Yeah it was self medication. You shouldnt take double your dose of amphetamine salts but I've been under pressure to study for my exam and to write computer code for a living which my brain functionally cannot do on it's own. I have a high tolerance to just 30MG of adderall. It doesn't work on it's own. Also, that may have messed up the doctor's diagnosis. He tested me for mania but I Was on 45MG of Adderall instead of 30. I asked him about 'self medicating' and if it was an issue unique to bipolars or something that effects depressed people as well. I don't know if it is self medicating or my internal drive for success hving me on the 'edge' with coffee and uppers. One cannot deny the positive effects that a cigarette w/ nicotine delivers (as previously mentioned). I'm still a functional mess without it. But my tolerance break should do the trick of making his prescribed maximum of 40MG work eventually.
