The thing is, it didn't just help me write my paper -- it made me feel like a person again. It wasn't like I was high or anything, I just could function and be normal and feel happy. I felt the way I felt before I developed depression, years and years ago.
So I bought and took another pill and had the same feeling -- I felt like the "old" me. Taking adderall helped me feel better than any antidepressant I've ever been prescribed.
I want to bring this up to my T and pdoc, but the thing is, I'm a college student and I know many students will lie about having ADHD symptoms to get an adderall script to sell or abuse for school. I don't want that. I don't pretend to have ADHD. But I want to be able to take it every day, so I can feel normal and happy. Do you think it's worth bringing up with my T and pdoc?

I had a similar experience last summer. A friend of mine gave me a pill to help study (won't write here what it was though). That was one of the best days I had in a long time. I actually had the energy to do stuff! I felt like a normal human being too.
Hugs... I think you should bring it up with your T/pdoc. I never did because I felt too guilty, but I kind of regret it. Your pdoc can't say more than "no". I doubt that lying would be a good option though. They know you for some time and would probably get suspicious if you started experiencing adhd symptoms
