Is it normal for someone with ADHD to easily become addicted to meth?

  • Yes, and it is not a good idea. I will tell you about the difference of adhd medication and street meth.

    ADHD has several types of medications that can be prescribed. Some include mixed amphetamines(Adderall), dextroamphetamine(Dexadrine), methylphenidate(Ritalin) and methamphetamine(Desoxyn) as well as several other types of stimulants. All of them have potential to become addictive, especially if used incorrectly.

    Yes, there is a such thing as prescription methamphetamine, but it is rarely prescribed and I am not sure if it is even legal in the U.S.
    Prescription meth (Desoxyn) is not the same as street meth you get from the Joe Crackhead behind Walmart.
    The difference is that prescription meth is manufactured by the government in fancy labs run by scientists while street meth is made in a grimy meth lab ran by tweakers who don't care what they put in it or how clean their lab is. Unless you are a top dollar drug connoisseur I guarantee what you get will be disgusting and horrible for you. Do not even think about it.

    The government meth will be in a pill form unlike the stuff you get from the streets and it isn't nearly as bad but it will still be highly addictive and I have no idea who would prescribe something like that.

    I have heard tweakers use the excuse (it's just like Adderall) No, it's not. I am against giving these drugs to kids for any reason, but for adults who have already developed their brain, I think they can benefit some people if used properly.

    I have taken Adderall as prescribed in the past and it was helpful but now I am taking Modafinil, which works better for me. I am thankful my parents did not put me on meds as a kid despite my behavior problems, because I think they would have stunted my brain development, but as an adult I choose to take meds. If you decide to try medication I recommend only taking them as prescribed and stay the fuck away from street meth.
