Wow! I totally understand! I wish I could help, but you just described me and I'm 50. Everything you said, I have experienced. I'm impulsive, reckless and careless at times, not always. I go through phases. I'm much more sociable when I'm in an impulsive phase. I think it has worked to my advantaged in ways. I must say that my life got better as I got older, so hang in there. I'm always in a rotation of stopping and starting my adderrall or other add drugs. I'm actually thinking of starting again after being off them for a year without the results that I hoped for. I don't think you're living a lie, although you may feel that way. I felt that you personality really shined in your writing. You seem very honest, strong and intelligent- a real thinker! That makes life harder right there. Hang in there, because it's not perfect, but it gets better.

Adderall causes very bad anger issues once you stop taking it all those feelings will go away

I read a while back that stimulants such as amphetamines cause damage to capillaries. Which means blood is not flowing as it should to your extremities. Your comment about the need for toes is a sad one. Eventually, if the cause is damage to capillaries your toes will eventually turn gangrenous and have to be amputated. I'd check with a doctor ASAP. If your doctor says nothing is wrong, week another opinion.

I think everything you said about God and the bible is true. I have learned that it is a good thing to pray and call on the Lord Jesus name before you read the bible. Also to check your heart before Him, before you read the bible. For instance, if your angry with someone because they wronged you, you don't want to pick up the bible and be superstitious. To realize that it is a book of life and not knowledge, the whole point is to breathe in the Lord Jesus and to touch His person and to get THIS PERSON into yours, through His Spirit. I keep getting refereed back to when Jesus said, "You search the scriptures, but don't come TO ME." It is very important that we come and contact Jesus, with the intention to touch this living person in the word and to be careful in handling it, with a clear conscious and a pure intent and motive. To realize that we are coming to Gods word to touch life and a person. I enjoyed your post and what someone else mentioned about forgiving to be forgive.

Hey I've been on stimulates most adderall since 1993. I started on ritalin, then dexedrine and others eventually leading to adderall which i've been on since year 2000. I too cant find any long term results? why havent they done clinical trials? I do all that I can to keep my heart healthy from exercising vitamins ( calcium for heart contraction and magnesium for heart detraction my opinion of most imp. supplements) I also check my blood pressure and heart rate regularly exspecially now Im about to be 30 in a couple months. However I too just got prescribed pristiq and my blood pressure was 155 over 95 :( make sense I feel like the pristiq has amplified my adderall. I've taken any where between 40mg and 60mgs since 2002 mostly and now 60mg. I've never needed increases. my body doesnt develope a tolerance. I wont going higher then 60mgs ever i'm actually thinking of decreasing. Any who Im wondering if you know any antidepressants that I could take while on the adderall(of course lol) that wont raise my blood pressure? Its nice to know that there is someone else out there that has been on amphetamines (legally) as long as I have........thats rare

First and foremost - breath. Find a quiet place, calm down and breath. Anxiety can manifest into depression, health issues, erratic behavior and self destruction probably because we don't understand why all of the sudden we feel fine and the next we feel like we are going to crawl out of our skin. We begin to think that we are alone, that we are damaged goods and will never feel normal. There are millions of us who suffer from some or all of these things. The key for me was therapy. Finding the RIGHT therapist, learning to trust, open up and becoming cognizant (aware) of what my internal struggles were, identifying what was causing me pain and turmoil and dealing with it. Its a broad commentary on a very complex issue but do suffer from ADD and couldn't write a book on it if I had to - lol. My childhood was atrocious, my family is fractured and I will carry these scars for the rest of my life but for goodness sake, there is help out there. NOONE should take Adderall without therapy. Understanding your condition and recognizing the changes that will come is paramount. Yes, it's a miracle drug for those of us whom have spent years chasing our tails but as a result of chasing out tails we have found alternative ways of coping with our day, with our jobs, with our troubles and when Adderall is introduced into your body you are suddenly thrust back into a somewhat normal way of thinking. The problem is, we don't always know or understand how to cope with these changes and it can make matters worse. For those who suffer or have suffered from this, sometimes debilitating condition, you understand what I am talking about. There are answers out there and there is help out there. This is not a new problem and there are very capable people who can help you through this. Good Luck and stay strong. We are survivors!!!

Why would you suggest that " we " are " at least " 50% responsible for " the problem " ?.....how curious. Do we forgive 50% if we are responsible for only 50%? How bout 60/40? Where are these percentages coming from?

Wow... Thank you very much for this.
I hope you have found answers since then.
I was prescribed about 1 month ago, but never started taking it, by fear of not knowing about side-effects / long-term effects. I will do my best to monitor the usage while trying other more holistic methods.
Take care of yourself.
