      I take adhd meds and have major medication resistant depressive episodes. They can totally affect my mood and exaggerate it almost. Like if I’m upset I’ll be really upset or sad and I’ll be devastated. It’s hella slow my brain down and get thins done but does not help with moods at all. A lot of people experience anger as a side effect of amphetamines.

      damn, that could explain it. I've been feeling more lonely and aimless overall, maybe it's exacerbating it... I also believe it's making my addictive tendencies worse like I've been smoking like a chimney; before today I was down to half a pack. I'm really hoping it's temporary. I'm my third day into the 20mg from 10mg and I'm hoping by the end of the week this stops because for so long I've been dying to see some changes to my ADHD symptoms.

        @Medixated Adderall? I took two yesterday as prescribed (20mg each) and I was up until 4am. Naturally I sleep 11-12 hours a night... I'm definitely not going to be taking two anymore but anyway that can't be right
