Yikes. Stating flatly that you’ve decided to start on Adderall is worrisome. Something like saying you’ve decided on maintenance alcoholism later spiraling into binge blackouts. If you’ve only decided you’re interested in nootropics more generally, though, it could be healthy begin to learn about things you should have a solid working knowledge of before even privately considering making a lifestyle of it. There’s a world of resources around the hard stuff, but I think you maybe ought to back away from that. On balance, I don’t think you get something for nothing. It probably won’t do good, and can certainly do harm. If you’re still keen on what can be done with lower risk, look into citicoline Personally, I think DMAE is interesting, but baby steps, right? You’d have a lot to learn about the cholinergic system, and yourself, before looking at something with any potential of side effects. Right?
I've been worried about taking medication my whole life. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I exercise regularly and for years I tried holistic methods of dealing with ADHD. Trust me, I was and continue to be extremely worried about the addictive properties of the medication. However, I have no qualms about admitting I take Adderall. It was a very personal and painstaking decision that took me years to make. As the posting mentions, I read a lot about the pros and cons of medication and informed myself thoroughly on the issue. I can't tell you what a relief it has been. I enjoy being able to ignore small distractions so that I can get things done. For so long it has felt that I was rowing against a great sticky current which caused me to have great bouts of anxiety and depression. I suppose I could just take anti-depressants but my depression was caused by my feelings of uselessness. Currently, I am combining the use of medication with mindful meditation which also has been shown to improve focus. I don't know what the future will hold, but I can't deny that the medication has helped me tremendously.
