"while adderall definitely helped my add symptoms, the comedown was absolutely horrible. i was on 30mg per day (20mg ir in morning, 10mg ir 5hrs later). it made me finally able to focus, and stay organized for the 5 months i took it. however, as soon as it started wearing off, i turned into a real big jerk, and i even lost some friends because of it. i eventually discontinued it after having a mental breakdown, and due to several of my closest friends and family approaching me about how i was acting. i ended up switching to concerta and currently take 36mg per day. i find that it works 10 times better than adderall did for me. long story short, adderall, while definitely very effective at treating my symptoms, wasn&#039;t the right fit for me."
