I took a version of adderall for a few weeks called vyvanse for ADHD and This one didn't help at all and gave me psychotic episodes. Then I switched to concerta which helped a lot. But then I quit it completely and started using medical cannabis. It's legal here in Oklahoma now.
I was looking for more of a scientific explanation. Like maybe that crystal meth is a triple methylated amphetamine and it’s able to pass through the blood brain barrier. Or that it doesn’t need to be metabolized in order for it to work. Once meth is delivered, you receive all of it at once and get extremely fucking high, like it’s unbelievable just how high you get from it. But with adderall, the four different amphetamine salts (two amphetamine, two dextro-amphetamine) need to be processed in the body somehow in order for the drug to be absorbed and delivered to the brain. The chemical structures are similar, yet different. You cannot get all of the same effects from adderall as you do with meth... Maybe with super teeny tiny doses of it? I dunno, but that’s what I’m looking for. Anybody have any suggested videos or articles on this?
🍀🙁🌟🙁🌟☄️🌟🙁🌟🍀 I think you need to revisit on what these medications due. And for what they are use for.. Correctly fixing some of the errors.. I.found the story was hard to follow ..(at times) cause I saw and plus was "right to think you be we're putting in some of your own "personal insights Of you own personal issues with this... Medications plus Hope to see a revised update On this subject again. So we all can learn to better understand what is needed to help others who have this.add You know about these medications.legal or not. Then the rest of us..!?!? But...ahhh not necessarily does Meth .cause your teeth to fall out ..it's lacking dental care .please .look it up Thank you Peace
The woman in the video talks a lot of repetition, but basically isn't telling us anything. She sounds like an idiot. She presented no real comparison. F-
“Thinking of 500 things and doing 500 things” ADHD/ ADD is actually more like “thinking of 500 things, forgetting them after 2 minutes, and doing only one or none at all”
The smarter people will still think of 500 things to do, but may only accomplish 1. The dumb people may try to think of what the smart person's 500 things to do, get nowhere, but gain frustration, denial, and create a la la land world to escape.
so as respectful as possible.. Came here for information, instead I get (quote) "What is in Crystal Meth? Shoot, I don't even know man, I don't even want to know." Well then maybe you shouldn't be making a comprehensive analysis video comparing the two substances. not trying to bash, just being honest.
Not everyone loses all their morals when addicted to crystal meth/ice, I must admit I was brought up with strong morals/values, I smoked ice everyday for at least 5yrs & smoked around 2-3 times per week for around 5yrs before using everyday. I never stole or abused anyone, I worked, payed my bills, was a great mum, payed for my kids private school fees for 18yrs etc. The only thing I did was kept my drug use a secret from my family & friends. I stopped using 2yrs ago when I could no longer afford it, I do still miss it as I no longer have the energy & motivation it gave me. I am proof not all addicts are bad, some addicts can remain good functional people. I started using occasionally as a recreational party drug, then as I got older with more responsibility & worked around 50hrs per week plus had two children to care for life gets hetic, I didn't have enough energy to do everything I needed to do so then started using abit for energy, this continued for a few years but drugs never came first for me my family always came first. Then tragedy struck my family when my husband died from cancer, to cope I started using more & more til I stopped working and no longer have much money. Please don't assume all addicts are the same because they're not.
Im the same way and it makes so many of the ones who let it control themselves and chase the high. I've never in my life chased a high I know that you are only going to get to a point a few times and you won't get there again. Set a budget and stick to it when out your out you didn't plan properly or you had fun with it and that costs some at some point but you don't get to re-up before the normal time. And no this lady is an example of the worst ones I've never sold any of my 1000s of dollars of tool I've held a job infact went from working 12-14 hours a day to 16-18 hours a day and fixed my credit bought a house and all after spitting up with my ex after 12 years together and building several businesses and all and had to start over on alot of it because I was not the money in the situation I was the brains and labor of it. Unfortunately that is not looked at at the same level as who is the name on the loan or paperwork and being I had a ton of medical bills and student loans putting anything with my name was not a good option especially when we started I was 26-27 so still young and had 3.5million in medical bills and 100000 in student loans witch obviously anyone can guess that with the medical bills I wasn't likely current on my student loans and likely had a few judgements against me unfortunately my loans werrr the predatory type and even if I was making six figures+ I would have struggled to pay them as the payments combined on them was 2500 a month (5 loans and I was never in a position to refinance and get the lower payments and combine for lower interest so basically 5 20000$ loans and a payment for each due every month) plus a the late fees and added interest it was a blessing when they finally sued me and got a judgement as it drastically lowered the interest rate and stopped most of the fees that I was being charged. So when we split i dumped all the energy and time I was used to putting in working for my self and running several rentals a small auto diesel and equipment repair shop snow plowing in the winter handyman and plumbing electrical HVAC repairs for a handful of friends that had rentals and needed a good person who they could trust and give them a fair deal and depending on how busy I was I always had a few days a month spent helping out the farmer I started working for when I was 16 and was basically family to me. Don't let people like this one be the picture of the typical type of people that you think of . Infact these are the minority of people who are using. There's not as many people who are good and open about it and it does make it hard to be open about it cause people instantly throw u into a mold that is not anything like reality
The woman in the video talks a lot of repetition, but basically isn't telling us anything. She sounds like an idiot. She presented no real comparison. F-
Gotta disagree that meth makes you loose your morals and make you look like a zombie. It can, but I know people who've used it for years and you wouldn't know it by looking at them. They may get super paranoid at times but they still have strong morals. Not trying to defend it's use, I know the horrible effects it can have on one's life, just wanted to shed light on the stereotype.
really most of the bad effects come from to high a dose, too frequently, and with a neglect to self care. I mean its literally a perscribed drug, the people useing it under DRs direction do not have any of the ill effects attributed to the drug
Sorry I disagree there's people who I looked up to in terms of morals a few years later nothing matters. Keyword "addiction" not just oh I do it sometimes.
I have ADD and Adderall literally helped me learn algebra lol. I do think ADD is over diagnosed though and is often falsely disgnosed. Kids don't pay attention in school for a variety of reasons so immediately assuming its a mental disorder is a mistake alot of people seem to make. I'm not an expert though thats just my theory.
I agree that children with ADD and ADHD shouldn’t be prescribed these meds until later in their teenage years when it becomes more clear that it is a true diagnosis. You can really mess people up .
I’ve been clean over 10 years now. It was always discussed back in the day that good crystal had a very calming effect. It also made me emotionally detached from everything. My dog died in front of me and it didn’t phase me when I was high. I loved that dog like a child. It hit me like a brick when I started coming down though. That was a revelation to me on how that stuff was affecting me at the time...truly one of the most evil substances on earth.
Calmness does not equal attentiveness. I think you misunderstand how ADHD works. Not everyone becomes hyperactive and even if they do, the objective is not to calm them down, its to make them focus. They are not 'hyper' because of excess energy; they are hyper because they are distracted by far more stimulating things going on in their enviroment or their mind. I am not so sure Aderall is such a good treatment due to its potency and potential for abuse, but a good ADHD med is not ment to calm to reinforce focus, its ment to stimulate to reinforce focus.
Hi Turboed Dude, The case with my son on Strattera was one that didn't work for him, it had the effect of increasing his emotional outbreaks and made him more hyper. I am not a doctor nor do I claim to be, however its just my personal experience. I appreciate your feedback. Best, Cindy
Cindy Wofford the reason it made him more hyper was because he was happier as there are anti depressant qualities to strattera. In fact Strattera is actually a sedative drug like anti depressants are. (I’m currently on it FYI used to be on Vyvanse but they put me on Strattera when I went to rehab 2 months ago)
I wouldn’t call it a sedative considering it’s a NRI, norepinephrine being a precursor to adrenaline. But it’s definitely not a stimulant. If it were then an NDRI such as bupropion would be scheduled with Cocaine when in reality it’s not even close.
Adderall helps me tremendously though the side effects can be nasty as i found out, have to alter your diet to replace nutrients and dopamine depletion symptoms, but the ability to finally focus changed my life, there is no doubt that many aren't using it for medicinal purposes however
I take adderall and it makes me able not to change my music every dang second or click off and watch something I literally am so bored due to lack of dopamine. So when I take the Adderall my brain does not get the urges to do that stuff since I'm satisfied and relaxed. It never gives me energy and I could easily sleep on it. But one thing I love as well is I have depression and Adhd so when I take the Adderall it helps me focus plus boosts my mood a lot higher. And it feels really good. I have severe adhd though
People who don’t understand drugs talking about drugs it hilarious, the problem where people graduate from an oxy addiction to heroin developed a tolerance which happens just from using opioids like prescription pain killers often barely are considered abusing drugs but they still develop this tolerance that when fed usually leads to heroin as the next drug, Adderall is very different because it’s taken at doses that don’t even get you high and to go from Adderall to meth you have to be downing like 10 15mg pills a day until you don’t feel anything from them and try meth and get addicted, people don’t go from Adderall to meth, most people don’t use Adderall in a dangerous way, Adderall is safe and imporves the lives of millions
I was a 500lb diabetic did a weight loss program with phentermine and I noticed it helped me focus and get tasks accomplished and gave me energy but I got super high tolerance for phentermine so I quit going...I went to a psychiatrist and got on Adderall .... I moved away from my dr and went off the meds I found meth and it works way better faster and cheaper if you have a reliable clean source of meth and you dose it out conservatively it'll do the same thing as Adderall... In 1.5 years iv dropped 200 lbs and no longer required insulin
depending on your weight and ROA, you can get high af on 10mg of adderall. i've seen it countless times. because amphetamines have been regularly used by well off eurocentrics since ww2 tho, they will never be criminalized so there will never be a huge ocean of people that get stripped of their drug of choice who then have to move to the closest street drug to maintain being alive. look up the dosages soldiers used to take. they are the same as what children are given today. pretty sure thats all you need to hear about what the drug is actually for...
