The only noticeable improvement Adderall made to
my life besides my mood was my golf game. I dropped
that a long time ago..stuck around a 10 hcp. Picked it
up again and was shooting almost par golf.Always stunk at sports (horrible coordination). At baseball I would swing
after the ball hit the catchers mit. When I was taking Adderall,
it seemed my "muscle memory" and hand-eye whole body coordination
just sort of came together...weird.PS I've been reading through a lot of my posts and I've noticed how
disheveled they are (people must think I'm dyslexic). Believe me, I'm not this horrendous.
It's this stupid dinky, little, Netscape box that scrolls off to the right that is only 4 inches big.
I have to scroll it left and right just to see what I typed on every sentence.
When you type a sentence does the whole thing disappear to the left while you type it?
That's a problem for us ADDer's, because we forget what we are typing on the sentence while
we are typing it. I hate scrolling back to the left just to see what I recently typed!-John

> Yes, again I agree. That's not to say if you don't abuse drugs, you're not ADD. I took meth once, & once only. I felt SO good & SO normal. But the attraction was so powerful, it scared me, especially as I saw other friends get addicted. Caffeine does nothing for me. I can take Wake-Up pills & sleep on them, but maybe I'm very UNsensitive to caffeine.

> And lastly John, I don't get bored easily either. That doesn't mean you're not ADD. I can stick to something & finish it, specially if I'm hyperfocusing on it. I hate being stopped in the middle of something. The two things that have held my interest consistently through all the years is animals & growing plants. That's why I figure I need to find a career in plants. Another reason for the interest in plants is it's impossible to learn everything about it. It's a constant learning process in the science behind all of it.
