I also take a drug vacation meaning on the weekends or for 2 consecutive day I don't take my adderall. This stops me from building a rapid tollerance to the medication and needing an increased dose. After the 2 days are over the adderall is always stronger than if I took it 7 days in a row.
It helps me to focus and calms my fleeting thoughts, but if I'm manic it is a drug I quit taking asap. Some pdocs are afraid it will induce mania in certain bipolars, but I never had that problem over the 7 years I've been taking it.

Hi. How did you learn of your addictive personality? I'm afraid my college son has an addictive personality and have been googling and it doesn't help. You are real and managing it which gives me hope for him) would you mind sharing your experience with me?
I can tell you more about my son. He is currently in a psych ward after taking a large amount of 25i for the past ten days. It's a new drug I think of it like Molly) and similiar to LSD, but with euphoric, spiritual like experiences. I can share more, if you hv time.
