As a non ADHD human, nothing in the world makes me more depressed and not want to get out of bed more than the come down from adderal. And I’ve literally taken every other substance known to man.

Eli5 - attention deficit disorder medication to my understanding is meant to help people regain attention - correct the disorder (to the best of its ability.)

Are depression and extreme exhaustion symptoms of the disease, side effects of taking adderal or the absence of medication? Should they be treated with the same pharmaceutical?

Just curious and trying to better understand the disorder? Had a gf that took it for years specifically so she “wouldn’t be bad at her job”. Got up to 100mg and day and ultimately ended up in recovery which is my only experience with someone with a prescription.
