oswhid Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 This isn't a specific question but just something that occurred to me. My husband is currently eight months clean after eleven years of adderall use. I was reflecting on how adderall made him so contrary to the point of disagreeing with me about pretty everything even when I was certain that he would have agreed with me in the past. I also thought about how little support I got from telling people about what was going on. They would act sympathetic but almost always revealed that they knew someone whose "little Johnny" was on it. Then I started thinking that surely kids have the same side effects as adults in that it made them nasty, little a**holes. Which led to me wondering how many high energy kids get an adhd diagnosis and put on adderall, only to start acting defiant and then get diagnosed with ODD - oppositional defiant disorder. When I searched online it seem that a lot of kids had a dual diagnosis. I have no experience with children on this but I can't help but think this is an epidemic that isn't being addressed. Just one more reason this stuff is evil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adderolling Downhill Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I can identify with your husband. I can/used to be so miserable to my boyfriend of 5 years and when I reflect I know its adderall. Off it we are so happy together, on it it makes me miserable and I try to bring him into that without even being aware of what I am doing. I hate adderall, it is an evil selfish drug. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
