Ritalin, dexedrine etc.

This type of stuff is obviously prescribed for people with ADD or ADHD. I read somewhere that says people with these conditions are often more creative (I forget the reason why) Now I might be getting a script for this stuff cause I guess my doctor feels I have this condition. My question for you guys is do any of you feel this stuff has a negative impact on your creativity when it comes to music or writing or whatever you guys do for fun???

as long as you take it as prescribed you should be fine, a vast majority of people who do get no negative side effects. however it is possible to experience depression, loss of appetite, and any other side effects you may get from any upper.

do some more research, and find out if it's right for you. as for the "creative" side effects the only way to find out is to try it... sorry.

I think your creativity will be somewhat affected because I believe that using amphetamines or ritalin relieves only the symptoms of ADHD (and especially the symptoms that irritate your environment) and creativity is in most cases a symptom of ADHD.

i would never take ridalin as an attempt to get high , ....i dont trust man made prescriptions, that shit can really fuck u up, this kid chris from my school smoked a bowl that was laced with a pinch of ridalin , and he fucking went crazy! needless to say he got suspended that day since he smoked during lunch break, and ripped up his papers wen he got back to class
