"i started taking adderall when i was 26 y/o and it was amazing for about 2 years. my dose started out at 30mg/day in the beginning and after 2 years was up to 60mg/day (30 mg ir twice daily). i started getting increasingly paranoid, losing, what seemed like, more and more sleep with each passing month. i kept thinking that i was seeing red and blue lights on my walls at night, which made me think the cops were after me outside. even though i didn&#039;t do anything that would require police assistance. until one day when i lost my mind, literally. i was taken by ambulance to the hospital and put on a 72 hour psychiatric hold for which i ended up staying at the hospital almost 2 week. diagnosed with amphetamine induced schizoaffective disorder!!!"
