My Dr. wrote me a script today for Adderall.
Have any of you guys ever tried it?
I'm wondering what to expect..........

Damn, i bet thats not the answer he was looking for at all...Expect depression, extreme insomnia, complete loss of appetite inducing extreme weight loss, and the possible development of tics and/or tourettes syndrome.
You'll be more tentative all right, but only because you're too depressed to blink. I'd stay away from this **** at all costs, it gave me hell for over a year before I figured out it was the cause of my problems.

Damn, sounds like the "white stuff"!I've taken a 30mg for recreational purposes (along with a ton of alcohol) and I felt like a million bucks. I couldn't stop talking or smiling for 8 hours or so. It was horrible coming down off of it, I don't think I've ever been more depressed in my life, and i couldn't sleep for a while. It's a combination of 4 different amphetamines.
Well, in a sense, it is. This is an area I actually have some experience in..heheh.. Anyway, for those people without ADHD, Adderall speeds you up, gives you the jitters, makes you paranoid, and keeps you up all night - just like coke. For people with ADHD, it slows them down, and the rest of the sides are the same. While occasional recreational use of Adderall won't cause many side effects, chronic use of it definitely will. Depression will set in after a few weeks, as will the weight loss.

I've experienced both coke and adderall and there is literally no difference in feeling. Coming down off coke you will want to kill yourself, just as you will coming down off of Adderall. They both cause severe and almost insantaneous depression, although with coke it's because you've stopped supplying your system with it, thus you need more. With adderall, its the opposite, the only way to stop the depression is to stop supplying your system with it.
It's not medical genius, but it's my real world advice, so take heed. Be careful with what you're taking and know when to stop.
By chronic, I meant every day use, as one would use it for ADHD. As for extended release, it will still make you feel like ****. I had an idiot friend who got ahold of a bunch of Adderall XR not knowing it was extended release and took like 45mg of it. Needless to say, he was pretty messed up for a day and a half, considering the typical total daily dosage is around 10mg. If the side effects are too much for you, there are a few alternate medications you can take, one of which I had but couldn't take for medical reasons. I forgot the name of it but I'm sure you can ask your doctor, or do a search for "new adderall medication" and find it/them.
even with extended release???
I'm guessing your definition of chronic is long term every day use??
What happens when the side effects become unbearable...? Do Dr.'s change the patient's to a differant drug?
I have taken seroquel, risperdal, paxil, prozac, celexa, neurontin, trazadone and a few more I can't remember. The worst I was on was an MAOI called Parnate for two years. I came off of it this past February when Strattera was approved by the FDA. Strattera is used for ADHD and an unlabeled use is for Bipolars. It works really well for me.To my knowledge Adderall is not prescribed for bi-polar disorder.
Medications such as risperdal and paxil ( which are prescribed for it) work in this manner:
In the brain, Nerve A cannot communicate with Nerve B.
Risperdal comes in and bridges the gap between Nerve A and Nerve B.
Nerve A and Nerve B can now communicate.
Adderall does nothing of the sort and I have no idea why your doctor gave it to you. It can even worsen some of the symptonms of bi-polar disorder. Sounds like your doc graduated at the bottom of his class...
I'm curious as to why you switched medications so many times. Did you take each of them long enough to properly determine if they were doing their job or did you switch because none of them did? Also, if your doctor thought your symptoms were under control, why would he give your MORE medication for no reason? Did I miss something? Did he give it to you because you had no bi-polar symptoms but still had ADHD symptoms? If he did he is fucking stupid.

Maybe he gave the Adderall to me because he thinks the Bipolar symptoms are under control...and they are for the most part. Maybe he thought I could handle it........I don't know.
But I see what your saying about making the symptoms worse. Phentermine did me the same way.
what were you taking phentermine for. i got a script of those written up for weight loss. it's basically "perscription speed" and very good stuff i might add. great energy booster, mood enhancer, no bad crashes like the **** they sell over the counter.Maybe he gave the Adderall to me because he thinks the Bipolar symptoms are under control...and they are for the most part.

ADHD is very often misdiagnosed when in actuality it is bi-polar disorder. So basically you have one or the other. Bi-polar symptoms entail those of ADHD, so if you had ADHD symptoms, it means your bi-polar medication was not working. You don't take one med for ADHD and one for bi-polar disorder, it's one disorder, you can't have both.
Take home point -> Use the minimum dose that works to sharpen your mind--the euphoria is tempting but in the end it will cause more problems than it solves.

I see your point. It doesn't help I have an addictive personality.

It is a capsule.......30 mg extended release.is it a capsule?
--i think it somewhat depends on your personality and your own character traits--it may tend to intensify some of your own behavioral tendencies/traits.
i'd also strongly recommend going off of it on the weekends, and during vacations--you really don't want to be on it every day. sometimes it is nice to just go off and veg-out for a while. being 'on' all the time is exhausting.
--which toasts the receptors and can destroy domamine stem cells. adderall, in the normal theraputic dosage range (around 5-60mg/day) would not be expected to have any of these effects/B]
