Reply to comment by kingofshling in Study finds brain changes associated with ADHD remission. As the brains of those with ADHD mature, some individuals may repetitively engage in strategies that compensate for symptoms. These repetitive behaviors may result in the brain changes seen in those who went into remission. by Wagamaga

My ex husband was addicted to Adderall he started taking at 12. It has A LOT of negative effects over time.

I mean, it impacted him the way you think about meth impacting people. It just ruined his life. One of the doctors explained to me that it acts on your brain in some of the same ways as other stimulants, and over time it prevents your brain from learning to live without it, basically. Anyway, I'm very wary of it. I never knew people could get addicted to a kid's medicine.

My sister got addicted to Adderall,Ritalin, and Sudafed at the same time. She has been addicted for 20yrs and she moves and acts like a person addicted to meth . I believe she has psychosis/paranoia from it. She acts like any other addict. Causes non stop issues for the rest of the family. I believe she never had adhd and just wanted to something to get her moving before work. It’s destroyed everything in her life. So I say if someone feels they need medicated please take it slow and take the absolute minimum of the dose.
