I can go w/o the Adderall. I don't like to because I don't think as clearly and I'm scattered, but I take days off here and there. With narcotics I worry that I wouldn't be able to stop. My dad was an alcoholic and that was so ugly.
Have you taken narcotics for anything? Did they give you a buzz? The Vicodin does give me a buzz if I take it for the leg pain. It doesn't if I take it for the migraines, I guess because my head is messed up already with the headache. I took a narcotic cough medicine last year, it made me feel awful.
