I hate doing everything but when I take adderall I feel so refreshed and I finish everything so fast.
It makes me motivated, quick thinker, energetic, faster and just overall happier.
I am going to the doctor to try to scam for some despite not being adhd at all. maybe add.

If it helps you that much, you probably do have adhd, and just don't realize it. One of the most devastating aspects is the inability to self motivate. Thoughts about the future don't create motivational mood states like they do in otherwise healthy people which is why medication is so necessary. I have normal goals compared to people my age, the only difference is, thinking about them will not motivate me like it will motivate them.

I personally believe people shouldn't take medication to alter their behavior because my question is where will it end? Will people some day pop pills in order to like a certain food or type of music better and thus fit in better with the crowd? Will they take pills to change their favorite color? to keep from having a favorite color? to keep from having a favorite anything?

That said, I don't know the extent of your situation. If you feel you need it, using it is your choice, I suppose. At least you're choosing. I was forced to take medication against my will for years. To this day I raise an eyebrow whenever I hear about recreational drug use. I just can't imagine someone willingly doing that to themselves.

the grass is always greener, I suppose.
