It works better when you've hardly had any experience in it. I started out with vyvanse but its really bad because it makes you feel depressed to relapse its effects or it just doesn't work well on me because i try to work at night. (vyvanse is supposed to be taken during the day).
Does it make you smarter?
just take it for exams, works well from my experience
I was diagnosed back in the 6th or 7th grade with ADHD
I didn't get prescribed anything because my grades were "good"
I literally couldn't focus in class, I just used my intuition most of the time to surf by
Skip to the end of 9th grade
My grades fell, and I was becoming erratic
Got prescribed on Adderall
My GPA went from a 3.5 in Freshmen year (I wasn't really trying and I did not care) to a 4.3 in my Junior year
I finally felt "normal," I guess
It let my mind be clear and I could hear my thoughts precisely.
Did it make me smarter? No. Did it give me more motivation and a greater sense of clarity? Hell yes.
i need this so much, i feel it all the time, cant focus, go eat something, come to 4 chan, etc,. Except if i HAVE to, then i really focus but i cant get to do my personal work (aka not academia courses)
It's literally meth. Of course it makes you smarter
I've been on XR adderall, vyvanse (XR, bound with an amino acid to prevent people from snorting it or some shit like that), and regular instant release adderall.
I'm currently on the instant release. I like it because you can take it has needed, so you don't have to rely on a single pill everyday. I take two per day when I need to, one if I don't have much to do, or none I have nothing whatsoever to do.
Just don't abuse it and become a meth head.
This right here.
yeah ive snorted riddlin before shits cash
i took an adderall xr the day of a test i didnt feel focused at all tho
I took it, math became easier I could give a fuck about my other courses though so those grades didnt change. Got A's in math and science though. When i was first on it i became really anxious like I wanted to punch my teacher in the face and take a worksheet so i could do the problems instead of having him drone on. Literally you cant wait to do shit, you always have to be doing something and are fully engaged. It offers focus on a micro level, so individual tasks you will fly through though you should have your goals set so you can get the most out of it or else your laser focus will go to stupid shit. Focusing in class you do automatically but if you dont do hw you'll still fuck up so dont occupy yourself with videogames for even a second or else 5 hours are going to fly by before you realize what happened. So while it lasts make sure you start on your tasks when you work outside of a classroom.
I've also been prescribed Adderall but I absolutely loath the stuff. Does it help with focus and encourage work ethic? Yes, however, the after effects absolutely suck! You crash and lose all motivation (sometimes even the will to live) and you can't sleep. It's a love/hate relationship.
