Adderoll...OMG..I’m HIGH | ADHD Information

Only you can determine if the "high" is worth the benefits of taking it. Which is worse?  the symptoms or the treatment?  If you really don't like it taking the "me" out of "me" then you might want to reconsider.  medication isn't the only answer and it's not for everyone. 

not all shoes fit the same feet. :)

On Monday I got a prescription for 20mg ER Adderoll because the Ritalin was doing nothing for me.

Took a dose on Monday (not realizing how different it was to the Ritalin) at 11.30am. Hit me like a Mack truck and I was HIGH. Couldn't sleep at all that night.

Tuesday I didn't take any because to be honest with not sleeping at all the night before I was just not feeling well.

Wednesday - took a dose early and felt high all day...but did get some things accomplished

Thursday - took a dose early and felt high all day - I mean HIGH...spacey, happy, not all there high.

I need some advice here...I presume after taking it for a while that I'm going to get use to it and not feel as high BUT what is that saying and doing to my brain???? DO I want my body to get used to being that way? How do you (on Adderoll) deal with it. While I really hate the symptoms of ADD I think I hate the artificial buzz that I have to have to get over them.

I've spent my whole life watching what I put into my body and now I'm voluntarily taking a drug that a street junkie would kill for .

Does anyone else feel this way? I just don't know what to do. I don't want to take it again. When I take it...it really does take the "me" out of "me".
So people taking this stuff feel like this all the time? How on earth is it even legal for people to drive ?!

I think I'd rather live with ADHD and all of it's symptoms.

I read posts from parents worried that their kids will turn into zombies if they take this stuff...jimmney cricket - they WILL Yes, it help you to focus but at what cost?

Isn't there anything out there that's natural that can help us without living in a drug induced haze?

Okay...better post a follow up so anyone else new to taking meds know what they may have to expect.

I've noticed today that my "high" has dramatically changed. In fact today I don't feel any high - I just feel the benefits of the Adderoll. I guess like any other medication it takes a week for your body to get used to it.

Day one terrified me...wish someone had warmed me lol. Although today I'm feeling a very slight buzz the benefits way outweigh it and I'm presuming it will only get better still. I'm really glad because I do want to be able to think without being in utter confusion about everything. Today I feel like the bright, organized person I was always meant to be
