How long did it take you to become dependent?

Strip mall. :p
I was getting Adderall for my ADD and for the first few months I never took as much as prescribed or a few times with just as much. Fast forward 4 months, and I need it to function. I actually can do without it, but I choose not to I guess. So now I have to take it everyday or risk being lazy, lazier than I was at the beginning.
 
During college I got pretty dependent on Adderall in order to study for anything and everything. I'd say it took about 4 months as well. Now I've come to realize that in the end it does more harm than good and I lay off the shit because it really ends up fucking with the balance of your dopamine levels as well as heart rate. I suggest to make it your goal to start sleeping well and getting up early then immediately exercising because this really sent my brain into feeling great and natural again.
 
I never had a script for adderall, but I did my first line of meth and I didn't go to sleep for five years.

Its strange you say that, because that is what I do. I never got my 8 hours of sleep, but I get around 6-7. Afterwards I tell myself I should do 20 pushups or whatever, but maybe that isn't enough. My rationing is the following: I can do it better on the drug, so I will!

fryingsquirrel that sounds awful! Five years? Can you explain that a bit more?
 
I don't mean lterally of course, but yeah I pretty much did one line and didn't stop until I went to prison. It was really stupid, actually. I was dealing it and not doing any, and at some point the guy I was getting it from realized that, started cutting it, and i started to get complaints on the quality. So I decided to try a little, just to make sure it was straight...
 
I understand your rationing of being able to perform better on the drug, but I reached a point where I felt like Adderall was the steroids of the mind. It was a fix that sent my intelligence to places it hadn't been before, but I knew I could achieve this motivation just by working on changing my natural lifestyle.

I knew that taking Adderall was going to drain me of much desirable money and eventually cause inevitable neuro/cardiotoxicity that I would regret. If I had to be making these regrets one day I would be thinking, "Fuck, if only I just evaluated all of my options before going down such a long monotonous road."
 
Never been dependent on Adderall, but I'd say it took about a month of regular methamphetamine use before I was hooked on that. Fortunately I wasn't hooked after my very first hit, as many seem to be.

Probably because you didn't have an ounce of it in your pocket when you to that first hit. We've argued a bit over "meth withdrawls", but that it is as addictive as hell is beyond question.
 
^ Well yeah, my first hit was only a couple of puffs. :p

I didn't start ounces till about a year later, when I was actually cooking the stuff. Ounces are ridiculously expensive to buy over here.
 
I take Adderall everyday for my ADD, on occasion I'll abuse it but I don't know if I'd say I'm "dependent" to it. I depend upon on it to help my negative symptoms of ADD. I'll take breaks from it for a week and without I become impulsive, a short attention span, jumping from one thing to another and lazy but these are all symptoms of ADD. No real withdrawals. However I'm supposed to take it for my disorder.
 
Geography was one of the few classes I passed. Didn't know they had meth there, but I guess I never investigated it very thoroughly. Have heard people talk about the scene in Australia and mention prices that had me wonder if my currency converter was broken. Same there?
 
I bet its worst. Everything in Australia is fucking expensive, try to buy a video game there, if it ever gets there. I known people who still used dial-up in Aus.

Today I woke up lethenergetic as hell, got pissed off, took my magnesium and ate. Fell asleep and then woke up two hours later. It might have been JWH or something, because I kept sleeping for a few seconds and just napping and getting quick dreams. I slugged around the house sleeping in different beds until I decided to really wake up. I took my amps and everything is fine now. :( I'm addicted.
 
The greatest mathmatician of last century called Paul Erdos took Benzedrine and/or Ritalin for the last 25 years of his life !971-1996, til he died aged 86. He produced his most prodigious and volumeous work during this period. He took up a bet in 1978 to stop the pills for a month-he succeded but his work dropped to nothing. "i would look at a piece of paper and nothing would happen" he said, he collected his bet of $800 and continued taking the pills and was back to his interlectural best, working till he died.
 
All I ever do when I get tweaked is watch porn and take apart lawnmowers, glad it works for someone.
 
Oh yeah I love Erdos. Hes a symbol of how to do amphetamines right. Not sure about his personal life though.

He had no personal life-all he cared about was maths-ONLY MATHS.

^Thanks for that i needed a laugh^

My life is like a blank piece of paper if i don't take a mild psychostimulant. Not interested in meth or porn either, i'm prolly the only guy i know who doesn't search the net for it, I grew out of watching it when i was~20
 
Yeah, thats what I meant, it sucks to be dependent on your mom, and then when she dies you can't really even do your own socks or cook. Its a shame, but at least he contributed greatly to theoretical math.
