I stared taking adderall relatively recently and it has been a tremendous help. But also I wasn't the type of person who pursued stimulants. When I did coke I never really reacted like most other people, so I haven't been inclined to abuse it, the adderall.The adderall gives me energy. I also stared taking Guanfacine (Tenex) in the last year for anxiety associated with PTSD and I have had very good results. And it has made the adderall more effective.
