Adderall users for ADHD, I just started taking IR adderall and I feel conflicted about it. While it worked great to get me out of bed and do tasks I normally find tedious and overwhelming, I’m very concerned about the side affects. It definitely affects my sleep and food intake, but those are things I can live with since I was dealing with them before starting. I am more concerned about all the scary warnings about “excessive aging, heart problems, blood circulation issues, sudden death, etc” I’m also worried I’ll become dependent on it, and it’ll completely fuck up my brain and memory by the time I’m middle aged. Or that I’m gonna become dependent and I’ll have to suddenly stop because my insurance doesn’t cover it anymore or whatever, and I’ll have to deal with the withdrawals, or maybe turn to street drugs for a substitute like so many do, further fucking up my life and wasting my future. I am also SUPER self conscious about my skin, I’ve always had acne, not severe but very noticeable, and adderall makes me flare up, starting around my mouth and spreading to the rest of my face, making me look polkadotted. It sucks, I was just starting to get clear skin too. Any suggestions for another medication or method of controlling my symptoms with hopefully less serious side affects?? I could also use some coping mechanisms for anxiety, adderall makes me generally anxious, but on top of my marijuana dependency it’s just awful by the end of the day. I obviously can’t smoke while on my meds, so I just become an anxious mess, crying and shaking and dissociating.
