I started taking it in my late 30s for ADD and it was life changing. Over time though it was making me super angry so I stopped taking it. I now focus on sleep and exercise but my career really accelerated while I was taking it.


Same here. Super angry about some random guy wearing a blue sweater that I didn’t like for example. It made no sense to me why I was that angry, but it went away after quitting... I was seriously afraid to kill somebody if I would continue taking it.


I got like that on Ritalin & quit stims for 10 years.

After that 10, I tried amphetamine which blew holes in my persistent brain fog. I went on Adderall and (as we've often heard) it changed my life.

I'm not advocating you change a regimen that is obviously working for you. I'm just adding another possible plotline to that same story.


I was on prozac with adderall and I have uncontrollable anger. I immediately got off of it. The problem might be with adderall or the mixture (if you're taking other meds).
