I have dealt Adderall addiction although in a way most likely different than most. In my college years I was on tons of medications ranging from mood stabilizers to anti-psychotics, all in all, I was on 8 different medications to treat psychological issues I was having. Now those 8 medicines combined to deliver a mighty powerful punch which made me sleepy all of the time and made it very hard for me to wake up. The psychiatrist's solution was Adderall. In the beginning, it was great. I would set my alarm for 4 hours before I had to wake up and take an Adderall that I had next to my bed and I'd be awake. It was amazing being able to get to my classes on time. At the same time, if I got 4 hours of sleep I felt refreshed as if I had 8 to 12 hours. Things started slipping once I was taken off my medications. All of a sudden I didn't need the Adderall but I was addicted to being able stay up late. I never used it recreationally or to be more productive, I was just hooked on not needing sleep and it was great. I took a few months of re-adjusting but I was finally able to get back to sleeping normally but it was still hard for awhile. Why sleep for 6 hours and be tired when I could sleep for 2 less and pop an Adderall and not be tired at all.
