[quote:Anonymous Coward 27792160:MV8yMDg2OTY3XzM1MTU0NzIwXzVFOTRBNDdF] [quote:pi 20063747:MV8yMDg2OTY3XzM1MTUzNjY2XzRGOEU5NkMx] ....sweet Jesus guys, these are drugs we're dealing with, not demons out of hell. I've been addicted to Adderall before (2 years), shame as it was a proper treatment: Doctors are just as afraid of the stuff as you all are, and I couldn't get the dose level that helped me. So I switched to Ritalin and while it is less effective, Doctors are actually willing to prescribe a proper dose. Amphetamines are not toxic unless the dose is very high. With racemic amphetamine that level is around 120mg a day. Even at this level, any toxicity is mitigated by antioxidant consumption. Amphetamines have decades of scientific research to support their use and safety. And by the way, ethyl alcohol and it's metabolites are more toxic than both amphetamine and methamphetamine. What if, God forbid, the medicine is actually helping, and your friend's suffering comes from elsewhere? A brain disease genotype, for example. Realistically addiction to stimulants is only psychological. Many people mistake proper use for "addiction". [/quote] I'm not on it, but thank you. I agree with most if not everything you said. Also, for the record, I love to keep things civil, though I don't think that GLP a family place. That is a scary thought. [/quote]
Original Message
I think my 50+ female friend is addicted to adderall. I know she was diagnosed as ADD about 7 or 8 years ago, and she ran a successful business.
Now she is having severe health and mental issues and has lost her business.
Anyone else familiar with this addiction?
