Eli5 how Adderall works
In: 4188
I have and have had- at various times, on and off – a script for Adderall. 10-20mg, depending on era.
It’s function is very, very simple. You take the pill, and about 30min later, you’ve got a 2-5 hour window where shit is interesting – whatever you’re doing – and you can just focus like a madman and get shit done. Adderall turns the mundane in to a structured task you want to complete, and makes stuff as boring as Excel like a video game.
Over time it becomes a bit more dull, so you’ve got to demonstrate restraint, but if it works for you it WORKS.
Source – was a sad, 235lb guy who gamed too much as recently as Feb 2023. Got laid off, saw a doctor for Addy, and am now 190lbs, happy as a clam, and living in a clean living space instead of a house I hadn’t cleaned for a year.
Is it speed? Yes, it’s literal amphetamine in pure form. Is that a bad thing? Depends on the person. Adderall has turned my life around multiple times, and I can say with certainty that I’ve never been better off in life while not taking it. Some of us just need that spike in energy and interest, and Adderall exists for a reason.
I have a deep, deep set of family and friends around me who can tell what’s going on with me by the state of my appearance/weight, and condition of my home. All of them agree that Adderall is a godsend, even if they view it as a recreational drug for most. It’s the nudge over the finish line I need to be a healthy, functioning adult.
TL;DR – take addy, get motivation to do all of the shit you neglect that you know matters.
