Thanks for responding in a civil manner.
Dr. Bob really appreciates it when posters present a balancing point of view in a civil and respectful manner. Thanks, Nadezda and Scott for the following:
Well, I'm sure it is not just you alone.
It never seemed bizarre to me. I think one must be careful to not generalize to the majority what one as an individual experiences with treatment. It is possible to be angry at a drug for mistreating you, thus your wanting to take it away from people who need it.
Taking Adderall is a necessity for people for whom it works to improve their condition, whether it be ADD/ADHD or depression. Some people respond well to Adderall whom failed to respond to Dexedrine or Ritalin. Clinically, Adderall is useful and not nearly as addicting as cocaine.- Scott
You need to distinguish between medications that didn't help one or some people and medications that don't help anyone-- or, alternatively, medications that you had problems with and medications that everyone has problems with.
I wouldn't make a useful med unavailable to everyone because some people have problems with it.
I've used adderall for several years and it's been of great help to me. I'm sure, from reading this board, that I"m not the only person who has.Nadezda
