just some overall comments on this disscusion
i currently take 20mg adderal XR daily
my thoughts on ADD and the use of Stimulants
1. If you abuse adderal it means you have a drug problem, it doesnt mean you don't have ADD
-i used to abuse adderal and i am very ADD (i also am a drug addict)2. Stimulants are the most effective way to deal with ADD. ALL other treatments are less effective. (thats not what drug-pamplets/FDA says but its defently the truth)
3. ADD is "slightly" overdiagnosed, not the insane amount of overdiagnosis that is heard.
4. all of the anti-ADD/anti-Amphetimine crap that seems to be going around recently is created by government propaganda (FDA) to stop or significantly lower the amount of available abusable prescription drugs in the drug market.
(the same case for opiates and benzos) this insane bashing of prescription amphetimines will create the same problem for people with ADD getting adderal as anxiety sufferors getting benzos.
