Is it normal to be obsessed with my adderall?

This is completely normal. Adderall is a functional drug that allows you to think and behave the way people who do not have ADD can regularly. Your mom sounds exactly like my mom and is being paranoid because she does not have ADD and cannot relate.

I take 50 mg per day and it really helps me out. I think of it like wearing glasses. I can get by without them, but life is much easier with the pills. The main thing is to make sure that you never cheat and increase the dosage. I also try to stop taking them on vacation, just to check how bad the withdrawl is. I am usually pretty lethargic for the first two days and then I feel fine. Might be tough with three kids, though (bad enough with one).

I have pretty bad add but I (tell myself) I can deal with it lol. I just don't want to kill my creativity by taking amfetamines daily... but I know a guy who really got his life together when he started taking ritalin. just compare the good to the bad ... also I would look up side effects of long term useage... it's legal but still amfetamines.

Ever had a man on adderall suck you off? It is great because they get hung up on procedure and you end up with a nice long thorough blowjob.

I believe the appropriate words would be addiction. Adderrall has been known to be addictive and also toxic. Just as Ritalin is, it is also an amphetamine substance. You may want to quit taking it (not cold turkey) because it has been known to burn up brain cells. I used to take Adderrall and it turned me into someone I was not.

Don't worry what your Mum thinks. I'm 23 and have been on anti-depressants for over a year and I never knew life could be this good! If you or myself are on meds for the rest of our lives without side effects, then there's no problem!

I hate doing work when I'm not on it but when I am it's extrememly enjoyable

Sounds like you have become psychologically dependent on your medication. I recommend you talking to your doctor and letting him know that you feel as though the medication is controlling your life and wish to be taken off the medication. He will most likely agree with you and taper you off the medication. It does sound like you are suffering from clinical depression. There are other medications that are not addictive that are able to treat your depression. Using something like adderall to treat depression will only treat some of the symptoms of depression such as low energy. Once you build a tolerance to the adderall you will be back at square one with a dependence on adderall. Adderall will only serve as a temporary way to treat the symptoms. You need to talk to your doctor and find a therapist to help you find the root of your problem. It is never a good thing to become dependent on your medication, especially a stimulant like adderall.

Thank you guys!!! I don't abuse them but I guess you could say I amaddicted. I keep trying to tell my mother that theese arnt making me incoherent or out of it... These make me normal and how I should be instead of how I was! I think she also might be a little freeked out by it because my sister is addicted to colonipen and she is always out of it.... I think I'll be ok and I will continue to take them unless for some reason the risks start to outweigh the benefits...... One thing the adderall hasn't helped me with tho is my spelling lol :)

personally i think there is nothing wrong with depending on a medicine with that said i have been on a bunch of adhd medicines for my adhd and i just don't find them addictive at all benzos on the other hand i can get enought

You're addicted to it and that's completely normal when you're taken an addictive drug. I'm like that with my pain medication. I have fibromyalgia and absolutely cannot function without it! Be careful taking more than is prescribed because it will up your tolerance and before you know it you'll be taking even more. If you run out early you'll either have to buy it on the streets or go through withdrawl. Both are very risky!

It sounds like you do have add and that the main issue is your mothers pressure on you to question the medication. If it helps you feel like you function normally then it is helping therefore good for your state of mind. I couldn't imagine being a mom and not being able to continually focus on what the kids need to get done and what you need to get done too. I have been anti depressants and anti axienty meds for about two years now and my father keeps telling me I shouldn't turn to meds. I just need to deal with it. He's the reason I need the meds so listening to him seems conterproductive. Your mom doesn't know what's going on in your head only you do. If you think it is necessary then go see the doctor about what you think is wrong with the medacine. If you don't just take it.

Any time you begin to question a medication & its use or your worry of depending on it, I feel it is becoming an issue. It might not be a physical issue, meaning you need rehab or something...but it IS bothering you mentally. My opinion is you should talk to your doctor about it, and your worries. He'll be able to answer a lot of questions, and your fears. ---I have been on anti-anxiety medications since I was 18, now 24. I have yet to be able to come off them & dont know if I ever will. I can not go w/o them, otherwise my quality of life is seriously altered mentally & physically. People without these types of issues think that you can just fix it & be off the meds, its not always the case. Good luck!
