Having ADHD, Adderall has helped me so much you wouldn't even understand. My life was rotting before i found out i had ADHD. Because i was thinking im just lazy and a loser because i wasn't like everyone else.
@zmizzy ADD is one of the most crippling things you can have if it’s really bad. You literally can know what you have to do in life but can’t do it. Everyone will call you lazy and “you just aren’t trying” but your body runs off of brain chemicals and if you don’t get dopamine you can’t do anything that requires effort, at all. There’s no motivation to do anything. I got to the point where I realized I didn’t like conversation with people because it didn’t feel good, but it did for everyone else. People overlook things like ADD and think it’s no big deal. It’s life crippling and one of the worst things you can have.
@zmizzy yes. Adhd is linked with a 3 fold risk of developing dementia, and stimulants are shown to remove that risk. Also, adhd reduces your lifespan on average by over 10 years due to unhealthy choices and stress. Adderall removes those risks as well. So if anything, adderall may lead to a longer and healthier life.
They did the same to me, talked to a therapist and taken the assessments, score genius level at 11 years old. But I also suffered from undiagnosed ADHD, and spent my life in a miserable condition of being smart but not able to use it to any benefit because I couldn’t focus. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 36, and the medication made my life go to easy mode. I’m productive and calmer, I can think about what I am doing, and not be distracted by every little thing around me, I can assess what is going on around me and respond in minutes instead of hours. It’s a great thing when you need it, I don’t recommend taking it if you’re “normal”.
dude, its like you are me, but i am thirty three, recently diagnosed. one thing i noticed, taking ritalin daily, is that i plan much more ahead and i am calmer, playing the drums nearly every day now, less yelling and weird outbreaks. this is huge contrast to alcohol which makes one even more stuck in the here and now and since i take ritalin alcohol consumption is almost zero, also i stopped smoking cigarettes. but to be able to focus on the future is the big win for me. i am very glad this works for me.
Have been diagnosed with the same and on and off of medication for most of my teen/adult life… whether I need it or not the side effects are not worth it. I hated the way I felt physically and mentally when taking said medication. I swear it’s like speed and at high doses nottt good. It ruins your oral health, takes away your appetite, speeds your heartbeat up, nausea, headaches, and so on. I get it, when I take it I can tell it’s “working” but 8+ hours later I start to feel crappy
As someone who had sever ADHD, and got aderall at 17 (now 24) it has completely transformed my life. I have held my job for 5 years as a manager, and have a girlfriend who I’m happy with. Do some cardio and. Watch your health, I wouldn’t change. It for anything.
Hey mate, awkward question, but does your medication give you ED? I’m hopefully going to be going on Adderall but worried that it might give me ED. Cheers.
People with ADHD have dopamine deficiencies in the brain. The constant mental chattering and lack of focus is a result of the brain trying to stimulate itself into having more "normal" levels of dopamine. A stimulant obviously raises dopamine, which has a speed-like effect in a neurotypical brain, but the right dose can actually have a CALMING effect on an ADHD brain.
I think Joe is kinda missing the point. Although he scored really well on the test, he only did so when time wasn't a factor. This indicated that he had trouble with staying focused and managing his time, which can actually be a real problem. I'm not saying Adderall doesn't get overprescribed, but I've met some people who clearly have issues with managing their time and attention, and it really disrupts their quality of life. It's not about how smart you are, it's about your ability to use your attention appropriately. Some people will know they need to get something important done, but then go off on a tangent for something completely unimportant and end up not doing the important thing.
Joe isn't a doctor and he doesn't know the studies, but they do over prescribed it. I remember being 6 or 7 and then getting prescribed that stuff, but it turns out I wasn't add ADHD I was bipolar
@@jimmymetal713 Bipolar and ADHD used to get misdiagnosed as the other. Likewise, General Practitioners tend to not stay up on their studies and mental health is making strides all the time. So, the real issue is doctors not understanding ADHD as well as the psychiatrists, neurologists or pediatricians. Some one with bi-polar is also going to react poorly to stimulants as the stimulants would trigger their mania.
Removing time constraints from a test allows individuals to work at their own pace, reducing anxiety and pressure. This freedom often enables a more thorough understanding of questions, leading to better responses. Without time limitations, individuals have the chance to think more critically, double-check their answers, and demonstrate a deeper comprehension of the material, resulting in potentially higher scores compared to when constrained by time.
I just want to be clear...my experience with Adderall has been a calming effect, not like speed or anything like that. I used to be all over the place, and unable to put my thoughts together. I can actually put my thoughts in compartments now, and think more clearly. I agree its not for everyone but has been a game changer for me...
its because in adhd, specifically hyperactive and super impulsive adhd, the circuits for inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity are linked. So if you activate one, you activate them all, if blunt one, you blunt the rest. If your nominal level of activity when overstimulated is well beyond that of what you would normally experience from the medication, then the net result is that the circuit is less active than it would othewise be.
same, my life was legitimately a shitshow and it really helps me think in a "linear" way with complex or time based tasks. now a software engineer after 3 years of dedication and structure (the meds aren't wholly the reason, they're just a great tool if your brain operates like this with time)
@@omega3fatass61Jeez bro that sounds amazing 😂 I’ve been all over the place since I can remember..! I can’t focus never extremely talented crazy hand-eye coordination I can run 8miles a day crazy workouts all that shit but I always feel exhausted and can’t never ever feel close to being energized like it’s fooked.. I’ve been looking into taking something to help me I could only imagine what I could accomplish with the right meds
I had no idea what ADHD was until I was like mid 20s. As soon as I heard about it I thought "yeah, I definitely have that". But I didn't bother doing anything about it because I didn't expect medication or anything else to help that much. Age 47 I finally got fed up with my own shit and got diagnosed. First day on adderall I felt like someone waking up from a 47 year coma.
Just don't do it everyday because once you get a tolerance you won't feel it at all. It would feel like how you felt before Adderall. Once a week at most.
@@sambear6079 I have noticed that nowadays if I forget to take it I won't notice I forgot because it no longer makes me feel different. BUT if I evaluate how I performed mentally at the end of the day it's still much better on days when I remembered to take it, even though it didn't make me feel different. I don't think there's any danger of getting addicted to it since I struggle to remember to take it.
As someone who has sever ADHD it isn’t an excuse it is real and honestly I hate to say it but I can’t live without it and be a functioning adult. You certainly can live without weed or alcohol and even psychedelics so I’m not entirely sure where Joe’s Priority’s are.
I’m the same way. I was diagnosed at 5 in now 35 and have been put on every adhd med on the market. I’m on Vyvanse now and without it I am all over the place. With these adhd med shortages, I have so much anxiety when my script is ready to fill. There’s no way I can perform at work at the level I do without it. It’s a hell of a thing to hinge being able to provide for your family on a single pill. Those who don’t have ADHD cannot begin to fathom what we go through.
Im too late. This comment is a year old but to anyone seeing this, don't do Adderall every day or else you'll eventually feel like you did before you ever took it. Do it once a week max. If you do take it multiple days in a row, take a long tolerance break so you can feel it again.
I find it very concerning when individuals misuse ADHD medication for recreational purposes without being diagnosed with ADHD. This is unfair to those who genuinely need the medication to improve their focus and concentration on daily tasks. The medication is intended to help people with ADHD feel normal and enable them to complete their daily activities with ease. It is not a substance to be used recreationally. Sadly, some people fail to understand this, leading to its misuse, which is highly frustrating.
