Is it possible to have SCT and ADD? Dexedrine fixes my inattention but I still don't get stuff done because I don't focus on whats important.

Means you can't snort or inject it, only works orally

Not in 00:23 every case a ADHD child is clearly interruptive. That doesn`t mean it`s SCT.

I was told that AD(H)D only occurs in children by multiple doctors. I live in the UK. Sure, stimulants motivate me, but I hate the sensation aside from the exponential boost in creativity and motivation, as well as clarity of thought.

I did become a homeless, alcoholic drug-addict. At home, outside: it's all the same. Everything is a complex mathematical problem I constantly work through in my head.

I'm 44 (ADHD), my oldest boy 10 (ADHD), we both use Ritalin, it was horrible, but, when Vyvance has been working amazingly well for us, and most important, it doesn't affect our personality.

I'm curious about his statement re. Vyvanse is the first non abusable amphetamine (1.07:00 on) when the vyvanse.com website says "has a high risk of abuse".
