> A) I thought there was supposed to be a lesser chance of addiction problems with Adderall? B) I'm not sure I understand how someone abuses their meds. If the doc prescribes 30 pills for 30 days and you don't get more until 30 days are up, then how does one use meds abusively? (Sorry if this seems really dumb, but you can only drop your pills in the toilet or sink so many times, right?)
Someone might get compulsive, use up their script in five days, then crash and have to wait 25 more days for a refill. Who knows, then they might figure, hell, they've already relapsed, why not call up that old buddy, get some coke, party it up, etc. I mean, once that old craving is reawakened, god knows what an addict might do. At least that's the way *I* am. I know for me, a script for desoxyn, for example, would be the end of me.
