Hi. I am a guy 41 year old and I had been diagnosed with ADD. I was prescribed Adderall and it worked, and still works like a charm. But at times, I think I am addicted. I get woozy, and it lasts an hour afterwards. I am thinking of getting of Adderall in a few weeks. Tell me am I mistaken, or Adderall is addictive?

You are absolutely right. It even turns up positive at a drug test. Adderall contains amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which are stimulants, so it is a drug! That is why it would be smart to use it a short time, just to make your depression problem better. It is addictive too, so you should watch yourself, not to get hooked.