I used to get accused of overdosing on amphetamines by my friends because I'd get calm & quiet when we took "speed" while they would get animated & high, even though I took the same amount as they did.
I’m an 18 year old meth addict, I was given ritilan by the time I was 3 and ended up following through with crystal meth when my scrip went away. Such a wolf in sheep’s clothing for me.
@@techisgod it's literally how his mind and body developed. Under the influence. He doesn't experience hunger or sleep the same way your average 18 year old. I cannot even begin to imagine how unhealthy this young man is. It's truly unacceptable and sickening that amphetamines are prescribed to such young kids. If the theory is that a stimulant is going to have a reverse effect on an extremely hyper child, then perhaps black tea should be had at all 3 meals. Under no circumstances is it acceptable to force children to be drugged into docility.
My nephew was prescribed adderall as a child…. Parents divorced, mom’s way of getting the child under control was have a doctor prescribe something. she was an alcoholic, now dead, drank herself to death. Now, he is addicted to meth for three years. These prescription drugs are not safe and lead to worse. Sometimes the cure is worse that the affliction.
She doesn’t know what ADHD is. Stimulants are also prescribed for other illnesses. I have a feeling she took her sons medication. That’s why it didn’t work.
I have ADHD more of an ADD because my hyperactivity is in my brain, if I’m off meds I’m thinking a hundred miles per minute and I can’t stay focused on one activity, and I don’t want to do chores because it’s too much and it’s constant and it’s boring, I know that sounds so dumb but I literally can’t bring myself to get up and go do it. When I’m on adderall I’m able to get everything I have to do done and then some, because I’m focused on the task and I’m not thinking too much about it. I recently went through a rough time because the amount I was on was not helping me at all, I would lay in bed and sleep for the majority of the day, I was depressed and felt like crap, but as soon as my dr changed my meds I was up and getting things done. Everyone is different but in my case I don’t feel high on adderall, I just feel energized and I feel like my mind just shuts down and I get done what I have to get done without procrastinating and feeling sluggish. Also I don’t get irritable by the smallest thing.
ADHD patient here! My Adderall literally puts me to sleep. I take it as prescribed once in the morning. By 1pm I am actually struggling to stay awake. It doesn't give me energy AT ALL. But it has allowed me to focus and complete projects that I have never been able to. I used to be all over the place and forgetful about everything!! I couldn't even read a book because I would start fidgeting and get distracted about other things. I could actually be reading the words of the paragraph while thinking about what I'm going to do for dinner. Then I would have to go back and read the paragraph again to grasp the concept of what it said. Sometimes I had to do this 3 or 4 times. I suffered my entire childhood with ADHD and my father didn't believe in giving the medicine to me instead he ""fixed me with a belt and a one hitter of weed"". So I grew up believing that ADHD was bad and never got the help I needed and ended up never finishing college, never being able to stay at a job for long because I would lose interest, and just really screwed a lot of my life away because I lived untreated for so long. My Adderall has literally helped me for once see life with clarity and now I want to complete all of my goals before I'm too old. It's bittersweet. Because this could have worked out so much differently for me if I would have been given treatment as a child instead of abuse. I want people to please stop giving stimulants like Adderall a bad rep..... If you don't have ADHD you don't understand just how lucky you are. So please if you're chasing a high, think about that first. I hope that helps someone to understand how amazing this medication can be for those of us who actually benefit from it.
Dude I have the same problem. It can’t be Adderall. It’s a waste of time to take it. I actually just woke up from a nap. I’ve been told it’s in your head. BS we are being scammed.
you arent getting enough nutrition and are literally starving your body. you shouldnt be getting tired less than 10 hours into your day unless you arent getting enough nutrition and sleep
A very uneducated and bias take.......I expect as much coming from said speaker misleads people on something that either lands them in rehab if they are lucky, or a lifelong cycle of use until it either kills you or lands you in jail/ prison which there is a market for to gain off taking advantage of keeping the addicts suffering in a repetitive cycle
When you start using just to get through the come down, that's when you start getting addicted for reel. Suffer through the hang over and never use it when your feeling low or tired to pick you up
I didn’t experience any of that on crystal math. I’ve done it a few times and it got me really high and that was it. It was like doing cocaine times 100.
Yeah that why it's very addictive, i mean cocaine "x100" seems like pretty fun 🤣, and much people keeps using it from time to time until they get to dark side, that's why is very dangerous, while adderall or speed(street amphetamine) is not that addictive as you will run up your tolerance to the point it doesn't even work anymore so you basically quit it for some time or for good(not everyone ofc but way more commonly then meth), speed(amphetamine) doesn't have that crazy euphoric initial high like meth which is the reason why meth is so much more addictive then speed, i use speed from time to time, pretty cool and subtle drug if you have limits
Hi could u Pls describe what a meth high is supposed to feel like? I feel like the only thing it does for me is calm me down (n stops me from being impulsive/having massive mood swings) n maybe helps me carry out some of my tasks (but i have to smoke alot for that). It still doesnt help give me energy tho 🥲🥲coke is even worse it just does nothing at all
The Adderall for me mentally calms me, but physically I sometimes bite my fingernails or I feel nervous. I don’t like it and I am gonna ask to lower my dose.
Hi Everyone, I just wanted to state that any Positive or Negative comments are welcome, as we constantly strive to improve our videos. Hope everyone has a great day :) , Best, Cindy
i easily fall asleep on high amounts of caffeine and remember falling asleep pretty often during the 2 months i was on an adderall prescription. it didnt really help me at all but my problems were always absence of basic human necessities and a safe/stable environment to grow from. i can wrangle my concentration fine when im not having to worry about getting killed or dying from starvation lol.
I agree with most of what you said. I take Adderall, but I take it for legitimate Inattentive ADHD (ADD). It has never felt like a stimulant or given me a high. I have no desire to take more medication than what was prescribed, and I've never experienced withdrawals of any kind when I've stopped taking it cold turkey. With that said, it's a shame that there are still a number of individuals who are being misdiagnosed with ADD/ADHD. When it's for legitimate ADD/ADHD, it's life changing for the better, but, when it's not, addiction and a built up tolerance level can become the result. It can also become a gateway drug, which is tragic. FYI: Yes, Strattera is a medication used to treat ADD/ADHD, but it is not a stimulant.
Hmm, I’m torn, the video as a whole is done with good intentions, however, I became unsure of the information I was receiving as soon as strattera was thrown in as a stimulant, which it is not, I being someone diagnosed with ADHD, have been prescribed both Strattera and Adderall, and strattera although it does work for some, did not for me. The reason I went with this first was because it was not a stimulant, regardless, the point I am trying to make with this comment is to please make sure what is being said is correct.
Thank you for your content and I appreciate your expertise and the information you've shared about Adderall being strictly prescribed for ADHD and ADD. However, it's essential to highlight that while Adderall is primarily approved for these conditions, it is sometimes prescribed off-label for other medical conditions following a rigorous risk-benefit analysis by a healthcare provider. For example, I am prescribed Adderall for Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) under the close supervision of my psychiatrist. Off-label prescribing is a common and legitimate practice in medicine, often based on substantial clinical evidence, even if the medication has not received regulatory approval for that specific use. This is especially true for conditions like TRD, where patients have failed to respond to standard treatment options and may need alternative therapeutic approaches. I believe it's crucial for healthcare professionals and the public to be informed about the nuanced ways medications like Adderall can be used, always under appropriate medical supervision. Open dialogue about these practices helps ensure better patient care and broadens our understanding of medication utility beyond their primary approved indications. Thank you for your time and for sharing your medical insights. Best regards, Falco
ADD is not a diagnosis. It's just ADHD, it's either predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive, or a combination of both. Your description is extremely lacking.
So I have no focus and have 500 projects going on at once meth and Adderall gives me complete focus and helps me finish projects but gives me extreme energy I'm just looking for the fix to my issues and your explanation of crystal meth is way way off on 90% of it coming from experience not from a book or in your case treating junkies not all meth users are junkies
Actually meth has a medical use too. Drugs arent to blame its the people who abuse them. Everyone wants to blame drugs, well take a look in the mirror. Its easier to point a finger at someone or something. And as for adderall i take everyday like in supposed to for 15 years but for a period between that time i couldnt get my medicine cuz i didnt have health care so i did meth a few times a day to make up for that. And i slept everynight and ate right like i was supposed too. Now im on my meds like im supposed to. But its the person whose to blame for there life falling to shit , not the drug. Give me a damn break. And no one feels sorry for you
Meth is bad,,BUT for me with severe adhd it completely slowed me down and helped me concentrate, as did the Adderall. BUT what comes with meth is what I described as a never ending nightmare when trying to self medicate and raise 7 children .the worst for me was the paranoia, especially of my wife sleeping with whoever I seen her looking at.which she wasn't cheating but when I was smoking I thought folks were talking about me behind my back and I swore she was cheating on me...Adderall is completely different...BUT it still reminds me of meth..
You were incorrect about how adhd is that you can't focus. Adhd is when you focus on everything around you. You are not interested in boring tasks and you seek stimulation. When you have adhd you are always looking to reward yourself by doing what you want rather than what's boring. You play games rather than going to school or work. You lose interest in your relationships easily. There's a lot more to it than just not being able to focus. It's sort of upsetting to see so many likes on this topic when a lot of what you say is opinion based.
Don't ever change your dosage for years like I have will change how addicted you become. I was on it daily for 6 years at 2×25mg/day. I've been off of it for 11 months. Now I'm switching back because my schizophrenia has gotten so much better. I lost control of my life and damn near lost everything because I didn't understand what was not real. Thank God the mental hospital took me off of it. I'm a very OCD [I get stuck in repeat sometimes] and Adderall keeps me in-the-moment all the time. Where as normally, I become 90% instinct. I'm also Autistic and it allows me to hyperfocus 95% of the time. That's the addicting part. I'm ADHD.