@zmizzy I mean this interview is just total bullshit. Getting diagnosed adult adhd and getting my adderall medication changed my life. If this dude has a problem with psychoactive drugs SSRIs are the fucking devil.
pretty much, 80% of people respond to the first stimulant they find, and 90% of people will find a stimulant they are compatible with through trying different active ingredients and dosages. The answer really is as simple as "talk to your kid and provide them a stimulant they feel comfortable with, give them control over when they want to use it so they dont feel forced, and introduce them to management strategies and therapy
Which is why its important to introduce it as young as possible. So to the kid as they grow its like brushing teeth or wearing glasses. The idea of it as a recreational activity should be foreign and odd to them
Society needs to stop generalizing everyone and painting everyone with the same brush. There are some children with some forms of ADHD that need medication. That is a decision that should be made after extensive testing with a qualified specialist. Not all children need to be medicated, but making blanket statements that no children with ADHD should be medicated is unfair.
Got diagnosed with type3 adhd at 45. Put on concerta and ritalin. It was the 1st time i was ever able to prioritize and work through a 'to do' list. It doesnt resolve everything, i'm still unable to pay attention for more than 2mins in meetings but it has helped in many ways. I can only imagine how much less of a struggle life would have been had i been diagnosed as a kid.
Having issues with time and attention means you don’t get anything done, Joe. You set goals but don’t meet them. You commit to specific task completion, but then fall off and don’t complete any of them. If you need glasses, it’s because your opticular lens is abnormal. It doesn’t mean you’re dumb, it just means you need glasses to see better. Adderall for someone with ADHD helps them function better. We can sit and complete tasks without distraction. We have calm thoughts and become better listeners. There are so many benefits and you don’t feel like you are sub par
it really is like glasses in a lot of ways, but i think a major difference is that it doesnt simply fix all your problems. at the end of the day, you still have adhd and no matter what meds you take or how perfect they are for you, symptoms will still present. unlike glasses, therapy (in some form) is also required to understand how to operate with those meds if you want to be "20/20"
@@gaugea I think that analogy fits it well since (for me at least) all it does is bring me to like a baseline there was no euphoric effect or huge epiphany the only side effect I had was dry mouth so i just drank a little bit more water.
@@pppearr thats good. unfortunately i get a few annoying side effects (extremely low appetite, tunnel vision, tachycardia, increased anxiety) but i cant rly complain, its definitely well worth it
ehh, slowly building up habits sober and taking your time especially removing distractions seems way healthier than taking straight dopamine to get wired just to complete work. Health should be a priority not chemicals that alter your natural functioning ways. I get some people lack the chemicals in the brain or what not, but taking something everyday just to become dependant than one day have to get off it seems pointless and it seems to work better as a tool every so often. Nice to have around on a rainy day.
@@BLIVEit No. This has been shown over and over again to be the exact wrong way to treat ADHD, first priority is find a medication that works, THEN work on building habits and management strategy's through therapy, ADHD inherently means deficiency in some aspect of the reward circut, without medication you can teach a healthy habit as much as you want, the kid wont actually learn it
When I was prescribed adderall, I was excited thinking I would get so much done and be productive but in reality I feel like Stewie on that episode of family guy zoinked out like zombie
There is such a stigma in my family about ADHD, so only my sister knows I'm on Ritalin. I've struggled with weed for a long time, and since I'm actually diagnosed and taking the medicine, I feel so at peace and at ease. However, I sometimes still spiral out of control due to my earlier coping mechanisms. I've always thought it was BS: "It's normal to feel like this," "It's OK to be different," "I like my creativity." But now, I can actually put my mind into things and (many times) finish what I start. It still feels like a cheat code to life, to be honest. The only real confirmation for me is that the way I feel and act now is how I know my friends feel and act. I've felt so disorganized and like a failure sometimes. Even if my friends did the same things as me, I knew they were more focused. I thought I was just lazy and messy. I did always have moments of hyper-focus, which actually were very good for my career. But those moments, I think, were mostly because I self-medicated with weed. The focus could be there for 30 minutes, and then gone the next minute. Now, I'm steady. At first, I was a bit over-energized, but since the dosage was set and I've adjusted to it, it's very stable. Also, I'm a lot less introverted. The crazy thing is that I'm pretty sure my dad and both brothers have ADHD too, but they have different coping mechanisms. Alcohol for one of them, and excessive exercise for the others. I think that whenever somebody exercises, they will feel content afterward and have peace of mind for a moment. So actually, I think I'm maybe hacking my laziness. It is important to note that where i live we cannot get adderal, we have methylphenidate
I'm 39 and just diagnosed. Life until today had been so hard. Severe depression trauma but could never seem to get over it. Breakups were so so hard, being a mom was so so hard. I knewn I could do more but EVERYTHING was overwhelming!!!! Today I took the right dose of aderrall and I have never felt more normal and steady. My mind is quiet and I can actually focus and dread has left the room. I have severe adhd and I can't believe I have survived my entire life like this. I will say I am going to therapy and working on coping and getting the tools I need to battle this. But medication is something I will Probably need the rest of my life and that is okay our brains our wired differently.
As someone with severe adhd and went untreated for most of my life, this clip shows how ignorrant Joe Rogan is about things like adhd and adderall. Adhd is all about executive function developmemt and dopamine uptake issues. Stimulants help support our dopamine uptake so we can function more normal. Like glasses for the brain. We do not get the same negative effect that nuerotypical brains get from these drugs. If you don't gave adhd, then you have no idea why these drugs are crucial for our condition.
Exactly this. This narrative that adderall is poisoning the population is harmful to people that need this to get their dopamine up to other people’s base line… A quote from a friend that really helped me realize how BS this stigma is “if adderall is so addictive for me, than why do I forget to take it all the time” 😂 people who are walking around with ADHD have an entirely different chemical reaction happening in their brain than non-ADHD people, that’s why they’re prescribed it.
I do have severe ADHD and still agree with Rogan's view. Treating ADHD as a desease rather than a character trait is something I find irresponsible. In natural survival situations we people with ADHD would have a huge advantage. When I am looking at potential prey in front of me and from the back there is a bear coming, considering ME as prey, I WANT to be easily distracted. The thing is that our society developed into a direction where things that used to be strengths are not needed anymore and even seen as weaknesses. IMO people with ADHD are just less adapted to a sick society. Does that make us sick?
@@magnusfreebornnot quite, a small increase in Dopamine can increase motivation & enforce healthy habits under the right dose & under supervision. But a high dose may cause a high like destructive affect. Same as a sample of red wine might make you slightly relaxed but a full bottle could make you angry & violent. Dosage makes the poison.
@@cameroncroker2936 You’re getting high. That’s it. You don’t need speed or red wine to be more productive or focused. Lol. If you like getting high just say that, I’m not judging, I love snorting ketamine, but I don’t sugarcoat it like it somehow makes me better than I am when I’m sober. It makes life more fun. That’s it. Call it what it is. You’re not medicating shit other than mundanity of life.
I hate when people downplay adhd or just talk about the more “known” thing which is not staying focused & being hyper like that’s not the only things that come with adhd.. it’s so much more & it’s actually a dark side to it.
Exactly!!! It’s literally has a really dark side.. the attention part etc are the just the top of the iceberg. No one talks about the really dark side of it. Adhd is real and it’s not just about lacking focus etc.
Just did adderall for the first time today doctors prescription I have very bad adhd never admitted it to myself until I realized failing every class and not being able to do even a single assessment may not be normal I think it’s helping I’ve alway hated the idea of medication thought it’s the worst thing a person can do but I don’t feel I have a choice at this point.
I have severe ADHD, I used to feel exactly as you do. That is because misinformed general practitioners and general public don't understand ADHD and why stimulants help us. Stimulants help your dopamine uptake, which then regulates your focus and executive functions better. It won't remove all of your ADHD issues, but it will help with your ability to concentrate, control your impulsivity, and such. Stimulants are like glasses for your brain. Go look up videos from Dr. Russell Barkley, he is a leading ADHD expert and the knowledge he has out there is essential to learning how your ADHD brain functions.
