Loumama,
I agree about the kidding about addiction. No laughing matter. I'm wanting to know a little more about your Adderall experience. Have you been dx with ADHD? If so, what type (Combined, inattentive). Have you been taking Adderall very long? At what dosage schedule? I too seriously struggle with concentration and focus difficulties, whether it is just trying to organize and get work done or just trying to converse with someone. Very frustrating. It always has been. I have just recently considered the possibility of ADHD after years of fighting an uphill battle with depression. Inattentiveness seems to be at the core, though. Sorry so long- if you could provide any info about your experience I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks! MarkG

PRESCRIBED THEM TO ME, AND GOT A ALMOST SPACEY FEELING. I UNDERSTOOD THIS MYSELF AND WENT BACK TO MY REGULAR 20 MG. IN THE MORNING DOSE. ADDERALL HAS HELPED ME WITH ALOT OF THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT TAKE FOR GRANTED, LIKE STAYING FOCUSED AND REALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAIL. NOT ONLY IN MY WORK, BUT IN WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING AND HOW PEOPLE ARE FEELING. THE ONLY THING I CAN REALLY SAY ABOUT ADDERALL IS THAT IT SEEMS TO HAVE BROUGHT ME OUT OF MYSELF. (IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE TO ANYONE ON ADDERALL). BY THE WAY I AM A 37 YEAR OLD MOM OF THREE, AND ILL TELL YOU I AM GLAD I MADE THAT ONE VISIT TO MY DRS. IT HAS CHANGED ALOT OF THINGS IN MY LIFE, BUT ONE THING I LEARNED IS THAT IT IS REALLY EASY TO TAKE MORE IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WANT TO, BUT I REALIZED THE DRUG DID ME SO MUCH GOOD, THAT ILL ONLY FALL BACK EVEN FURTHER IN MY OLD WAYS THAT IT IS NOT WORTH IT! IF I WAS YOU I WOULD GET MY FRIEND ASIDE AND THE TWO OF YOU MAYBE HELP EACH OTHER THROUGH GETTING OFF THIS, IT WONT GET BETTER. GOOD LUCK!