Very good video. However, when describing the ADHD medications, you must take into account that ADHD can be both hyperactive (cant stop moving) or innatentive, what I have (may seem calm but mind is not there.) I take Vyvanse and the "opposite effect" of more energy has always been a side effect for me, however this is completely normal. It does the job mentally plus gives energy to the stereotypical "lazy" ADHD patient, the inattentive kind
I've been taking Adderall now since 2014 and I only take 40 mg a days. I would say it has dramatically helped me in every step of my life. I don't have anything negative to say about it.
I’ve been on adder all since I was 12 years old I have took it everyday up till I was about 18 19 when I moved onto methamphetamine I’m currently 21 years old and feel like I am helplessly addicted to it... I feel I can’t function or even get out of bed. I’ve been using for the past 2 years ago.
I speak from 2 decades of using experience ... the reason you feel that way is due to depleting levels of dopamine alongside the deterioration of its receptors resulting from continual 'burn-through' - which prohibits the natural recycling process of this chemical . Dopamine is highly attributed to the sense of motivation, among other things: its role in mood/behavior; it is also utilized by the body for fluidity in motion- 'uninterrupted' form during movement as opposed to 'choppy/stuttered' activity. As you try coming off the drug, keep in mind that the euphoric highs you experienced in the previous days were, essentially, 'short-lived bursts' of VAST concentrations stolen from stored amounts of intended 'future' dopamine that would have otherwise contributed to a 'balanced overall average behavioral norm' to be dispersed over weeks (if not months or longer). Without subsequent usage to create a 'resurgence', your faculties are left to have at very 'slim pickings' - until the body/brain's processes can establish a new equilibrium from the remaining capabilities of an already finite 'producable' amount. I don't wish to sugarcoat things for you - Its a slow, grueling experience, one which gets worse before it gets better- BUT IT DOES GET BETTER - IF YOU STICK IT OUT! It's up to you to decide just how badly you wish to emerge from that. It only becomes harder the longer you put it off. The sooner you stop, the nearer you are to being 'that-much-closer' in your recovery... and its 95% mental
@@cobyspencer3140 don't mention it... I understand the same particular struggle you speak on EXTREMELY WELL; because of this, I took it upon myself to learn how it works and what it does to the body- in regard to its health effects over long-term use, it will absolutely 'game-change' the normalcy of a central nervous systems' processes. I knew that all my use would take its toll eventually. I'm still relatively young- I do not have bad cholesterol, heart disease, nor obesity yet I have almost daily occurrences of mini-heart attacks (also called silent or mild)- many of which happen during even the most minimal efforts of physical activity (they are also only suspected to worsen- WITH or WITHOUT treatment) and that's not even the worst. At 37 years of age, I already show 4 of the 7 MAJOR indicators for early-onset of Parkinson's (a neurological disorder due to dopamine depletion and receptor deterioration). It doesn't depress/scare me- though I don't look forward to the high-probability likelihood of that in my future- I "made that bed", so I'm prepared to lay in it. I also don't say this to startle you, rather I hope you glean wisdom from someone else's experiences to avoid a very real potential for you and your health in similar outcomes. You are still young and it's ok to make mistakes just don't perpetuate them (that's when they start becoming poor/bad choices)- remember mistakes aren't losses, THEY ARE LESSONS
Good luck bro I hope you stop soon, I had a friend who was addicted and was homeless for 3 years and he suddenly stopped and came up so there's always time to get back up
Ween off it. The reason for that is because you trained your brain to only release dopamine when you take the adderall. Do a dopamine detox. Take supplements. Eat more meat and egg whites. Work out. Ik its not as easy as it sounds take your time. Its up to you though
My life trying to s*** then I started looking into hard drugs. After I was not allowed to see my son because my child's mother was spiteful. I went into a big depression and I'm still there. A lot of places went to offer help but in order to get help you have to have money. I wish they had more resources for men. There are thousands of different resources for women but whenever it comes to men it seems like we get the short end of the stick. We go through depression we go through struggles we go through thoughts of suicide.
when i have taken adderall i usually calm down a good bit and i feel pretty focused. actually my mind is constantly racing about many different things all day. there has been times i have taken it and i fell asleep when it kicked in. it does make me feel more happy and stable but i dont like how it sometimes makes me smell sweaty and idk, i just dont really like stimulants, i wouldnt want to take adderall daily. i dont really like anything other then caffeine. it just makes me feel better. i can also take like 300 mg of caffeine and head to bed. but i was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when i went to a doctor. i subed to you towards the end of the video. i usually hate this addiction stuff but i will sit and listen to someone that has been through it. i used to be addicted to opiates and consolers and rehab just pissed me off. i respect anyone who can beat addiction and then go help others get out of that dark place, those are the ones that can truly help you, not some dude with a degree that has never even tried drugs before.
My husband is addicted to Adderall. He does NOT have adhd. He runs out in two weeks, then gets stimulant pills off the streets until he can refill. His anger and rage is insane. He becomes extremely verbally and emotionally abusive. I've tried to get him to get clean for almost a decade. Now I'm just scared he's going to die. He's 46. 😢
Thank you so much for making that clear I get so much static for taking Adderall exactly as you said it calms you I take Adderall if I can’t sleep it calms me and it’s helps me go to sleep. I just want to thank you again for making this video,, it’s very important that people understand this most people don’t.
I recently received an ADD diagnosis and was prescribed adderall... I'm very concerned because I'm well aware of how prone I can be to addiction. I've noticed that it doesn't do anything to my energy necessarily... It just makes me want to hyperfixate on one thing. I've noticed that when I take my adderall if I decide something is more interesting to me at the moment than homework- I can't multitask like I normally would- I hyperfixate on that one distraction until I'm done. I don't know how to interpret this reaction... Is my adderall working? Should I keep taking it? How can I avoid possibly developing a dependency?
In short pills are not skills. My suggestion is to find someone to help you gain the skills and coping mechanisms while at the same time following your doctor’s advice. The most important thing is to listen to the people you go to for professional advice. Doctors and therapists will know your situation way better than us internet people. There is not one size fits all solution. It takes time and there are many ups and downs. Life doesn’t get easier for anyone we just get better at dealing with it as we grow. Also it’s okay to try different doctors and therapist until you find the ones you trust and connect with.
I know this is a year later, but you could go to a psychopharmacologist and they can help you find the right dosage that works best for you. More adderall doesn’t mean more focus, it’s about getting the right dosage that fits your mind allowing you to perform at your best
Ok one thing that you said that is not correct is that you are putting Strattera into the same category as Adderall and Ritalin when it’s not. Although they’re all used to treat ADD/ADHD, Adderall and Ritalin are stimulants while Strattera is not. Adderall and Ritalin are both Schedule 2 controlled substances meaning they have a high potential for abuse and need to be prescribed monthly by your doctor (no refills). While Strattera on the other hand isn’t even a controlled medication meaning it has no potential for abuse (although I’m sure there are exceptions) and your doctor could prescribe it with refills. So Strattera even if you don’t have ADHD will not give you an energetic or euphoric high.
I wrote this comment as a response on a video on UA-cam, where this woman is saying something about it that i don't agree with 100%. The Video And i figured maybe some of you agree and that the tips i have to counter the side effect would help you guys as well. So here you go. You know what. It depends! I mean i had that high energy ADHD thing going on when i was younger up to 25 years old. But then it did a complete turn and i got introverted instead and no energy at all to talk or be all over the place anymore. But my mind was still ADHD and my thoughts where all over the place! Could not concentrate at all, just thinking and thinking and thinking about 1000 of things. Middle of a movie i would think about something like say "Why do armpits have that bad special sweat odor" out of nowhere, and i just had to google it before continuing with my movie. And that happens 10+ times before the movie ends with random stuff i think about. So in that sense Adderall give me back that ADHD type of personality in that way that i get very social and out going and all my social phobia goes away completely, and i can make music and my videos with such force and enthusiasm now, and my thoughts gather more in 1 place instead of going all over the place! So it's not exactly what you think about it, it's more to it. It really helps me, something like a miracle! If i have those days without the side effects that is. So it's not that simple. But yeah you are right that even when a normal person takes it, it will make him/her high just as anyone else, (besides those with ADHD body energy because they will get calm instead) It does not mean that it won't do anything for someone like me that have ADD which had ADHD before. That ADHD is still here, but not the bodily ADHD, instead it's in my mind now, my brain is in ADHD mode. And Adderall brings that bodily ADHD forward again in a very positive sense this time and with focus, so i am more like a normal person now, and I'm not having chaos in my mind and i´m not having "no motivation" or "no energy" to talk, or to do anything that i love and have talent for, because my mind is going 10000 thoughts a sec. Instead it makes me more whole as a person and brings forward my talents that i have so i can use it and not just letting it go to waste, or even life as it is, like socializing or going for dates. It really has changed my life. My findings after reasearch is that it has to do with problems in the brain when it comes to producing Dopamine. So Dopamine seems to be the big culprit. And Medicines like Adderall fixes that connection/producing Dopamine connections in the brain so that you get your life back your motivation back. Not everyone get´s the same WOW effect of course but you can´t ignore the fact that many does! So people like in my situation really benefits from it big time. I feel alive again! Just wanted to share this :) P.S My personal tip to minimize the side effects i found out by trial and error, is to make sure to take it exactly the same time in the day. So that you make sure 24 hours has gone by before next dose. Because i really think it somehow builds up in your body more and more so you get some kind of a overdose which leads to pain in nerves and stiffness and sore muscles. Because it has not gone 24hours so there is still remains of the Adderall in the blood/body. And drink minimum of 3 liters of water "0.792516 US gal" and take magnesium supplement before your dose. And don't forget to eat some salt during the day with your meal. You need salt magnesium and potassium "potassium found in bananas, or potatoes, just look it up" These things binds the water in your body so that your cells and nerves gets the water they need it works as a cushion for them also reducing the pain. These are what i found out after many times of painful side effects from Adderall, but being able to manage them now if i do what i just wrote.
