Adderall and My Long Term Health?
Question by Steven G: Adderall and my long term health?
I just started today with a 20 mg extended release….i felt great….no mild mood swings that i sometimes have (not severe), i was more focused, and felt good and confident and my head was clear……..I am 20 yrs old and in good physyical health and very healthy and have never been on meds before and am just using this med to treat my slight problem w/ focus and attentiveness. If i just stick with my one tablet a day, will I become addicted? Ive never been addicted to anything before? Also, I don’t want to tkae the drug if it has negative long term side effects…but i look online and i dont get much info….it basically only says people with heart problems before taken the drug can experience worse heart conditions….but what about someone like me who is in good physical shape? I don’t want to compromise this.

“no mild mood swings that i sometimes have (not severe), i was more focused, and felt good and confident and my head was clear.”
really sounds like youre using it more recreationally than because you really need it. pretty much everyone develops tolerance to it, and yes there is risk of that leading into addiction/dependance. some people do just fine on it, others dont. it can have some very negative side effects. cardio risks are likely low assuming your heart is normal and doesnt have any defects. one of my roommates started using it to study better, and if you got to the link below it mentions psychotic events; that happened to him. it literally made him go crazy and think people were out to kill him. i think he was probably addicted as well. it makes your mind race so if youre a paranoid person like him to start with it may be best to stay away from. talk to your doc about it, taking small doses as needed rather than on a daily basis decreases tolerance and risk of dependancy.
