Adderall

[JohnKing]

I take adderall to supplement Nuvigil for a sleeping disorder.  It is scary stuff and a pain in the ass getting the script refilled but it helps tremendously with concentration/focus and thankfully sleepyhead issues.  Crazy how the effects are so different with everyone.

Unfortunately for me (30's) age it is tough tryn to get a script for it. Modalert is what I use at the moment. Sy adds are WAY expensive.

My SYs don't even carry 10mg Novartis Ritalin any longer, much less 30mg Adderall...They tell me it is too hard to get.  I found a vendor in the IOP List that carries the Novartis Ritalin in 100 tab or 200 tab lots, but the price is astronomical...I used to get them from a well known and respected SY here for 1/4 of what this IOP sells them for.

Once the letters I'm waiting on now arrive, I'll have to try one of the top vendors in the IOP List, he has the Ritalin for reasonable prices.

But Adderall?  I saw one IOP list the ER version last week (at a decent price), and they were out of stock that same day.  Times sure have changed.

I'm in 50's age group I don't have a problem getting a script, it's the insurance company that's a pain in the arse. I take it for hypersomnia which is a little like narcolepsy.  (you wouldn't believe how many sleep studies I went through before being diagnosed).  Have you tried talking to your dr about EDS? (excessive daytime sleepines) Your Dr may not require you to go through the sleep studies for the diagnoses to get a script. Just a thought.

LOL. I can't help you with that other than to say do a little reading, when you go in tell her what you've tried, what did and didn't help.

^^^^ I agree with noahphex it's one of those things like Opiate products in the IOP game. Most of the time you arent getting any of the REAL active ingredients found in products manufactured and distributed here in North America. I have never taken the plunge and ordered any opiates from an SY or IOP vendor, but I have seen so many bad reviews on them that I wouldnt even waste my time. Plus, even when taken for legitimate reasons Opiates are very dangerouys and HIGHLY addictve. I know we are talking about adderal but I'm just using the opiates as a comparrison.

I ordered some addy's once from an iop...it came from a place most dont like to order from in the world .. but i tried it and it was fake..i dont know what it was but it wasn't adderal.. i would stay away from trying to order addy's from iop's...never tried the SY's they are way to expensive for me...but prob a better chance of being the realdeal...

The 30mg have been hard to come by with a script as of late where I live, my wife takes them and a lot of pharmacies have been out.

Even the 20mg are almost impossible to find at pharmacies - My youngest daughter's (the last one in college, and she's graduating this year, hallelujah - Our budget for fun stuff is going to increase dramatically now that we've paid for her last semester of her senior year tuition and residence hall) Doctor gave up hope after she wasn't able to find it for 6 weeks.  First he switched her to Ritalin, which makes her feel sick, then they finally settled on Focalin, which she seems to be pleased with.

If a person has real ADD or ADHD, Adderall doesn't provide all of the side effects you mentioned B2G.

I take Adderall and I've never lost my appetite, felt wired, experienced a crash when they have worn out or been unable to fall asleep.  It has the reverse effect on me.  It calms me and lets me focus on mundane tasks without getting sidetracked.  If I need to do a lot of multi-tasking I can't take it because I don't have the ability to change focus quick enough while on it.  

I wish I could lose my appetite, clean non-stop, etc., but it actually helps me with anxiety and social situations.  I'm lucky though as I didn't get the dry mouth or grinding of teeth as I don't need Dental Bills.

It's a weird med.  I have never experienced any side affects from stopping it for days or weeks as I take it depending on what my day looks like.  When first scripted I took it religiously and then learned, for me, that it didn't work well that way as I said at times I have to juggle 20 balls rather than write or read Tech Manuals or code.  

Others though, I agree if not a real Medical Diagnosis for it can have adverse side effects.  Not one to play with especially if you haven't had a physical to check your heart health out.

Excellent post.  I took adderall for years and had similar experiences.  Very true that some can stop and not skip a beat.  It is habitual in the sense if you have it and take it daily you do just that but when the bottle is empty it's no big deal.  I definitely drank more water but don't think that was a bad thing outside of more frequent bathroom trips.  In the end I found I preferred getting my focus through exercise.  I guess the drug has its place but it is just disruptive.  Doctor visits every 3 months was just for crap.  As far as I'm concerned most were just legal drug dealers.  It's so easy to get that if I wanted it I'd just go to a doctor.
