Question by Shadow: Amphetamine for adult ADHD?
I have a few questions about this. And yes i read all the webMD crap and side effects etc…

Age:34
Diag.: Adult ADHD
Perscribed: Aderall
Taking: Generic Adderall (Amphetamine) 20MG BID (twice daily)

Q: Why do adults need a stimulant to when they are already hyper with ADHD? Won’t that make them nuts?

Q: Isn’t this just legalized meth?

Q: My breathing seems to be ALOT better. Why?
Alexis I just trried ritalin and it had no effect on me good or bad… wierd huh? :S
“Is it helping you?”
IDK i just started taking it last night.

“FYI, meth was a legally prescribed drug until the 80s.” And that information helps me how?

“Your medicine counterintuitively helps both juvenile and adult ADHD.” ADHD is a hyper active disorder… Speed makes you hyper… how is that counteractive?

“Be grateful or stop taking it; your choice. ” Grateful for what? It hasn’t started working yet. I just started it last night.

“You can research it yourself; you’re already sitting at your computer.” I did research it. and asking questions about it to others is also research. DUH!

“Good luck and God bless.” U2
