Is Adderall Worth The Extra Cost For Therapeutic Purposes? (Discussion)

If you are using Adderall for therapeutic purposes, is it worth it to pay the ~$15 per day in your opinion, Methylphenidate (aka Ritalin) which is ~$8? Secondly... what about Vyvanse, Dexedrine, or Desoxyn? Do you find those to work any better for you, and if so, is it worth the seemingly higher prices than Adderall?

 

Lastly, what do you think about the "pressed pill" alternatives that are described as either Amphetamine, Methamphetamine, 4F-MPH, 4-Me-TMP, or rare others? In addition, even things like Amphetamine Paste or Crystal Methamphetamine shards can be considered, I suppose.

Do they work as well, or are they worth it for the money saving? Do you feel worried that these may have more harmful chemicals or additives in them? Do you feel a bit "negative" or "sad" because there may be more stigma around using non-pharmaceutical pills, even if logically they are the same chemical (supposedly)?

 

I know everyone will be different and have different results, especially with medication for different problems, but what are you experiences?

I just wanted to bring this up after seeing many similar discussions, which always seem to only come up in the comment sections of posts. I felt like due to it never being the direct question itself, the discussion in the comments is always somewhat limited and biased.

For example, if someone is going to a vendor review of "Adderall Alternatives", they may be more biased in favor of the alternatives to begin with.

If you legitimately have ADD/ADHD, you can get a script. Adderall isn't even worth it for recreational/occasional study use on the DN. Costs too much when you can get effectively the same thing for way cheaper. Using Adderall multiple times a week would absolutely wreck your wallet

Why not get yourself a legal script and save all the hassle? Study the symptons(they are few)..look at sites of the shrinks in your area..there will be lots of them. They all advertise or offer ADHD evaluations. There are online sample evaluations. Shrinks prescribe pills..that's their bread and butter. They are basically pill Doctors. If the 1st one you go in to see doesn't want to prescribe you ADHD meds...go see the next one down the road. This is perfectly legal and ethical. Patients are allowed to find a physician who shares their philosophy regarding treatment methods.(just don't find TWO shrinks to prescribe u same meds at same time. (Doctor Shopping will catch up to you unless you are a skilled, experienced and knowledge criminal.

If you had chronic pain issues and knew the only effective treatment that brought relief was medication therapy..would you settle for a pain Dr. who believed only in prescribing herbal remedies? Fuck no. Some shrinks think ADHD is best treated with talk therapy and Paxil. Keep looking and ye shall find. Be smart..don't act like a drug seeking retard. Don't try to get over on practitioners of the very field of mental health professionals who spend minimum 7 yrs learning how to spot a fakers and cons. Go in there having convinced yourself you suffer from legitimate ADHD issues. Most in fact prolly do have at least one or 2 ADHD related issues. Don't over sell. Be prepared to maybe have to start out slow..like maybe you seek adderall but Doc wants to start you on Ritalin. Agree...take the Rits. Couple weeks later you report your symptoms haven't abated...can we try something else? Good friend of mine started out with a scrip for 30/20mgs per month. 20mgs per day for 3 months he did. Then cam in saying he thought 40mgs would be more effective..then months later bumped it up to 30's. Within 2 yrs with gradual bumps in dosages...he was up to 120/30's per month. 4/30's a day..legally prescribed. #120/30 mg tabs of any generic version is no more than $1 per tablet and that's full retail price.

Think in terms of going undercover to bust criminal enterprise. You gotta slid in smooth...slow....act the part..patience. Study the signs Dr's look for in pill seekers. Then be sure NOT to exhibit them. If you wanna buy and sell drugs online but don't wanna get caught .....study the news accounts of those that HAVE been caught and be sure NOT to do the things that got them jammed up. Read federal indictment of the busted and convicted and sentenced. Learn where they went wrong and DON'T make same mistakes. Common sense boys..common sense.

If you're legitimately using it for non-recreationsal purposes then just go get a script for Adderall. It's extremely easy. Just search around for a psychiatrist, describe your symptoms, and he'll give you something to work with. Then next month if it's too little you can tell him and he'll change up dosages or medicine all together. No sense in fucking around with drugs shipped to your home unless there is no legal options. Especially when you'll be paying at least triple what you could be paying legally.

Try modafinil

Adderall goes for $5 a pill on the streets. Cheaper in bulk.

Find a dealer.

DNM is better for Xanax and club drugs.

Worse for weed, and most other pills.
