So,, I was diagnosed with ADD by my most recent psychiatrist and I kind of deep down don't think I have ADD.
My doctor prescribed me some adderall and I have been taking it on and off for about a year. Now let me say, without adderall it seems as though I am not stimulated by anything. It is almost impossible to read and enjoy reading, or really do anything without adderall. Every so often my mind will start telling me that I should feel guilty for taking these stimulants and I don't need them or that I am doing harm to myself by taking them. I will discontinue use of the stimulants and try to function without them but I always end up not wanting to get out of bed and dread rather simple tasks even much more then say if I decided to take adderall.
Anyway, the question I am posing is, if Adderall actually helped you somewhat even if you thought you might not have add would you take it?
Do you think I should stop taking it?
I am almost kind of scared to give it up, Ive stopped taking it for 3 months so I know I am not addicted to it. I just ask this because my doctor will write me a script in a few days when I go visit him.
Is it all mind over matter? Can I actually perform without these stimulants even though it seems that I can't?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
