"i&#039;ve been taking 60mg of adderall a day for 14 years now. it&#039;s a miracle! i don&#039;t think i would have made it through high school or college without it. i started when i was 14 and starting high school. i loathed getting up early, but shortly after taking my pills i was awake and motivated to get ready and go about my day. it made boring classes seem more interesting. it gives you this focus and drive to be productive.i don&#039;t feel like myself without them. i&#039;m cranky, unmotivated, eat and sleep a lot if i don&#039;t take it. just be cautious with dosage. you do develop a tolerance to it over time. if your blood pressure goes way up and you feel jittery or shaky, your taking too high of a mg. people should start with 10 or 20mg at first."
