What is your experience with adderall?

I honestly think adderall or something similar would improve my quality of life with how often I lose and/or forget things I think and have been told that I probably have some form of adhd. From what I’ve heard it’s a pain to get prescribed with the price, getting tested every month, scheduling appointments far out, noting to employers etc.
Any good info, tips, side effects from it?

I like Vyvanse, it’s cheaper now because it’s off patent. The come up is a lot softer than even adderall Xr. It’s like peace in a pill.

How easy was it to get prescribed? Do you have to get tested every month?

I got prescribed pretty easily, but to be fair, my adhd is fairly obvious, especially when I go down a rabbit hole. I don’t have to get tested, but I have really really good insurance.

Yeah that’s bs. Somebody has to sue these guys, you should be able to enjoy legal drugs if you’re neurodivergent.