@@somedudeonyoutube3737 ok I guess its not been some miracle cure but besides just feeling like a strong long lasting cup of coffee it kinda puts me in a mindset that makes me be able to work I used to have an all or noting kind of thinking like I wouldn’t be able to get a essay done because how can I write 5000 words in one sitting I look at the whole instead of just focusing on doing chunks I now seems just just not even think of the whole and just start working sometimes. I’ve had no overwhelming academic change though but many factors play into that like I’ve started a new job but thanks for asking hope this helps somehow.

@@homelessrobotand also I have bad adhd u can do ANYTHING but the amount of cortisol you release doing it or trying to, will give you at least schizophrenia in 5-10 years
Drugs should not be the first solution but it’s wrong to stigmatise it. I’ve recently been on it for ADHD after struggling through life and it feels like my life has changed. I’m now actually able to get up and go shower without first debating on if I should do it now or later then getting overwhelmed and not doing anything.
Medications are first line treatment due to their safety profile and efficacy. Unmedicated adhd has side effects and consequences that people seem to forget. Other interventions are great to try such as diet, exercise, social skills training, family education, mindfulness, but are less effective and can take much longer to occur, also require much more engagement long term from family/patient/child rather than the convenience of a pill or two a day which a timer can be set for
So I know this isn’t something to flaunt or be proud of Lmfao but I have BAD adhd and was put on adderall back in march. Literally changed my life, for the better, the constant inner monologue in my head is gone, the urgent need to always be doing or saying something is gone, the ability to sit and actually have a calm mind is finally with me
I firmly believe that smart drugs for adhd are made to help those with the disorder be able to function in society. Remember, ADHD is the difficulty to focus/complete tasks and that is exacerbated if the person isn’t interested in the task. So I do definitely stand by it if you’re doing tasks that you can care less about.
Sounds like a drug addict lol. I see the same people who say the same thing about opioids “they changed my life and made me not worry so much and feel like myself”
What a distasteful conversation. No talk about executive function, organization. Adderall has helped me in so many ways. Don’t scare people for getting help. Our brains are just different and typically speaking adhd folks are super creative and a a lot of people have it. It’s neurodivergence and that okay
I thought I had adhd although I didnt get checked but I can't focus well and for long, plus I can't retain information for long and Vyvanse does help with that I just would rather not take it everyday its quite addictive and life without it is so boring and mundane. I enjoy and am energized doing anything when I take a stimulant, but I don't want to lose control of usage, It seems more effective when taken as needed.
ADHD here, it's more than time and attention. like impulses get you in trouble and in life. YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR RESEARCH. Been an Adderall for 20years and it feels great not to have those issues and succeed.
I am undiagnosed/unprescribed, but sometimes I take it and it helps so much depending on what I need to focus on. But I enjoy my sleep too much to do it all the time.
When I got prescribed, the only way I could describe the experience of my first dose was like time slowed down to 1/2 speed. Everything felt quiet, I moved with intention, my anxiety was gone, and generally everything felt way less overwhelming. It genuinely changed my life. I thought I was going to end up losing my job with how unstable and incapable I was. ADHD is way, way more than just focus. It’s the emotional issues, the lack of motivation, the constant search for dopamine, avoiding or forgetting things that are extremely important to take care of as an adult, the list just goes on. I always struggled in school so it definitely made sense once I got that diagnosis at 27, and then actually getting medicated for it confirmed it all. It’s unfairly demonized IMO but that’s the way it goes when a drug is abused by people that don’t need it 🤷♀️ But there’s also just a lot of misconceptions on what ADHD actually is as Joe is exhibiting
*I'll recommend you to this mycologist who has been my guide on psychedelic for years now,dude gots all kinds of psychedelics in his store and ship discreetly to any location*
Hey, I just want to say that the reason they prescribe Adderall to children is because the dopamine and more epinephrine it releases into the body actually helps with the neuroplasticity in the brain. So if the child keeps taking enough Adderall with guidance from a doctor and is given the right supplementation and is closely monitored primarily by a psychiatrist than later on in life, they are likely to not need Adderall anymore. I wasn't fortunately taken off my medication to early and now have to take it as an adult. However, since I am under the age of 25, there may be a chance within the next few years that the neuroplasticity in my brain from development will allow me to not take Adderall in the future and still be functioning
Not saying I don’t believe you, but do you have a credible source? I am now taking adderall, and it doesn’t help me as much. I am an alcoholic pit head but I remember buying it from friends back in the day and back them I was still a big pot head but it worked WONDERS back then when I wasn’t prescribed it. I don’t think it’s a dosage issue I think it’s the fact that I take the adderall for granted and expect it to do all the work. I need to realize that it’s still all up to me to get up and go be productive. Back when I wasn’t prescribed the meds, focalin, adderall, and vyvance made me feel so good and I would get tons of homework done. I’d go for a walk or bike ride and the grass would be so green, the sky so blue, the air so crisp. It was pure bliss. I wouldn’t take a huge dose or anything just slightly above or at the starting dose for most people. Even when I got prescribed Ritalin at first and then vyvance it never hit the same. By the time my doc gave me adderall, it just didn’t do what it used to before I was prescribed it. I don’t even take it everyday, I just got my script refilled and I still have twenty, 20mg pills left so that would be 10 days worth since I’m prescribed twice daily as needed. I don’t take it everyday and when I do take it I rarely take the full 40mgs that I’m prescribed since I have hyper hydrosis so the adderall makes me sweat profusely. Not only is sweating a side effect of adderall but increased anxiety is also a side effect. I already have social anxiety, due to the fact that I got bullied for being an annoying hyper active kid when I was really little. I’m not as hyper active anymore but sometimes I still can be. Anyways, with my social anxiety I find that the sweating is what really makes me anxious. It’s sucks because I’ll get just slightly anxious, and then start sweating. I don’t even notice the anxiety before I start sweating but once I have noticeable pit stains I become really anxious which makes my anxiety SOO much worse which makes me sweat SOO much more. It’s a super vicious cycle that I cannot escape and adderall just makes that worse so I try to only take adderall when I’m studying alone or if I’m at school or work I only take it when I absolutely need to. Sorry if you read all of this I just had to vent. My life fucking sucks and it’s all my fault and I want to stop being a failure and it brings me so much anguish and I just wish I could be a productive person. Fuck man
I believe it may have worked for me. As I took it for 6 months as a teenager consistently, and then went off of it for good. I haven’t had trouble staying focused since. So maybe it worked, all I know is that while I was on it I felt like a complete zombie and would never have my kids take that drug.
Sometimes I feel like I have ADHD but the only thing is I have no problem sitting still also I don’t have a problem with fidgeting. But I do have a really bad problem with paying attention to anything. Also if I’m having a conversation, it’s very hard for me not to interrupt. I also forget and lose track of what I’m saying a lot.
First of all, ADD is no longer a term we use. Secondly, stimulant medications have been researched pretty heavily, and studies show that they may have little to no positive affect in people without ADHD. It seams that if anything, it may help very slightly with memory recal and creation. It can, however, keep you awake like caffeine, but a lot more powerful. The energy aspect is the main reason why people without ADHD may take the drug, if they need to pull an all night study session. T.l.d.r. if you have ADHD, stimulant medication can be a life changing treatment that can help with improving the control you have over your own mind and actions. But if you don't have ADHD, you're probably better off just drinking coffee or energy drinks.
People get offended when it is suggested that there should not be a bias towards medication. Wish people didnt identify with their diagnosis to the extent that they need drugs to cognitively survive
Dang dude. I think Joe Rogan typically doesn't interrupt quite this bad. But there were a few Times I was very interested in where the guest was going and Joe stopped him or interrupted.
