I think I have "ADD" (attention deficit disorder) since I can't focus for more than 5 minutes on anything and I always have to be doing something with my hands, etc. But at the same time I don't think ADD really exists. It is a human trait that we all possess to varying degrees. I don't believe in giving kids Adderall for it since I think Adderall has too many negative side effects and is another drug created merely to make money off of us. (Although some adderall would be nice right now:hump:). I've considered getting Adderall but realized it was not because I had a problem but was just because I wanted to get some cheap drugs :/.

So what are your views on ADD? And taking meds for it?

Im not trying to say that your condition is bullshit because i have suffered from attention problems... But i think that ADD is bullshit. People 100 yrs ago didnt have ADD... The media fills people with bullshit so that people will believe that they need to put there money in the hands of pharm. companys... Your brain is a powerful thing that can and will make you feel how you want if you learn how to use it... I think you should get more exercise, take vitamins, and eat right... you'll be amazed with the results... How does marijuana effect your attention span? maybe you should smoke more or less???

I'm with you that it ADD is bullshit and that there are natural solutions to this "disorder" that so many seem to have. And it is weird with smoking, I'm either really focused or not focused at all because I just want to get high and not have to work ha

Adderall is a stimulant... Might as well be giving kids some Meth!

Actually my daughter takes adderall and its the complete opposite for her, she calms down and can focus on activities instead of being all crazy wild. She also sleeps better at night. I have read articles on how it is made up blah blah blah, I really dont care. I care that she is now a very happy child who can watch a movie for the first time in 5 years and actually comprehend it.

I also take adderall, just a small dose, but it is also used to treat depression not to mention other probs. It doesnt give me energy like "Meth" but it helps me focus and get shit done that needs to be done.

Don't get me wrong... I have taken adderall for many years, to study, to stay awake, to get high... But it curves your appetite... I know it helps alot of kids but i also know some kids that adderall stunted there growth because they weren't eating enough during the developmental stages of life.

ADD is something I everyone has, but as someone said there are varying degrees of it. There are days when I'm normal but other days I can't pay attention to one thing for more than 10 or 15 minutes then I just say, "I have ADD today." I hear that phrase a lot at school. Man I'm so high I can't put my thoughts together lol I love RIU: TokenTalk

as a person with adhd, anxiety, and epilepsy i have found in my research of my self adhd just makes me get interested in something but then in like 3-5 seconds i don't care anymore and anxiety (which makes you not want to stop moving) usually for me feels like.... well i don't know i'll just be moving some part of my body and epilepsy just sucks

I actually have adhd and thats why I take it. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder... Its very hard for me to sit and watch a movie...unless Im taking my adderral it makes it a bit easier.
It actually affects a lot of my life but I was trying to give an example.
