My parents forced me back into taking medication, and we all came to the reluctant agreement that I would take adderall only when I need it, not everyday, so that way, I wouldn't build up resistance to it nearly as quickly. I THOUGHT we had come to an agreement, but now, they claim that they thought I meant "only during the school days." They are now forcing my hand into taking the medicine every day, of which I am growing exceedingly irritated, as well as refusing to even accept the fact that I could have grown resistant to it in a little over two months. Of course, now I'm hooked on it again, and getting seriously pissed off, as it's lost it's effect now, when I need it most, during testing season. Can someone supply me with links to really official scientific evidence, because my parents are now refusing to accept that the psychologist even said that people grow resistant to these sorts of things, so clearly that's not official enough for them.

I don't know of any as this drug is not available in the UK. However I have noticed that you tend to post but not reply (or at least you haven't replied to the previous 2 threads you started). Replying would be helpful so that we know that you have read what we are saying is helpful or that you have even seen what we are saying.
If you are not successful in finding the information that you are searching for (I am not sure if it's even possible to find them as they tend to be only available to medical health professionals not online for the general public to read) may I suggest that you bring your parents to your next psych appointment. Sometimes parents accept it better if they are told face to face where they have opportunities to ask questions.
Finally if you don't have adhd then taking that sort of drug is potentially dangerous and is not to be recommended.

I apologize for the lack of responses. My life tends to be quite hectic, and I either forget or am unable to answer due to some sort of event. I also tend to give up, and don't ask for help, until I've hit rock bottom. I am aware it is an unhealthy habit.

That's ok. It's just that it can be frustrating when people take the time to reply and it's not known if they have even read what we have written.

I understand that, and how inconsiderate it is. Know that, for the most part I do read the replies. Sometimes I don't answer because I don't know what to say, sometimes because I'm afraid I'll sound like an ass if I do, and might say something I later regret. I have such an innate fear of saying things I may regret, because I've done so many times in the past.

Update: The doctor insisted I continue taking adderall until the end of the school year, so I'm taking vitamins which help the mind focus as well, since the adderall pills no longer have any effect whatsoever. I'm "Super B Complex" vitamins, and while they aren't as effective as the adderall originally was, they do more than it now. Not really sure what to do next, but yeah.

I'm glad your on this forum, I just joined but might be able to help you out because I went through this.. My parents put me on ADHD medication(think adderal, concerta, vyvanse) because I wouldn't sit still in my school. Then when I went back to college at age 22 and the doctors proscribed me vyvanse, I was old enough to really see the affects. The highs were high in my life and the lows were low, something didn't seem right. (Its just releases dopamine in pill, do you want to life run from a pill?) Now that i'm old enough to think for myself, it wasn't the right schooling for me and would have just done fine in a different environment without the drugs. The medicine is all for profit, just keep your mind healthy with good diet and exercise. Make the decision for yourself because YOUR the one taking them and doing the swallowing. Ask yourself, Do I want to continue todo this?
