Adderall

[*BlackFox]

Motivation shouldn't come from drugs.

QFT!

[Blindfire]

Adderall? Fuck that, it's all about NZT, SON.

Was that a free sample? I don't want the drugs, I want the usb stick.

I hope you get an absolutely shit score and your dreams of getting into anything other than a community college are shot.

Extremely mad, you are.

Not mad. I just think poor choices deserve poor results.

Do you feel the same way about caffeine laden drinks?

Do you feel the same way about caffeine laden drinks?

Not particularly. I enjoy a good Monster every once in a while. I just think it's dumb to take a prescription drug like that just to focus when you aren't prescribed it.

I'll take this occasion to express my hate towards the Monster "Juice" series. For **** sake, what a rip-off.

I can tell you never did good on the SAT...You are guessing that I am not prescribed, which is true atm. But I am going to the doctor to get a prescription, ADHD isn't very hard to fake. No one sells the pills at my high school anyways.

It's a bit late to ask for it now, isn't it? I mean any doctor who has the slightest insight in people will see through your charade.

You could also find a doctor (works even better when they're family) who'll prescribe regardless of your medical condition which makes it legal but doesn't change the fact that taking drugs to score higher on some test is a retarded plan.

[inky]

ADHD isn't very hard to fake? Lmfao. Well I can't say it's not typical of high school kids to get too cocky. How exactly are you planning to fake this - by randomly saying things like "oh, doc, that's a nice frame you have on the wall! Oh I'm sorry, my ADHD is kicking in. Ahhhh...I can't sit still! Oh I need some Adderall "? Do you actually think psychiatrists are just handed a license that easily? I'll give you a fair warning; don't do it. It's not really hard to spot a malingerer with a drug-seeking behavior. Any health care professional who had experience in mental health could sniff that out as soon as it rears its head. I had a patient before in a pediatric unit who could barely wait for his next dose of opioid med and kept asking me how to get prescription for the drugs so he can have them "just in case" he experiences pain in the future from his current injury...right. The body language, facial expression, tone of voice, choice of words, and an awkward confabulation would give you away.

Lol go score some weed like a regular high school druggie.

[Gnarly]

I'm going to get a pill or two before I take my SAT in October. I don't suggest you use adderall for just "anything" only for very important tests. It contains amphetamine which is suppose to be addictive.

I hope you get an absolutely shit score and your dreams of getting into anything other than a community college are shot.

No need to be so harsh, you don't know even know him on a personal level.

I actually did pretty well on the SAT and on the ASVAB. Both without any sort of medication to do so.

Getting a prescription to treat actual ADHD is different than getting a prescription to treat a faked ADHD so you can focus on tests better.

No list of contraindications when it concerns other meds he might take? You should do your homework better.

[*BlackFox]

^ Nah.. I don't think so. lulz

Obviously, Adderall is not a drug that should be tampered with. If you are prescribed Adderall by a doctor, be sure that he or she is reputable and understands your medical history and any medications you are currently taking. Also be sure that you never take more than the prescribed amount and that you following all dosing or use instructions carefully. If you are not prescribed Adderall, you should not take it. Whatever “positive” side effects you may feel occur, gambling with your life is simply not worth it.

Wanna know Moar?

I've spend the past 6 years learning more about medication. I think I'm fine xD.

I do have an Uncle who is a doctor. I know he would prescribe me if I asked, but its the awkwardness of asking that's the true problem. You're right about the doctors being able to see past people but you're giving them too much credit. Tons of people still fake ADD/ADHD to get a prescription.

I don't care if you think my plan is retarded, lots of people use adderall for both SATs and college exams. It's not like I'm just going to go in there, and score 400 points higher because I am taking adderall. I am the one studying to get my score up, I am putting in most of the hard work. The adderall is just to make sure I concentrate and stay wide awake.

Which brings me to another topic, why does the damn test have to be so early in the morning!!!

[inky]

Lol. The Adderall will not make you concentrate, that's more of a placebo effect college students who abuse it would swear by. If you don't have ADHD, you don't physiologically need it to concentrate. It's a CNS stimulant - it will make you feel euphoric and restless. Then again, you're not taking it so you can study hard; you're taking it because you're partially curious about it and at the same time, drawn to the hype. If you don't realize that yet or you're in deep in denial, I suggest some introspection. The same can be achieved without going through such lengths but hey, it's your life. Good luck on your SAT.

You are absolutely correct about the bold part. I'm not sure if its placebo or not, but I want to give it a try at the least to make sure I am not passing up on an opportunity. I also understand I can start putting more concentration into my reading, but that takes time and practice. I have 1 more month to prep for the SAT and I am already putting an hour or two a day on that, I really cba to put another hour on practicing how to stay concentrated. I probably wouldn't get that much better at concentrating in a month anyways.

[Ger_slayer]

Adderall is a drug, your using it, In my own opinion im 16 and in HS Junior like him... I wouldn't take it you can get in troulbe for it at school. A ticket and a shit load of trouble with your school isnt worth it.

Step 1: get a prescription

[the.unseen.]

I personally take Methylphenidate, it's pretty much a long lasting, less potent Ritalin. Though I have it prescribed and don't have it to abuse it like a lot of other people.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylphenidate

[TheDrop]

I thought ADHD medication made you get a boner all the time.

Or something

[EvGa]

For me, trying to fap while on any sort of stimulant is like trying to push a cooked noodle through a coffee straw. It just doesn't work.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylphenidate

No it's not, it's the same as Ritalin or at least the active substance is. The only thing that might be different, besides the name obviously, is the fact that methylphenidate can be presribed as a normal, a control-released or a sustained-released preparation.

Yea, I know it's the same but the form I am taking or at least the dose is different from the "normal" dose of Ritalin. I took "normal" Ritalin for 8 years and had to take it twice a day for it to last for a day of school, and the pill looks like a little circle. The one I am taking now is I guess a longer lasting, but smaller dose, so I guess you can call it a control-released dose, but I can tell you one thing the effect of the one which I am taking now differs greatly from the "normal" Ritalin.

[Barotix]

I drink a Monster while I study and during the test. You have to take the test in the same state you were in when you studied or you get a lower grade. Study while coked up on a stimulant? Take test while coked up on a stimulant. That's all Adderall is; a really strong stimulant. Drink some strong coffee or redbull/monster before you study, while you study, before the test, and during the test if you're really that concerned about scores. You'll be good. Just don't form a dependency.

[Mirosuke]

Yeah, at work, if I make double shifts, I'd just drink Monster or RedBull.

[Snazzi]

Lol, in Year 12 at my school (which is the last year at school before University), they push us to put in 3 hours of homework/study a night.

[penfold1992]

Well theres a difference between being unmotivated, unchallenged or have a "serious mental health problem like ADHD" and just being plain lazy...

Some people work hard for their grades even though ot may be boring. If school work is easy and ur not dumb then y arent u getting A's in everything already?
Studying helps a lot more then drugs do. No matter how alert your brain is you wont learn anything if you dont try to learn it.

Exactly. But hey, you might just be naturally smart, so there is no need for you to study hard.. oh wait.. You're not getting A's. If you wanted to put in 10 hours of study a night, you could. Same goes for everyone.. People claim they put in the hard yards when in fact they only go half the way.
