Social problems on Adderall? | ADHD Information

I think I've been on Adderall since I was 12. I was diagnosed with ADD and an auditory processing problem when I was 5 years-old. Not sure what I was on from age 5 to 12. Ever since I was 12 I have had a problem with socialization. Especially with the opposite sex. Adderall I feel, increases my social inhibitions that ADD has. In order to make me concentrate, the medication stimulates a part of my brain that ADD affects. Well, not only does it stimulate so I can think, but it also stimulates and increases my social inhibitions by 10 fold.

With ADD I have a problem recognizing empathy with other people. Meaning I do things that turn people off and I have no idea of the impact that it has on other people. Every guy I've dated has left me because I do and say things without really thinking of the consequences.

I also feel like everyone understands me when I say something or do something. Anyone else experience the same? After my last break-up with a very decent guy, I'm through with this medication, it's ruining my life!

Well ADHD is typically considered a lifelong condition, though over
time we manage it better. Basically we catch up with everyone on a
emotional maturity level.. I found it took me long to recognize when be
a good listener ,as it felt normal to interuptothers and talk past them. I
was very rude.
learned to make decisions about meds while in the presence of my
prescribing physician. My tendency was to self medicate I missed a lot
of opprtunities to focus on self improvement by NOT allowing myself
to seek a doctors direction. Thing is as we grow. From child to adult
not only do our bodies change but so does our need for specific types
of meds. I was disappointed with my meds that I was still forgetful and
had less impulse control. My wife wanted me to to choose between
her or meds. . I talked to my doctor. Then also included her in some
of my sessions , what took from all that was I made better decisions
when not facing everything alone, that my ADHD was bigger than me.
How I manage it determines my outcomes and goals.