Remember one day I was 16 and I was going through my medicine cabinet and I remembered that I always had Adderall because they had misdiagnosed me with ADHD and I knew when I took Adderall, I didn’t have ADHD because of the way affected me never forget and I was playing rainbow six siege in my room didn’t feel tired at all Just chilling there vaping😭
methamphetamine is a prescribed medication for children with adhd under Desoxyn... and Fentanyl is prescribed to people under extreme pain. they are useful, but use wisely
meth also causes the release of serotonin which makes it infinitely more neurotoxic and addictive in small doses, kind of like the difference inbetween ritalin (dopamine and norepinepherine reuptake inhibition) and cocaine (dopamine+norepenipherine+serotonin)
Its perfectly normal for a person to score higher on a test with out time constraints. Removing time constraints from a test allows individuals to work at their own pace, reducing anxiety and pressure.

@@durpledorekapre3991 it being helpful to you doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. Knives are very useful tools when applied correctly. And a good way to turn your hand into a bloody stump if you are careless.
2:00 Joe says "youre just a laid back, off the charts dude. isnt that okay?" unfortunately, in the current system of school grading, no. Being that way leads to low grades, which in turn ruins your future. Not bashing JRE, the best podcast host ever, its just i think he fails to understand what impact school has for people without celebrity status
Nah the misconception of Adderall is that people think they shouldn’t be prescribed it and it’s dangerous just because it’s an amphetamine just like meth. But if you are taking Adderall as prescribed you are fine, just don’t abuse it. Adderall saved my life. I was on the verge of suicide struggling with ADD couldn’t even get out of bed or even watch a tv show without rewinding every 5 seconds not knowing what they’re talking about. Now I have more focus than most people, and now it genuinely feels good to get up, walk, and live life, even breathing feels good. When I got prescribed i cleaned my room for the first time in over a year and only seen good from it
If you can function without Adderall then don’t take it but some people need it. And for the people who do genuinely need it, we truly love it 😂😂😂 I call them locked in pills because whenever I take em I get locked in, and you do NOT wanna be in a COD lobby with me after I take my Adderall I promise
My adhd makes me forgot that time is essential, therefore in testing and studying scenarios my mind is all over the place. Adderall helped keep me grounded.
I prescribed myself adderall. And I only take it when I’m video editing and professional competitions. Other than that, I don’t be on it. And I realized that it does enhance your focus, but it could really scare people away from you. Because if your already smarter, addy is just gona make you smarter. So your so far ahead of everybody else
Your rarely any smarter, might be sharp for the day, but the reality is the same way the drug helps you focus by makeing things feel more important, it also makes the things you *say* feel more important
@@jayjaychadoy9226 its not going to make you smarter in the "know things" sense, but it does make you sharper in figureing things out quickly and retaining and recalling information.
@@jayjaychadoy9226 like the decision making is better. And win I test it, it works. So I’m like 🤔. It makes you think quicker and come out with more precise decisions and solutions in my book
Adderal does the opposite of what you naturally are. If you’re laid back and calm, will make you hyper and super focused. If you’re already speedy and have ADHD it will make you feel calm and a sense of well being. I love it. I take 20mg a day and I can definitely see the difference
Adderall is the perfect drug for programmers that are not trying to be creative, but are trying to build something very technical. It is good for mathematics, where there are no ambiguities in answers and the goal is to break it down to its least common denominator. It is good for something like technical, legal writing. It is good for physical acumen, more energy. It is overall good for people that truly have ADHD/autism. It is not good for creativity. It can instill a false sense of greatness in this avenue, where upon further look, the work is often mediocre, if not subpar. Adderall, in general, is good for a person that really needs it. It is terrible drug to use regularly, and even worse if the person taking it does not need it.
Agreed, great tool for when something repetitive or something that requires thinking, or even while recreational gaming but if you are trying to create something new or think out of the box, it can definitely affect your ego and inflate it til you look foolish. Even if you take too much before a social setting, you may become agitating or just over confident, or god forbid aggressive :0
I was like Joe and wanted to see how Adderall effected me, and I had the complete opposite affect where I became unnaturally fatigued, I was sort of pissed that the drug had a complete opposite effect. Apparently this is the common trait for someone who has ADHD, Adderall does not make them amped up. And it has nothing to with motivation, so if you have nothing to do while on Adderall you'll find yourself quite frustrated with the drug.
I was prescribed it at 12 years old. It was brand new then in the 90s! i didn't know what it was til later in life. Rn I'll take 30mgs and be calm and focused !
I was put on adderal as a kid horror followed im 39 sober clean bye grace of God survived prisons...my whole life locked up i was a pot head theyd give me prison for it then force me on pills
I feel like I’ve always had ADHD, but I’ve never thought about Adderall until recently with my work. It is really hard to stay focused with the repetitive task I do all day. Weed helps me with these tasks, but I cannot smoke anymore. Months ago when I was in the doctors office I mentioned I may have ADHD and they pretty much brushed it off. What do I do here? I’ve never tried Adderall before, but I want to just see if it would help my day to day.
Adderall helps but its super easy to get carried away with it. My work ethic and productivity increased SIGNIFICANTLY. i liked the euphoric effects too much and would be poppin 6-8 30mg pills a day. Smfh

I'm seriously considering trying this because I'm so ADHD. I can't even type right. Just now my phone beeped had to think real hard what I was just doing (literally typing this very sentence). I am going to talk to my doctor obviously and do it legit but I'm also pretty sure I have autism. I did like three different online tests now and nearly maxed them all out.
bro no one is trusting your random ass drug dealer, yeah phycadelics can be really postive but not if they are laced with pcp like and fet like yours is@CostomiseJames
I had a buddy that was prescribed adderall as a teen and he became extremely addicted with some really bad mental side effects. Pretty much ruined his life for a long time.
It's great for being productive but after a while, it's nice to have peace and slow down. Not to mention the horrible mental state you will be left with such as manic episodes or paranoia through long term use or abuse. Better as a tool for boring and repetitive tasks that require your attention for multiple hours, studying, and maybe partying lol. Although it seems gamers love it too XD.
As a kid that was medically diagnosed with adhd. Adderall when I actually took it as a 10+ year old all it did was make me zone out everything but what my tasks were (classwork). Iv always been curious about my friends who took it but didn't have adhd cause they would say they got "high" of it 😅 I never had that experience
It makes them feel like Superman, like they are guaranteed to succeed in anything that attempt, they feel overwhelmingly confident and their words flow outta their mouth before they even think of them. Time feels slowed and whatever they are currently doing becomes the whole of their world, some say they gain a level of clarity that makes realty go from looking like 1080 to 4K, their energy seem unlimited, and their a lightness to their bodies. (This is some of the descriptors I got from friends, I like you do not experience the effects at normal dosages)
*I'll recommend you to this mycologist who has been my guide on psychedelic for years now,dude gots all kinds of psychedelics in his store and ship discreetly to any location*
I do significantly better on tests without time limits. My IQ is pretty high but not as high as it could be because I score low on processing speed. My brain is slow. They thought I had ADHD and so put me on few different medicines and nothing helped. They eventually put me on Adderall and it did nothing for me. They kept upping the dosage and nothing changed. I even tried doubling the the highest dosage (on my own) and still nothing. I tripled the dosage and finally took 4 times the highest dosage just to see if it would do anything and nothing. I was speaking faster but I think it was just because I had extra adrenalin pumping knowing that I just took 4 times the dosage all at once. I was so hopeful but nothing. I'm glad others found help with Adderall but I'm still stuck. I'm 54 years old and can't wait until I retire in 8 years because work absolutely SUCKS.
It is important to be cautious, but Rogan seems anti-medication when he states, "Thank god your mom stepped in" in opposition to getting the prescription, it seems like he immediately assumes only the worse and doesn't even consider the alternative, that it would be beneficial.
