Side effects - Skeptical

[Autumnsoath]

Swim has had a mostly good relationship with Adderall for the past 2-3 months, but has a few questions.

Swim guesses his post about Formication was too long for anyone to read (81 views but no replies ). Swims gonna keep it short this time, for real. 5 days ago Swim had a terrible night of formication for the first time in his life. That day, swim took an adderall in the morning, and an adderall at night. Friend who is swim's source argues the formication was not caused by the adderall because it was too low of a dose. Swim is confused because the itnernet agrees, only mentions formication in chronic use or overdosing. Swim thought it was maybe from the lack of sleep, but Swim gets more sleep then his friend who takes Adderall and has no issue. So swim has come to one conclusion, Malnutrition maybe? Swim can usually force himself to eat when on adderall, but the week prior to the formication experience swim was broke, and craved cigarettes more then food, so swim went the whole week eating maybe 4 meals. Could this be the cause?

The bug feeling went away after about 36hrs, and swim went 4 days without adderall and put the experience behind him, but now it is bugging swim again because Swim decided to take an adderall today (final day of training on the new job, test, etc), and the feeling came right back. Off one adderall. During those 4 days off Swim still did not eat much (wasnt home much and still couldnt afford to eat out). Swim got paid finally, so is gonna start eating normally again tomorrow as well as taking his multivitamins again. Do you think this will get rid of it?


Sorry, thats about as short as Swim can get it. Swim has another question though. If Swim can get rid of the bug feeling, swim will probably continue taking adderall. But Swim, while researching about his Formication experience, has read a lot of bad stuff about the drug. Swim wants to know if most of these horror stories are from users who begin upping their dosage and taking a large amount everyday. Because Swim has been taking it for past 3 months or so, 5-7 days a week, but only takes 1 20mg a day and still has no desire to go any higher or take anymore. While Swim admits that the drug does feel like a crutch sometimes, Swim figures if theres very little to no drawbacks then it doesnt bother him. Swim figured if people who are diagnosed with ADD can be prescribed it their entire life and have no problems, he wont have any issues either as long as sticks to a prescribed dose. Is Swim terribly mistaken? If so, Swim wants to quit now while hes ahead (kind of).

Thanks.
