Yeah, I got it from my friends and then my roommate who were definitely not ADD or ADHD. It is incredibly easy to lie about it to the doctors and play up being a spaz in order to get a script for them if you wanted to. They sell for a decent amount of money and if you have insurance its basically just free money you get every month on the refill.The issue is that the prescribe them to everyone without much question. The reality is: people who actually legit have real ADD or ADHD, which is a much lower number of people than anyone might believe or that the statistics likely show, benefit from them. Because it calms them down for real and lets them focus. If you take a hyperactive or excited kid and stand them beside a kid who actually had real ADD, you will absolutely know which one is which. Only one of them needs meds though. For people who *dont* have ADD, those drugs are the equivalent of low grade meth.
And yes, for normal people it is literally low grade meth that has been accepted by society as "normal" to take/abuse. Vyvanse didn't fuck with me as much because the dosage was smaller and the effects were more spread out, but adderall was fucking awful. I took it one time when I had to pound out a 10 page paper in less than a day and it made me realize how awful those substances are.
Adderall made me extremely jittery and hyperfocused on whatever my brain thought was important at the time. I was sweating like I ran a marathon while I was on it, and was incredibly paranoid I was going to get arrested by the cops for taking it even though I never left my dorm room. After that paper I never took it again, but I still had cravings for more for around a month afterwards.
