I am beginning a daily adderall regiment for my ADHD (perscribed). I suppose that I was functioning without it and making OK grades, but I enjoy the enhanced mental performance and ability to finally focus on what I am doing. I am reading experience reports everywhere though and hearing very bad things about daily use of adderall (with sparse very, very positive reports), but most of these reports seem to be centered around people who keep upping the dose more and more until they finally burn out and go into a severe depression, with their skin cracking and lack of eating.

For me, when I have taken my meds (at least for now, 20mg XR), I do not get that lack of hunger, and my grades have gone up drammatically.

I just need to know what I need to do to prevent this from making me go out of control. I don't want to crash like I've seen others do. I dont want to use it recreationally, it just helps me SO much. Does anyone have any good advice, especially from experience?
