Hello, I'm a college student. I am 20. Without Adderall I would fail most classes. Thank you.
AnswerI have not taken it long but I did watch the super cool true life on MTV about taking adderall and from what they said the good effects are clearly better grades and more ease in normal every day tasks. But they also said it can cause OCD like behaviors. For me it makes me eat almost half as much as I use to. As a fat kid, I think that rocks but if you have a child who you think may have an eating disorder this is not the stuff for them. Its speed so it really knocks me out at the end of the day. If I drink too much caffene I feel like im about to have a heart attack and I get dizzy pretty easily. ANSWER:when I take my adderall i become very fixated on certain things - i frequently wash my hands and if taken in the evening i am up all night long....I am certainly more productive! but it causes me to have OCD like effects and there is also increased energy (Adderall is also prescribed for people with Narcolepsy). DECREASED APPETITE IS A BIG ONE TOO! you will also think much deeper into things... oh and also i become dehydrated with a constant dry mouth so I Drink Water In Excess. Adderall also causes me to experience irritability and anxiety(NERVOUSNESS) . and increased heart rate.but overall-
---in 9th grade i used adderall....Straight A's with no Suspensions or referalls!
10th grade (NO MEDICATION) - I only passed 2 out of my 8 classes for the year(one of them being Gym)...in the Principal's office everyday - class cuts, skipping school, classroom distruptions, and basically i was just a nonstop CLASS CLOWN, and i had no ambitions at all. (I will note that I had a lot of fun though being medication free)-but was not worth all the trouble and problems, looking back on the past.

Is it safe to take adderall when you are taking Xnax?
You really shouldn't be on a prescription for Adderall and Xanax at the same time. It's possible that Adderall could potentiate the effects of the xanax. That means that if you mix them, you normal dose of Xanax could knock you out. It also depends on if you are taking Adderall because you have been diagnosed with ADD. The effects of Adderall are different for people who do not have ADD.
Why would MD prescribe adderall for depression?
adderall affects dopamine and (to a much lesser extent) norepinephrine and can be used for treatment resistant depression. in my opinion they work better as anti depressants than all the SSRIs, SNRIs, etc I've taken. i also have ADD though,
Im on 30mg adderall and you feel like you have been going insane lately like your brain isnt in the right place you also smoke weed a couple days ago could you still be having affects from that help y?
Well I'm in the same boat you are. Diagnosed with ADD, i was perscribed Adderall, and for a little while, i was still smoking pot every day. I found that as soon as i smoked, it negated all the effects of the adderall. Even if i smoked right after dosing, it would basically make the rest of the day worthless. First things first, you need to talk to the doctor who prescribed you the adderall. If you obtained it illegally, STOP TAKING IT! A proffessional needs to assess your history, psychological health, etc. Also, stop smoking the reefer. Trust me, its only making your ADD worse.
If someone without ADD takes adderall will they get the opposite effects of someone with ADD?
