What part of prescribed adderall do u not understand?
Also, it should be pretty obvious they've got adhd if they're not going batshit coocoo after taking it, they're fucking amphetamines.
I took speed once with a friend and he was completely off the rails, I didn't feel anything. Is that a bad sign?
Could be, yes. People with ADHD respond to stimulants differently to how NTs do, it usually has a more calming/relaxing or focusing effect.
Scientifically, I think (based on all the huberman ep's I've listened to) it's cuz it makes up for our lack of dopamine receptors helping us perform tasks, and our minds act like a NT's, and since an NT's dopamine levels are normal it sends them into overdrive and makes them hella overstimulated.
Dats why when NT's take addy recreationally it makes them go mental, cuz it's basically a controlled version of speed. I don't do blow but I know certain man with ADHD who have and they tell me it knocks them out, like a sleeping pill.
I take the BEST naps right after my Vyvanse kicks in. Usually only for 20-30 minutes, but it’s very restful.
Then I pop up and have normal energy levels.
I stopped taking Vyvanse and went to Adderall for this reason. Always made me so sleepy and I can't afford to be nodding off at work.
