Adderall Dependency

As someone with ADHD and a perscription to Adderall, I am curious to hear how many people out there are or know someone who has had issues with the medication? I have taken Adderall since I was a child and I'll be the first to admit that I am well aware of it's power and addictive nature. With a little honesty from the respondents, I think we could have ourselves a knowledgeable and interesting discussion?

I used to take it for my "ADD". I took it for a few months then back in September this year I stopped taking it. I had to and even though i didn't want to. I was getting insomnia every night I took it and the next day i would get 2 hours of sleep or less. yeah it helped keep me focused, no stress, and I had memory everyday. I loved all that but I hated that not much sleep and headaches cause of that. Also I had a extreme blood pressure one time, I only know it was high for two reasons. 1). I felt my heart some strange pain and couldn't talk very much. 2) I went to the store and tried one of the high blood test machines, and wow it was high. It freaked me out. that was the day I didn't take much cause I was afraid to get insomnia again. so it didn't give me any good reactions that day only bad. I got the high blood pressure cause I was stressing and on that medicine I learned stay happy and calm or else.

Adderall is great when you have a lot of school work to do. You just have to know how to control it.
