    You just keep showing your ignorance. Adderall is suppossed to be taken daily. Unless of course you're referring to people that aren't actually prescribed it which just goes back to point that they shouldn't be taking it to begin with.

    It never ceases to suprise me how people can be so willing to put a substance into their body when they're so clueless. How does it feel to step across the line into degeneracy? Thank you for representing online poker players so proudly.

    Quit self medicating and go se a doctor. It seriously sounds like you might have a health issue that your trying to help with the Adderall. If so, the adderall likely isn't doing anything other then temporarily mask the symptoms.
    Chill the fuck out dude, and for fucks sake take a step back and quit judging people who you flat out don't know. Who do you think you are man, some kind of fucking saint? You're just a med student with a big ego, that's it.

    I've read a lot of things that have said taking it every day will be bad for you, as opposed to taking it a few times a week or less. That's why I said that it's probably best to lay off for a day or two. Unless you're saying that it's somehow better for me to take it every single day as opposed to every other day or so.

    I was trying to be level with you earlier, but you can't seem to help yourself but degrade me in every post you make. If you want to hold a civilized debate or a friendly argument, perhaps you should look at the tone of your posts to see you're being a total asshole. Honestly, reread what you just wrote. Pretend you're somebody who actually "needs" help. How fucking turned off would you be reading that?

    FFS, you remind me of the Westboro Baptist Church with your message tactics. Yell and scream at the people who you think you're helping to the point where they shut you out completely and have no chance of "helping" them any longer.

Not to mention the several people who have openly and plainly stated that they enjoy marijuana.

    I abuse prescription drugs? That's good to know. Glad I know now.
    So do you have a prescription yet, or are you still abusing prescription drugs?
    Stop with this abusing prescription drugs bs. You make it sound like I'm taking 10 at a time, when in reality I've taken two 15 milligram pills. I'm aware that I'm technically abusing them, as I have no prescription. But I think you could use a better choice of words, otherwise you make it sound like I'm some pill-popping degenerate who is out of control ODing on adderall.

    I haven't weighed in yet so here's my two cents.

    Your a fucking MORON. Stop reading the sites that tell you what the drug can help you with and start reading the sites that tell you what they can fuck up.

    Do not compare yourself to a person smoking pot when taking someone else's prescription drugs. It's not even close. I hope you have talked to a pharmacist and made sure that nothing else you are taking or eating or breathing is going to have any reactions with this medication. And you better hope that nothing happens to you that you can't tell the nurse or doctor what you've been taking, because if they pump you full of something and you have a reaction they will in no way have any record of you taking these drugs.

    GL stupid.

    himself fucker.
    Sorry. I've been pretty inactive recently since my day life has been so busy with just VT shit. I've read through the thread and it's got some testy posts and angry comments but I stand by my lazy-fair (lol typo on purpose!!!) policy with the commune. So long as it doesnt degrade into a full out bitch fight, there's good discussion here on people who want to take drugs and the reasons why they shouldn't self-medicate (or should). I know I've personally fallen on both sides of the argument so I'll open it up again for a few days and revaluate on thursday or friday.

    adderall really isnt anything special, I mean good for studying, probably bad for you, not particularly fun, some risk of addiction/dependence blah blah blah... waaay more fun in this thread than from taking adderall.

    We dont care if you want to illegally take drugs. Really, really don't care. Rip it up dude, get fucked up, your the master of your domain.

    Here's the thing - YOU CAN GET A PRESCRIPTION FOR THIS SHIT THAT MAKES IT TOTALLY LEGAL TO TAKE AND, AND, AAAANNNDDD PROPERLY DOSED OUT FOR YOU BY A PROFESSIONAL.

    We arent saying dont take it. Well, Iowa is, but iowa says all sorts of crazy shit. We dont care if you take it. We just want you to be safe about it and to go see a fucking doctor, and somehow we're assholes for making this suggestion.

    It makes me think theres something *way* deeper than just being unfocused and unable to concentrate...

    I could really care less if I do it "legally." Obviously safety is very important, but stop overreacting. The adderall is all the same, it just comes in different dosages. I'm taking way too small of dosages at this point for it be any more harmful than if I were using adderall from my own prescription. Do you think because that the adderall is going to become loads safer because it's prescribed for me?

    It's obvious your intentions are sound here, but think about what you're saying.

    The difference is the people using those drugs arent saying they need them. When I go out and get wasted it isnt good for me. I acknowledge that but Im willing to accept it because its fun. I dont tell myself it's good for me or I cant function without it.
    Adderall is a drug that certain people are "supposed" to use because its "good" for them. Its been said over and over in this thread but noone really cares what the OP does with this, or any other drug. However the friendly advice would be to go and see a doctor if you actually think you have a problem, and if you dont actually think you have a problem then at least admit it to yourself.

    Sorry Euph. Totally wrong on that. Got mistaken because it was so long ago and the other guy had a long-ish name that was all lower-case too.

    Fair enough. I acknowledge there is a difference - I just think we shoulda kinda let this go by now, he is obv. gonna do it anyway....

