I have been taking adderall for 6 years 40mg a day but I also take prozac, zanax to offset the stimulant in adderall.  If I just took adderall I would be bouncing off the walls. I take the other meds at night to go to sleep.  I try not to take them in am unless I get so anxious I can't stand it.  I have been on medication for 20 years for anxiety and depression but 6 years ago the doctor added the adderall for energy source. Now I can't go without it or I will just lay around and do nothing. I use to feel like I did not need to take drugs for my condition but over the years I have realized that it's necessary for me. I definently have an imbalance somewhere up there and the meds do help. Medication will only help with the symptoms you must deal with life yourself. Negative thoughts can take over and destroy your quality of life. You begin to dwell on the negative all the time and isolate yourself from everyone.  I have to literally make myself go outside and do something.  It makes me feel ashamed because I could be alot worse off with some major debilatating disease that confines you to a chair. Anxiety and depression can paralyze you if you allow it. This is a problem you have to come to terms with.  Over the years I have talked to countless people about this I have read all the research about the subject.  It all comes down to your will to survive. If I can help you in anyway feel free to email me and put subject "desperate" so I can pick it out of the spam mail. Talking to someone who is going through the same thing helps immensly. kristina knlboss@aol.com