I know I'm not addicted to adderall because when I don't take it on the weekends it makes me very tired that's it , not shakes or throwing up or cold sweats like other people experience .
Also she obviously doesn’t understand adhd, it’s more like having your head being filled with thoughts and it’s not something you can turn off, stop talking about things you don’t know about, for me Adderall calms me down and focuses me
Want to clarify that Strattera isn’t a stimulant like was listed in the video! It’s actually one of the only non-stimulant medications prescribed for ADHD, as it works by rewiring your brain overtime as opposed to stimulants which have an immediate effect.
This is what I would consider a nothing video. I clicked looking for nothing, got nothing, and now i’m leaving with nothing. Maybe know what you’re talking about before making a video on the topic? You’re very welcome for my click and comment on this nothing though ☺️👍
Craziest thing is it calms me down to much most the time so much so to where it can make me want to go to sleep it’s a weird dam drug and don’t recommend it to anyone
I’ve never done Meth, so I can’t comment on that. I do have ADHD and take Adderall Monday through Friday. I don’t understand how somebody can get addicted to it it slows you down so much I feel almost like a zombie. It does help me at work. I don’t talk as much and I don’t get off task which is the difference between employed and unemployed so I have to take it. But I am so pumped come Saturday and Sunday. Those are my two days of being me! 😊
You got so many things wrong when describing what meth does to people! This isn't the case for all users. Drugs don't change people. Drugs will only bring certain behaviors to the surface which were being suppressed, just like alcohol does. Meth enhances ur more positive traits and enhances ur more negative traits in the opposite direction.
Why would anybody listen to you about this? You really don’t have a clue, it’s like you’ve seen a couple of episodes of breaking bad and then made this video but the part that made me cringe was when you said you don’t wanna know what they make it with, that sucks… know as much as you can THEN maybe go making a video
As long as you continue to take adderall as prescribed (probably once a day), you shouldn’t get addicted. Only when you stop following the prescription order and maybe take two to “be more focused” is when addiction could begin. That’s not even how adderall works though, it’s not like more adderall=more focus. No, it’s about getting the right dosage that works best for your brain. So you’re not all gonna get addicted to meth if you take adderall. If you do meth however, regardless of taking adderall, you’ll probably get addicted….
I see the same comments as I go down the list; "I'm prescribed Adderall but afraid of becoming addicted". Do yourself a favor and go buy a time delay safe or container online. You can even buy USB rechargeable padlocks that can be programmed to remain locked until a specified time has elapsed. I have a programable safe and a lockbox with a USB rechargeable padlock for when I travel. This prevents me from abusing it recreationally because I know what having an addictive personality is like and I know the potential for abusing adderall.
Just fount this. I will be open about this, all of my life I've been considered “distracted” child, as kid it was an issue for many reasons, I now live my life doing home office freelance. I recently smoked meth for the first times and I noticed something, unlike my friends getting all hyped I actually felt more focused, all tough also felt the paranoia, I started doing it to get work done and I have done a lot of work done thanks to smoking it, but I don't wanna be depended on it... I am now thinking to go to psychotherapy and hopefully get a prescribed drug.
Adderall makes me awake and able to focus and do things. Without it I would sleep all day, I remember I was at the mental hospital, and for the physxiatrist to see if I needed it, she quit me cold turkey and that whole week(?) I can't remember any of it. It is a blur to me. Im not sure if I am adhd or not, but without this medication I cant function. I'm on a low dose because ahy higher my anxiety will act up. But it truly is my life saver
She doesnt need to be a doctor. In fact no credential can ever surpass a first hand, real experience through addiction, as opposed to someone who posseses only an intellectual knowledge of it. Someone "knowing" about substances because they buried their face in paper and ink is superficial in their understanding of 'hell' and the loss of dignity/humanity, contrary to someone who lost their soul and became restored of it after "living" through 'hell'.
This video encapsulates why our drug treatment model is a complete failure, and the presenter has zero knowledge to qualify her to speak about ADHD or stimulants for ADHD. Beginning Treatment Centers, do better, please.
Yes, I see patients on several doses of both immediate release and extended release Adderall. However, doses do not go down. In addition, there is amphetamine addiction epidemic in the US these days.
OK here’s the thing Meth is also a prescribed medication methamphetamine hydrochloride is prescribed under the brand-name Desoxyn and it is prescribed for the exact same thing that Adderall is prescribed for. It is an ADHD medication. The only difference between methamphetamine and amphetamine is the methyl molecule allows it to cross the blood brain barrier do not put out these videos that further, the effect of stigma from people on street drugs, made from trash, have on people with ADHD, because that actually illuminates a very valid medical option which is methamphetamine, and it also completely ignores the fact that many of these poor souls that are using the street drug methamphetamine, or doing so also as part of the chain of stigma because they are so reluctant to prescribe the actual pharmaceutical medication that is not made from cleaning products you were doing a disservice with this video
“I don’t even know”, is not something one wants to hear during an informative piece on such an important topic. You should really refrain from creating such videos without sound knowledge through proper research before you inform ppl of incorrect information and negativity influence someone
Someone with inattentive adhd often experience a slight increase in energy along with the normal increase in focus, since their adhd doesn’t involve hyperactivity. Fatigue and low energy is common with inattentive adhd.
so I tried cristle meth before I tried addy and the meth calmed me down and turned off my sex drive and i take a .7 hot rail 5 minutes before bed and I'll sleep really well now when I first tried adarall it sucked it made me fill like shit I would sweat nonstop my body was hot as hell like 100 degrees in a 60 degrees room I couldn't sleep I wanted the hie to stop I had only taken 20 MG and I was dying
if you truly have adhd the drugs both meth ad Addy are going to affect you differently my brother has add and Addy helps him and doesn't Cause him distress and pain but meth does I have adhd and addy puts me in a world of hert trying siting in a sanna for 24 hours on Duble heat 100 percent humidity that's how I feel on addy meth helps me calm down and focus on even the most boring things till it's done
Adderall is an amphetamine which is simply the first generation or form of the stimulant known as meth. Then the second derivative is methamphetamine which is a more concentrated, water soluble form of meth. Then comes crystallized methamphetamine which is the third and purest form of meth. So Adderall is simply a pharmaceutical form of meth made in a lab without restriction so they can use proper chemicals and make them safe for medical treatments. Adderall is the same as meth/crystal meth only it is the first derivative and less powerful them methamphetamine or crystallized methamphetamine. This drug (Adderall) or amphetamines where one of the first stimulants known as Benzedrine which was produced in the 1920s.
adderal is a totally different substance you're just uneducated meth is methamphetamine and adderal is a mix of 3 amphetamine salts that all metabolize at different speed to dextroamphetamine
2:15 you are plainly wrong. ADD & ADHD, the big difference is between the two is that ADD is very chill, down to earth kinda like a high hippy (while being sober) but can't concentrate, the world spins to fast for them. ADHD, you're often faster than the world spins. You're literally the opposite of a calm, high hippy. It's true, that these stimulants do give you the opposite effect. But they give the opposite effect what your sober-self is. So ADHD can become like a zombie when taking these pills, but they will be focused. ADD will become more of a fast rabbit, but probably a bit anti social or cocky. The antisocial side is a side effect because people around you won't be efficient enough for your liking (ADD on meds) But for ADHD this anti social effect will take place if you're too efficient for their liking, you have to slow down for them (ADHD on meds). Maybe you learned something new, maybe not, I'm just trying to help people out here :)
To learn more about Methamphetamine facts, we created this playlist for you: ua-cam.com/video/YHJD15hzv7U/v-deo.html
I took a version of adderall for a few weeks called vyvanse for ADHD and This one didn't help at all and gave me psychotic episodes. Then I switched to concerta which helped a lot. But then I quit it completely and started using medical cannabis. It's legal here in Oklahoma now.
I was looking for more of a scientific explanation. Like maybe that crystal meth is a triple methylated amphetamine and it’s able to pass through the blood brain barrier. Or that it doesn’t need to be metabolized in order for it to work.
Once meth is delivered, you receive all of it at once and get extremely fucking high, like it’s unbelievable just how high you get from it. But with adderall, the four different amphetamine salts (two amphetamine, two dextro-amphetamine) need to be processed in the body somehow in order for the drug to be absorbed and delivered to the brain.
The chemical structures are similar, yet different. You cannot get all of the same effects from adderall as you do with meth... Maybe with super teeny tiny doses of it?
I dunno, but that’s what I’m looking for. Anybody have any suggested videos or articles on this?
@@christianeconomupro.3498 eh, i don’t understand how weed is supposed to help with ADHD. I can see it calming you down, but concentration?

I think you need to revisit on what these medications due.
And for what they are use for..
Correctly fixing some of the errors..
I.found the story was hard to follow ..(at times)
cause I saw and plus was "right to think you be we're putting in some of your own "personal insights
Of you own personal issues with this... Medications plus
Hope to see a revised update
On this subject again.
So we all can learn to better understand what is needed to help others who have this.add
You know about these medications.legal or not.
Then the rest of us..!?!?
But...ahhh not necessarily does Meth .cause your teeth to fall out ..it's lacking dental care
.please .look it up
Thank you

The woman in the video talks a lot of repetition, but basically isn't telling us anything. She sounds like an idiot. She presented no real comparison. F-
“Thinking of 500 things and doing 500 things”
ADHD/ ADD is actually more like “thinking of 500 things, forgetting them after 2 minutes, and doing only one or none at all”
This^^
Story of my life
Same with Adderall use
True story of adderal real
The smarter people will still think of 500 things to do, but may only accomplish 1.
