Yes...I know the "do you really have ADHD?" question is not an easy or clear one. I was more interested in the side effects of continual use of the drug...Nearly all of the media mentions of the drug deal with people who use it periodically or who are prescribed the drug during a significant volatile period in their life (i.e. college).

Of course, selection bias would also indicate that media mentions of Adderall would come from people who've faced drastic side effects. But I've rarely read from people who've taken the drug 20+ years. And I'm interested in not just what happens if you decide to quit...but if you haven't ever quit, what side effects you tolerate day-to-day?
