Title: Adderall has changed my personality traits
Post by: wraithe on May 16, 2013, 02:45 am
I have been taking adderall for 5 months now about 45mg IR a day orally.  Among the many benefits most people know about it focus, energy, sex drive, etc I have experienced some others

Many of my recessive character traits.
 I was always a Passive-Aggressive guy, now I am Overly Aggressive(i understand amphets can trigger rage/irritability) 
I was always a cautious person, now I am doing things and taking risks I never would of imagined.  Not in a "ill skydive now way" more in a Sociopath way lol  I am becoming more narcissistic.
I have lost any filter I used to have.  When I would have a conversation with someone and I did not like what they were saying, or it was bullshit, I would just go with it.  Now I call them out everytime. 

Not only do I feel this has benefited me in business, but I no longer resent some of my flaws I use to have as those flaws are changing.

Either way I figured I would rant and see if anyone else has noticed this.  At first I was just more irritable but it has evolved

So you like the way you are now?

Mind you it's just an effect of the drug. If you stop taking it you will turn back to your original self.

What you have described above (risk taking, no filters etc.) are also known effects of dopamine-increasing stimulants :)

I was on it for about 6 months.  After getting off of it, it took a long time before I could get self motivated again.

I remember Adderall making me super horny a couple of times I took it. I jerked off like 6 or 7 times within an 8 hour period of taking it.

I'd like to get some more but it's a bit hard to find in the part of the world I am living. All that's available here is straight meth, and I'd rather not take the risk of getting caught buying it.

I have definitely noticed changes in people's behaviour even in the smallest of ways whilst t regularly taking any psychiatric medications such as Adderall, Cymbalta, Xanax, etc.

The only thing I would like to add, is that although the drug may be facilitating the changes in your behaviour and consequently your personality, that these are traits you are able to have without the usage of the meds. You can learn to become more outspoken and you can learn to become more adventurous in your daily life. It won't be as easy as taking a pill, but the effects will be true and long-lasting. It's just a matter of how much work you're willing to put towards your own self-development.

Yea I was more commenting on how these recessive traits were brought to the forefront, these are still my traits just ones I was more reserved with or that were not as pronounced.  I work on self development everyday I psychoanalyze everything and how I can change.  These changes were not consciously done, just something that occurred.  Overall its a mix bag.  Did I want to be the guy screaming at the cook at Boston Market not really, but the dude was an asshole and someone needed to say something.   Normally I would of said it under my breath but instead I screamed it over the counter lol

as for losing them if I quit, I cant quit adderall I wouldnt be able to function at the level I need to without it.
