What Are the Worst Effects of Adderall?

yea, that happened to me with dexedrine once. i was literally running around town in a foreign country thinking people were following me. sat huddled underneath a window all night in a hotel thinking someone who was after me was going to jump through it. thought the person in the room next door was "one of them" and was listening through the walls to hear what they were saying. really fucked up.

Sounds more like a bad acid trip to me.

you'd have to take a shitload to have a heart attack. and/or be really fat and out of shape.

amphetamines can make you temporarily psychotic (hearing voices, etc) if you take too much and stay up for days, but i doubt that's easy to do with adderall.

Heart attack risk exists for people with weak hearts or pre-existing heart conditions too, it's not just out of shape etc. Can be in great shape but have arrhythmia or weak ventricle walls etc
 
.hack told me it makes your voice higher and makes it difficult to maintain an erection

Adderall is essentially a weaker version of crystal meth (or vice versa). I have used adderall extensively in college and in affiliate marketing to accomplish various objectives and it has never failed me. Using a prescription of course. Take it from me as I jot down some notes and thoughts on the subject:

-You feel really rewarded for accomplishing tasks and goals. You may have an extreme urge to clean your apartment, finish a school assignment, or finish building a landing page, etc. Mundane and boring tasks instantly become interesting and exciting. It really builds momentum in you, and you never get tired of doing whatever you're doing. This lasts for hours on end and you can do some serious damage towards projects and goals.

-Taking adderall in social situations changes your personality. You're able to drink an insane amount of alcohol without getting drunk, it instantly wakes you up and makes you outgoing and social. You can have sex on adderall for hours on end without coming (whether this is good or bad is up to you). Unfortunately it also gives you "meth mouth," where you will talk non stop about inane/stupid subjects and prevent you from understanding social cues. Especially while drinking, people on adderall are extremely annoying and hyper; they don't know when to shut up.

-Though it does make you lose your appetite, you can still eat on adderall. When I was using it, I would get "high" from cooking elaborate and complicated meals and then eating them.

-Adderall intoxication has 4 stages: the come up, the high, the shoulder, and the tweak. During the come up (approx ~1 hr), you become a productivity monster and sort of feel like you were on ecstasy or cocaine. For the next few hours (3-4), during the high, you no longer feel like you're on harder drugs but still have a huge burst of focus. It's during this time you'll probably think its a good idea to clean your room or change the oil on your car, or some other random chore you've been putting off doing. During the shoulder you're no longer high but still under the effect of the drug, it's kind of building up to the comedown. The comedown is the worst part of the experience, where you literally feel "burned out." You might start having suicidal thoughts, severe depression, as well as agitation. You'll attempt to masturbate, take a shower, eat, sleep, to shake this off, but it will all be futile. An easy fix is to take a sleeping pill and sleep it off, because you'll probably won't be able to sleep naturally for a long time.

-You easily become dependent on it, as I and many others have. It's staggering how much work you can accomplish on even the smallest doses of adderall that in your mind it becomes pointless to go without it. This is the deadliest part of the experience and why I no longer take it, even though my profits suffer. The Pavlovian response is so strong that few people can beat it. I like to think of it like alcohol: probably many of you never go out anymore without drinking, because you enjoy the feeling of being drunk and it makes you more social and outgoing. Similar to alcohol, but for doing work, you'll probably want to be on adderall every time you want to do work or at least larger projects.

On the whole, it really is a wonder drug. Its uses are staggering, and if you do a little research you can discover the fact that it's been swept under the rug, but amphetamines and methamphetamines have been used extensively in America and other countries by all ranges of people. In the military, workforce, and even by housewives or people trying to lose weight, amphetamines have and still are used in large numbers.

Heart problems are not really an issue, though I'm sure it can be a concern for those with heart problems. It substantially raises your heart rate, body temperature, and makes you sweat. Adderall sweat smells a lot worse than regular sweat as well.

Is it worth it? In my opinion, no. The comedown is too hard and it's freakishly easy to get dependent on it. While you won't have cravings for it per se, since it's not physically addicting in my view, you'll come to the sad realization that life is just better on adderall, period.

