Adderall/ritalin addiction

[joevette]

Are adderall and ritalin addictive like meth is? If so is it also addictive for kids with ADD? If so wouldn't that mean that kids would have to take more and more to get the desired effect?

Sorry, I can't answer your question...BUT, I was watching that there are people who do misuse their medication and that's how they get addicted...If you give your child medication, but make sure you watch the intake, then it should be fine...

Then along those same lines could you take a moderate dose of meth daily and then just quit without being addicted? Wouldn't that be about the same thing?

Okay, yes and no. Like I said before, it depends on the person. Seriously, what are your drug habits of the past? What have you done? Etc etc......


For example:Senior year of high school, I started smoking weed. I did it for a social thing. Then by the time I knew it, it was to fill a void, I had. Then I just smoked so much, I was just in bad shape. I cut classes, to smoke. I barely graduated. And it led to other drugs and I got into a lot of trouble. Anyways....


You can't do something every single day, and not think you won't get addicted. That's just being naive.


My advice to you, is try it ONCE....then if you like it, do it in 2 or 3 weeks. That's what someone on the forum told me, when I asked about Heroin.


This might work for you: try it once....key shot, thin line, a quickie from the pipe. Then if you like it, do it socially. The more you do it everyday, the more problems you have.


Seriously. I told myself "Once in a while.." "Once a day." "One gram." "3 grams." And you know what? After awhile, I didn't get high anymore? I had to do more and more, to even feel something. So think about it.

I haven't done much: alot of drinking, pot, muscle relaxants like soma, xanax. I'm ready for harder stuff, so that's why I'm here to learn about them first.

Like I said...Read and do as much research about it, before doing anything. Do it with people you can trust or alone (whatever you prefer)....and try not to do it everyday...