    Then again, this forum hasn't had any drama in a lil while, maybe this kind of thread was bound to happen .

    How do you know #1 that's really adderall that you're taking and #2 what dosage that you are taking? Because the adderall dealer said so or it's carved out on the pill doesn't cut it.

    When you go to the doctor and get prescribed adderall and then go to the drug store and the pharmacist hands the medication over to you in the nice white bag, you can know for sure it's the real thing.

    Hey, give him a break people. He's young and dumb and he will learn from this one day. Let him experiment and have fun. But let this be a warning, that when you take a pill that you think is adderall but it is actually the brown acid, don't be crying to all of us because you think that you turned into tall glass of orange juice.

    I don't need you or anyone else in the forums to validate my intelligence, my penis size, my looks, my ability to play poker, etc. I'm sorry if you don't like my tone. You're not special though. I take the same tone with everyone. Most people are mature enough to focus on the message rather than the fact that it's not sugar coated.


    I do think you reflect poorly on online poker players. If you refuse to admit that self-medicating with prescription drugs is abusive we can't even debate that. I think that most people examining the case of someone abusing a substance for the purpose of playing online poker would view that person as a degenerate. A baseball player taking steroids or other performance enhancing drugs puts the sport of baseball in a bad light. I don't view what you're doing as much different.


    I take responsibilty for my actions. I'm very opinionated which be obnoxious to some people to the point that they think I'm an asshole. I know who I am and I have no problem admitting it. I'm aware of how it makes me look and how people may perceive me. I acknowledge my faults. I have a ton of them. I'm not perfect in any sense of the word, but I take responsibility for who I am and how I act.

    Do I think I'm being unreasonable? Absolutely not. You (somewhat) admit that you're abusing Adderall. The difference between us though is that you try to justify it. You're right that many people take it without a prescription but you fail to realize that your attitude and justifications are the primary reason for it. You're trying to blur the boundary between what is abuse and what isn't. I'll agree with you that by taking Adderall occassionally you probably won't suffer any serious side effects. The problem though is that when the boundary between what constitutes abuse and what doesn't gets continually pushed back the potential for very serious problems becomes greater and greater. You're looking at the situation as only it affects you. I'm looking at situation from a broader view and the additive affect you have on it.

    I think I'm a very reasonable person. I believe in making exceptions and giving people a second chance when appropriate. The problem is that so many people think they should be the exception. So many people are taking Adderall without a perscription that you view them as the standard of what is acceptable.


    Society needs rules and it needs regulations for the protection of the individual and the protection of the populace. I'm no saint. I speed. I drank underage. I have done plenty of others things as well. I don't honestly expect everyone to be perfect. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people to take responsibilty for their actions though.

    I know I shouldn't speed, so when I do I am making a conscious decision to break the law. If I get pulled over I really have no excuse. The fact that so many other people exceed the speed limit is irrelevant. I obviously wouldn't be happy about getting a ticket but that is a consequence of my actions. If I wasn't prepared to accept the responsibilty of my actions then I'd seriously question why I even considered doing it in the first place.

    I'm not holding you to a different standard than I hold myself or anyone else. Do what you want but take responsility for it and lose the stupid justifications.


    I don't think my analogies were poor. You are going to people for advice that is outside of their realm of expertiece. Yes, those people can tell you how Adderall made them feel. I have never questioned the intended affects of Adderall though. You're trying to debate me on something I'm sure we both agree on. I'm debating the safety of taking it and someone other than a healthcare professional isn't qualified to answer those questions. From now on address the safety and social implications of what you're doing because that's what I'm debating.


    The problem is that you didn't just ask others for their opinion. You asked at least one person for the drug as well. You're right that there is a big difference. It doesn't matter if you planned to talk to a doctor if you went ahead and started taking Adderall before then. It's just another meaningless justification.


    You're orginal post stated that you wanted it for the purposes of playing online poker, not for the appropriate medical indications. That is abuse. You fail to recongize that though.

    I'm sorry, but I don't really know what to say to this. I have zero doubts that what I'm taking is actually adderall, or what the dosage is. I got it from a good friend of mine, not from some random kid in college who is looking to make a couple extra bucks.

    Even if people are mature enough as you put it, to focus on the message, with your tactics people are still going to be put off, no matter how you look at it. If you don't care, then that's too bad. I wasn't asking you to sugarcoat anything, just don't judge me.

    I already admitted before that I was abusing prescription drugs in the literal by the book sense. But I don't have a dirty consciense about it, nor should I (just for reference, if I had been abusing cocaine I would feel terrible about it).

    And that's another meh analogy. I'm not getting any better at poker by taking adderall, and online poker sites do not prohibit the use of adderall. Steroids do help baseball players and the are banned altogether. Not to mention they are in the spotlight all the time, where as the only people who know about me abusing adderall are fellow poker players.

    You acknowledged it now, but it took you several posts to do so. Doesn't look like you took responsibility so easy to me.

    Fair enough, but you're in the medical field and I'm not. I think it's pretty easy to see why these issues are so important to you and not me, which I think is the bulk of this argument as a whole.

