Adderall its worth the risk

by michael
(Texarkana TX)

Hello I am 33 years old and I have had ADHD for over ten years and the Adderall that I take really helps me I can focus understand things that I could not in the past and it keeps me calm sleeping is not the best but to me it is great so I have to have it.

Strattera doesnt help me only amphetamens will work like other medications there is a health risk so its worth it because with out it I cant hold a job that has a future worth a flip Im in the real world I have to take meds I have ADHD realy bad.

The problem was not that you didn't have your medication. The problem was that you didn't know what was causing your symptoms.

So you didn't deal with them.

Once you understand what inflames your symptoms, you can reduce them to about nothing and function just fine without medication.

That's up to you. If you wont bother with the effort, then you are better off taking medication.

by: Anonymous

I realized too late that I needed Adderall to function in my job as a teacher. I graduated Cum Laude from college...thanks to being able to focus with the Adderall. I started off as an amazingly dynamic and inspiring teacher. I decided one day that I didn't need my medication anymore. Boy was that a horrible mistake. I became unorganized and lost all focus. It became a total nightmare. I quickly resigned to allow the district to hire a full time teacher instead of leaving my students with one substitute after another. Getting off of my Adderall ruined my life. Finances have hit rock bottom and now my ex husband wants to take my children from me. I have since gotten back on my medication, but it wasn't worth the losses I took to attempt to be without it...I should've known.
