I have had problems focusing my entire life I'm now 20 years old and just want to see what my options are. I want to experiment and see if theirs anything I can do to better my focus. If It doesn't work it doesn't work. I've been told aderall is really helpful with focusing but also very addictive and bad for you. I'm just asking you guys in the drug discussion forum because you guys don't judge and more then likely someone here has taken it or is taking it. Opinions and advice are what I'm looking for and will be appreciated.
Well go talk to a doctor and try what they give you, make sure you are honest to them about the effects and whether something helps you because if it doesn't they will change medication. Everyone reacts differently so its better to find out what the best solution for you as an individual is.
I used to be prescribed vyvanse, took them every day for a few months, got pretty addicted, and when I look back on it I was depressed as fuck back then from them. Thats just me though.
I used to take addies alot and self medicate in a way, pretty much taking 30mg every day, and when I stopped having enough money I quit just like that. I never really had an addiction to them. They were so much happier and nicer than vyvanse for me, theyd always make me in the best mood all day. With vyvanse i was a fucking dick to everyone.
Thats just me though, the thing with ADD/ADHD meds is everyones effected differently.
For example, my friend loves concerta, for me they dont do anything except make me feel like shit. Some people like ritalin, some people hate it. etc etc
so if you experiment with some and take it lightly and be careful you probably won't get addicted. Just dont be a dumbass and take another one every time you come down or something ha, thats when the sleep deprivation/mania all that shit kicks in.
Obviously another four letter Acronym, AIDS.
Or that other thing that starts with an "a"
[sp] adderall [/sp]
Alright dumbs, a man can't post silly things under the influence? In the DD section! :v:
Vyvanse
Pure d amphetamine that lasts for like twelve plus hours.
Basically its taking the market by storm
most doctors will give you methylphenidate (ritalin, concerta) to try first
ritalin is a hit or miss. Some people love it, some people hate it.
if ritalin doesn't work, you'll likely be given some amphetamine like dex or adderall
Everybody is different. Personally I think vyvanse would work best for me because I'm prone to drug abuse, and it lasts almost all day.
I really need to get myself a vyvanse script.
I'm thinking of asking my doctor about switching from Adderall XR to Vyvanse, but isn't Vyvanse like super expensive or something?
smoke weed everyday

They have a program called ShireCares and they hook you up with free stuff. You have to be below a certain level of income though. I take Vyvanse and it works pretty good.
just go take meth. it's cheaper than a prescription and you can make it at home too!

They are giving people with ADHD pure d-amph? Holy shit I need to get a script of that.

Adderall is terrible, don't take it. Personally I hated depending on something 24/7, because it sucks all ass when you forget to take one or don't have one with you in the middle of the day. Vyvance is better, but more pricy. It's less noticable than adderall and it lasts longer, so you don't have to worry about crashing in the middle of the day if you don't have one.
In my opinion, you shouldn't take any drugs to do anything about adhd, it may help you focus more, but your inattention is part of your personality, and it'ss not fun seeing that part of yourself go. It's also easy to help your attention without the use of drugs too, just find a book on neuroplasticity.
That being said, if you do end up taking adderall or vyvanse, don't start taking it during the summer or some time when you have nothing to do for large amounts of time, you start to go insane, especially if you are around crazy people, you start to fixate on them and argue with them.

if you're down with neurotoxicity, sure.
Vyvanse is insanely costly

is meth really any more neurotoxic than d-amp or amphetamine? i thought the main thing that was neurotoxic about it was the hightened levels of dopamine.
idk either way that was a facetious comment.

Neurotoxicity occurs whenever you have serotonin and dopamine being released in large quantities. This is because serotonin gets 'stuck' in dopamine receptors and is never taken up after that. It may sound crazy but it's true. Meth releases a lot more serotonin than pure amphetamine I'm pretty sure, so the chances of neurotoxicity occurring are much higher.

that just means take less meth, in theory.
Low dose Modafinil? 50mg a day?
[QUOTE=Fire Feure;42085503]Low dose Modafinil? 50mg a day?[/QUOTE]
Modafinil is something I've been interested in trying for my ADD, but I don't really know how I would go about getting any. Do doctors prescribe it? I thought it was still a pretty experimental thing.
I tried Modafinil and personally hated it. It made me very anxious and felt like a slightly less anxiogenic caffeine. I know some people find it really helps them though, so it's worth a shot. It's not illegal so can be bought online fairly safely in the UK.
Ritalin?
