How’s this for meta? I just read the Margaret Talbot article about Adderall – on Adderall. Man, I tore through those paragraphs like a trucker on speed only it was the Information Superhighway instead of a real one.
How’s this for meta? I just read the Margaret Talbot article about Adderall – on Adderall. Man, I tore through those paragraphs like a trucker on speed only it was the Information Superhighway instead of a real one. Apparently, The New Yorker JUST realized every college student in the country is on amphetamines. However, they seemed to leave out some pretty crucial details about the drug.
1- It’s not addictive. I take half a 20mg pill a day. If my tolerance goes up and that doesn’t work, I stop for a few days to let it go down again. Stopping doesn’t do shit to me and I don’t crave it one bit.
2- It makes you grind your teeth so bad I think I’m erasing them from my mouth. I haven’t asked a dentist yet but I have a strong feeling my teeth are about as short as is healthy for a young woman. I also have pains behind my jaws where the clench muscles are. If you don’t think Adderall is making you clench your teeth, stick a toothpick in there and watch it disintegrate. Within about 2 minutes it’s just a piece of pulp.
3- It makes your lower back hurt. I remember meeting British people who did so much E they said it drained their spinal fluid. This must be happening to my back on Adderall. I’m sitting down right now and I still feel like I’ve been standing at a Billy Idol concert for two hours.
4- It’s not a party drug. Sometimes my friends will ask me for a pill when we’re out partying because they think it’s clean cocaine. It’s not. It’s a super coffee and you only drink super coffee when you want to do schoolwork. I never waste my babies on partying.
5- It kills hangovers dead. If your hangover is making you feel like a -10, the pill will get you back up to 0. You’re not as productive as you would be if you weren’t hungover but your body has no idea you drank two bottles of wine last night.
6- It makes you call up old friends and go, “Are you mad at me?” It’s great for essays but overthinking social relationships makes you paranoid and before you know it, you’ve patched up friendships that you didn’t even really want to patch up.
7- It makes your stomach hurt because you don’t eat and you drink coffee but holy shit have I lost some weight! I can’t bear to look at the scale but I know for sure I’ve come in one entire belt hole and my unwearably tight jeans are now wearable again.
8- it makes your turds yellow.
bring some next time, bro dude. I got 5 on it.
Right when it wears off i always release a soft shit.
9- It makes you write boring articles about a drug everyone has been doing for at least the last 5 years, and think said people give a shit about your mundane observations
she spelled street carnage in adderalls. 10 pussies.

Teeth grinding is seriously bad news. It almost always leads to TMJ aka temporomandibular joint disorder. You do NOT want to have TMJ. Imagine walking around and feeling like you permanently have a one pound weight attached to your lower jaw that keeps getting heavier and heavier all the time. That’s TMJ.
i am an on and off college student, but, i take it cause it makes me feel like i could crush people with my words. i’m fairly articulate as is, but, with that stuff the shit my brain makes my mouth say makes obama sound like a stuttering bitch
@hagenshape LOL totally
Don’t sound very articulate, “man.”
You queers nowadays… popping pills from your mommy’s purse.
Go do some real drugs you jagoffs! From the street, quit pussying around on menopause medicinie.
Jeeesus!
“4- It’s not a party drug.”
I disagree. If you crush up a tablet and rail it, it can be pretty fun. The same goes with cracking open an XR and chewing up all the tasty innards.
It makes you call up old friends and go, “Are you mad at me?” CRINGE yes ugh.
The only time I ever tried it the thing kicked in when i was in the middle of singing karaoke and then i had to describe to the entire room amplified that i felt wobbly and then explain what i meant by wobbly, i was also wasted. can you mail me some thanks i’ll trade you some chill pills.
@ Jacko – totes. I never took adderall but i smoked a shit ton of meth in los ’90s and all the above applies BS to me. I never worked at the gap, so how do u think I learned to fold clothes so well. Lets take E and Acid then get dusted and breath vicks through a filter mask, then see how good xanax and whiskey are.
Bro railing it just gives you blue mucus and blue boogies. The only thing more played out than old people media “discovering” everyone is on adderol is “alt media” writing articles bashing old media for just discovering the youngins are doing the pills. Fuck, even those commie nerds at n+1 had a similar article like a year ago.
teeth grinding is a deal breaker
LOL I never wanted to fold clothes on Adderall. I just wanted to look up random things on wikipedia.
i only read the bold print. saved me a lot of time. thanks.
so is provigil not fun enough for anybody to care about it? because it really is some kind of crazy miracle drug that will turn us all into superhumans and would make america the best country in the world again if we kept it from everyone else
adderall is fan-fucking-tastic. i have a ‘script for 30mg time-release, 10mg, and 10 mg amphetamine salts (the same thing, just the generic), and yeah, i have a psychiatrist who likes to throw prescriptions at me, it’s great. although, i’ve taken it for like 5 years and it’s not working as well as it used to, but it still works.
I’ll stick to butyl nitrate and black beauties, thank you.
the last time i took adderall i made a bunch t shirts that said things like ‘t & a’ and ‘i am fart’.
but it is no good.
Two bottles of wine = -10 Hangover?
in high school my friends and i did ecstasy until our backs were all fucked up. After that everytime i smoked pot my back would ache too. I haven’t touched the stuff (ecstasy, not pot) in a couple of years and I’m good as new. So.. yeah
i put adderall pills in my butthole every morning before i go to school and i’m so high by lunch i can’t help but snort some rails in the bathroom then go and ace my midterms!!!!!
moderation is the key to life baby. but i feel those back problems a little too… spinal fluids???? wtf. and i only take 5-10 mg 3 – 4 times a week
i was on 20mg in the am and 10mg in the evenings in highschool. now i take some other grown up adderal and i overanalize my current relationship into dust.

I’ve been doing uppers for about 3 years now, and it takes me 60mg of adderall to even be worth it, just a slight buzz. 120 for a major run. I get wired about 1-3 times a day, and go for a week at a time sometimes, stopping for just long enough to sleep and get high again, for about month-3 month long periods, then stop for about 18 days, and I CAN tell you adderall is deadly addictive. Not in a physical sense, you become VERY dependant, and it CONTROLS your life. You can regulate it, but once you get high more than 3 times a week, it’s in control, no matter what you think. The cravings and irritability doesn’t come at first, it’s just dependency. After a few days, WHAM you just want to get high, but why? YOUR ADDICTED. It KILLS your kidneys, I know this because both of my parents are dead from kidney failure, due to use of amphetamines and Methamphetamines. My advice is when you tweak, drink a LOT of water, or you will lose BOTH your kidneys within 15 years of tweaking. Short life, huh? It is worth it though, if you ask me. Dope can replace heaven or hell in my book. My message to all tweakers is to just make sure YOU control the drug, even if its in control. The best way to do that, is to use the drug to your advantage, make up for all the loss of getting it, and getting high off it. Good luck — Just another tweaker… (16yrs. old)
Surprising.
YES, It is draining your spinal fluid. If you think ANY drug will make you”stronger” “smarter” “more articulate”, GET SOME FUCKING SELF ESTEEM. Plus, I was taking 35mg in the morning and 25 at lunch WHEN I WAS 8 YEARS OLD. Fuckin’ idiot.
Oh, just so you all understand… By taking adderall you over stimulate your dopamine receptors, so when you off the shit down the road, you’ll have “tardive dysknteynsia”. I.E. involuntary spasms of your face. HAVE FUN TRYING TO KEEP A RELATIONSHIP, or even getting laid. Phh
Just another Tweaker is right and honest. Thumbs up, live your life bud.
