What do you know about Adderall?

Question

I have issues with concentrating to certain things. I often start a project and don't finish. I often find myself daydreaming because I CAN'T pay attention even if I want to.

I heard from someone that these are a few reasons she got on Adderall. I have tried a couple and really like the way my attitiude goes from grundy and day dreamy to happy and focused.

What do you know about Adderall? What personal experiences have you had with it? What side affects have you had? How many do you take a day?

Is this something I can get from my doctor, or do I need to see like a therapist?

Please answer only if you yourself, or someone close to you has used Adderall. I am not looking for opinions based with no experience with it. I would like answers from people with personal experience.

Thank you.

Adderall is a really good drug, IF you are ADHD.  You should not self medicate as this medication has some side effects.  IF you have a relationship with your regular doctor then he can write the prescription for you.  If he doesn't know you very well then he will probably send you to a therapist.  Medications that affect your brain function are to be taken very seriously.  Stop taking your friends medicine and go to the doctor!