Because you're literally taking a low dose of speed. If you keep taking it you'll always need a stronger dose because your brain gets used to it. Over time your dose is gonna get stronger and stronger to the point where you'll start acting like a crackhead. In the long run adderall makes you cracked out
I took a lot of Adderall in high school. Took it on the college exams and scored like 21 out of 36 on the SAT or whatever its called. Pretty bad. It was timed though too. Timed testing is stupid and a horrible way to test someones intelligence

Mental clarity is something i have never experienced, until taking adderall, 20 years unmedicated, the difference is insane.
Lol. Same with alcohol but I ain't taking that on the reg
32 here, the first time I had it I almost cried
Yes it's incredible!!! Changed my life. just lookup a online doctor in your ZIP code they will help you get what you need
Having ADHD, Adderall has helped me so much you wouldn't even understand. My life was rotting before i found out i had ADHD. Because i was thinking im just lazy and a loser because i wasn't like everyone else.
Bro same
okay, but is it worth it in the long-run?
@zmizzy ADD is one of the most crippling things you can have if it’s really bad. You literally can know what you have to do in life but can’t do it. Everyone will call you lazy and “you just aren’t trying” but your body runs off of brain chemicals and if you don’t get dopamine you can’t do anything that requires effort, at all. There’s no motivation to do anything. I got to the point where I realized I didn’t like conversation with people because it didn’t feel good, but it did for everyone else. People overlook things like ADD and think it’s no big deal. It’s life crippling and one of the worst things you can have.
@zmizzy yes. Adhd is linked with a 3 fold risk of developing dementia, and stimulants are shown to remove that risk. Also, adhd reduces your lifespan on average by over 10 years due to unhealthy choices and stress. Adderall removes those risks as well. So if anything, adderall may lead to a longer and healthier life.
@@exnecross3141 Yeah and constant use of amphetamines is linked to increased risk of parkinsons
They did the same to me, talked to a therapist and taken the assessments, score genius level at 11 years old. But I also suffered from undiagnosed ADHD, and spent my life in a miserable condition of being smart but not able to use it to any benefit because I couldn’t focus. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 36, and the medication made my life go to easy mode. I’m productive and calmer, I can think about what I am doing, and not be distracted by every little thing around me, I can assess what is going on around me and respond in minutes instead of hours. It’s a great thing when you need it, I don’t recommend taking it if you’re “normal”.
This part!!
100% brother
dude, its like you are me, but i am thirty three, recently diagnosed. one thing i noticed, taking ritalin daily, is that i plan much more ahead and i am calmer, playing the drums nearly every day now, less yelling and weird outbreaks. this is huge contrast to alcohol which makes one even more stuck in the here and now and since i take ritalin alcohol consumption is almost zero, also i stopped smoking cigarettes. but to be able to focus on the future is the big win for me. i am very glad this works for me.
@@bufferjoetommas good luck man.
Have been diagnosed with the same and on and off of medication for most of my teen/adult life… whether I need it or not the side effects are not worth it. I hated the way I felt physically and mentally when taking said medication. I swear it’s like speed and at high doses nottt good. It ruins your oral health, takes away your appetite, speeds your heartbeat up, nausea, headaches, and so on. I get it, when I take it I can tell it’s “working” but 8+ hours later I start to feel crappy
Please do a video on liteflake their adderall is top tier you said you were going to do one last month but never did it.
As someone who had sever ADHD, and got aderall at 17 (now 24) it has completely transformed my life. I have held my job for 5 years as a manager, and have a girlfriend who I’m happy with. Do some cardio and. Watch your health, I wouldn’t change. It for anything.
Hey mate, awkward question, but does your medication give you ED? I’m hopefully going to be going on Adderall but worried that it might give me ED.
Cheers.
People with ADHD have dopamine deficiencies in the brain. The constant mental chattering and lack of focus is a result of the brain trying to stimulate itself into having more "normal" levels of dopamine. A stimulant obviously raises dopamine, which has a speed-like effect in a neurotypical brain, but the right dose can actually have a CALMING effect on an ADHD brain.
Yup your right if u have ADHD its not gonna make you hyper it actually makes u calm
The mental chattering part really resonates 😂
You junkies just love being on drugs cause u don't do sh with the lives u were given.
This
Velvet bean. Lava dopa. precursor to dopamine
I think Joe is kinda missing the point. Although he scored really well on the test, he only did so when time wasn't a factor. This indicated that he had trouble with staying focused and managing his time, which can actually be a real problem. I'm not saying Adderall doesn't get overprescribed, but I've met some people who clearly have issues with managing their time and attention, and it really disrupts their quality of life. It's not about how smart you are, it's about your ability to use your attention appropriately. Some people will know they need to get something important done, but then go off on a tangent for something completely unimportant and end up not doing the important thing.
Joe isn't a doctor and he doesn't know the studies, but they do over prescribed it. I remember being 6 or 7 and then getting prescribed that stuff, but it turns out I wasn't add ADHD I was bipolar
@@jimmymetal713 Bipolar and ADHD used to get misdiagnosed as the other. Likewise, General Practitioners tend to not stay up on their studies and mental health is making strides all the time. So, the real issue is doctors not understanding ADHD as well as the psychiatrists, neurologists or pediatricians. Some one with bi-polar is also going to react poorly to stimulants as the stimulants would trigger their mania.
Of course he missed the point. Joe uses conspiracy theories, he doesn't know how to critically think.
I remember the drug that helped me best on any mental task was percocet.
Removing time constraints from a test allows individuals to work at their own pace, reducing anxiety and pressure. This freedom often enables a more thorough understanding of questions, leading to better responses. Without time limitations, individuals have the chance to think more critically, double-check their answers, and demonstrate a deeper comprehension of the material, resulting in potentially higher scores compared to when constrained by time.
I just want to be clear...my experience with Adderall has been a calming effect, not like speed or anything like that. I used to be all over the place, and unable to put my thoughts together. I can actually put my thoughts in compartments now, and think more clearly. I agree its not for everyone but has been a game changer for me...
its because in adhd, specifically hyperactive and super impulsive adhd, the circuits for inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity are linked. So if you activate one, you activate them all, if blunt one, you blunt the rest. If your nominal level of activity when overstimulated is well beyond that of what you would normally experience from the medication, then the net result is that the circuit is less active than it would othewise be.
Its chemical that will kill your system inside out
....for now
same, my life was legitimately a shitshow and it really helps me think in a "linear" way with complex or time based tasks. now a software engineer after 3 years of dedication and structure (the meds aren't wholly the reason, they're just a great tool if your brain operates like this with time)
@@omega3fatass61Jeez bro that sounds amazing 😂 I’ve been all over the place since I can remember..! I can’t focus never extremely talented crazy hand-eye coordination I can run 8miles a day crazy workouts all that shit but I always feel exhausted and can’t never ever feel close to being energized like it’s fooked.. I’ve been looking into taking something to help me I could only imagine what I could accomplish with the right meds
Adderall has helped me alot and i just started taking it at 51. What a difference it has made in my life.
I had no idea what ADHD was until I was like mid 20s. As soon as I heard about it I thought "yeah, I definitely have that". But I didn't bother doing anything about it because I didn't expect medication or anything else to help that much. Age 47 I finally got fed up with my own shit and got diagnosed. First day on adderall I felt like someone waking up from a 47 year coma.
Did u went to a doctor? How did u know about dosage use?
Because your doc literally gave you speed
Just don't do it everyday because once you get a tolerance you won't feel it at all. It would feel like how you felt before Adderall. Once a week at most.
@@sambear6079 I have noticed that nowadays if I forget to take it I won't notice I forgot because it no longer makes me feel different. BUT if I evaluate how I performed mentally at the end of the day it's still much better on days when I remembered to take it, even though it didn't make me feel different. I don't think there's any danger of getting addicted to it since I struggle to remember to take it.
