Well its 3:15 am in the morning and i'm still up from damn adderall. I have a love/hate relationship with it. I'm prescribed it. But i think i'm going to end up haveing AP keep it from me and only give me so much per day. lol

Well its 4:20 am now. I guess i'm going to try and get some shut eye before i have to wake up for class at 6:30 am.

either your clock is off or the SM clock is off because the time of your posts does not match your posted time. LOL

Yea, it's the same here. I think it's the SM clock. I have 8:50 Central and it says 9:37 here.

The sm clock runs a good 45-50 minutes earlier than the real time.

As for the adderall, my daughter takes ritalin for school and with the regular 3 times a day dosing she'd have difficulty falling asleep at night, but the extended release seems to be better and it doesn't ruin her appetite as much either. Is there a long acting adderall available?

Also, what time did you take your last dose...you shouldn't take it past around 5pm or it will definitely give you difficulty sleeping!

Well when i'm looking at the board it says 4:46. And here it is 10:00 am.


Well i never got any sleep. I just got back from school and i told the teacher i had to leave cause i haven't had any sleep. And yes Puddles they make time released adderall. I have 2 different type, I have time released and quick realease. You'd freak if you knew how much i ended up taking yesterday. But it was way to much. And now i'm going to bed.

adderral is the cause of and solution to a lot of problems. tread lightly.

What Tinfish said. This stuff can be VERY addictive if not taked properly. WATCH YOUR 6 ON THIS STUFF. BB

[rvgfrth4g]

Well I've been on it for 2 yrs now. And i've actually done pretty good on it up until recently a couple times now.

[Tinfish]

i was up for 84 straight hours once when i was abusing the stuff. it took 5 ambiens to get me asleep.

Once you start taking it, it's hard to stop becuase you keep wanting that high. It's helped me make the dean's list though. It's also kinda fun to take for recreational reasons. :doggy: ;)

I would not recommend any of these drugs especially for kids. I personally consider them a cop out. Focus on diet and exercise. We are over medicated and teaching our kids to reach for the pharmacy everytime we need help.

[rvgfrth4g]

Well don't worry i'm not a kid. I started taking them when i was 23yrs old. But yes i agree with you they do over prescribe kids. As in kids still in elementary and high school. I'm glad i was never put on this in high school.

[AsianPersuasian]

I really don't see how they can prescribe kids adderal. It's literally a legal speed. Being 20 I can barely handle it, but I can't even imagine how it effects little kids.

[Puddles]

When the right meds are prescribed for ADD/ADHD they should not speed you out. The right stimulants in a true ADHD person will have an opposite effect and will sedate them. It is when the medication wears off that they tend to speed back up again for a while. If you're getting a speedy effect from them you probably don't really have ADD/ADHD or you should try a different medication.
