I take Adderall now. When i was a kid. Ritalin, but it turned me into a full blown zombie. I would just stare,at the wall all say. If someone,asked me to do something id be flat and compliant, but if not directed i did nothing at all. As an adult after being ofg thr meds for yrs they put me back on rit. 1st. I had forgotten. Same effect sleepy and zombified so they raised the dose sleepy zombified w/ heart pounding. So got switched to adderall ext release caps. After about 3 months the overlap in half life started producing visiual hallucinations and intense night terrors that had me jumping at everything out of the corner of my eye all day too. Swiched me to Aderrall inst realease. 2x a day and everything has been fine now for yrs. Right med right dose calm balanced brain (as much as poss for my mind neway lol) and enough focus energy and clarity for most daily tasks. Can still fall asleep at drop of dime unlesss triggered by other stressors. So i guess it really requires the right med and amount of dsg tweeking to find min. Dsg w/ best effects.
