It seems to me that you could try it, and if you don't like the results, then stop taking it. The effects aren't permanent.
- ReactiveJelly 5y agoYep. I tried Adderall and the effects weren't quite what I wanted, so I just told my doc and tapered off it. (I had trouble sleeping, and it wasn't giving me executive function in the evening when I needed it to, instead I was crashing after work)
- cableshaft 5y agoThey were permanent in my family member's case. They're not taking the meds anymore (taking anti-psychotic meds now), but they're still getting worse. Granted they did take it for several years before it became apparent (and/or they let others know) that this had started happening. Not saying the meds are definitely the cause, maybe it was a latent thing they always had, but we share enough genes I'm not sure I want to take the chance. The effects it had on them was/continues to be pretty scary. https://www.healthline.com/health/adhd/adderall-psychosis https://www.healthline.com/health/adhd/adderall-psychosis This is probably my main concern, actually, not so much the other, sorry for not making that clear.