@@sambear6079 yeah thats not true

As someone who has sever ADHD it isn’t an excuse it is real and honestly I hate to say it but I can’t live without it and be a functioning adult. You certainly
can live without weed or alcohol and even psychedelics so I’m not entirely sure where Joe’s Priority’s are.
I’m the same way. I was diagnosed at 5 in now 35 and have been put on every adhd med on the market. I’m on Vyvanse now and without it I am all over the place. With these adhd med shortages, I have so much anxiety when my script is ready to fill. There’s no way I can perform at work at the level I do without it. It’s a hell of a thing to hinge being able to provide for your family on a single pill. Those who don’t have ADHD cannot begin to fathom what we go through.
Key words YOU can’t. U clearly don’t know how to raise ur dopamine levels in other ways besides using that pill
Im too late. This comment is a year old but to anyone seeing this, don't do Adderall every day or else you'll eventually feel like you did before you ever took it. Do it once a week max. If you do take it multiple days in a row, take a long tolerance break so you can feel it again.
@ absolutely agree. NEVER up the dosage
I find it very concerning when individuals misuse ADHD medication for recreational purposes without being diagnosed with ADHD. This is unfair to those who genuinely need the medication to improve their focus and concentration on daily tasks. The medication is intended to help people with ADHD feel normal and enable them to complete their daily activities with ease. It is not a substance to be used recreationally. Sadly, some people fail to understand this, leading to its misuse, which is highly frustrating.
Adderall allows me to connect to the task at hand without having to worry about distraction’s
@@stavrosferedinos584 that’s what speed does…
ADHD is the most treatable mental "illness" out of any of them and yet the least treated.
lol fake news is my fav
@zmizzy I mean this interview is just total bullshit. Getting diagnosed adult adhd and getting my adderall medication changed my life. If this dude has a problem with psychoactive drugs SSRIs are the fucking devil.
pretty much, 80% of people respond to the first stimulant they find, and 90% of people will find a stimulant they are compatible with through trying different active ingredients and dosages.
The answer really is as simple as "talk to your kid and provide them a stimulant they feel comfortable with, give them control over when they want to use it so they dont feel forced, and introduce them to management strategies and therapy
Everyone Ik who does that ends up for the better liteflake got the best addys
it is INCREDIBLY dangerous to not treat ADHD, but not very dangerous to take it as prescribed if the dosing is done with care.
Which is why its important to introduce it as young as possible. So to the kid as they grow its like brushing teeth or wearing glasses. The idea of it as a recreational activity should be foreign and odd to them
Society needs to stop generalizing everyone and painting everyone with the same brush. There are some children with some forms of ADHD that need medication. That is a decision that should be made after extensive testing with a qualified specialist. Not all children need to be medicated, but making blanket statements that no children with ADHD should be medicated is unfair.
Joes blazed outta his mind 😂
Deadass
I'm 43 was just diagnosed ADHD. 2 days on Adderall er 10mg once daily. I haven't slept and am not hungry. 😮
Got diagnosed with type3 adhd at 45. Put on concerta and ritalin. It was the 1st time i was ever able to prioritize and work through a 'to do' list. It doesnt resolve everything, i'm still unable to pay attention for more than 2mins in meetings but it has helped in many ways. I can only imagine how much less of a struggle life would have been had i been diagnosed as a kid.
Having issues with time and attention means you don’t get anything done, Joe. You set goals but don’t meet them. You commit to specific task completion, but then fall off and don’t complete any of them. If you need glasses, it’s because your opticular lens is abnormal. It doesn’t mean you’re dumb, it just means you need glasses to see better. Adderall for someone with ADHD helps them function better. We can sit and complete tasks without distraction. We have calm thoughts and become better listeners. There are so many benefits and you don’t feel like you are sub par
it really is like glasses in a lot of ways, but i think a major difference is that it doesnt simply fix all your problems. at the end of the day, you still have adhd and no matter what meds you take or how perfect they are for you, symptoms will still present. unlike glasses, therapy (in some form) is also required to understand how to operate with those meds if you want to be "20/20"
@@gaugea I think that analogy fits it well since (for me at least) all it does is bring me to like a baseline there was no euphoric effect or huge epiphany the only side effect I had was dry mouth so i just drank a little bit more water.
@@pppearr thats good. unfortunately i get a few annoying side effects (extremely low appetite, tunnel vision, tachycardia, increased anxiety) but i cant rly complain, its definitely well worth it
ehh, slowly building up habits sober and taking your time especially removing distractions seems way healthier than taking straight dopamine to get wired just to complete work. Health should be a priority not chemicals that alter your natural functioning ways. I get some people lack the chemicals in the brain or what not, but taking something everyday just to become dependant than one day have to get off it seems pointless and it seems to work better as a tool every so often. Nice to have around on a rainy day.
@@BLIVEit No. This has been shown over and over again to be the exact wrong way to treat ADHD, first priority is find a medication that works, THEN work on building habits and management strategy's through therapy, ADHD inherently means deficiency in some aspect of the reward circut, without medication you can teach a healthy habit as much as you want, the kid wont actually learn it
When I was prescribed adderall, I was excited thinking I would get so much done and be productive but in reality I feel like Stewie on that episode of family guy zoinked out like zombie
This is so off please get a someone who understands what an executive function disorder is
There is such a stigma in my family about ADHD, so only my sister knows I'm on Ritalin. I've struggled with weed for a long time, and since I'm actually diagnosed and taking the medicine, I feel so at peace and at ease. However, I sometimes still spiral out of control due to my earlier coping mechanisms. I've always thought it was BS: "It's normal to feel like this," "It's OK to be different," "I like my creativity." But now, I can actually put my mind into things and (many times) finish what I start. It still feels like a cheat code to life, to be honest.
The only real confirmation for me is that the way I feel and act now is how I know my friends feel and act. I've felt so disorganized and like a failure sometimes. Even if my friends did the same things as me, I knew they were more focused. I thought I was just lazy and messy. I did always have moments of hyper-focus, which actually were very good for my career. But those moments, I think, were mostly because I self-medicated with weed. The focus could be there for 30 minutes, and then gone the next minute. Now, I'm steady. At first, I was a bit over-energized, but since the dosage was set and I've adjusted to it, it's very stable. Also, I'm a lot less introverted.
The crazy thing is that I'm pretty sure my dad and both brothers have ADHD too, but they have different coping mechanisms. Alcohol for one of them, and excessive exercise for the others. I think that whenever somebody exercises, they will feel content afterward and have peace of mind for a moment. So actually, I think I'm maybe hacking my laziness.
It is important to note that where i live we cannot get adderal, we have methylphenidate
Not so hard to guess, you must be living in a country, where the good stuff, that is, certainly benefical to it's people is banned by the
holy REiS
I'm 39 and just diagnosed. Life until today had been so hard. Severe depression trauma but could never seem to get over it. Breakups were so so hard, being a mom was so so hard. I knewn I could do more but EVERYTHING was overwhelming!!!! Today I took the right dose of aderrall and I have never felt more normal and steady. My mind is quiet and I can actually focus and dread has left the room.
I have severe adhd and I can't believe I have survived my entire life like this.
I will say I am going to therapy and working on coping and getting the tools I need to battle this. But medication is something I will
Probably need the rest of my life and that is okay our brains our wired differently.
As someone with severe adhd and went untreated for most of my life, this clip shows how ignorrant Joe Rogan is about things like adhd and adderall. Adhd is all about executive function developmemt and dopamine uptake issues. Stimulants help support our dopamine uptake so we can function more normal. Like glasses for the brain. We do not get the same negative effect that nuerotypical brains get from these drugs. If you don't gave adhd, then you have no idea why these drugs are crucial for our condition.
Exactly this. This narrative that adderall is poisoning the population is harmful to people that need this to get their dopamine up to other people’s base line…
A quote from a friend that really helped me realize how BS this stigma is “if adderall is so addictive for me, than why do I forget to take it all the time” 😂 people who are walking around with ADHD have an entirely different chemical reaction happening in their brain than non-ADHD people, that’s why they’re prescribed it.
