Possible for Ex Drug Addict to Get Adderall for ADHD Treatment?

Question by Joe: Possible for ex drug addict to get adderall for ADHD treatment?
[rewrite]So my entire life ive been from one ADD drug to the next. Ritalin, concerta, and focalin do nothing but make me go crazy so those types of drugs are out. I am currently on wellbutrin which isnt doing anything for my attention at all, just makes me smile a little more. Dexedrine made me feel nothing and Strattera just dosent work. Basically the one drug that did ANY good for me was Adderall and i screwed up by taking a months prescription in a day (didnt go to an emergency room, was totally fine no seizures my pdoc only knows about this event because i told him). I am an ex cocaine addict (before the adderall) and used to drink something close to 7-10 cups of coffee a day before ANY of these things so now that im trying to get my life in order adderall would appear to be my one option for success. The issue’s are: 1) well obviously i have a history of abuse, thats not good and, 2) I have an EXTREMELY high tolerance to it (might have been the cause of my abuse as i had it before i abused the drug) so 3) would need a very high dose for effectiveness. Im not worried about abusing it anymore, im done with all that so im not asking how to con my doctor into prescribing it for me im just asking how can i explain that the wellbutrin is ineffective and it might actually be worth it to try this one more time. Ive been off cocaine for 6 years and havnt touched adderall since prescribed 4 years ago, needless to say rehab taught me well so if anyone can spare any advice i would appreciate it.

Answer by YO, MR. WHITE!
I don’t think you should be on any drugs. Are you sure you have ADD anyways. I have ADD (I think)- im not on any drugs. It’s all in your mind. Looks like your doctor is prescribing you EVERY CNS Stimulant!! And at that, adderall which you already said you abused it. That means ur brain has an easier time getting back into the habit of craving a drug- and once it starts its gana take over ur life!!I don’t know why you keep turning to more and more drugs when you said you have been off cocaine for 6 years. I don’t know why ur doctor prescribed u wellbutrin – seems like he is just trying every drug on you.

I think you have a great chance of abusing adderall if you get another prescription for it. No adderall in the first place means no chance of abusing it.

Maybe the question here is: is your ADD that bad if you are putting yourself through so many drugs??? Maybe find another alternative..meditation….working out…..keeping a healthy lifestyle….?? idk how you live , but maybe balance is all we need
