One of my favorite podcasts did an episode on Adderall. Most of the info won’t be new, but there were some interesting snippets in there. I also thought it was a useful educational resource to share with your family and friends.

Since high school, in my 30’s now. Back then took it daily 20mg XR adderall. hated the “always on” feeling, irritability, trouble sleeping, but went from a C average to A’s it was the single best thing to happen to me on a productivity level. Then after high school stopped taking it, worked odd jobs for like 5 years and never needed it, then went to college and finished school. Towards the end of my college years I started on a 5mg instant release, that I only took once or twice a week for deadlines. Now in my professional life I still take it a couple times a month but only on really tight deadlines or important days.
I will stop when I retire
Stopped and quit my job this week 🤠
About a year, not really sure, it sucks when the meds start to lose potency and I don’t think the solution is to continue raising dosage. Some of the negative side effects suck but quality of life overall went up.
I took it for 12 years from the time I was 9 to 22. Been free of it for the past 14 years. I’m not going to say it was the best decision I ever made but I was definitely able to smell the flowers again which I appreciated. I took all the tools I learned from all the years on it and applied them to post medication tasks and I’ve been able to succeed in everything I have attempted. Not gonna lie there are days when it’s tempting to call my dr and get it back but so far I’ve been able to avoid making that call … or maybe I’m just forgetting to do it.. 😶🌫️
I mainly use the skills I learned while on the meds. 12 years worth of teachers, accommodation plans, and very involved and dedicated parents provided me with plenty to choose from. I did spend two years post meds in therapy for anxiety and I think that helped develop some skills mainly giving my self the space to have bad days. That was the problem with the meds there was no such thing as a bad day because the meds took that away so I had to come to terms with the fact that my brain can only handle so much before it needs a break. My therapist helped me recognize that. For me i needed to get off the meds because of all the side effects that built up over the years. I was performing in school and at work but the rest of my life was in shambles.

I’ve been taking them since 2020. They made night and day difference in my performance at work. Only take them on days I work.
I’ll stop taking them when I stop working or start working for a job that has a lot more chill.
Exact same. I would be fine not on meds if I didn’t have an utterly insane job or, better yet, didn’t have to work at all. Sigh.
