    I hear Adderall is the shiz if you can find it. Ginko did nothing for me.

    I took Adderall in college before Exams...GREAT STUFF, just dont start playing a video game otherwise you will beat the game and not do your work.

    Ritalin is usualyl easlier to find...but its not as good as Adderall.

    Ritalin is what they give people who have ADHD. I live in Canada, and we do not have Adderall here. I have taken Ritalin before, it helped me relax if anything, didnt see any sides.

    But when I would have an exam coming, I took some Adderall and busted through the text book.

    Doctors prescribe it to shift worker's fairly often here in Texas, it is most often prescribed when workers are switching from a regular daytime shift to graveyard shift's....

    I agree 10,000%

    A lot of people don't know about Modafinil cause I think its new. But this is exactly what I would have mentioned, plus its way safer then some junk like adderal.

    If you're looking for adderal just drive to the ghetto and get some meth. Its the same exact chemical reaction happening in your brain, and you can reach a similar level of paranoid psychosis afterwards..

    it is, i use focalin for my ADD and it's great stuff, adderall, ritalin, focalin, etc.. are all amphetamine salts so be careful and yes a doc has to prescribe them as they are schedule 2 drugs i believe

    I tried that with my doctor and he said I definatly have ADHD.

    My teachers as a kid would send me to get tested but I never took anything for it because I was too proud, even as a kid.

    I've never taken even a pain killer.

    When I went to my doctor to get on something finally, because I was spending a ton of money on college and did not want to under perform, he decided he would not prescribe it anymore.

    He gave me lexapro instead. He went on to say that for the last 20 years, kids who have been depressed, have been miss diagnosed with ADD instead, and the symptoms are almost the exact same.

    But I think the Lexapro rep probably just bought him a vacation, or put some Pistons tickets in his pocket.

    a fellow michigan person i see. got a question, my gf takes adderal for her ADHD and she hates taking it but she pretty much has to cuase if she dont then she cant focus on ANYTHING. i know her body is pretty addicted to it by now shes been on for a long ass time, 8 years or more i think. would lexapro be a good substitute that would still help her?
