Date: July 16th, 2018 5:14 PM Author: Swashbuckling clown I go through dark periods where even responding to emails feels like a Herculean task. Then suddenly after weeks of listlessness I'll somehow snap out of it and do a ton of work to catchup. It's no way to live though.

I have had days of pure efficient joy on adderall. But the crash and insomnia and other side effects are not worth it. I am fairly certain we will some day discover it has tons of horrible long term health effects. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4027606&forum_id=2#36439598) |

you don't have moments of lighthearted glee or levity
have zero appetite than huge desire to gorge on filth
working out becomes difficult bc heart is pounding and you'd rather be doing some sort of paperwork

Date: July 16th, 2018 6:14 PM Author: appetizing startling parlour round eye Definitely can help during law school, depending on your approach. I managed to do well in LS by drilling tons of practice tests. Adderall not only helped me do that, it made it enjoyable.
But eventually you get used to performing at that level and then become dependent on the drug for all kinds of work. Before you know it, your dopamine receptors are blown the fuck out. You're depressed when you're off it and a miserable jerk when you're on it.
I'm the most successful on paper that I've ever been. I'm also the most miserable. I owe both to Adderall. |

you probably could use it only when you need to
I might just be an extreme case, but I get the sense that ADHD types also tend towards addiction. I'm trying to get some outside help to manage it (not professional, just confiding in friends / family who can help hold me accountable). Don't think I can just go cold turkey though. I still have huge loans to pay, need current jerb to pay them and need addy to do current jerb. Sucks. Not worth it. |