    I'm not planning on taking it without a prescription for much longer, nor was that ever not the plan. I just wanted to test drive it before I bought it, capeesh?

    There are plenty of things society doesn't need rules and regulations for (hint: online poker is one). Prescription medicine obviously falls into the "needing rules and regulations" camp, so I have nothing more to say about that.

    I'm not holding you to a different standard than I hold myself or anyone else. Do what you want but take responsibiity for it and lose the stupid justifications.
    What do you consider "taking responsibility for it?" I've already acknowledged that according to you I am abusing adderall at the moment. Is that not enough for you?

    There is lots of good advice to be heard on various subjects by people who are not considered "experts" in whatever they're giving advice in. Any advice that doesn't hurt, helps, IMO.

    I've already said that the way I'm taking it now is not going to be any less safer than my own prescription. Yes the dosage levels would be a little different, but they would undoubtedly be more. I think you're overreacting on the effects of me taking it unperscribed as opposed to prescribed, it's not like most other prescription medicine in that regard.

    I didn't ask the same people for the actual drug, nor did I ask anybody on here or in any other thread on this for it either.

    You're orginal post stated that you wanted it for the purposes of playing online poker, not for the appropriate medical indications. That is abuse. You fail to recongize it as abuse though so I doubt my answer will satisfy you.
    How is it abuse if I use it while playing online poker? The purpose of adderall is to become motivated and focused, why does it matter if I'm focusing that energy on playing poker rather than to study for a test?

    Please address that.

    Sure it's self explanatory if you fall under the belief that using adderall to focus on online poker is "abuse." I don't feel that way at all, hence the confusion.

    Char's perspective - I might as well join in this nonsense...

    This whole stupid debate comes down to the fact that aislefive can't comprehend that there is little to no difference in taking a prescribed medication without a prescription and taking "street corner" drugs.

    Sure one comes in a neato plastic bottle with directions and the other is usually in a ziploc baggie, but that's about the only difference IMO. In both cases you are self-diagnosing and self-prescribing (I have x problem and will give myself this much of y to cure it). The fact that you think you might get prescribed this drug if you go the doctor doesn't really change that much of the equation.

    danuts as a soon to be doc is mortified by this - eek! taking a prescription drug without a prescription means you are not seeking appropriate medical help!! (if you look at it from his viewpoint that's understandable). aisle as a young student doesn't understand the mortification - it's just a couple of pills and I already know what they are supposed to do for ya so who needs a stupid piece of paper from a guy with a white coat and a big ego just to take em? (if you look at it from his viewpoint that's understandable).

    BTW - I have no prob with you taking the freebies and I'm sure I would've done the same in college if offered. In fact one of my best smashed experiences was purposely mixing a roomate's vicodin with booze (I ended up feeling like Jello, in a good way). I just didn't try to justify what I was doing as "ok" because his vicodin was prescribed. Instead I fessed up the fact that I was experimenting with drugs as young college kids are prone to do.

    have fun experimenting aisle - now can we have our group hug??

    Good god that IS amazing isnt it. Roomate fucked his hip up and got a metric asston of hydrocodone. Little bit of booze, little bit of valium -- happy place.

    It makes my girlfriend sick tho

    Here's the thing - YOU CAN GET A PRESCRIPTION FOR THIS SHIT THAT MAKES IT TOTALLY LEGAL TO TAKE AND, AND, AAAANNNDDD PROPERLY DOSED OUT FOR YOU BY A PROFESSIONAL.

    We arent saying dont take it. Well, Iowa is, but iowa says all sorts of crazy shit. We dont care if you take it. We just want you to be safe about it and to go see a fucking doctor, and somehow we're assholes for making this suggestion.

    It makes me think theres something *way* deeper than just being unfocused and unable to concentrate...
    This post makes me think there's something *way* deeper than just posting in the first person plural. Perhaps schizophrenia. Maybe you should see a doctor to get some drugs.

    Ok here's my experience. I ate some shrooms one night and went to see Interview With a Vampire opening night. It might have been one of the most scariest and thrilling experiences of my life.

    We could only find a seat in the middle of theater. So we sat down and the movie started going. All of a sudden I thought that I was either going to throw-up or shit myself. I couldn't concentrate on the movie. I kept asking myself "am I going to throw-up or shit myself". Then I started to justify that it was ok if I did one or the other.

    But then I flipped out. I thought there is noway I can sit here and do either. But I felt trapped. I had people on both sides of me. So, I just got up and ran out. I went into the bathroom and realized that I didn't need to poop or vomit. I looked at myself in the mirror, bad thing to do when tripping balls, and about lost it.

    I left the bathroom and told myself that I couldn't go back in because I wouldn't be able to find where I was sitting before. I kept arguing with myself to go in, but I couldn't. So, I went outside and stood by the wall for about an hour and smoked a pack of Marlboro Reds.

    People kept walking by and I thought that they knew I was fucked-up. I kept saying to myself "they know they know they know". Can you blow me where the pampers are?

    My friends finally came out, and ever since then I have suffered from paranoid anxiety. Oh well, good times.
