Help me out: An experiment

I got an 86. I'm a part time player. I have been diagnosed with ADD. I had a prescription for adderall that I got my junior year in college and had for a year. I stopped filling my prescription because i couldn't handle it at all. I was taking it 7 days a week when there was absolutely no need and it turned me in to a speed freak. Other peoples parents asked their kids (my roommates): What's wrong with James? So now if I need adderall for recreational purposes I go to my roommate who handles his prescription much better.

All that being said, if I am going to a casino for a long day or sitting down on a weekend to try to grind out over 100 sngs I will take an adderall and think nothing of playing for 8+ hours without a break. I know my play is infinitely better when I take it.

Let me know if anybody has anymore questions regarding any of this, I'm happy to share.

How old are you? Did the adderall help? Did you just make an appointment with a psych and get evaluated or something? How do you deal with this now? I have been thinking I am ADD for quite some time now, but things have always come very easily for me in school so I never did anything about it. Then I hit mid-junior year, classes were harder, and I lacked the discipline it took to get good grades, so I dropped my courseload and took some time off. I'm going back to school this semester and don't want to fk it up. Anything else you have to offer is appreciated. I am 23 as of yesterday.
