I don't want to go too off-topic, but do you guys actually feel that you suffer from an affliction called "ADHD" or do just find that you have difficulty living according according to established schedules. I personally feel that, however it is my brain is wired, causes me to have off days and on days. So much so that I seem to lag behind "the group" - always. It just seems that certain norms confuse me.

The reason i ask is: when you say "I have ADHD," are you just using a common term to skip the redundant explanation or do you believe that you suffer from this "disorder" because your doctor has told you so? If its the latter, I don't think amphetamines are going to "cure" you. I just think its a crude but effective way of making your life less difficult - like booze for social phobia; a hell of alot more effective than paxil.

Your post is kind of a bummer because I was considering trying wellbutrin or one of those funny new drugs because amphetamines are becoming harder to get. Are you taking a high dose? I've heard some positive feedback, but only at really high doses.

If you are taking amphetamines to study, I've found this to be effective: remove all the distractions that you can (TV, noise, magazines, people) from your environment. Then put your work and front of you and SHAZAAM. You can pretty much focus on anything you want, but you can also get sidetracked and start focusing on other stuff for a long time. So, get rid of the distractions.

Anyway, bottom line on weight loss: it depends on your body and how you react. If you require larger doses, theres probably a greater chance of losing weight. And its more than just weightloss. All the extra brain-power really drains your whole system, so you really have to eat healthy; replenish everything. I dunno, maybe even take weight gainer.

Sorry for the long post, I know theyre boring to read. Blame it on speed.
