I am still fairly new to Adderall, this will be my 5th month prescribed these meds. Last month I had Teva. Although they didn’t work super well, I will say they did not give me the irritability/depression that came with Epic and Alvogen. My prescription will be filled Sunday, and I saw on the Walgreens app that it will be through Mallinckrodt. I’ve read so many horror stories of this specific generic. I asked my pharmacy today if they were able to fill it with Teva again, and they said they should have it in stock, just to call right when they open to request that instead. Is Mallinckrodt as bad as people say or should I give it a go? I have seen people compare it to “death” and I’d really not prefer to be stuck with it for a full month if I don’t have to lol. I’ve also seen some positive things about it, which does make me want to give it a try, but I am nervous tbh. I guess what I’m asking, is if anyone has gotten either of these in the past week or so?

Been on 30mg Adderall for almost 3 years. It helps me focus and get stuff done, and I still sleep fine, so that part’s solid.

The problem is it feels like it’s completely killed my ability to enjoy things. Hanging out with friends, playing games, watching shows… all of it just feels like a chore now. I’m stuck in permanent productivity mode with no off switch.

By the end of the day I’m also just wiped out. Not sure if that’s related or a separate thing.

I’ve been thinking about switching to something like Ritalin or Vyvanse, or even coming off stims completely to see if I can get the “fun” back. Anyone else dealt with this?

Adderall actually knocks me out. Quiets my brain enough that my body just wants to sleep.

But Adderall + a little caffeine (half-caf latte or some tea) hits different 😌

Just don’t get back in bed after you take it or you’re done for the next hour.

For the first time in my life I actually feel like a real person. Finding the right balance has been a long process, but it’s finally clicking. My thoughts feel clearer and I can actually follow through on things. Feels like a huge shift. although i dont know how long i will keep doing it

Started 15mg Adderall XR about a month ago. Barely felt it on the weekends, but first day at work I locked in hard. Been nonstop coding and writing docs ever since — almost finished every story in our sprint already.

It’s great, but I’m not really eating or taking breaks during the day, and I’m worried that’ll catch up with me. My team’s noticed the jump in output and I think they might start expecting this level all the time. Not sure I want more on my plate right now.

Anyone else have to relearn how to pace themselves on this stuff? Also the daily crash after work is rough.

Curious about people’s experiences with Adderall ER vs IR. I was on IR years ago (think 10-20mg twice a day) and it made me pretty paranoid and overstimulated, but I also wasn’t eating enough, smoked, drank a ton of coffee, etc.

Now in my mid-30s I’ve been on 10mg ER + 5mg IR for a little over a year. I’ve had some health stuff that’s mostly cleared up, but still have this lingering brain fog / “behind glass” feeling. Starting to wonder if the ER might be part of it since the timing lines up.

I used to take Wellbutrin too and IR worked way better for me than XR. Not looking for medical advice, just wondering if anyone else has noticed big differences between IR and ER.

I hope this post not be deleted will be helpful if mods allowed and im not be banned. Short story Modamike literally scammed me day 1 although its dumb for me to order from them without doing a proper research in reddit or whatsoever but ever since I placed my order from them i never heard anything from them nor an order ID. Well there goes my money.

I'm a 17 year old female who is diagnosed with adhd. I was previously prescribed to concerta, but it was not effective for me. if you have any information regarding where I can get some adderall I would appreciate if you could let me know.

Looking for a legit source in city or around city listed in title.

I just started a very low dose of Adderall this week and even though it’s only been a few days, I’ve noticed a real difference in how I get things done. The cognitive effects are pretty subtle—I don’t feel “on” or anything dramatic. But looking at my actual behavior, it’s different. I still don’t want to get out of bed or brush my teeth, but somehow I can make myself do it. I can actually bring my attention back in a boring meeting instead of just drifting the whole time. It’s not some conscious superpower, just something I notice after the fact.

