"add is not a made up condition. i&#039;m 26.  without adderall/vyvanse, i have no mental energy or focus to do anything. and it has been this way my entire life. school has gone from being an f and d student to being an a and b student. it has nothing to do with &quot;being lazy&quot; and everything to do with having a real chemical imbalance in the brain. anyways, have been full time for 2 years until 7 weeks ago i convinced myself it wasn&#039;t working anymore and i didn&#039;t need it. big mistake! i am ready to start up again next week. i can feel the old me come back, the me i hated. if you truly have add/adhd, this will change your life for the better. 

some negatives are sleeping less, decreased apatite, and often weak erections on it (despite high libido)"
