Adderall is an amphetamine, but unlike meth it doesn't cause insane dopamine drops in the same way so it isn't as addictive. A lot of it is brain chemistry though, I can start/stop nicotine pretty easily and don't go through anything I recognize as withdrawal symptoms. That and whatever the original reason for using the drug was, if you used it medically vs recreationally. I never felt like I had more energy, just a slightly sharper focus where it was a little easier to get on track if I got distracted with another task.
Apparently a teacher wanted me on drugs in 1st or 2nd grade because I didn't sit still for her to read a book to us. Listening to someone read (even audiobooks) has always been an issue for me, I read so quickly I'd rather just do it myself than wait for someone to slowly read it out lol. No, I got on Adderall because like so many other people, I thought "Maybe the problem is me?" rather than "Maybe the problem is my job expects too much" because my issues at work didn't really change with the medication. Moved positions and I'm a lot better off, and don't need copedrugs to try to "do better."
