I'm sort of afraid to ask my psychiatrist. I've told her I'm having trouble concentrating. (It isn't true. I just need an upper to help with studies. I used to do a bunch of cocaine before for this exact same purpose).

She said STRATTERA could work.

Anybody ever had that before?

No, but fuck it. Take it anyway.

Whereas adderall is an amphetamine salt. Try what she suggests first off, see if it works.

Yay kittens!

Classified as a norepinephrine (noradrenaline) reuptake inhibitor, atomoxetine is approved for use in children, adolescents, and adults. However, its efficacy has not been studied in children under six years old. Its advantage over stimulants for the treatment of ADHD is that it has less abuse potential than stimulants,[2][3] is not scheduled as a controlled substance and has proven in clinical trials to offer 24 hour coverage of symptoms associated with ADHD in adults and children.[4]

I hope it works. I have such a high tolerance for any kind of drug, that I sort of think it won't really do anything.

I know I'll probably catch hell for this, but I honestly don't think people who don't need adderall should be taking it to aid in studying. If you can't make the grades without adderall, what's going to happen when you graduate, and you're actually in your field of work/research? If you use adderall as a crutch, you won't be sharpening your ACTUAL mental skills as well as if you had just learned the material in your natural state of mind. I've taken adderall once, and it was no better for studying, to me, than a cup of coffee.

It does help when you have 4 hours to sleep at night and tons of stuff to do that require you to have high energy.

Coffee barely does anything to me. I can drink a cup and go to sleep just fine. I's be using it as a substitute for something illegal (coke). So, yeah, adderall seems like a better idea.

It has no abuse potential. If you take it incorrectly you will just make yourself sick. It will not get you high.

As it is not a stimulant it won't keep you awake when you would otherwise be tired and it will not substitute sleep.

If you do have a case of ADHD, it may help you concentrate, but it's a lot more subtle than stimulant drugs and the therepeutic effect doesn't kick in for like a month after you start taking it. Oh and when you first start taking it or when the dose is increased you feel like ABSOLUTE SHIT! Awful side-effects before you're used to it.
