Unfortunately people underestimate just how addictive stimulants like Adderall are. Dopamine is a powerful neurotransmitter that other stimulants don't produce at such a high rate which is why I think drugs like Adderall can be lead to dependence. My personal experience with addiction was that just as much as drugs are part of it is the psychological state of the person taking the drugs are also is powerful component.

I take 30 or so a day, I have a nerve disorder, but I definitively take more then I need. It started with Kidney Stones, though, which are gone now. I've been having pains in my kidney area, that's how I ended up here, I started getting worried. How did 100 a day effect that? (And man, do I sympathize with being embarrassed going to buy more. I hate to admit that I split it between 3 different pharmacies.) Also, does it make you feel sick? The Tylenol 1s? I also have Social Anxiety,...
This is not Autumn. It is her mom. I have been dealing with her for yrs. She tried the methadone clinic. She stopped going after eight months. She stole again. The law just can't seem to get enough to lock her up so she can stop this stuff. I have tried everything to help her. Now she is on the streets. No, that doesn't make me feel good. So I need to know about this chemical and get it to the U.S. Oh course, it will be too late for my daughter if it ever gets to the U.S. I don't...
