Don't take more than 5mg instant release at a time. You don't want to feel euphoria nor do you need to. Amphetamine has already boosted your neural receptor "performance" long before you feel euphoric. The problem is that people assume Adderall isn't working until they feel the buzzing euphoria and this guarantees both tolerance and addiction.

If you get a prescription, DONT TAKE IT DAILY. If you really must, take it only when you "need it." However, this philosophy quickly crumbles when you "need it" more and more, hence what is called a psychological addiction. I say don't take it daily because you probably aren't ADD/ADHD. You can function in life fine, but you procrastinate productivity. That is NOT a symptom of ADD/ADHD. You do NOT want to get on Adderall for daily life functions. It is pointless and detrimental. Try and get instant release so you can pop them only when you need a good productivity binge.

OOPS!!


If you have any questions, message me. Most of the patients I worked with went down the wrong path and I have a lot of friends that abuse Adderall.

OOPS!! x2
 


The XR's are pretty horrible and evil. I would advise against them if you really do have ADD, as it seems all of the real ADD folk have had very similar and nasty experiences.
 
Break important tasks into 5 minute bits, setting up word press , uploading websites then 10 minute bits for 3 days.
I had the same problem and since i cant afford adderall haha i had to find another way to get things done. I hate my fucking job so well so much for getting comfortable with driving drunk people around until some bitch started cocking a fucking fun in the back of my cab. Its time to go :). Just break what you have to get done into bits 5, 10 , 15 no adderall no coffee nothing just you.
Bro you really have to ask yourself if you have settled into your current life, do you see yourself down the road still doing the same shit. If you are still cormfortable with your current lifestyle then trust me you wont go anywhere, even if you glue your dick to your computer(why you would do that i have no fucking idea) you will never get anything back.
When you want to finally become fucking successful all the information you need is here on wf, aojon.com, bluehatseo.com . Trust me i learned that shit the hard way.

Dont beat yourself up if you have been working on the same job for over 3 years and have become comfortable with the kind of lifestyle the money you make allows you to have, Just start small . Get a small profitable campaign going, nothing serious and then build another and another and soon enough you will find wait a minute, i am making twice as much as i make at my fucking job without all the fucking hassle. Then just start focusing on mushrooming that into even more success.
Funny, dont think you are going to unhook from the matrix and get it right on your first jump. :)
 
Thanks for all the feedback, I went to a general practioner that I see sometimes and explained my symptoms and he prescribed Adderral but, he said to take 2 a day Mon.-Fri I have a months supply and to come back in a couple weeks for a blood test.

Although, I think 2 might be too much since I hear people talking about how addictive it can get so I'll probably keep it at 1 a day - Mon.-Fri. (I haven't checked how strong it is).

As for working outside the home, I do, I'm actually at the library right now. I just get a study room and it's kinda like having my own office. I don't mind being here, and I like getting out of the house but, it's just the lack of productivity that bothers me.

Financially, I'm not even where I should be, I think somewhere in the back of my mind I got comfortable since I don't have to work for anybody but, I'm really not making that much money. I'm making enough to get by but, not living how I'd like. No emergency funds, or anything like that.

I really hope these meds will help me work and not just make me feel good and want to waste time as mentioned above. I kinda have the personality that I do whatever I want even if it's not right for me so I hope it doesn't get to that. It's not that I don't want to work, it's that I feel like I can't. Like a brickwall is infront of me whenever I try to do anything that has to do with learning or having to do with work. Maybe it's since I dropped out of college after a couple months and never really did well in school that all this learning is something my mind is getting used to?
 
I've always been against taking drugs as a mental crutch. Nothing wrong with occasional recreational use though! =)

About 18 months ago I had 20+ unfinished projects going on. I'd get into them heavily for a few days or even a couple weeks. But I rarely finished anything.

I actually felt pissed that these boring things were hanging over my head. I pushed through a few of them and began to resent my work in AM. Since I couldn't envision doing anything else, I decided to talk to my doctor (wondering if I was ADD).

My family doctor sent me to a psychiatrist. He asked me a number of questions which I answered truthfully. Because I'm not 'hyper' an ADD issue never really occurred to me over the years. The psychiatrist thought I was likely ADD but wanted to try some other prescriptions first.

Wellbutrin was the first one. This is an anti-depresent (I think). It was kind of fun to take. I got so pumped up I cranked out a 20 page guide-style website in 4 days., then finished others I had previously started. I didn't sleep for days a time. I really liked Wellbutrin, but I felt this was unhealthy. My mind was racing with ideas and I could sit down and actually finish them one at a time. Problem was I couldn't wait to start the next one and I didn't eat or sleep much at all for 2 weeks.

Doc decided depression wasn't my issue and prescribed Ritalin. This one didn't affect me at all (that I noticed). I was bummed out about it. I guess some people don't respond to amphetamine treatment and I was worried I was one of them.

So then I was prescribed Adderall. I started with 5mp and immediately noticed that I was productive for 4-5 hours at a time. The effect quickly diminished and I switched to 10mg, then 20mg (over 8 months). When the 20mg began lose it's effectiveness I figured I had a problem.

So now I only take 10mg of Adderall at a time. I always take 2 or 3 days off a week. Most days I only take 1 10mg dose.

If I am excited about a new project, I'll work on it until I can't stand it. Then I take Adderall to push through the boring stuff. This works well for me.

I'm glad I looked into it. Adderall has been good to me, but I can see how it could easily become an unhealthy addiction. Be careful with it. Try to get an accurate diagnosis for any issues you have with your life.
 
I'll make an appointment with a general practioner, I probably couldn't even afford an actual diagnoses.

That's fucking shit...makes me realise just how much I take our health service for granted. Glad ya got to see the doc though, hope the prescription doesn't break the bank.

Keep us posted on how it works out for ya.
 
I got the generic kind so it didn't cost too much and got 2 months supply if I take 1 a day. These are 20mg and the doctor advised to take 2 a day but, I think I should stay with 1. I took one in the evening yesterday and I did work for several hours, not sure if it was since it was my first day and I was just kinda hoping for this miracle to happen or if it was the meds. In the morning I woke up refreshed, it wasn't hard for me to get up early as usual. Hopefully after taking it for awhile maybe it'll restore any chemical imbalance I might have.

The NHS rocks matey, it's not until you move away from the UK that you see how great it was. Canada's system (Ontario OHIP) is good but not like the NHS even though it is a huge drain on the economy. Here they insist on seeing your health card before getting treated, the UK should follow suit!

Aye, I know man. Had to go to Hospital in Thailand and it was a shock getting wheeled to a payment counter!

It's not that expensive really, not when we spend billions on silly wars and bailing out banks that make stupid investments.:mad: Much rather we give free healthcare to foreigners that need it, than create a 2-tier us and them system.
 
@Mahzkrieg : wow. +rep

question: overall, would adderall be healthier than say, a few shots of vodka a day? (old school productivity trick)
 
How much exercise are you getting? Exercise will help to raise the levels of dopamine in your brain that will have the same type of subconscious reward effects in your brain that adderall will give--maybe not to the same extent, but it is a lot safer than getting on adderall from the start.

If you do get on it, make sure you cycle on and off (take a couple weeks break in between prescriptions) so that you can become more receptive to the drug again when you get another prescription. I usually will take mine for 2 weeks then take a week or 2 off. It has helped to double my productivity at least, but I can see how people can get addicted to it. Just be careful and try exercise and eating healthy first before you hit up the doc.
