re: Explain to me the harm of ‘adderall’

As someone who used it in college it’s pure speed that makes you focus like a madman. It can also make you irritable. I would not go down this path at 45 yrs old.

if cocaine came in pill form, it would be ‘adderall’

It’s meth in a pill form. Not cocaine

For some yes and those are all probably listed side effects... But the feeling when taking one vs. the other is very different.

I still have yet to hear one harmful side effect.

---

Excessive sweating, hypertension, irritability, small bowel hypermotility, dehydration, psychosis in really large doses... there are plenty of side effects of adderall, easily searchable.

Granted, I’m not a fan of getting into drug use in my 40s, but convince me why I shouldn’t take a couple pills if I’m trying to get through a big project or crisis situation at work.

---

My suggestion? Try to motivate yourself to start those tasks and then take the adderall. Start small and it will help you focus, but if you aren't properly motivated to begin with, you might find yourself focusing on the "wrong" task. Before you know it, 2 hours have passed and all you've accomplished is alphabetizing your wardrobe...

So is there and withdrawals when not taking? Are they any more extreme than legal stimulants?

---

Yes but they are largely reduced and sometimes eliminated by not taking it on consecutive days, not taking large doses, eating a good meal before and hydrating frequently. Typical issues for a short term user would be hypersomnia, irritability and just feeling "blah" for a day or so.

You'll be short on dopamine for some time. Exercise, hydration and eating properly will put you back to normal in a pretty short time.

All I can tell you is that with the shortage, I know someone that can’t get it filled. Coming off it was absolutely hell. They’re just about over the withdrawals and I’m trying to convince them to stay off. So I would say a harm is horrible withdrawals.

Adderall users, please chime in. Convince me not to go down this path...GO!

---

Once your supply of "legal" Adderall pills is exhausted, you will end up sucking cock for meth. Its a slippery slope.

Again, generalized statements.

lot of posters are probably full of shite, that's why you're going to get generic statements or stuff that is completely, 100% subjective.


Vyvanse is better. Expensive though, but the patent expires in 2023 so next year you'll see generics.

worst side effects by far are limp dick and weight loss. Unless you're an overweight or fat frick in which case you definitely should take it.

knew a fatty with high blood pressure who got on it and lost a ton of weight, had normal blood pressure after. if true probably probably extended his life by 10+ years.


for some people they have to sort of 'retrain' themselves to do the tasks they were doing before since it will be more time consuming if you can't zero in on it. But that's not the medication's fault.

Feeling nauseous, sleeping constantly, extreme irritability, huge mood swings, depression, lack of all motivation. I can probably go on. And it’s very real.
