Tobacco for A.D.D?

Don't chew tobacco man.. come on.. thats nasty as hell.

Just quit.. mind of matter. I'm addicted to adderall too.. It takes about 5 days usually for me before I feel completely back to my old self.

 

I've actually been on it for 3 years too.. Usually a lot more than 60mg a day though haha. I had to quit for probation.. I felt normal after about 5 days, the 5 days were tough though. The 3rd day is always the hardest for me. You will continue to crave it and to think about it and all that, but you just have to have self control just like anything else.

As for cigs.. I wouldn't suggest substituting one addiction for another.. and for some reason cigs always make me want another adderall, and adderall always makes me want another cig.. they are a dangerous combination haha.

Good luck man.. It's been a very bumpy rough unsucessful road for me with my addy addiction, I hope you have better luck than me.

 

I'd rather have ADD than cancer.

And that's coming from someone who has ADHD and is an ex-cigarette smoker. Don't start using tobacco, unlike weed, there is NO benefit.

 

best way with those things is to just sit it out. like someone said dont combat one addiction with another. its a bad idea

 

yo whats up man, i know where ur comin from, i just got prescribed adderall and i took one and didnt like it, it like controled me too much .. but it did help focus. i started smoking to help w/ add, but let me tell u its not worth it, i'm pretty much done already after like 2 weeks of smoking. it helps but for like 10 15 minutes then its back to normal.

in my experience weed helps a shitload, but i dont smoke all the time, i used to get a lot of shitty paranoid highs, but now i'm gunna be tokin up when im a litle calmer. it kinda has the same effect as a cigarette, but it stays with you.

add definately sucks, i can relate about the braindead part. most of the day i can't even speak correctly .. its so fucked up

 

never do tobacco unless ud like to die instead of take aderall which is also very bad for you. try toking a bit more and wait for you're tolerance to build up then you get more of the positive effects without the uncontrollable high

 

thats so stereotypical
"smoking kills"
sure
my dads been smoking cigs for 37 years and his lungs are completely healthy
my friends been smokin em since he was 14 hes 23
and also his lungs are clean to
so yeah

 

wait a second. ur actually debating the fact smoking kills?

 

he'll be sad when his dad gets taken by cancer.

 

Try slowly lowering your adderall dose, along with small tokes of herb. Just take a few puffs, enough to chill you out a little without getting too high.

It's all about slowly lowering your dose to avoid the worst withdrawl.

If you really need to go get like a Buy One Get One Free packs of whatever the local store has and use ONLY THOSE to help you get off adderall. Buy once and that's it, nicotine is highly addictive and smoking weed is way more fun.

You could also try drinking coffee (caffeine).

 

i think i have a.d.d. and im 18 years old
no one ever picked it up but i think i have it

sounds like it cant get fixed
i was thinking i should go to the doctor to try and get something for me to focus but i see thats not going to work

 

No.

OP nothing is worth a tobacco addiction.

 

I've never been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, but I'm sure I have it.
I find weed to help alot with concentration in school, and in general.

You just don't smoke AS much as if you were trying to get high.

Like, for example, before I head out to my morning college class, I take a hit (or two ) at home, then one more when I get to school before class. (3-4 hits max)

Enough to get a buzz, but no more. If I smoke any more, I find myself in your situation. I get very daydreamy, and all I wanna do is close my eyes and not do anything.

So try smaller hits of weed. Try and stay off the adderall ;_; and please don't smoke. I'm a smoker (cigs & weed), and I can definately say that cigs don't do jack, you just wanna smoke more. Smoke the weed.

That's my advice

 

dude... ok ive been on adderal/vyvance/dextramphetamine and other amphetamine based stimulants since i was six man.... im hooked... i have a huge tolerence for that shit... ive tried other stuff... nothing works simmiler.... try to get perscribed adderal and then fix the negative effects with herb and sleep... possibly an anti depresent (like welburin (bupropin) to smooth down the crash... or take a hit)

 

I was a smoker for 15 years and never knew I had ADD until I quit. The nicotine did reduce symptoms of ADD. Since quitting I've been taking ritalin. I don't really care for it but until I figure out a better option I'm staying with it. I think starting smoking to help with your problem is a horrible idea. If you really think you would be better off go get some nicotine gum or patches.

 

This is what i would do, im 19 i have adhd, ive been prescribed adderal,Ritalin, an some other drug. all of these drugs made me not hungry at all, i could go all day without eating. i also smoke cigs, which does not help my adhd at all, you may think you'll smoke 1 or 2 a day but after a week of that you will be going through 10 cigs a day, then a pack. its no good.


i would go to your local lheadshop and pick up a dug out, its a wooden box with a little 1 hitter in it, you have a low tolerance so this is all you should need. Marijuana is the best thing i have found for the ADHD, its amazing, it brings my thoughts together,makes me hungry and calms me down. i would consider my self to have a higher tolerance though, i can smoke 4 bowls in one sitting and be high as fuck but its not too much. TRY Smaller doses of marijuana.

 

I'm going to give you advice that other people here may not like:

Yes, it will help you calm down and think.

When I was 15 I was diagnosed and took Atomoxetine for ADHD. I honestly think I did more damage in those 6 months taking Stratera than I did in my year of smoking.

Anyway, I picked up smoking as an alternative, as it's less harmful to your career prospects than taking a psycho-theraputic drug (Most people don't like putting someone who's on drugs in a cockpit).

Long story short, smoking did more to change my personality and demeanor than perscrip drugs ever did. I matured, was able to think clearly, became more relaxed, etc. One thing that didn't really change was my short attention span for things I wasn't interested in, but I think everyone has that problem. I was however able to concentrate and practically immerse myself in things (Classes, activities, etc) that did interest me.

Anyway, I guess what you have to decide is if the risks are worth the benefits. It's doubtful that smoking for a year is going to give you cancer, but it's possible, and even more possible is the risk for addiction. I was on about 3 cigarettes a day for a year, and I quit cold turkey, but not everyone's the same.

P.S.: And nothing beats having coffee and cigarettes in the morning.

Trust me I'm a doctor.
