i've been on and off both since i was 13. im 19 now. that's a lot of time on drugs that, as i recently found out, never helped me one bit. i've read up on how they can kind of fuck with your mind after awhilie and makes things worse.
for example, adderall and ritalin make you less interested in sex and socially withdrawn (well me at least). if your like that 24 7 couldn't that mess with you?
or am iasking the wrong people?

yeah.. if ur taking 10 a day id say you need to go to rehab, alot of people take it as a street drug because it chills you out..

10mg. not 10 a day ...

My mother and brothers are on ritalin, and I'd say they're fairly fucked up from it. They're all quite socially withdrawn also. I don't think those kinda drugs do yu any good in later life.

ritalin is fucking shit, espesially when doctors pass it out like it's fucking candy to people who don't need it, same for adderal and most anti depressants, trust me, you'd be way better off with less drugs and more of a social life. i hate antidepressants.

I don't know much about its effects. But I've seen some crackheads that you can just pick out of the crowd. Their brains are toxified. They pick fights out of nowhere and they are dumb at every subject. And they also can't sit still in a classroom, no will power anymore...

Yeah they can mess you up after a while. Talk to your doc. They should know how to take care of it.

what i would choose sex! but anywho if it really is for "ADHD" (please no arguments on if it is real) can you still be addicted? me and my best friend take it , but i take 10 and he's on 20.

Yes, Amphetamines are like that. Nothing beats the bliss of it when you take it habitually or as said by a doctor. It's the same as a heroin addiction. In that- if you could choose heroin or sex, which would you choose?
