Wow, I have ADD and I must say that was amazingly long. I think I went to the bathroom like 4 times!
I was a heroin addict for almost a year and can somewhat relate to your story... I think. After REALIZING what I was doing to myself I was finally able to quit. I've also had past experience abusing stimulants, methamphetamine namely. Amphetamine psychosis is no joke, and while you might be enjoying it now -- this all will catch up in the long run. Stimulants are much moreso addictive than opoids, and I am guessing you count down the time to the next dose. Dexedrine is much more potent than adderall, and I would highly recommend not seeking it. I hate to sound insulting, but I agree completely with Utopizen. Nobody means any harm in saying so, but that is honest advice. My recommendation is the same, I would seek professional help; there is absolutely no shame in doing so. Amphetamines have neurotoxic effects, especially at high doses. It is definately in your best interest to seek full drug rehabilitation. If you refuse to seek help, I would in the least recommend tapering the dose down as it would seem that you are plenty stimulated.
I find it difficult to fathom why any doctor would treat someone for a substance abuse problem, and simultaneously prescribe a Schedule II controlled substance to the same addict. In California (and probably other states) this is illegal.
Best Wishes
Matt
