You may be familiar with the commonly abused study drug across college campuses world-wide known as adderall. Students abuse the drug for difficult homework assignments, exams, and even partying. Some people are able to use the medication once or twice a semester and put it down. Others become dangerously addicted and fall into a seemingly never ending life of chaos. An addicts life, no matter what drug, gradually becomes unmanegaeble as the addition progresses. If you believe your child or loved one may be suffering from adderall addiciton it's important to catch it early. The addiction itself is expensive, manipulive, and tough to kick alone. Adderall Addiction (My Story) is a personal story describing the life of a former adderall addict. Gregg was formerly diagnosed with ADHD and his doctor prescribed him adderall. Quickly he became addicted and dependant to the drug and his life became severely unmanageable. His writing aims to help others identify the common problems of stimulant addictions (adderall, vyvanse, ritalin, concerta, crack, crack-cocaine, cocaine, and methamphetamine) and promote awareness to the issue. ADHD medication is over-prescribed and easily accessible in college campuses across the world.

"As ADHD became the most commonly diagnosed mental health disorder in children, the production of amphetamines in the United States rapidly increased, as did the number of young people receiving prescriptions for stimulant medications." (centeronaddiciton.org)

Gregg's personal story on adderall begins in his freshman year at college after his first purchase of adderall from a student. Less than 2 weeks after his first taste of the drug he was prescribed. His story provides a chronological narrative of the phases associated with his addiction. The addiction lasted 5 years before he was forced to seek help. At the peak of his addiction he was taking 180mg's of adderall daily. This dosage would be lethal for the common person. Gregg's addiction eventually caused him to become homeless and forced to seek help from a rehabilitation center.
