Ok so i took Adderall this morning. I only took one and was 15mg. I feel like it barely had any effect at all. I felt vaguely more concentrated - but not much so it could be unrelated or just a placebo effect. I know i didn't take much but since i have never taken it before, it should have some effect. I took another at about 4 30 and still nothing...
It's supposed to suppress your appetite. I had a bagel for breakfast before i took it (which was at about 8 30) and was hungry by about 10 30. It kinda felt like i had the munchies.
So yeah, weird. Why didn't it have an effect on me?

Do you actually have ADD? Or are you just taking it for a boost?

Adderall doesn't affect me in lower dosages either. I have to take like 30 to 45mgs before it does anything.

Just taking it for fun. My friend who drives me to school has ADD and she gave it to me (Adderall not ADD, haha)

adderal works for kids with add because they have a polar chemical imbalance (forget which chemical it is), it should have the opposite effect on anyone without add. so no it should not have made yopu concentrate at all, it should have made it hard for you to concentrate. all you experienced was a placebo effect.

That's not true. It's supposed to make you concentrate even if you don't have ADD. Why do you think teenagers abuse it so much when they take exams? People take it before the ACT and SATs all the time. And i have been around my friends when they have snorted a lot of it. They talked A LOT. And they were very concentrated on what they did. If it was supposed to have the opposite effect they would not have been so concentrated because snorting it means you get more out of it, and they snorted a lot. So if it was supposed to have the opposite effect taking that much they would not get a placebo effect that made them concentrate i.e. taking a lot would cause the real affect to cancel out any placebo effect.

You know it really makes me sick when people take meds "just for fun". Don't you people understand that there are people out there who are dependent on what you are taking "just for fun"? You probably don't get it, but it's kind of disrespectful.

It's not like there is a shortage of medication. It's not a natural resource - people make adderall. People who are dependent on it can still take it - why does that mean that other people can't have fun? And a lot of people who have ADD sell their Adderall.

For people like you who abuse Adderall, ADD is not a reality so of course you wouldn't care. I told you that you probably wouldn't get it and I don't expect you to. This is my perspective. I take medication for ADD to be normal. People like you take what you have for granted. I have had ADD all of my life and I was diagnosed way too late(due to my parents' obliviousness). I look back on all those years feeling out of it and not doing that great in school. I always used to put myself down for it. Now here you go taking ADD meds just for fun or just for a little boost. Quite frankly, it's insulting. I am so thankful for the ability to concentrate because I didn't have it for 14 years. I just wish that people like you who don't have ADD would realize that it is greedy to want one than you were already born with. Think of it like an athlete taking steroids instead of working hard like everyone else.

Ok, i understand what you mean. But a lot of people take other drugs for fun. I don't abuse it on a day to day basis. I don't use it to be better than everyone else. It's not the same as taking steroids if you take it for fun rather than to get an advantage in school or something like that. I had never taken it before today and i wanted to see what it was like (and my friend who has ADD gave it to me). I didn't take it to get an unfair advantage.
