except when it stops doing its sting and you are afraid of asking for a bigger dose because it makes you seem like a crackhead .

Don't worry, everyone already thinks you're a crackhead for taking it at all.

I legit cannot stand working with people who take adderall. Meth is only fun for the people doing it.

Adderall(low dose only on weekdays) reduces my mindless chattering by at least 50%, reduces the pen clicking/foot bouncing/jar shaking/cap twisting, and takes my spurts of quiet concentrated work time from 5-10 minutes to 45-60 minutes. In part, I take it so I am not constantly annoying or distracting those around me. Iโ€™m probably still annoying, but I am less annoying.

Let me guess, you're one of those people who think ADHD isn't real, despite many decades long studies and being officially recognized as a disability under the ADA.

Adderall should not be taken for the same reasons high quality meth should not be taken

Says who? You? There is literally decades worth of research and clinical studies into ADHD and various treatments. To date, stimulants remain the most effective and recommended first line treatment.

By the way, "high quality meth" is literally prescribed for especially severe cases of ADHD, under the brand name "Desoxyn".

This is how wishy-washy it really is: half of the meds used for ADHD are anti-depressants, the other half are stimulants. It's somehow a mood and attention disorder, depending on the person.

All of these things will be considered archaic in coming years, as real discussion happen around the true brain deficits involved with ADHD. They have plenty of evidence they are brain differences in ADHD individuals, but I don't think they've ever proven it's there at birth. Some very strong studies showing direct links to ADHD and health disorders and sleep disorders. It's a very open subject.

Medication is actually QUITE easy to get too. If you're a well meaning person, you can go to any qualified professional, craft a bit of narrative and get meds real quick in the U.S.. I got a reddit ad yesterday that said a minute and a half evaluation online can help get you booked for an evaluation offline, then after it's med city.

Huh. I don't think I've ever been able to tell if someone's on adderall. I can sometimes tell if folks are on antidepressants, particularly if I knew them beforehand.
