First, a little back story: Through high school, I was an excellent student. I was always able to concentrate and focus quite strongly on everything I did, and was successful in my academic pursuits.
However, in my adult years, things have gone way downhill. There is no outside reason for such an occurrence (I haven't drank regularly in 2 years, and I smoke pot on average once a month) but I did a lot of research and took tests online and I seem to exhibit many symptoms of adult onset ADD.
It's gotten to the point where it's really messing up my life. I don't retain information like I should, and aside from not being able to properly do my job, I cannot even focus on things I enjoy such as reading or creating music.
I was prescribed Adderall in a once daily, 20 mg dose over the weekend. Today, I took my first pill. I have read about people's experiences on various websites, but seeing as how I am familiar with most of you, even if you don't like me, I'd like to hear any stories you all may have. I am curious as to whether any of you have taken Adderall or a similar drug, and whether or not it helped.
