    First time I took amphetamines, it felt like a buzzing I’d had in my head all the time was suddenly gone and I could actually enjoy the quiet for the first time.
    It was so great that I swore never to take them again, cause I knew I’d want to take them every day and get addicted.

    10 years later I was diagnosed with ADHD. Turns out amphetamines just let me feel what it’s like without symptoms for the first time.
    Now I do take them daily (but at a much lower dosage).

      My kids are convinced I have ADD, and are probably right, but having used amphetamines recreationally and enjoyed them too much I am afraid of the meds. I told the one still at home to hide them when she asked if I wanted to try the Adderall.

      How is this going for you? I don’t feel addictive in general, but speed? Oh my that is some good stuff.

        I’m not addicted to the meds at all (recently went 2 months without, cause it would have been difficult to bring them to the country I was vacationing at)
        They don’t kick, after the first week I didn’t feel any effect at all anymore, except for weaker ADHD symptoms.