The dumb people may try to think of what the smart person's 500 things to do, get nowhere, but gain frustration, denial, and create a la la land world to escape.
so as respectful as possible.. Came here for information, instead I get (quote) "What is in Crystal Meth? Shoot, I don't even know man, I don't even want to know." Well then maybe you shouldn't be making a comprehensive analysis video comparing the two substances. not trying to bash, just being honest.
Dustin Trinklein spot on
Yes. So annoying . Bye.
Maybe your on the wrong page?🤷🏼♂️
Agreed!
Facts
Not everyone loses all their morals when addicted to crystal meth/ice, I must admit I was brought up with strong morals/values, I smoked ice everyday for at least 5yrs & smoked around 2-3 times per week for around 5yrs before using everyday. I never stole or abused anyone, I worked, payed my bills, was a great mum, payed for my kids private school fees for 18yrs etc. The only thing I did was kept my drug use a secret from my family & friends. I stopped using 2yrs ago when I could no longer afford it, I do still miss it as I no longer have the energy & motivation it gave me. I am proof not all addicts are bad, some addicts can remain good functional people. I started using occasionally as a recreational party drug, then as I got older with more responsibility & worked around 50hrs per week plus had two children to care for life gets hetic, I didn't have enough energy to do everything I needed to do so then started using abit for energy, this continued for a few years but drugs never came first for me my family always came first. Then tragedy struck my family when my husband died from cancer, to cope I started using more & more til I stopped working and no longer have much money. Please don't assume all addicts are the same because they're not.
This is so true the way society treats "addicts" is disgusting nearly everybody is on some drug and are hypocrites
Oh, my mom is addicted to ritalin, I know addicts can be functional.
@@blackslav1497 same with my dad
Im the same way and it makes so many of the ones who let it control themselves and chase the high. I've never in my life chased a high I know that you are only going to get to a point a few times and you won't get there again. Set a budget and stick to it when out your out you didn't plan properly or you had fun with it and that costs some at some point but you don't get to re-up before the normal time. And no this lady is an example of the worst ones I've never sold any of my 1000s of dollars of tool I've held a job infact went from working 12-14 hours a day to 16-18 hours a day and fixed my credit bought a house and all after spitting up with my ex after 12 years together and building several businesses and all and had to start over on alot of it because I was not the money in the situation I was the brains and labor of it. Unfortunately that is not looked at at the same level as who is the name on the loan or paperwork and being I had a ton of medical bills and student loans putting anything with my name was not a good option especially when we started I was 26-27 so still young and had 3.5million in medical bills and 100000 in student loans witch obviously anyone can guess that with the medical bills I wasn't likely current on my student loans and likely had a few judgements against me unfortunately my loans werrr the predatory type and even if I was making six figures+ I would have struggled to pay them as the payments combined on them was 2500 a month (5 loans and I was never in a position to refinance and get the lower payments and combine for lower interest so basically 5 20000$ loans and a payment for each due every month) plus a the late fees and added interest it was a blessing when they finally sued me and got a judgement as it drastically lowered the interest rate and stopped most of the fees that I was being charged. So when we split i dumped all the energy and time I was used to putting in working for my self and running several rentals a small auto diesel and equipment repair shop snow plowing in the winter handyman and plumbing electrical HVAC repairs for a handful of friends that had rentals and needed a good person who they could trust and give them a fair deal and depending on how busy I was I always had a few days a month spent helping out the farmer I started working for when I was 16 and was basically family to me. Don't let people like this one be the picture of the typical type of people that you think of . Infact these are the minority of people who are using. There's not as many people who are good and open about it and it does make it hard to be open about it cause people instantly throw u into a mold that is not anything like reality

Wow! The most incoherent rambling I have ever heard on UA-cam.

Gotta disagree that meth makes you loose your morals and make you look like a zombie. It can, but I know people who've used it for years and you wouldn't know it by looking at them. They may get super paranoid at times but they still have strong morals. Not trying to defend it's use, I know the horrible effects it can have on one's life, just wanted to shed light on the stereotype.
really most of the bad effects come from to high a dose, too frequently, and with a neglect to self care. I mean its literally a perscribed drug, the people useing it under DRs direction do not have any of the ill effects attributed to the drug
Sorry I disagree there's people who I looked up to in terms of morals a few years later nothing matters. Keyword "addiction" not just oh I do it sometimes.
I have ADD and Adderall literally helped me learn algebra lol. I do think ADD is over diagnosed though and is often falsely disgnosed. Kids don't pay attention in school for a variety of reasons so immediately assuming its a mental disorder is a mistake alot of people seem to make. I'm not an expert though thats just my theory.
I agree that children with ADD and ADHD shouldn’t be prescribed these meds until later in their teenage years when it becomes more clear that it is a true diagnosis. You can really mess people up .
why is someone who isn't a doctor talking about addiction treatment, lmao
What do you do

PharmD here. Wondering the same thing 😂 btw strattera is not a stimulant drug.
I’ve been clean over 10 years now. It was always discussed back in the day that good crystal had a very calming effect. It also made me emotionally detached from everything. My dog died in front of me and it didn’t phase me when I was high. I loved that dog like a child. It hit me like a brick when I started coming down though. That was a revelation to me on how that stuff was affecting me at the time...truly one of the most evil substances on earth.
God bless live well mate . It's the devil him self
Thanks for sharing
Losing a pet is the worst 😞
Sounds like a chrissy moltisanti
Calmness does not equal attentiveness. I think you misunderstand how ADHD works. Not everyone becomes hyperactive and even if they do, the objective is not to calm them down, its to make them focus. They are not 'hyper' because of excess energy; they are hyper because they are distracted by far more stimulating things going on in their enviroment or their mind. I am not so sure Aderall is such a good treatment due to its potency and potential for abuse, but a good ADHD med is not ment to calm to reinforce focus, its ment to stimulate to reinforce focus.
Strattera is not a stimulant and is not addicting!!!!!!
Hi Turboed Dude, The case with my son on Strattera was one that didn't work for him, it had the effect of increasing his emotional outbreaks and made him more hyper. I am not a doctor nor do I claim to be, however its just my personal experience. I appreciate your feedback. Best, Cindy
Cindy Wofford the reason it made him more hyper was because he was happier as there are anti depressant qualities to strattera. In fact Strattera is actually a sedative drug like anti depressants are. (I’m currently on it FYI used to be on Vyvanse but they put me on Strattera when I went to rehab 2 months ago)
I wouldn’t call it a sedative considering it’s a NRI, norepinephrine being a precursor to adrenaline. But it’s definitely not a stimulant. If it were then an NDRI such as bupropion would be scheduled with Cocaine when in reality it’s not even close.
Turboed Dude but stimulants are the best way of treating adhd
Adderall helps me tremendously though the side effects can be nasty as i found out, have to alter your diet to replace nutrients and dopamine depletion symptoms, but the ability to finally focus changed my life, there is no doubt that many aren't using it for medicinal purposes however
The one side effect i hate is it makes my stomach hurt and i go to the bathroom constantly.
i do stuff, and yeah adderall had me focused.
People who smoke weed wit mdma or adderall :😎
You prolly dont got no adhd if you feel these symptoms or you just abusing too much 🤣😂
I take adderall and it makes me able not to change my music every dang second or click off and watch something I literally am so bored due to lack of dopamine. So when I take the Adderall my brain does not get the urges to do that stuff since I'm satisfied and relaxed. It never gives me energy and I could easily sleep on it. But one thing I love as well is I have depression and Adhd so when I take the Adderall it helps me focus plus boosts my mood a lot higher. And it feels really good. I have severe adhd though
20 adderal pills a day wtf
Nothing but OPINIONS here... SMH
People who don’t understand drugs talking about drugs it hilarious, the problem where people graduate from an oxy addiction to heroin developed a tolerance which happens just from using opioids like prescription pain killers often barely are considered abusing drugs but they still develop this tolerance that when fed usually leads to heroin as the next drug, Adderall is very different because it’s taken at doses that don’t even get you high and to go from Adderall to meth you have to be downing like 10 15mg pills a day until you don’t feel anything from them and try meth and get addicted, people don’t go from Adderall to meth, most people don’t use Adderall in a dangerous way, Adderall is safe and imporves the lives of millions
I was a 500lb diabetic did a weight loss program with phentermine and I noticed it helped me focus and get tasks accomplished and gave me energy but I got super high tolerance for phentermine so I quit going...I went to a psychiatrist and got on Adderall .... I moved away from my dr and went off the meds I found meth and it works way better faster and cheaper if you have a reliable clean source of meth and you dose it out conservatively it'll do the same thing as Adderall... In 1.5 years iv dropped 200 lbs and no longer required insulin
depending on your weight and ROA, you can get high af on 10mg of adderall. i've seen it countless times. because amphetamines have been regularly used by well off eurocentrics since ww2 tho, they will never be criminalized so there will never be a huge ocean of people that get stripped of their drug of choice who then have to move to the closest street drug to maintain being alive. look up the dosages soldiers used to take. they are the same as what children are given today. pretty sure thats all you need to hear about what the drug is actually for...
I used to get accused of overdosing on amphetamines by my friends because I'd get calm & quiet when we took "speed" while they would get animated & high, even though I took the same amount as they did.
I’m an 18 year old meth addict, I was given ritilan by the time I was 3 and ended up following through with crystal meth when my scrip went away. Such a wolf in sheep’s clothing for me.
I'm a father and feel very fearful for you. I hope and pray you get off of the meth. You still have your entire life ahead of you.
@@techisgod it's literally how his mind and body developed. Under the influence. He doesn't experience hunger or sleep the same way your average 18 year old. I cannot even begin to imagine how unhealthy this young man is.
It's truly unacceptable and sickening that amphetamines are prescribed to such young kids.
If the theory is that a stimulant is going to have a reverse effect on an extremely hyper child, then perhaps black tea should be had at all 3 meals.
Under no circumstances is it acceptable to force children to be drugged into docility.
@@5O4evr I 100% agree with you. It bothers me when kids suffer.
