I don't have ADD but am prescribed 20mg of Adderall daily in the slow release tablets. I actually kinda have the opposite of ADD and am very lethargic and sleep alot and the Adderall helps to keep me awake (even though I still take naps when I'am on it!) But I have noticed Obbessive Complusive Tendencies like constantly pulling out body hair and even once pulling my own toenails off, because I was bored!
But I asked a therapist what would cause ADD in a person. She said people who have ADD or ADHD have a smaller frontal lobe than those who don't. And Adderall or Ritalin calms those people down or can make them zombie like. While people without ADD get hyper while using Adderall.
Also it is good to know if the medication you are on is giving you weird side effects, IT'S NOT WORKING!!!! Tell your doctor and what side effects it is giving you. There are alot of medicatins out there to try, different meds. effect people differently! You want the med. to make you feel better, not add new problems.
New medications also take about a month to absorb into your system and take action, so it is not good to switch meds. every week.
