Ive had Severe ADD for years Finally here a few years ago (age 30) I went to a doctor to see if there was any medicinal solution. It was really starting to effect me @ work .... even my boss told me that I reminded him of his son that had severe ADD.
The Doc prescribed me 40mg Of Adderall XR daily.
Let me tell you strait from the mouth of a SEVERE case of adult ADD/ADHD , that this medicine made quality of life go up 110% for me.
I remember the first time I took it........
25 minutes after it went "down the chute" I was at my kids school to pick them up waiting for the bell to ring. I noticed that I had gotten goose bumps all over my arms, my scalp, shoulders, face & neck .... all over really. Next thing I noticed was that my shoulder, neck & back muscles had relaxed.....
I remember YAWNING. Next came a very sharp clarity of thought followed by the ability to focus & prioritize everything that I was thinking about or looking at. I had a smile that wouldn't go away. It felt (to this day still does) as if it had enabled me to relax or calm down.
Normally this is a stressful & frustrating time for me (picking up kids) & I always dread this because all my wife's friends always want to walk over to me & talk to me & ask questions or chat....... now this wouldn't be such a bad thing IF THEY WEREN'T ALL TALKING TO ME AT ONCE. (Torture for a severe ADD)
BUT in this instance I could listen to , compute & respond in a sensible manor while simultaneously listening to the other 3 or four lady's telling me something or asking a question. Then I could respond to each & every one of them & ask questions back.
This might sound really silly to some of ya'll, but for me this medication really made all aspects of life better for me.
Just my two sense
Oh ..... and if you can make yourself eat good with Adderall XR...... a LOW dose of Test E + 40 to 60mgs of Var a day = ABSOLUTELY(make the girlys trip over lawn-chairs at the pool) RIPPED ..........
