Dave wrote:Wow, thanks for the well written information, Squatch. I don't take it on the weekends so I can cleanse my system for lack of a better term. I try to only take it on demand when I'm working, and even then I only take 1 - 10mg IR a day. My doctor wanted to prescribe me 20mg XR like I used to take, but I requested the lowest dose. After 6 months I still feel it provides the desired effect. 20mg XR sends me to the euphoric state, and that's where I don't want to be on a daily basis. I also don't experience a crash in mid day on the 10mg and I don't really notice when it's wearing off. 1 French press worth of coffee each morning, and that's all the stimulants I need for the day.

I can't say I've ever experienced any withdrawal symptoms, but it's possible I just missed them. I know on Monday if I take the pill and chase it with a strong cup of coffee I still get that euphoric feeling, but only slightly. Tuesday - Friday I just feel the effects on my concentration, and it doesn't provide the energetic feeling. That's my ideal right there because it's usually worn off completely by the time I get home and making dinner. It doesn't cause me any sleep issues at all.

How so if you don't mind me asking?


Off Adderall I have an insanely high sex drive. Borderline sexual addition is how it's been described. On Adderall it's dropped down to what my friends describe as normal. Instead of making decisions that revolve around sex, I am now focusing on important things. I'm also less sympathetic to negativity in my life. It's easy to cut losses and move on these days because I can evaluate the level I can tolerate certain behavior and make clear decisions on whether to leave them in my life.

I also drink way way less than I used to. The desire is almost entirely gone.

It's a shame your parents hooked you on this stuff at a young age, but when your body reacts strangely while using ANYTHING, (prescribed, recreational it doesn't matter) it's most always associated with drug use which is altering the chemicals of your body and brain..

Next time instead of taking drugs to stay up to do homework, go to fucking sleep! That's what your body wants. listen to it!Homework can wait or just not get finished on time. It's far less important than your own health..

Yeah man, I have a feeling you need a lot of help Lil' Mams. You seem like your intentions are decent enough man, but there may be several points of leverage that are diminishing your consciousness that you need to sort out to reclaim your natural potentials, or discover them.
