Adderall...anybody take it?

I'd try changing your study environment first. If you study at home, stop. Go to a library or the student union or some place where there are many people studying (but none that you know hopefully). I find that if everyone else around me is studying, then there is a peer pressure sort of feeling to do it as well. It also provides a moderate level of distraction which is ideal (too little is bad and obviously too much is bad). If it can be avoided, stay the hell away from a computer with the internet. This is what has helped me in my 4 years of undergrad and 6 years of grad school.

no man, I can only get off with the Legend of Zelda Theme playing. It tends to turn the ladies off when they're over (goats don't seem to mind it though), but that's the only way I roll.

Yeah man, tell me about it. Like I said, I usually make it about 3/4 through a paragraph before I'm already doing something else and don't even know it. And, probably about 15% into that paragraph I started skipping words and jumping sentences.

Stuff like math though, i was able to concentrate on that. When I have to solve a problem, or figure out something challenging I can get into it. When it comes down to reading "how" to do it, then I've got a problem.

Here's a funny story:

I have a mix of songs on my iTunes that are lighter songs/acoustic/orchestral. Well, my GF at the time came over and I played the mix. This is where it gets interesting, so we start doing the no pants dance when the orchestral version of the theme to The Legend of Zelda starts to play. Without a doubt, the funniest moment while I have had sex ever. Naturally, I told all of my friends and they, being fellow dorks, thought it was awesome. I asked her if she noticed what was playing and she said yes, but was trying to ignore it. However, just for knowing the theme, I contend she is a dork as well.

Kwyck, I usually took 5-10mgs a day, usually mid-day for 3-5 day shots, depending on how in depth I needed to study/write...

Good deal. I got 15mg (3x5mg) today to try out. I'll give it a shot when I do homework this weekend.

Thx for the input.

Any advice on what to say to the General Physician other than describing my symptoms?

You cannot escape a computer in my house or at my campus :( I've got like 8 comps all over my house and the uni is loaded with comps of course.
 
my friend Tara and i used to get ripped up on addies. her brother got them for his ADD but he didnt like them so she took them for us. very good time. has a very coke+extasy feeling plus you can drink like a fish all night.

oh to be 19 again..........
 
If you describe the symptoms that you did here and tell him that you have tried different methods of getting rid of distractions, I think he'll have no problem giving oyu a low dose script.
 
Yoga & breath control has worked far better for me than any of the stims prescribed for ADD.

I was "diagnosed" about 15 years ago; I've been prescribed ritalin, dexedrine, adderall (amphetamine salts), modafinil & I think one or 2 others. I hate 'em all - the unpleasant physical & peripheral sensations accompanying the "treatment" are as bad as (or worse than) the focus issues.

Over the years I've evolved a stack of my own that works pretty darn well, at least for me: alpha-GPC (choline), n-acetyl tyrosine, seligeline, aniracetam, hydergine, sulbutiamine. occasionally a *little* ephedrine (like 1/4 the usual dose).

Much more important was learning to focus on my breathing when I find my attention beginning to wander, bring myself "back into" my body, and 'flush out' the distracting elements, which is sometimes greatly enhanced by a few minutes of yoga.

May sound airy-fairy, but it works. So much of how we operate is strictly habit, and breaking those habits really means using ourselves differently, whether that's mental, physical, emotional, whatever. Shouldn't be hard for a personal-transformation type like you to see that bodybuilding is also just learning to use one's self differently, and the "mental game" is a very powerful ally either way.

So yeah ADD = uncontrolled focus; achieving and asserting intentional focus is the name of that game & the drugs just help that happen (when they help at all).

my 2¢...
 
Alright, alright, none of this fruity wanker stuff ppl. Lets keep it to the hardcore drugs here. J/K Bodywizard, just messing with you. :D

I think I have one problem w/ your method though, I'd have to concentrate on what I'm doing. :lol:
 
i personally had the same prob BD has... used to smoke like a chimney and could focus and calm down for everything, now that im off its tough as hell staying focused, i install alarms fo r aliving and im constantly going all random for my installs not completeing one task before i start another then coming back to finish and then go do something else again... the only thing thats come close to slowing me down enough again to focus and work in a orderly manner was neurobalance... Gaba has all the right effects on me allowing me to focus with out making me loopy or red eyed or piss bad on a Drug screen...
 
god i totally need it. It takes me tripple the amount of time to get things done and actually understand what I am looking at. I guess i did ok without it.. i am almost done with my PHD but i have to take breaks about evry 10 min or i just think about stupid stuff. My dr wont give it to me :-(
 
how tough is it to get a precript from the dr for adderall/
and how many visits did it take to get the prescription?

i got a script for adderall the first time i went to see the doc. i guess it really just depends on the doc though. i told my doc i think i have ADD because i cant focus and he asked me some questions then wrote the script.

some questions i was asked are similar to the ones in this wikipedia link: Invalid Link Removed
