The Lament of the Adderall Aficionado

Desperate to finish his chemistry paper on time, this is the story of one careless mans mental journey through a severe Adderall overdose.

-- Disclaimer: This isn't meant to be realistic! DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME. Taking this much Adderall at once could be incredibly harmful if not fatal!

-- No this has never happened to me or anybody I know. It's merely an exaggerated, abstract, portrayal of a stimulant gone horribly wrong.

--The "Static Creature" was done with a suit I made out of some neon green cloth that I simply keyed out in After Effects & put some white noise behind. There's a really cool chromakey tutorial on Creativecow.net that helped a lot.

I have ADD and ADHD im on a medication called "Vyvanse" same a adderall. Trying to cram for exams one week so i took about 6x's the regular dose to help me. I began to have rapid heart beats and was very frightened. I almost died that day when my heart almost failed. Key to this story is dont abuse drugs even if there from your doctor.

My son Sean Good was supposed to have gone to get Stratera, and B12 and SAM-E to help increase his energy. My son chose to get more Ritalin instead. He had tried Concerta (time released) . The Dr.  he said Sean miss the big jolt, but he needs to He was such a good boy. He loved God and hated how this curse had changed him. Sean had writen a note that said "I an a devil with God inside me, if you are perfect send me some of your sweet sweet love, your sweet sweet love. I believe God did.

it is also notable, adderall is used because it works quickly, and does not need to build up in your system. there are much less dramatic drugs that can be used for ADD. stratera is a non stimulant, (that means not amphetamine) that can be used. it builds up in the system, and is nonhabit forming.

a change in diet and exercise can help

ADD a lot. cutting out sugary foods and caffinated beverages, and making sure they play outside for at least an hour a day helps a lot. but most parents dont no that, i mean if more parents took an active role in their kids lives, many kids would not have this problem, or b on medication...
