<p>(ok im obsessed with this website to an unhealthy degree, just FYI, but that is not the point here)</p>
<p>I'm prescribed adderall and have been since freshmen year. around here pretty much anyone can get prescribed but mine is legit because i actually have add and adderall helps me out a lot. seriously i think about half my school has taken it (without a prescription) or is on it...its insane. is this true at other schools??</p>
<p>also, i plan to take it in college but even know i'm a little worried about the side effects and the future side effects, like am i doing any long-term damage? i feel like i really need it, it gives me energy and helps me focus, but i'm afraid im becoming dependent on it or something because without it i have no energy! am i just being paranoid? have other ppl had similar experiences?? please let me know!!</p>
<p>no, she didnt. i've asked her if its bad and she says its not but if i think its having a bad effect i can go off it. generally i think the positives definitely outweigh the negatives so i dont want to complain to her about it, and i want to keep taking it.
i was just seeing if anyone had similar situations, whether at school where everyone seems to be on it (some girls go on just to lose weight..) or whether people are on it themselves and what their experiences have been.</p>
<p>It is very much an upper. It contains amphetamines. Yes, you can get addicted to it. It can cause sleeplessness and things that go along with that.</p>
