    **WARNING I wish I was givin**Worked well at first because It made me feel limitless literally but soon it stopped working so I decided to make the worst decision of my life and up my dose. Of course I got that feeling again and fast forward 8 years later and multiple rehab trips Iâ??m still battling adderall addiction.