I do have severe ADHD and still agree with Rogan's view. Treating ADHD as a desease rather than a character trait is something I find irresponsible. In natural survival situations we people with ADHD would have a huge advantage. When I am looking at potential prey in front of me and from the back there is a bear coming, considering ME as prey, I WANT to be easily distracted. The thing is that our society developed into a direction where things that used to be strengths are not needed anymore and even seen as weaknesses. IMO people with ADHD are just less adapted to a sick society. Does that make us sick?
You’re just getting high on speed. Don’t delude yourself.
@@magnusfreebornnot quite, a small increase in Dopamine can increase motivation & enforce healthy habits under the right dose & under supervision. But a high dose may cause a high like destructive affect. Same as a sample of red wine might make you slightly relaxed but a full bottle could make you angry & violent. Dosage makes the poison.
@@cameroncroker2936 You’re getting high. That’s it. You don’t need speed or red wine to be more productive or focused. Lol. If you like getting high just say that, I’m not judging, I love snorting ketamine, but I don’t sugarcoat it like it somehow makes me better than I am when I’m sober. It makes life more fun. That’s it. Call it what it is. You’re not medicating shit other than mundanity of life.
I hate when people downplay adhd or just talk about the more “known” thing which is not staying focused & being hyper like that’s not the only things that come with adhd.. it’s so much more & it’s actually a dark side to it.
Bro Rogan is an idiot speaking out of his realm of understanding. At least he owns it, I guess.
Exactly!!! It’s literally has a really dark side.. the attention part etc are the just the top of the iceberg. No one talks about the really dark side of it. Adhd is real and it’s not just about lacking focus etc.
@@aquariuslight1907 RIGHT!!
Agree. The idiots in here attacking us are spreading hurtful misinformation. Adhd is severely misunderstood.
Because people abuse adderall and it's so easily prescribed. When you abuse it, you fully go insane. Stimulant induced psychosis is no joke.
Just did adderall for the first time today doctors prescription I have very bad adhd never admitted it to myself until I realized failing every class and not being able to do even a single assessment may not be normal I think it’s helping I’ve alway hated the idea of medication thought it’s the worst thing a person can do but I don’t feel I have a choice at this point.
I have severe ADHD, I used to feel exactly as you do. That is because misinformed general practitioners and general public don't understand ADHD and why stimulants help us. Stimulants help your dopamine uptake, which then regulates your focus and executive functions better. It won't remove all of your ADHD issues, but it will help with your ability to concentrate, control your impulsivity, and such. Stimulants are like glasses for your brain. Go look up videos from Dr. Russell Barkley, he is a leading ADHD expert and the knowledge he has out there is essential to learning how your ADHD brain functions.
Nice how has it been effecting u since ?
@@somedudeonyoutube3737 ok I guess its not been some miracle cure but besides just feeling like a strong long lasting cup of coffee it kinda puts me in a mindset that makes me be able to work I used to have an all or noting kind of thinking like I wouldn’t be able to get a essay done because how can I write 5000 words in one sitting I look at the whole instead of just focusing on doing chunks I now seems just just not even think of the whole and just start working sometimes. I’ve had no overwhelming academic change though but many factors play into that like I’ve started a new job but thanks for asking hope this helps somehow.
Have you considered that you don't exercise regularly and your diet is garbage, and that is why your brain can't operate?
Adhd is not just about failing in school. Y'all lose credibility the moment you mention school, class, or autism
Removing time constraints from a test allows individuals to work at their own pace, reducing anxiety and pressure. This freedom often enables a more thorough understanding of questions, leading to better responses. Without time limitations, individuals have the chance to think more critically, double-check their answers, and demonstrate a deeper comprehension of the material, resulting in potentially higher scores compared to when constrained by time.
I was never able to read a book until I started taking adderall. If you don’t have ADD, then shhhhh…. You won’t understand.
Well that isn't entirely true. You could understand if you don't have ADHD, you'd just have to also read that book :P
That’s pathetic
@@homelessrobotand also I have bad adhd u can do ANYTHING but the amount of cortisol you release doing it or trying to, will give you at least schizophrenia in 5-10 years
Drugs should not be the first solution but it’s wrong to stigmatise it. I’ve recently been on it for ADHD after struggling through life and it feels like my life has changed. I’m now actually able to get up and go shower without first debating on if I should do it now or later then getting overwhelmed and not doing anything.
Wow i didn't realize the severity of excuses junkie loosers give themselves for continue staying high
exactly
Medications are first line treatment due to their safety profile and efficacy. Unmedicated adhd has side effects and consequences that people seem to forget. Other interventions are great to try such as diet, exercise, social skills training, family education, mindfulness, but are less effective and can take much longer to occur, also require much more engagement long term from family/patient/child rather than the convenience of a pill or two a day which a timer can be set for
So I know this isn’t something to flaunt or be proud of Lmfao but I have BAD adhd and was put on adderall back in march. Literally changed my life, for the better, the constant inner monologue in my head is gone, the urgent need to always be doing or saying something is gone, the ability to sit and actually have a calm mind is finally with me
joe is so baked wtf
Yeah I noticed it the first minute and immediately looked in the comments to see if only I saw it 🤣🤣🤣.
Joe's ready for liftoff 🚀
Its like a much dank edit
lmfaooo I was looking for this comment 😂
I firmly believe that smart drugs for adhd are made to help those with the disorder be able to function in society. Remember, ADHD is the difficulty to focus/complete tasks and that is exacerbated if the person isn’t interested in the task.
So I do definitely stand by it if you’re doing tasks that you can care less about.
I wish i had it as a kid; my life would have been so much better! Had no idea the difference it made until I tried it.

What a distasteful conversation. No talk about executive function, organization. Adderall has helped me in so many ways.
Don’t scare people for getting help. Our brains are just different and typically speaking adhd folks are super creative and a a lot of people have it. It’s neurodivergence and that okay
I thought I had adhd although I didnt get checked but I can't focus well and for long, plus I can't retain information for long and Vyvanse does help with that I just would rather not take it everyday its quite addictive and life without it is so boring and mundane. I enjoy and am energized doing anything when I take a stimulant, but I don't want to lose control of usage, It seems more effective when taken as needed.
Joe was lit in this bruh
He sometimes looked like the character in The Shining, Jack Nicolson.

ADHD here, it's more than time and attention. like impulses get you in trouble and in life. YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR RESEARCH. Been an Adderall for 20years and it feels great not to have those issues and succeed.
Cope
@@iiPsychotic with what? doing well?
I am undiagnosed/unprescribed, but sometimes I take it and it helps so much depending on what I need to focus on. But I enjoy my sleep too much to do it all the time.
Diagnosed with adult adhd. On Adderall for 2 days, 10mg, but it's not making me focused or hyperfocused. I'll give it some time.
Did it help with your focus?
You'll pleazzee give them to me.. makes me ubermenscht
When I got prescribed, the only way I could describe the experience of my first dose was like time slowed down to 1/2 speed. Everything felt quiet, I moved with intention, my anxiety was gone, and generally everything felt way less overwhelming. It genuinely changed my life.
I thought I was going to end up losing my job with how unstable and incapable I was. ADHD is way, way more than just focus. It’s the emotional issues, the lack of motivation, the constant search for dopamine, avoiding or forgetting things that are extremely important to take care of as an adult, the list just goes on. I always struggled in school so it definitely made sense once I got that diagnosis at 27, and then actually getting medicated for it confirmed it all.
It’s unfairly demonized IMO but that’s the way it goes when a drug is abused by people that don’t need it 🤷♀️ But there’s also just a lot of misconceptions on what ADHD actually is as Joe is exhibiting

Joe is high as fuck in this clip
He’s quite frightening, isn’t he.
