LoL! Yeh, I got what you meant, when I read your post the first time...
Just hadn't had time to read much lately, and didn't have anything useful to add about Adderall XR, so didn't read until today.
I didn't feel high on Adderall, which I only took for a very short time and only in the regular release version. In fact, it increased my depression a great deal, which is why we stopped it. (We, by the way, referring to my pdoc and me.)
I *did* feel high on Ritalin, though, and it was worse on the long acting version, Concerta. I've been told that the high feeling goes away after about six weeks for most people, so not to give up, and I probably could have waited that out -- but I had other "issues" with it... It's a very uncomfortable feeling, and it's hard for me to imagine that people pay good money to feel that way -- although, to be fair, I didn't go out dancing while taking it...
I'm glad you feel better, and am sorry it didn't work out for you. Had you tried the regular Adderall? Did that help?
