My experience with Adderall.

I was seeing the same MD for over a year and one day she asked if at anytime I had been diagnosed with a mental disorder. This was due to my ways of explaining my medical issues and how they made me feel as well as my loss of attention getting worse. At first she gave me a 30 day at 60mg a pill. It was too much and I could not sleep well at night so we dialed it way down to 25mg a pill.

Life got great. I was able to stay focused at work, slowly I was able to stop myself from impulse eating/ binge eating and being so lazy. Whenever I got home from work I no longer would find reasons to sit around but instead I would go right to the gym and dam the crowds and traffic I went cause I knew I needed to. I was for once in my life "in control" and much more fearless.

Then the company began to fire everyone slowly. I started to go into a spiral of depression as the work vanished and I had less and less to do and finally it was just 3 employees left down from the original 20!

After that I was out of work and at home, bored and sending out resumes to the tune of 10-20 a day. By the 3rd month I was freaking out and popping my pills at night and going from bedtime at 10pm to bedtime at 4-5am. I would then become a night person and sleep during the day. I can say that a certain psychosis developed and I became more paranoid and restless. I kept seeking communication with others and venting about my circumstances with strangers and often!

I stopped after that so my soul could steady itself and I could see if possibly I didn't need them. It's been over 7 years now since then and although mainly Ihave not needed them due to the less demanding work I had been doing but also since I have been out of work it doesn't matter what I do or think (I think).

Well, that's my experience anyway.
