Need/abuse Adderall will switching change that?

[Tasteskinnie17]

ADHD, Adderall improved everything lifelong struggles distant memories. Then depression and insomnia entered so was taking it all weekend and so on and so. Once I start I can't stop until I've taken a certain amount then I can sleep. I'm afraid of psychosis or nothing at all. I just don't want go any deeper. I go to NA for support, I can pick up 2 weeks at a time from drugstore,but can't find informative comparison of alternatives to help make decision. Or testmonies of people who stopped abusing and resumed safe treatment

I have ADD and decided that, despite the initial laser-focus and energy, taking a stimulant over time had many more down sides than benefits. Depression, insomnia, dependence and habituating my brain to constantly need a stimulant did not seem worth an increase in productivity. Getting to know your brain, using changed habits to re-train it where possible and making sure your life fits your nature are all good things to explore.

^ great advice. Meditation can also be really helpful to 'train' the brain to cope with some amount of the boredom.
