So after many years of denial I finally went to the doctor to discuss my pathetic attention span and inability to focus on tasks. I was prescribed adderall 20mg taken once a day in the morning. Its been a week and Ive had about 12 hours of sleep total, I feel like Ive been doing lines of coke the past few days. I want to keep taking it because I can focus 1000x better, anyone else have this problem?

Congrats you're doing legal speed. You won't be getting any sleep on those.

IMO, doing the lines of coke would be more productive, enjoyable, and sensible... you are eating amphetimines..... if you would like the full "effect"... you could smoke or shoot the pills and have the same effects as the demonized "meth".... (or you can try to get switched to desoxyn... it IS methamphetimine, just a legal form) see link to learn more....

LOL I'm not looking to abuse anything other than weed.
yes but you have been given excellent advice already. Your doctor gave you what you asked for, don't blame them, but you need to stop taking this shit. Very soon you will be on anti-psychotics because you will start hearing voices. It is normal. It is called being sleep deprived.

Smoke to sleep.

Could it be that your lack of attention span is from chronic and excessive MJ use? Cuz I suffer from that also!

edit: there will probably be withdrawal effects...don't worry!

they dont have to give u amphetamines, or stimulents there are other pills that work well for add/adhd ask for something else. speed is habit forming doggie

I'm right there with you bro. Been taking some adderall for studying (I'm in college) these passed couple days and I have slept about 6 hours in 3 days. Smoking helps you relax though, even if you don't fall asleep. I suggest smoking your ass off when you feel like you wanna just relax and zone out.

Ha yeah its true. They drink that shit with black coffee and redbull. I call it the College Cocktail.

I'm double majoring in Advertising and Studio Art (Graphic Design) though. I take adderall for the econ and math classes, and smoke dope for the art classes! It's workin out for me.

A 20mg pill really isn't too bad; I have tried 50s and that shit is like speed. Try not taking them everyday if you dont like them... I would have hoped that might be common sense. Maybe only on days when its critical that you can focus well

good point, it does the opposite to those who do!

:leaf::peace::leaf:
no it doesnt, lol, ive got adhd and it makes me focus and not able to fall asleep., i was scripted for em for a huge amount everyday and i got really addicted to em and fucked my life up real bad though so original poster be careful if u decide to keep taking em(people around here sell 30mg pills for &6-8 a piece so if u wanted thats always an option), i use em recreationally when i got alot of paperwork to do still maybe once every 3-4 month still though. its weird but i dont get re-addicted to em. lol. you could also talk to your doctor of maybe lowering the dose so you can still get the focus but not have the problems with sleeping and eating:peace:
