[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 679782, member: 1963"] Pigless, Adderal is amphetamine salts, so it is addictive, and yes, it does cause euphoria. It also temporarily gets rid of depression. The problem is that when the addicted user can't get more of it, the depression comes back way worse than before. That's part of the comedown I was referring to. Many psychiatrists these days won't prescribe Adderal if they can avoid it. by the way, the reaction your husband had to Adderal shows that he didn't need the drug. My husband tried Adderal when it first came out and it zombified him. When he needed a longer acting medication than Ritalin, he took Focalin, which is basically time-release Ritalin. He was so irritable due to dopamine receptor depletion (dopamine is the happy chemical) and because, after running on high doses of speed for several days, he just felt awful. Not sleeping, o not sleeping normally, not eating, not getting normal exercise or tending to hygiene. Lots of body pain from lactic acid build up and the like. So yeah, he was in comedown which is so miserable that speed users usually keep Seroquel or some sort of benzo (Valium, Xanax, etc) on hand to knock them out when coming down. The usual deal is to sleep for at least a day and then eat and drink every thing they can lay their hands on. [/QUOTE]
