> All stimulants are addictive and you will have physical side effects from discontinuing use.

I love those side effects though. It is so nice to stop taking them and feel cozy and rest for a few days. The best description I have for it is that it feels like when you get home from a hard days work and are tired and go sit down in your sofa and just relax. Just that the feeling lasts for days! Awesome, right?

I hate being on the meds and I never take them when I don't work, but I have to take them to do any kind of work requiring focus like for example filling out a form.

It's a much more difficult withdrawal for many/heavy stimulants users. brain fog, zaps, depression lasting months, messed up dopamine/glutamate and other brain crap.

It sucks there aren't any good meds for addiction treatment for stimulants yet (naltrexone/bupe etc).

Quitting meth, cocaine, prescription stims is really really hard.

I have never heard of someone having withdrawal symptoms from a prescription dosage of Adderal. I've kept my ears open for one, since this is an exceptionally common anecdote that someone's heard from someone else.

If you have, please point to a source - there's a lot of anecdotal FUD running rampant throughout this thread.
