    so i took one 20 mg adderall the other day while studying for a test with my friend... that night i got SLAMMED with depression and anxiety which still hasn't let up yet (2-3 days later)... i have never been diagnosed as depressed but it is not a new thing to me. is there really any reason for me to believe that the adderall had anything to do with this basically manic case?!

    Depression could follow an amphetamine binge, but shouldn't follow a single 20mg dose. I don't think the two are related. In fact, amphetamines are prescribed to terminal cancer and AIDS patients to combat depression.

    some drugs bring psychological problems to the surface you may have already had but not known about

    Most people will become depressed after taking any amp or meth drug... After MDMA I'm usually down for a few days... You just have to expect it, although I find that preloading with 5-HTP and taking some on the come down helps considerably.

    that's never happened to me with just 20 mg. one time i took almost a 100 mg of adderall throughout a day and i was pretty depressed because i couldn't sleep for almost too days and felt like shit.

    Yeah... adderall is not something to toy with. Even though you may feel like you can handle it, 20mgs can be a lot to someone who hasn't ever done it I'm sure. When my friend first got me to try adderall (and he was the only person who could, RIP), he gave me a 60mg pill to crush up and rail. That shit had me soaring on top of all the weed we had to sell/smoke. I lost about a qp to him and myself that weekend, but it was one helluva trip to the beach! :)

    About a year later I was perscribed adderall for ADD and even though I abused it a few times when I first got it, I soon realized that there was a very negative side to the positive effects that you first get. Yeah, you get a rush and you'll stay up, but the rush doesn't stop and you'll wish you were asleep rather than deal with the mad anxiety that may cause the depression during the comedown. Being depressed, jacked up, and paranoid is no way to have fun in my opinion. Now I've been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder (which they believe I've had for years... in fact it's probably highly related who why I have trouble with paying attention) and take it from me, waking up at 4 in the morning crying for no reason and feeling like shit every waking hour is far from worth whatever positive effect adderall may provide.

    I'm all for having fun and I won't say that at first I didn't have fun, but as you keep doing it, the more it seems to expose it's negative side until there's basically no positive side left. If you're like me, it'll fuck with you legs (shin splints), your hands will shake like hell, you may have difficulty breathing, you'll be up all night obsessing about how to fix every little problem in your life, your muscles will be sore, you'll become irratable and impatient, and you'll never be satisfied with anything until you hit rock bottom and have to pull yourself off the floor. It's a shitty road to take if you're lookin for a good time, but that's just what I have experienced. You make your own choices in your life! :)

    Peace
