Just because you can be prescribed adderall for everything from irritability to lapses of attention doesn't mean it isn't potentially life-altering and dangerous.

Shoot, I've had issues with too much caffeine when I've been worn thin, having relational problems, depressed, and not getting enough sleep. In other words, when I've been on the brink, so to speak. And that tends to be when I consume loads and
loads of it--beyond my even-too-much normal amount per day. I've not had hallucinations, but I've had sleep paralysis. Which is freaky as hell.
You can have psychotic episodes secondary to stimulant use. Stimulant psychosis
is definitely a thing.
