Age Limit

[quale]

What is the age limit they stop giving good shit for ADD?
Secondly would just buying meth bemore cost effective?

I dont think there is an actual "cut-off" age that they stop giving add/adhd meds... but its usually their late teens i'd assume...i know kids that are 19 and 20 that still take it though.
ADD/ADHD meds and meth are altho similar, very different. meth is MUCH better--but add/adhd meds will do in a pinch. i've never tried dexies, so i cant speak for those, but adderall and ritalin dont even compare to meth. i'll do them--but i'd rather have some meth.

When I was 7, my parents dragged me to an "ADD Specalist", and I was prescribed Desoxyn (Methamphetamine Hcl). This was, of course, in the eighties.
I've also been on Adderall, Cylert and Theophylline (although I forget if the last one was for the treatment of ADD or asma (can't spell it, so I'm using the spanish word...))
They stopped giving me shit for ADD when I was 15 and diagnosed Bipolar. I have taken dextroamphetamine recreationally, it's kind of "perkier" than meth, but not quite like methcathinone.

I'm 19 years old and I was just recently diagnosed with ADD so now I'm on Concerta and Ritalin.
There are many adults who take meds for their ADD/ADHD and there isn't any real age limit.
I don't think meth would be a good substitute for an ADD prescription, just in terms of purity alone. Major pharmaceutical company spending millions of dollars on research vs. your local meth lab? That's a no-brainer.
On a side note, these drugs are plain lame to try to use recreationally if the person does suffer from ADD. They do not have the same effect as they would for someone who doesn't suffer from it.

omg, HOW do you convince a friend that has this disorder to *stop* trying to abuse the meds when you're sure it doesnt work how they're intending it?? some people could really benefit from those "extra" pillz!! lol. i kno someone that will smoke like a quarter gram of glass after being up for two days and fall asleep 15 mins later--i'll be spun for the next few to several hours from that!
and yea, there are many adults that take add/adhd meds, but i dont think its incredibly common and that it'd take a while-esp. if you have NO background supporting this...among other things.

the only difference as far as effects beetween methamphetamine (NOT FUCKING METHCATHINONE) CAT is purely recreational and not recomended for add treatment, thats why its schedule I and methamphetamine, amphetamine and dextroamphetamine are schedule II meaning that they have accepted medical use) any way the difference beetween meth and adderall and dexies is the euphoria. meth causes MUCH MUCH more euphoria. also the side effects of taking large doses of meth are much less than large adderall doses. if you get very pure glass it might have some value for add and be cheaper but would you be able to keep yourself from take more than say 40 mg? and only use it orally ?
probably not. you could always go to mexico. desoxyns an easy score there.

I was recently talking to my doctor about ADD/ADHD, and i'm 18 years old. To answer your question, he said that he had recently diagnosed a 40 year old male with ADD or ADHD, and gave him a script for adderall.

I am well aware of the respective advantages and disadvantages of meth vs. adderall. I know adderall is fun. What I wanted to know is would it be reasonable to get a script when I am in my early 20's (purely a scam of course ).
Two is pharmacuetical adderal cheap...i.e. how much would I being paying per mg after insurance.

"There are many adults who take meds for their ADD/ADHD and there isn't any real age limit."
No kidding. Do you think they give no treatment to adults with ADD/ADHD? They are just less likely to get GOOD SHIT (Desoxyn, Adderall) and instead get worthless shit, at least to those seeking recreation, like Ritalin (OK, some people like it, but smoke some good meth and then compare)
And I do trust my local methlabs. I can go to the dealers around here and always get meth of good quality, and I can NEVER get Desoxyn. Millions of dollars of research don't matter that much either, in the end it's molecules of methamphetamine hydrochloride being vaporized, inhaled into my lungs, carried through my bloodstream, and into my brain. Meth is just cut with a bunch of shit (with perhaps a little bit of precursors left in it). If I could I'd use Desoxyn rather than the other stuff, but that will probably never happen because I don't have too much experience faking medical conditions, and I think my first would be a simple kidney-stone ER scam.. Plus, if I had Desoxyn I'd have to waste my valuable time to crunch up the pills to smoke them and smoking binders is pretty bad for your health too.

P.S. All Adderal is pharmaceutical. Amphetamine is sometimes pharmaceutical and sometimes from other places. All Adderal is amphetamine, but not all amphetamine is Adderal. Adderal is just a fancy corporation-friendly name. The word "adderal" doesn't put those images of punk rockers and sleepless nights in my head in quite the same was as the word "amphetamine".

I would have to say street meth is a better drug value, IMHO.
Well, according to Government Schedules:
1. MDMA has no therapeutic use
2. Marijuana has no medicinal value
3. GHB, although being a chemical present in the human body, is deadly poison
Personally, I think that methcathinone has limited recreational value, although it would be a kickass anti-depressant or weight loss drug. It also makes your fully licensed DEA lab (which no one should concoct the drug outside of) smell kinda like that grape drink they give to poor kids as a part of the school lunch program.

1) There is no "age-limit" but as you get older they tend to move you from the good drugs to the not-so-fun drugs...
2) Yes, meth on the street uis a better deal UNLESS you have a prescription with a low co-pay .. $5 for a bottle of 60 Adderall isn't a bad deal...
