i am very depressed right now and i think it has to do with my dependence on my ADD medications. i am currently prescribed vyvanse and adderall. i pretty much take them in order to get through the day which i know is not good.

I don't know what vyvanse is but I know adderall. So you are taking more than is prescribed? What does it to for you? Do you get wired?

adderall can be dangerous! I don't abuse it now but I have in the past. It led me back to crack and then meth. Be careful because it can get a grip on you if you let it. But, I understand the desire to take it...it does help me get through the day. But, I only take it the way I'm suppose to now.

Please be careful, adderall effects people in different ways and its evil to me. I was takimg 60mg xr and it spun me into my first pychosis. The one drug i regret ever touching. Since i was put on it ive been in and out of hospitals ever since. I am no doctor, this is just my experience. Your on a slippery slope. I really wish you got off thst stuff man. I have a thread its called ADDERALL IS EVIL. It was my gateway to hell. But thats just me.

I think adderall is a double edged sword. It has helped me with my work but most significantly it has helped me with my relationships with other people. But there are days when I don't take my meds and I feel down and out. I don't 'feel' the adderall when I take it but I definitely notice it when I don't. I feel addicted because I stress about running out.

Susan my suggestion is to speak with your prescribing physician about your concerns.
