Is it normal to believe being on adderall has destroyed certain brain function

I seriously doubt that an FDA approved drug permanently damaged any function in your brain; the drug companies are corrupt, but it's not legal to turn people into zombies yet. After 2 years, it's possible you just forgot what you felt like before you were taking it regularly- adolescence is also a wacky time with tons of hormones and chemicals bouncing around anyway.

I've been on and off Adderall since I was 13 and I'm almost 21, so that's 7 years with no negative ramifications on my capacity to function.

i plan to kill all the fatcats in the prescription drug business for inflicting harm and causing addiction when all the people really need is to smoke a bowl and chill.

Been prescribed for yr.s & yr.s😱...I LOVE THEM💊💯%.... Adderall makes everyone feel different I've been on the adderall IR for a few yr.s(been on another (POWDER😷 too at the same time ALWAYS had coffee or red bull with it😜)til the XR newer version came out been on the xr for MORE coming yr.s💓😂NEVERED had any problems at ALL ONLY got ALOT of things done from college homework to work(truck loading)& still going very strong even at the GYM🆒🆗 for yr.s & probably MORE coming yr.s 42 now & still loving it.......

Try taking hemp oil and Ginkgo Bilbao. You might also want to see a neurologist for an MRI, just to see if there's something that psychically causes your issues. Though, it might be best if you see the neurologist first before you start taking the hemp oil and the Ginkgo Bilbao.

Possibly some drugs will do that. If you were taking the hard core drugs from the institutions apparently they give people sedatives which puts that in a retarded state. I cant imagine how that would be good for your brain after prolonged use. As well as that if you were diagnosed with ADD/ADHD as a child its said that those type of medications have done such things as stunted growth, and said to damage children since they are still developing. So really these type of drugs should not be administered unless absolutely necessary and ADD/ADHD is something easily controlled by altering environment apposed to simply drugging up your children. When introduced to someone who does not have ADD/ADHD it has the affect of speed. So basically its like feeding people crack. Some medications have even cuase children to become suicidal when the point of them was fixing depression/ADD/ADHD. Also things like OCD is often misdiagnosed as ADD/ADHD.

Same thing happpened to me im sure....

I've been on Ritalin or Adderall on and off since I was about 13 too and haven't had (too many) negative side effects. I occasionally (all the time) twitch but still (don’t) maintain (any) control over my motor functions. And my higher brain functions (don’t exist) work like a charm. (At all.)

But seriously. I have been on and off both Ritalin and Adderall since I was 13. I get the occasional tremor in my hands but only when I have caffeine. And that's it for side effects. I agree with Don and whatshesaid. It sounds like you never established that baseline before you hit Temporary Hormone Induced Insanity (often referred to as adolescence). I got a non XR prescription and take it whenever I feel like I need it. But there are definite times, like DonQuixote said, where being mellowed out is great and other times when you NEED the butterflies and the jitters.

If it helps you sleep at night, think about how many people are on it - some people for most of their life - and there have been no re-evaluations of its effects on the human brain. So long as you take it as directed (most of the time) it's my belief that you're fine.

I've been on and off adderrall for years and have no similar side effects to anything you guys have mentioned.
I do, however, notice a difference in my powers of thought when I'm on or off it, and the only balance I've found with it (I fear I enjoy it too much sometimes) is that there's a time to be mellow and cool-headed and there's a time when a heightened sense of thought is necessary.

i was prescribed Adderall, soon after i started taking it i couldn't taste certain things, like banannas or chocolate.

Yea

i think it could,i had a similar expirince but with another chemical

Try taking krill oil capsules. I got Dr. Mercolas. They are supposed to help increase your brain function, along with lots of other health benefits.

Your shit is ruined.