My nephew was prescribed adderall as a child…. Parents divorced, mom’s way of getting the child under control was have a doctor prescribe something. she was an alcoholic, now dead, drank herself to death. Now, he is addicted to meth for three years. These prescription drugs are not safe and lead to worse. Sometimes the cure is worse that the affliction.
@@5O4evr … Change doctors real fast…. Run from any that prescribes such poison.
She doesn’t know what ADHD is. Stimulants are also prescribed for other illnesses.
I have a feeling she took her sons medication. That’s why it didn’t work.
I have ADHD more of an ADD because my hyperactivity is in my brain, if I’m off meds I’m thinking a hundred miles per minute and I can’t stay focused on one activity, and I don’t want to do chores because it’s too much and it’s constant and it’s boring, I know that sounds so dumb but I literally can’t bring myself to get up and go do it. When I’m on adderall I’m able to get everything I have to do done and then some, because I’m focused on the task and I’m not thinking too much about it. I recently went through a rough time because the amount I was on was not helping me at all, I would lay in bed and sleep for the majority of the day, I was depressed and felt like crap, but as soon as my dr changed my meds I was up and getting things done.
Everyone is different but in my case I don’t feel high on adderall, I just feel energized and I feel like my mind just shuts down and I get done what I have to get done without procrastinating and feeling sluggish. Also I don’t get irritable by the smallest thing.
ADHD patient here! My Adderall literally puts me to sleep. I take it as prescribed once in the morning. By 1pm I am actually struggling to stay awake. It doesn't give me energy AT ALL. But it has allowed me to focus and complete projects that I have never been able to.
I used to be all over the place and forgetful about everything!! I couldn't even read a book because I would start fidgeting and get distracted about other things. I could actually be reading the words of the paragraph while thinking about what I'm going to do for dinner.
Then I would have to go back and read the paragraph again to grasp the concept of what it said. Sometimes I had to do this 3 or 4 times. I suffered my entire childhood with ADHD and my father didn't believe in giving the medicine to me instead he ""fixed me with a belt and a one hitter of weed"". So I grew up believing that ADHD was bad and never got the help I needed and ended up never finishing college, never being able to stay at a job for long because I would lose interest, and just really screwed a lot of my life away because I lived untreated for so long. My Adderall has literally helped me for once see life with clarity and now I want to complete all of my goals before I'm too old. It's bittersweet. Because this could have worked out so much differently for me if
I would have been given treatment as a child instead of abuse. I want people to please stop giving stimulants like Adderall a bad rep..... If you don't have ADHD you don't understand just how lucky you are. So please if you're chasing a high, think about that first.
I hope that helps someone to understand how amazing this medication can be for those of us who actually benefit from it.
Adderall has the same effect on me also. Like you got diagnosed later in life(45) and trying to make the most of life now that it’s a little clearer
I think it's kinda the same not completely
Dude I have the same problem. It can’t be Adderall. It’s a waste of time to take it. I actually just woke up from a nap. I’ve been told it’s in your head. BS we are being scammed.
you arent getting enough nutrition and are literally starving your body. you shouldnt be getting tired less than 10 hours into your day unless you arent getting enough nutrition and sleep

Lmao
When you start using just to get through the come down, that's when you start getting addicted for reel. Suffer through the hang over and never use it when your feeling low or tired to pick you up
I didn’t experience any of that on crystal math. I’ve done it a few times and it got me really high and that was it. It was like doing cocaine times 100.
Yeah that why it's very addictive, i mean cocaine "x100" seems like pretty fun 🤣, and much people keeps using it from time to time until they get to dark side, that's why is very dangerous, while adderall or speed(street amphetamine) is not that addictive as you will run up your tolerance to the point it doesn't even work anymore so you basically quit it for some time or for good(not everyone ofc but way more commonly then meth), speed(amphetamine) doesn't have that crazy euphoric initial high like meth which is the reason why meth is so much more addictive then speed, i use speed from time to time, pretty cool and subtle drug if you have limits
@@davolthe1261 tbf its about the same as coke for me but a much longer lasting high
Hi could u Pls describe what a meth high is supposed to feel like? I feel like the only thing it does for me is calm me down (n stops me from being impulsive/having massive mood swings) n maybe helps me carry out some of my tasks (but i have to smoke alot for that). It still doesnt help give me energy tho 🥲🥲coke is even worse it just does nothing at all
Love this woman’s heart it seems genuine.
This is why we need a dislike count...
The Adderall for me mentally calms me, but physically I sometimes bite my fingernails or I feel nervous. I don’t like it and I am gonna ask to lower my dose.
They are similar, which is why they are both effective and approved treatments for ADHD.
Hi Everyone, I just wanted to state that any Positive or Negative comments are welcome, as we constantly strive to improve our videos. Hope everyone has a great day :) , Best, Cindy
Cindy Wofford I got prescribed meth
i easily fall asleep on high amounts of caffeine and remember falling asleep pretty often during the 2 months i was on an adderall prescription. it didnt really help me at all but my problems were always absence of basic human necessities and a safe/stable environment to grow from. i can wrangle my concentration fine when im not having to worry about getting killed or dying from starvation lol.
I agree with most of what you said. I take Adderall, but I take it for legitimate Inattentive ADHD (ADD). It has never felt like a stimulant or given me a high. I have no desire to take more medication than what was prescribed, and I've never experienced withdrawals of any kind when I've stopped taking it cold turkey.
With that said, it's a shame that there are still a number of individuals who are being misdiagnosed with ADD/ADHD. When it's for legitimate ADD/ADHD, it's life changing for the better, but, when it's not, addiction and a built up tolerance level can become the result. It can also become a gateway drug, which is tragic.
FYI: Yes, Strattera is a medication used to treat ADD/ADHD, but it is not a stimulant.
@vanessajones4838 I have no interest. That just makes it harder for people who actually need it to get it.
Hmm, I’m torn, the video as a whole is done with good intentions, however, I became unsure of the information I was receiving as soon as strattera was thrown in as a stimulant, which it is not, I being someone diagnosed with ADHD, have been prescribed both Strattera and Adderall, and strattera although it does work for some, did not for me. The reason I went with this first was because it was not a stimulant, regardless, the point I am trying to make with this comment is to please make sure what is being said is correct.
Thank you for your content and I appreciate your expertise and the information you've shared about Adderall being strictly prescribed for ADHD and ADD.
However, it's essential to highlight that while Adderall is primarily approved for these conditions, it is sometimes prescribed off-label for other medical conditions following a rigorous risk-benefit analysis by a healthcare provider. For example, I am prescribed Adderall for Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) under the close supervision of my psychiatrist.
Off-label prescribing is a common and legitimate practice in medicine, often based on substantial clinical evidence, even if the medication has not received regulatory approval for that specific use. This is especially true for conditions like TRD, where patients have failed to respond to standard treatment options and may need alternative therapeutic approaches.
I believe it's crucial for healthcare professionals and the public to be informed about the nuanced ways medications like Adderall can be used, always under appropriate medical supervision. Open dialogue about these practices helps ensure better patient care and broadens our understanding of medication utility beyond their primary approved indications.
Thank you for your time and for sharing your medical insights.
Best regards,
Falco
ADD is not a diagnosis. It's just ADHD, it's either predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive, or a combination of both. Your description is extremely lacking.
So I have no focus and have 500 projects going on at once meth and Adderall gives me complete focus and helps me finish projects but gives me extreme energy I'm just looking for the fix to my issues and your explanation of crystal meth is way way off on 90% of it coming from experience not from a book or in your case treating junkies not all meth users are junkies
I was on adderall from age 7 to 19. I can write a book about how that affected me.
Actually meth has a medical use too. Drugs arent to blame its the people who abuse them. Everyone wants to blame drugs, well take a look in the mirror. Its easier to point a finger at someone or something. And as for adderall i take everyday like in supposed to for 15 years but for a period between that time i couldnt get my medicine cuz i didnt have health care so i did meth a few times a day to make up for that. And i slept everynight and ate right like i was supposed too. Now im on my meds like im supposed to. But its the person whose to blame for there life falling to shit , not the drug. Give me a damn break. And no one feels sorry for you
You can be depressed and not focused. Not everyone is always moving that has adhd.
Every time she says Strattera in her list of stimulants that put kids at risk of meth addiction, she loses even more credibility lol
Meth is bad,,BUT for me with severe adhd it completely slowed me down and helped me concentrate, as did the Adderall. BUT what comes with meth is what I described as a never ending nightmare when trying to self medicate and raise 7 children .the worst for me was the paranoia, especially of my wife sleeping with whoever I seen her looking at.which she wasn't cheating but when I was smoking I thought folks were talking about me behind my back and I swore she was cheating on me...Adderall is completely different...BUT it still reminds me of meth..
Dosage and route of intake matter a lot. If you got paranoia then you were definitely taking way too much.
You were incorrect about how adhd is that you can't focus. Adhd is when you focus on everything around you. You are not interested in boring tasks and you seek stimulation. When you have adhd you are always looking to reward yourself by doing what you want rather than what's boring. You play games rather than going to school or work. You lose interest in your relationships easily. There's a lot more to it than just not being able to focus. It's sort of upsetting to see so many likes on this topic when a lot of what you say is opinion based.
HAHAHAHA did she say "Brazy?"
Don't ever change your dosage for years like I have will change how addicted you become. I was on it daily for 6 years at 2×25mg/day. I've been off of it for 11 months. Now I'm switching back because my schizophrenia has gotten so much better. I lost control of my life and damn near lost everything because I didn't understand what was not real. Thank God the mental hospital took me off of it. I'm a very OCD [I get stuck in repeat sometimes] and Adderall keeps me in-the-moment all the time. Where as normally, I become 90% instinct. I'm also Autistic and it allows me to hyperfocus 95% of the time. That's the addicting part. I'm ADHD.
