after. Then the process would start over.

So the addiction for me was trying to beat that period where I wasn't super productive. Started buying every script I can get my hands on a few years ago. It became so much of an issue I was spending around $1500 on just Adderall. It went from 30 in 2 weeks to 30 in 2-3days. Was doing nearly 400mg a day at times.

Now it wasn't the Adderall that made me crazy but lack of sleep. You need sleep. So damn important.

Now I'm much more stable and do about 20-30 addys a month. It's under control. But it is a constant battle. You feel yourself taking it for really no reason it is time to stop.

Yes you can absolutely become addicted to it. It happens alot.

The real question is how does it make you feel. People are different and different molecules make people feel differently depending on how their brain responds when it is bound to that molecule.

If you don't really feel anything when you take it them it probably isn't a problem for you. Some people take an opiate and go to sleep. Others feel euphoric and energized. If it makes you feel that way you should probably think about the potential long term consequences of continuing to use it.

Some people can handle it and some can't. That's the tricky thing about addictive substances

Yep, everyone is very different.

I hate alcohol, weed and xanax. Hate it. Mainly because it doesn't allow me to do the things I enjoy in reading and video games.

However, amps and opiates are like some Nectar of the Gods.

You can definitely get addicted to it, unless you cook it down and inject it.

Yes, you will basically go into a meth psychosis.
