This thread is FASCINATING to read -- My brand of Adderall changed recently. I even more recently decided to try going off of it.
I miss it. Somewhere here wrote that it helped them be in touch with their emotions. I can give up the focus, I can give up the productivity, I can give up the impulse control. But losing the fast instinct to stick up for myself, ask for what I want, express my needs before they overwhelm me...
... it's a bummer to think that Adderall really was helping me and that it wasn't simply a matter of fixing my depression/perspective.
