Just my opinion. I have ADD (very severe) and although Adderall was a Godsend beyond belief--after some time at moderate doses (30mg) I was burnt out and never responded again. I would get paranoia, heart palpitaions and typical side-effects. That's just me! Maybe I wasnt 'wired' in such a way that they would be good for me. However, some respond well without long-terms problems.One man's miracle may be anothers poision!
