I've made decent grades all the way to 6th grade.. But year after year i've started to slip and made some c's and low b's(which I consider bad expecially since I was also cheating a copying work off my friends) but later on I started to notice that I can never stop daydreaming.. No mater what even when I try to pay attention my mind easily gets distracted on somthing else and I start thinking about a million other things that I shouln't be even worrying about.. One day I was talking to my friend and while he was talking to me I looked away and I guess I started to pay attention to something else and he tryed getting my attention and asked, "do you have add or something?" I never even heard of add until he mention it too me but I went on another year not really caring about it. Last year I finally got fed up with it and friends and family always saying i'm so lazy and I don't try. Finals was coming up and I couldn't study. I knew a friend who took adderall even though he didn't need them, at that time I really wanted to take it to help me study i've never once thought of taking them just to get high and I still don't but finally I got a hold of some. He said they were 50mg and I took one. At first I didn't feel anything and really I wasn't even expecting it would actaully do anything but an hour later the sides of my head had a slight tingling and I started acting wierd.. I wasn't pay attention right at first but more confused of the wierd feeling. The bell rang and I started walking to my next period. During that period the teacher handed out a worksheet which usually I would just look at it for awile or work the first few problems and quit but with the adderall in me I was flipping through pages doing my own work! I noticed that with adderall I become more socialble, I started having conversation with people I barely even talked too. I also noticed that my heart was beating fast. The rest of the day at school I just felt so happy, happy that I accomplished all the school work and pay attentioned and happy because I guess the adderall was making me feel that way. When time came for me to go to bed I layed down and so many thoughts were rushing through my head and my heart was still beating kind of fast so I couln't sleep at all that night. Throuout the night I was tossing in turning but no matter what I couldn't fall asleep. I could feel my heart pounding and thoughts were still rushing through my head.. It was a horrible night.
And thats how my first expierence with adderall went.

Later on through that school year I think i've taken 3 more adderal pills for finals. Even though it gave me happy feelings at some times i've never once felt addicted to it and only wanted more so I could prepare for finals not to be happy or get high(which I don't see how people say they can get high off adderal? People say they twitch and talk all fast but i've never experienced twitching or anything)

this year I finally decided to talk my dad into getting prescribed adderall.. And I got it about 2 days ago.. The doctor gave me adderall xr(15mg) I take one in the morning after breakfast.. The effects of it was not as strong as the one my friend gave me but it did the job and helped me focus and pay attention in class. For some reason these pills didn't give me a happy feeling.. Just more of a "i dont care" feeling but it still made more sociable.. I even think its actaully making me feel a lil depressed but it could also be the headaches that ive had this year(which is in another thread I posted on in the headache and migraine section) anyways sorry for the long post but I just kinda wanted to share my experiences with it andi have some questions.

If I end up having to use adderall for awile will it eventually wear off and I have to increase my dosage? I'm worried about that because i'm afraid I might get addicted and depended on it in the future.

I've been having fast heart beat, I searched it on google and saw that it was on rare symptoms so im guessing this isn't a good or normal symptom.

I'm sorry for my spelling and grammar. English was not my best subject lol