Oh man...so many thoughts. She is right on one part she "doesn't want to know". Just another biased viewpoint.
"Not a doctor never claim to be" but here you are saying what the effects of add/adhd drugs and dianosis' and effects SHOULD be.
Thumbs down
Very good video. However, when describing the ADHD medications, you must take into account that ADHD can be both hyperactive (cant stop moving) or innatentive, what I have (may seem calm but mind is not there.) I take Vyvanse and the "opposite effect" of more energy has always been a side effect for me, however this is completely normal. It does the job mentally plus gives energy to the stereotypical "lazy" ADHD patient, the inattentive kind
Aka A.D.D
@@rebelfoley4576 add is the outdated term buddy get your facts straight
I've been taking Adderall now since 2014 and I only take 40 mg a days. I would say it has dramatically helped me in every step of my life. I don't have anything negative to say about it.
Does it make you ugly

addiction is a state of mind! Sorry addiction is just another word for excuses.. ppl runing from there responsibility...
Wait so if a person with adhd tries to abuse adderal then would they not get that high that others would?
I’ve been on adder all since I was 12 years old I have took it everyday up till I was about 18 19 when I moved onto methamphetamine I’m currently 21 years old and feel like I am helplessly addicted to it... I feel I can’t function or even get out of bed. I’ve been using for the past 2 years ago.
I speak from 2 decades of using experience ... the reason you feel that way is due to depleting levels of dopamine alongside the deterioration of its receptors resulting from continual 'burn-through' - which prohibits the natural recycling process of this chemical . Dopamine is highly attributed to the sense of motivation, among other things: its role in mood/behavior; it is also utilized by the body for fluidity in motion- 'uninterrupted' form during movement as opposed to 'choppy/stuttered' activity. As you try coming off the drug, keep in mind that the euphoric highs you experienced in the previous days were, essentially, 'short-lived bursts' of VAST concentrations stolen from stored amounts of intended 'future' dopamine that would have otherwise contributed to a 'balanced overall average behavioral norm' to be dispersed over weeks (if not months or longer). Without subsequent usage to create a 'resurgence', your faculties are left to have at very 'slim pickings' - until the body/brain's processes can establish a new equilibrium from the remaining capabilities of an already finite 'producable' amount. I don't wish to sugarcoat things for you - Its a slow, grueling experience, one which gets worse before it gets better- BUT IT DOES GET BETTER - IF YOU STICK IT OUT! It's up to you to decide just how badly you wish to emerge from that. It only becomes harder the longer you put it off. The sooner you stop, the nearer you are to being 'that-much-closer' in your recovery... and its 95% mental
IamMe WhoYoube Thank you for this it means a lot
@@cobyspencer3140 don't mention it... I understand the same particular struggle you speak on EXTREMELY WELL; because of this, I took it upon myself to learn how it works and what it does to the body- in regard to its health effects over long-term use, it will absolutely 'game-change' the normalcy of a central nervous systems' processes. I knew that all my use would take its toll eventually. I'm still relatively young- I do not have bad cholesterol, heart disease, nor obesity yet I have almost daily occurrences of mini-heart attacks (also called silent or mild)- many of which happen during even the most minimal efforts of physical activity (they are also only suspected to worsen- WITH or WITHOUT treatment) and that's not even the worst. At 37 years of age, I already show 4 of the 7 MAJOR indicators for early-onset of Parkinson's (a neurological disorder due to dopamine depletion and receptor deterioration). It doesn't depress/scare me- though I don't look forward to the high-probability likelihood of that in my future- I "made that bed", so I'm prepared to lay in it. I also don't say this to startle you, rather I hope you glean wisdom from someone else's experiences to avoid a very real potential for you and your health in similar outcomes. You are still young and it's ok to make mistakes just don't perpetuate them (that's when they start becoming poor/bad choices)- remember mistakes aren't losses, THEY ARE LESSONS
Good luck bro I hope you stop soon, I had a friend who was addicted and was homeless for 3 years and he suddenly stopped and came up so there's always time to get back up
Ween off it. The reason for that is because you trained your brain to only release dopamine when you take the adderall. Do a dopamine detox. Take supplements. Eat more meat and egg whites. Work out. Ik its not as easy as it sounds take your time. Its up to you though
My life trying to s*** then I started looking into hard drugs. After I was not allowed to see my son because my child's mother was spiteful. I went into a big depression and I'm still there. A lot of places went to offer help but in order to get help you have to have money. I wish they had more resources for men. There are thousands of different resources for women but whenever it comes to men it seems like we get the short end of the stick. We go through depression we go through struggles we go through thoughts of suicide.
That's what I feel when I take the Adderall very calm, but I'm still having organization problem.
Pure meth only chem felt fully calm from did one time amphetamine does then causes anxiety why i just microdose psylocybin now
@@jacoblynch1678 i wanted to microdose shrooms for a long time now but i can never get any
She looks like Ozzy Osbourne
when i have taken adderall i usually calm down a good bit and i feel pretty focused. actually my mind is constantly racing about many different things all day. there has been times i have taken it and i fell asleep when it kicked in. it does make me feel more happy and stable but i dont like how it sometimes makes me smell sweaty and idk, i just dont really like stimulants, i wouldnt want to take adderall daily. i dont really like anything other then caffeine. it just makes me feel better. i can also take like 300 mg of caffeine and head to bed. but i was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when i went to a doctor. i subed to you towards the end of the video. i usually hate this addiction stuff but i will sit and listen to someone that has been through it. i used to be addicted to opiates and consolers and rehab just pissed me off. i respect anyone who can beat addiction and then go help others get out of that dark place, those are the ones that can truly help you, not some dude with a degree that has never even tried drugs before.
My husband is addicted to Adderall. He does NOT have adhd. He runs out in two weeks, then gets stimulant pills off the streets until he can refill. His anger and rage is insane. He becomes extremely verbally and emotionally abusive. I've tried to get him to get clean for almost a decade. Now I'm just scared he's going to die. He's 46. 😢
PEOPLE THAT TASKE ADDERAL CANNOT EXPERIENCE TRUE LOVE 😞
Thank you so much for making that clear I get so much static for taking Adderall exactly as you said it calms you I take Adderall if I can’t sleep it calms me and it’s helps me go to sleep. I just want to thank you again for making this video,, it’s very important that people understand this most people don’t.
I know I have ADD, but every medication does give me energy.
I recently received an ADD diagnosis and was prescribed adderall... I'm very concerned because I'm well aware of how prone I can be to addiction. I've noticed that it doesn't do anything to my energy necessarily... It just makes me want to hyperfixate on one thing. I've noticed that when I take my adderall if I decide something is more interesting to me at the moment than homework- I can't multitask like I normally would- I hyperfixate on that one distraction until I'm done. I don't know how to interpret this reaction...
Is my adderall working? Should I keep taking it? How can I avoid possibly developing a dependency?
In short pills are not skills. My suggestion is to find someone to help you gain the skills and coping mechanisms while at the same time following your doctor’s advice. The most important thing is to listen to the people you go to for professional advice. Doctors and therapists will know your situation way better than us internet people. There is not one size fits all solution. It takes time and there are many ups and downs. Life doesn’t get easier for anyone we just get better at dealing with it as we grow.
Also it’s okay to try different doctors and therapist until you find the ones you trust and connect with.
I know this is a year later, but you could go to a psychopharmacologist and they can help you find the right dosage that works best for you. More adderall doesn’t mean more focus, it’s about getting the right dosage that fits your mind allowing you to perform at your best
Strattera(atomoxetine) is not usually considered a stimulant and it doesn't cause nearly the same effect as stimulants do.
Ok one thing that you said that is not correct is that you are putting Strattera into the same category as Adderall and Ritalin when it’s not. Although they’re all used to treat ADD/ADHD, Adderall and Ritalin are stimulants while Strattera is not. Adderall and Ritalin are both Schedule 2 controlled substances meaning they have a high potential for abuse and need to be prescribed monthly by your doctor (no refills). While Strattera on the other hand isn’t even a controlled medication meaning it has no potential for abuse (although I’m sure there are exceptions) and your doctor could prescribe it with refills. So Strattera even if you don’t have ADHD will not give you an energetic or euphoric high.
I wrote this comment as a response on a video on UA-cam, where this woman is saying something about it that i don't agree with 100%. The Video
And i figured maybe some of you agree and that the tips i have to counter the side effect would help you guys as well. So here you go.
You know what. It depends! I mean i had that high energy ADHD thing going on when i was younger up to 25 years old. But then it did a complete turn and i got introverted instead and no energy at all to talk or be all over the place anymore. But my mind was still ADHD and my thoughts where all over the place! Could not concentrate at all, just thinking and thinking and thinking about 1000 of things. Middle of a movie i would think about something like say "Why do armpits have that bad special sweat odor" out of nowhere, and i just had to google it before continuing with my movie. And that happens 10+ times before the movie ends with random stuff i think about. So in that sense Adderall give me back that ADHD type of personality in that way that i get very social and out going and all my social phobia goes away completely, and i can make music and my videos with such force and enthusiasm now, and my thoughts gather more in 1 place instead of going all over the place! So it's not exactly what you think about it, it's more to it.
It really helps me, something like a miracle! If i have those days without the side effects that is.
So it's not that simple. But yeah you are right that even when a normal person takes it, it will make him/her high just as anyone else, (besides those with ADHD body energy because they will get calm instead) It does not mean that it won't do anything for someone like me that have ADD which had ADHD before. That ADHD is still here, but not the bodily ADHD, instead it's in my mind now, my brain is in ADHD mode.
