I Do Have ADD But I Also Think Im Addicted to Adderall

Understand that adderall is an Amphetamine, and these drugs effect people in different ways. One of the side effects listed for adderall is paranoia, so you could be experiencing comfort issues in public because of this.

I have also read cases where ADD diagnoses are made incorrectly for bipolar cases and this drug has caused problems.

It is also recommended that those with an overative Thyroid problem not take this drug.

Remember that this is a Schedule II controlled substance and can become addictive. You need to tell your doctor about the side effects you are experiencing so that he can take that into consideration when determining your dosage

I'm on Adderall and I do find that it suppresses my appetite somewhat, but not enough to be a concern. My doctor did tell me to tell her if I start losing weight. Also I seem to eat more slowly for some reason. I actually do better socially with the adderall because I focus better on the conversation.

I take adderall and after about 3 years of it it reversed its effects. i gained about 100 or 150 pounds, no energy at all, stopped my flower creations, added to my insomnia plus i have sleep apnea,and so on, however, i was on apetite suppresants for years and it kept me skinny, gave me a boost,took care of my hair, makeup etc, but ambition is gone even to try and excerise which is the key and sunshine...... but God also used this bad (abusing)and turned it into 20 years of bible study,and i filled up on knowledge of everything going on. so though you reap what you sow,and you will down the road, God still uses your mistakes and does amazing things in spite of our failure. I help and counsel many people and keep them updated on things and I have great understanding of the word of God, and its a great blessing as long as you can keep down alot of flattery, which puffs one up and many do that. but it is the Holy Spirit that works in me and makes a difference to others and bares good fruit, sometimes its the flesh though and that bares no results, bad fruit and pride. sum it up, in the beginning, it always works well,feels good...... but theres always the other side of reaping and I have reaped what i sowed in my younger years. that saying is true, if I knew then what I know now , I would have done it differently! or would I?
Love, DEB