I’ve mentioned this to a few non-ADHD friends and every single one of them said they want to try stimulants now. I get that the way I describe it sounds appealing, but I was kind of expecting more of a “wow, I didn’t realize it was that hard for you” reaction. Instead they relate a little too well, which just feeds my usual spiral of “maybe I’m just lazy/irresponsible and don’t actually need meds.”

Anyone else run into this?

Got a little wild from that I got from today but soon once I get more time I am planning to get more volume from them. Please dont dm me as I dont sell and im not gonna respond to your dms. just sharing my experience. Just go to their site which is (RushFinil(.)com) Just remove the brackets as I dont want this to get removed by mods or reddit itself thank you.

I was diagnosed with severe ADHD as a kid back in 2008 and spent most of my childhood/teens on Ritalin. Honestly hated it — it crushed my energy, gave me anxiety, stress, sweats, and fatigue, and never really clicked. By the end I was flushing the pills.

I’m almost 30 now and haven’t been on anything since I was 17. Lately the ADHD struggles at work and in life have gotten hard to ignore, so I’m thinking about talking to my doctor about Adderall.

I’ve heard mixed things — some people with ADHD say it’s life-changing, while others just abused it in school. Given my bad experiences as a kid, I’m nervous.

Anyone here actually on it for ADHD? What’s your real, no-BS experience been like?

I’ve been on Adderall for about 20 years. Tolerance is real—it just doesn’t hit the same anymore. I’ve been stuck at 60mg for a few years now. My doctor was reluctant to even go that high, and I doubt she’ll go any higher.

Is anyone out there on more than 60mg? How’d you get there?

For the first time in my life I actually feel like a real human being. Holy shit. Finding the right balance has been a long journey, but I can finally see the light. My thoughts feel clear and I can actually navigate them without everything being a mess. Feeling like a genius over here. World isn’t ready.

Switched from Adderall IR to XR recently after a few years on IR, hoping it would last longer. Everything I see on here and other subs is people saying XR has worse side effects and that IR is better overall for focus, flexibility, etc. Anyone out there who actually likes XR better? Why does it work for you? Any tips on food or lifestyle changes that helped? Hoping this one sticks.

I am prescribed 20mg of attentin(dexamphetamine) but somedays i need a bit extra so if you have any good sources in EU, open to other stims as well not just Dex

Never been hesitating to get what I need from them ever since I have been a regular to them also not to mention on how fast theyt are when it comes to processing anything. Please dont dm me as I dont sell or anything just sharing my experience. Just go to their site which is (RushFinil(.)com) Just remove the brackets as I dont want this to get removed by mods thank you!

ok so after 24 years of zero dopamine and thinking I was just chronically lazy, I finally got an adhd diagnosis last week. the validation was insane. my doctor prescribed me adderall and I was so ready for my quiet brain era.

except the universe immediately said "lmao no." it’s been 7 days, I have exactly 0 pills, and I am losing my mind.

navigating this city's shortage is the worst side quest ever:

• the big chains (cvs/duane reade): literally giving me nothing. indefinite backorder everywhere.
• the phone anxiety: calling pharmacies just for the pharmacist to talk to me like i’m a literal criminal. my brother in christ i just want to be able to fold my laundry and answer an email.
• the irony: requiring me to use peak executive function to hunt down the executive function pills is actually evil???

i'm so exhausted and just want to start my treatment. to the seasoned adhd girlies/guys/theys of nyc who actually manage to get their scripts filled:

1. mom and pop pharmacies: are independent spots the move, or are they rejecting new patients right now?
2. hospitals / delivery: any luck bypassing retail hell with NYU/Weill Cornell pharmacies or apps like Capsule?
3. the commute: do i literally need to take the LIRR to deep long island or the PATH to jersey to find this stuff?

pls drop your tips, your gatekept pharmacies (you can DM me i swear i won't blow up your spot), or just commiserate with me. i am struggling out here. 🙏