And Adderall brings that bodily ADHD forward again in a very positive sense this time and with focus, so i am more like a normal person now, and I'm not having chaos in my mind and i´m not having "no motivation" or "no energy" to talk, or to do anything that i love and have talent for, because my mind is going 10000 thoughts a sec. Instead it makes me more whole as a person and brings forward my talents that i have so i can use it and not just letting it go to waste, or even life as it is, like socializing or going for dates. It really has changed my life. My findings after reasearch is that it has to do with problems in the brain when it comes to producing Dopamine. So Dopamine seems to be the big culprit. And Medicines like Adderall fixes that connection/producing Dopamine connections in the brain so that you get your life back your motivation back. Not everyone get´s the same WOW effect of course but you can´t ignore the fact that many does!
So people like in my situation really benefits from it big time. I feel alive again! Just wanted to share this :)
P.S My personal tip to minimize the side effects i found out by trial and error, is to make sure to take it exactly the same time in the day. So that you make sure 24 hours has gone by before next dose. Because i really think it somehow builds up in your body more and more so you get some kind of a overdose which leads to pain in nerves and stiffness and sore muscles. Because it has not gone 24hours so there is still remains of the Adderall in the blood/body. And drink minimum of 3 liters of water "0.792516 US gal" and take magnesium supplement before your dose. And don't forget to eat some salt during the day with your meal. You need salt magnesium and potassium "potassium found in bananas, or potatoes, just look it up" These things binds the water in your body so that your cells and nerves gets the water they need it works as a cushion for them also reducing the pain. These are what i found out after many times of painful side effects from Adderall, but being able to manage them now if i do what i just wrote.
I know I'm not addicted to adderall because when I don't take it on the weekends it makes me very tired that's it , not shakes or throwing up or cold sweats like other people experience .
@@koshea44 Good to know . Thank you
@vanessa jones LOL .. I'm all set .
Also she obviously doesn’t understand adhd, it’s more like having your head being filled with thoughts and it’s not something you can turn off, stop talking about things you don’t know about, for me Adderall calms me down and focuses me
Want to clarify that Strattera isn’t a stimulant like was listed in the video! It’s actually one of the only non-stimulant medications prescribed for ADHD, as it works by rewiring your brain overtime as opposed to stimulants which have an immediate effect.
This is what I would consider a nothing video. I clicked looking for nothing, got nothing, and now i’m leaving with nothing. Maybe know what you’re talking about before making a video on the topic? You’re very welcome for my click and comment on this nothing though ☺️👍
I’m no expert but I could’ve done a much more accurate video
Strattera is not a stimulant
Thanks Cindy for your insite!!!
Strattera isn't a stimulant
Some patients need nutrient and pharmacogenetic tests to see why prescription stimulants are not effective at recommended doses.
Not everybody that has ADHD is hyper.. so I’m just have poor focus skills, and lethargy and adderall helps with that.
500 things would be going through mind in class when I took adrall
Craziest thing is it calms me down to much most the time so much so to where it can make me want to go to sleep it’s a weird dam drug and don’t recommend it to anyone
Me too!! (Not crystal, my adhd med!😮)
Disagree about not focusing i hyper focus when i like the topic. Proplem ritalin doesnt tell me on what to concentrate
I’ve never done Meth, so I can’t comment on that. I do have ADHD and take Adderall Monday through Friday. I don’t understand how somebody can get addicted to it it slows you down so much I feel almost like a zombie. It does help me at work. I don’t talk as much and I don’t get off task which is the difference between employed and unemployed so I have to take it. But I am so pumped come Saturday and Sunday. Those are my two days of being me! 😊
You got so many things wrong when describing what meth does to people! This isn't the case for all users. Drugs don't change people. Drugs will only bring certain behaviors to the surface which were being suppressed, just like alcohol does. Meth enhances ur more positive traits and enhances ur more negative traits in the opposite direction.
Why would anybody listen to you about this?
You really don’t have a clue, it’s like you’ve seen a couple of episodes of breaking bad and then made this video but the part that made me cringe was when you said you don’t wanna know what they make it with, that sucks… know as much as you can THEN maybe go making a video
Are you serious... Adhd is a dopamine issue it's a debilitating issue...
I cannot function without medication
As long as you continue to take adderall as prescribed (probably once a day), you shouldn’t get addicted. Only when you stop following the prescription order and maybe take two to “be more focused” is when addiction could begin. That’s not even how adderall works though, it’s not like more adderall=more focus. No, it’s about getting the right dosage that works best for your brain.
So you’re not all gonna get addicted to meth if you take adderall. If you do meth however, regardless of taking adderall, you’ll probably get addicted….
I see the same comments as I go down the list; "I'm prescribed Adderall but afraid of becoming addicted". Do yourself a favor and go buy a time delay safe or container online. You can even buy USB rechargeable padlocks that can be programmed to remain locked until a specified time has elapsed. I have a programable safe and a lockbox with a USB rechargeable padlock for when I travel. This prevents me from abusing it recreationally because I know what having an addictive personality is like and I know the potential for abusing adderall.
"they can't calm down enough to focus". This is the worst description of ADHD I think I've ever heard.
Just fount this. I will be open about this, all of my life I've been considered “distracted” child, as kid it was an issue for many reasons, I now live my life doing home office freelance. I recently smoked meth for the first times and I noticed something, unlike my friends getting all hyped I actually felt more focused, all tough also felt the paranoia, I started doing it to get work done and I have done a lot of work done thanks to smoking it, but I don't wanna be depended on it... I am now thinking to go to psychotherapy and hopefully get a prescribed drug.
Adderall makes me awake and able to focus and do things. Without it I would sleep all day, I remember I was at the mental hospital, and for the physxiatrist to see if I needed it, she quit me cold turkey and that whole week(?) I can't remember any of it. It is a blur to me. Im not sure if I am adhd or not, but without this medication I cant function. I'm on a low dose because ahy higher my anxiety will act up. But it truly is my life saver
She doesnt need to be a doctor. In fact no credential can ever surpass a first hand, real experience through addiction, as opposed to someone who posseses only an intellectual knowledge of it. Someone "knowing" about substances because they buried their face in paper and ink is superficial in their understanding of 'hell' and the loss of dignity/humanity, contrary to someone who lost their soul and became restored of it after "living" through 'hell'.
This video encapsulates why our drug treatment model is a complete failure, and the presenter has zero knowledge to qualify her to speak about ADHD or stimulants for ADHD.
Beginning Treatment Centers, do better, please.
Yes, I see patients on several doses of both immediate release and extended release Adderall. However, doses do not go down. In addition, there is amphetamine addiction epidemic in the US these days.
OK here’s the thing Meth is also a prescribed medication methamphetamine hydrochloride is prescribed under the brand-name Desoxyn and it is prescribed for the exact same thing that Adderall is prescribed for. It is an ADHD medication. The only difference between methamphetamine and amphetamine is the methyl molecule allows it to cross the blood brain barrier do not put out these videos that further, the effect of stigma from people on street drugs, made from trash, have on people with ADHD, because that actually illuminates a very valid medical option which is methamphetamine, and it also completely ignores the fact that many of these poor souls that are using the street drug methamphetamine, or doing so also as part of the chain of stigma because they are so reluctant to prescribe the actual pharmaceutical medication that is not made from cleaning products you were doing a disservice with this video
“I don’t even know”, is not something one wants to hear during an informative piece on such an important topic. You should really refrain from creating such videos without sound knowledge through proper research before you inform ppl of incorrect information and negativity influence someone
Strattera is a non-narcotic drug, so it has no connection whatsoever to methamphetamine, haha sorry, i just had to clarify that🤓💀
Someone with inattentive adhd often experience a slight increase in energy along with the normal increase in focus, since their adhd doesn’t involve hyperactivity. Fatigue and low energy is common with inattentive adhd.
so I tried cristle meth before I tried addy and the meth calmed me down and turned off my sex drive and i take a .7 hot rail 5 minutes before bed and I'll sleep really well now when I first tried adarall it sucked it made me fill like shit I would sweat nonstop my body was hot as hell like 100 degrees in a 60 degrees room I couldn't sleep I wanted the hie to stop I had only taken 20 MG and I was dying
if you truly have adhd the drugs both meth ad Addy are going to affect you differently my brother has add and Addy helps him and doesn't Cause him distress and pain but meth does I have adhd and addy puts me in a world of hert trying siting in a sanna for 24 hours on Duble heat 100 percent humidity that's how I feel on addy meth helps me calm down and focus on even the most boring things till it's done
Strattera is not a stimulant..It's a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) and works like an antidepressant.
Adderall is an amphetamine which is simply the first generation or form of the stimulant known as meth.
Then the second derivative is methamphetamine which is a more concentrated, water soluble form of meth.
Then comes crystallized methamphetamine which is the third and purest form of meth.
So Adderall is simply a pharmaceutical form of meth made in a lab without restriction so they can use proper chemicals and make them safe for medical treatments.
Adderall is the same as meth/crystal meth only it is the first derivative and less powerful them methamphetamine or crystallized methamphetamine.
This drug (Adderall) or amphetamines where one of the first stimulants known as Benzedrine which was produced in the 1920s.
adderal is a totally different substance you're just uneducated meth is methamphetamine and adderal is a mix of 3 amphetamine salts that all metabolize at different speed to dextroamphetamine
2:15 you are plainly wrong. ADD & ADHD, the big difference is between the two is that ADD is very chill, down to earth kinda like a high hippy (while being sober) but can't concentrate, the world spins to fast for them.
ADHD, you're often faster than the world spins. You're literally the opposite of a calm, high hippy.
It's true, that these stimulants do give you the opposite effect. But they give the opposite effect what your sober-self is.
So ADHD can become like a zombie when taking these pills, but they will be focused. ADD will become more of a fast rabbit, but probably a bit anti social or cocky.
The antisocial side is a side effect because people around you won't be efficient enough for your liking (ADD on meds)
But for ADHD this anti social effect will take place if you're too efficient for their liking, you have to slow down for them (ADHD on meds).
Maybe you learned something new, maybe not, I'm just trying to help people out here :)
This is probably the boringest explanation I’ve found on UA-cam I literally fell asleep after a min