Everything is 100% correct here. I would have wrote this all myself, but I no longer take adderall. lol
 
I had a three year love affair with amphetamines when I was at college.

I had a LOT of fun, but it ended when I had a "moment of clarity" shortly before accusing a complete stranger of stealing my cellphone (which I'd left at home).

In summary: They are very, very habit forming. Because you can work so well on them, you think "screw it, why stop?". They're the only drug I came remotely close to getting properly hooked on, and I've tried pretty much everything during my misspent youth.

You also end up needing downers to sleep.

If you're in a bind, and NEED to get shit done this week, they're probably ok, IF you have the self discipline to stop afterwards.

But for a long term solution? No way.

Totally unnecessary detail: People talk about it causing problems getting it up, but I found the opposite. It was worse than viagra. Luckily I had an accommodating female friend with benefits back in the day. Ah, happy times.
 
I'm already experiencing long term side effects..

The worst one however is the dependency. Even before the awesome Hollywood version of the stuff came out, one of my biggest fears of the drug is that I will ultimately wind up living in an area where its either widely unavailable or outlawed. Its not a fun thing to think about, ask any fellow Adderall loyalist and they will tell ya the same.

There are some pretty significant health related long term effects that are not good too, but it really is different for everyone. Sure you have the typical general population that experience the lack of appetite and sleep, but both can be managed and controlled after you get used to taking it everyday and get your dosage right. It really should never be abused. I actually take less than I'm prescribed now. If there were zero negative side effects I'd probably stay high on it and abuse the shit out of it, but I don't ever want to really give in to that kinda shit, so I take it everyday but in moderation.

Another really negative side effect, after long term use everyday for years, is how it fucks around with your stomach and mind. Although I haven't experienced it to a level that a few of my friends have, and sure as hell hope I never do, I gotta say, its probably more frightening that I'm self aware and okay with it, than unaware and careless. Because being careless about it on purpose makes things truly fucked up.

Just like dogdaze says though... life really is better and more fun and exciting on Adderall. The productivity levels you reach are unreal. See the movie Limitless, its glorified lots, but its also how we roll y0.
 
For sleep management aka BEING ABLE TO FALL ASLEEP.. I use an herbal solution, as I'd never take any pharma sleeping pill, those are just the devil (so are Adderall XR's, stay the fuck away from those!)

Its called L5htp/Melatonin. Take 3-4 of them 30-45 mins before bed time, and you'll not only fall asleep naturally, but wake up in good spirits and refreshed. Its fucking awesome. I even use it if I'm in exhaustion mode.
 
You bastards are going to make me set up a doctors appointment. I've been in an unproductive rut for weeks now. Fucking hate it.

I'd agree with Jon and .Hack's assessment.

When you're taking them there really are no "bad" side effects. The fucking forever, being a more fun/likable person, and being insanely more productive are all true.

You just feel fucking great. I was on them for about a year. And I had a blast. I actually drank less than normal, I didn't abuse them, got shit done, I really enjoyed work and overall had nothing bad to say about them.

But I hit the point where it was kind of like "I don't want to feel like I NEED these to function like a normal human"...

So it's been a long time now, like several months, and I miss them like crazy.

In my personal experience, I don't think they're very physically addictive. I didn't have crazy withdraws or any major side effects coming off of them besides feeling less productive.

I would say they're pretty psychologically addictive though. If someone offered me one right now, seeing as how I have a shitload of work to do, I'd have a really hard time saying "no".

But yeah, short term I'd say the main worry is dependency.

If you have actual ADD (pretty certain I do) they're a godsend. I wouldn't rule out me getting another script in the future.

LOL!
 
This thread makes me want to try this shit.
Now i am using Piracetam/Aniracetam+choline to put my self in productive mode, but it's not compared to adderall.
 
Do any of you have experience with both Adderall and Dexedrine? If so, could you touch on the differences between the two (not chemically speaking, but in terms of effect).

I have taken quite a bit of Dex.
 
Can you buy this online somewhere? I dont have health insurance and ont feel like paying for a doctors visit.