Hey, I just want to say that the reason they prescribe Adderall to children is because the dopamine and more epinephrine it releases into the body actually helps with the neuroplasticity in the brain. So if the child keeps taking enough Adderall with guidance from a doctor and is given the right supplementation and is closely monitored primarily by a psychiatrist than later on in life, they are likely to not need Adderall anymore. I wasn't fortunately taken off my medication to early and now have to take it as an adult. However, since I am under the age of 25, there may be a chance within the next few years that the neuroplasticity in my brain from development will allow me to not take Adderall in the future and still be functioning
My bullshit allert was triggered on this dude
Not saying I don’t believe you, but do you have a credible source? I am now taking adderall, and it doesn’t help me as much. I am an alcoholic pit head but I remember buying it from friends back in the day and back them I was still a big pot head but it worked WONDERS back then when I wasn’t prescribed it. I don’t think it’s a dosage issue I think it’s the fact that I take the adderall for granted and expect it to do all the work. I need to realize that it’s still all up to me to get up and go be productive. Back when I wasn’t prescribed the meds, focalin, adderall, and vyvance made me feel so good and I would get tons of homework done. I’d go for a walk or bike ride and the grass would be so green, the sky so blue, the air so crisp. It was pure bliss. I wouldn’t take a huge dose or anything just slightly above or at the starting dose for most people. Even when I got prescribed Ritalin at first and then vyvance it never hit the same. By the time my doc gave me adderall, it just didn’t do what it used to before I was prescribed it. I don’t even take it everyday, I just got my script refilled and I still have twenty, 20mg pills left so that would be 10 days worth since I’m prescribed twice daily as needed. I don’t take it everyday and when I do take it I rarely take the full 40mgs that I’m prescribed since I have hyper hydrosis so the adderall makes me sweat profusely. Not only is sweating a side effect of adderall but increased anxiety is also a side effect. I already have social anxiety, due to the fact that I got bullied for being an annoying hyper active kid when I was really little. I’m not as hyper active anymore but sometimes I still can be. Anyways, with my social anxiety I find that the sweating is what really makes me anxious. It’s sucks because I’ll get just slightly anxious, and then start sweating. I don’t even notice the anxiety before I start sweating but once I have noticeable pit stains I become really anxious which makes my anxiety SOO much worse which makes me sweat SOO much more. It’s a super vicious cycle that I cannot escape and adderall just makes that worse so I try to only take adderall when I’m studying alone or if I’m at school or work I only take it when I absolutely need to. Sorry if you read all of this I just had to vent. My life fucking sucks and it’s all my fault and I want to stop being a failure and it brings me so much anguish and I just wish I could be a productive person. Fuck man
Neuroplasticity doesn’t end at 25, even neurogenesis probably doesn’t either. Ya it’s higher at younger ages but still so what?
How many excuses can i come up with for being a junkie ? - yes
I believe it may have worked for me. As I took it for 6 months as a teenager consistently, and then went off of it for good. I haven’t had trouble staying focused since. So maybe it worked, all I know is that while I was on it I felt like a complete zombie and would never have my kids take that drug.
Sometimes I feel like I have ADHD but the only thing is I have no problem sitting still also I don’t have a problem with fidgeting. But I do have a really bad problem with paying attention to anything. Also if I’m having a conversation, it’s very hard for me not to interrupt. I also forget and lose track of what I’m saying a lot.
First of all, ADD is no longer a term we use. Secondly, stimulant medications have been researched pretty heavily, and studies show that they may have little to no positive affect in people without ADHD. It seams that if anything, it may help very slightly with memory recal and creation. It can, however, keep you awake like caffeine, but a lot more powerful. The energy aspect is the main reason why people without ADHD may take the drug, if they need to pull an all night study session. T.l.d.r. if you have ADHD, stimulant medication can be a life changing treatment that can help with improving the control you have over your own mind and actions. But if you don't have ADHD, you're probably better off just drinking coffee or energy drinks.
People get offended when it is suggested that there should not be a bias towards medication. Wish people didnt identify with their diagnosis to the extent that they need drugs to cognitively survive
Dang dude. I think Joe Rogan typically doesn't interrupt quite this bad. But there were a few Times I was very interested in where the guest was going and Joe stopped him or interrupted.
Remember one day I was 16 and I was going through my medicine cabinet and I remembered that I always had Adderall because they had misdiagnosed me with ADHD and I knew when I took Adderall, I didn’t have ADHD because of the way affected me never forget and I was playing rainbow six siege in my room didn’t feel tired at all Just chilling there vaping😭
Methamphetamine and adderall have the same mechanism of action. Let that sink in.
methamphetamine is a prescribed medication for children with adhd under Desoxyn... and Fentanyl is prescribed to people under extreme pain. they are useful, but use wisely
meth also causes the release of serotonin which makes it infinitely more neurotoxic and addictive in small doses, kind of like the difference inbetween ritalin (dopamine and norepinepherine reuptake inhibition) and cocaine (dopamine+norepenipherine+serotonin)
Its perfectly normal for a person to score higher on a test with out time constraints. Removing time constraints from a test allows individuals to work at their own pace, reducing anxiety and pressure. This freedom often enables a more thorough understanding of questions, leading to better responses. Without time limitations, individuals have the chance to think more critically, double check their answers, and demonstrate a deeper comprehension of the material, resulting in potentially higher scores compared to when constrained by time.
But it was a test to see if he had above average IQ, not everyone would score well or way better on that kind of test
Joe is smart, it is good and it is dangerous.
No its not its very helpful for me
It also helps me stay off hard drugs ive done in the past
@@durpledorekapre3991 it being helpful to you doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. Knives are very useful tools when applied correctly. And a good way to turn your hand into a bloody stump if you are careless.
@@homelessrobotcomparison of apples to oranges doesn't make your statement correct
Bro, why does Joe sound like he's making a lewd phone call?
2:00 Joe says "youre just a laid back, off the charts dude. isnt that okay?" unfortunately, in the current system of school grading, no. Being that way leads to low grades, which in turn ruins your future. Not bashing JRE, the best podcast host ever, its just i think he fails to understand what impact school has for people without celebrity status
It not gonna 'ruin your life". The overdramatizing, you just defensive over your drug use
To be honest the way joe is acting is making me feel like he is high on speed or coke
he’s literally on some kind of downer. the exact opposite of speed or coke
Nah the misconception of Adderall is that people think they shouldn’t be prescribed it and it’s dangerous just because it’s an amphetamine just like meth. But if you are taking Adderall as prescribed you are fine, just don’t abuse it. Adderall saved my life. I was on the verge of suicide struggling with ADD couldn’t even get out of bed or even watch a tv show without rewinding every 5 seconds not knowing what they’re talking about. Now I have more focus than most people, and now it genuinely feels good to get up, walk, and live life, even breathing feels good. When I got prescribed i cleaned my room for the first time in over a year and only seen good from it
If you can function without Adderall then don’t take it but some people need it. And for the people who do genuinely need it, we truly love it 😂😂😂 I call them locked in pills because whenever I take em I get locked in, and you do NOT wanna be in a COD lobby with me after I take my Adderall I promise
My adhd makes me forgot that time is essential, therefore in testing and studying scenarios my mind is all over the place. Adderall helped keep me grounded.
I had suspected add for a long time. Finaly tried some vyvance and ended up sitting on my ass listening to glenn jones for 18 hours straight.
I prescribed myself adderall. And I only take it when I’m video editing and professional competitions. Other than that, I don’t be on it. And I realized that it does enhance your focus, but it could really scare people away from you. Because if your already smarter, addy is just gona make you smarter. So your so far ahead of everybody else
Your rarely any smarter, might be sharp for the day, but the reality is the same way the drug helps you focus by makeing things feel more important, it also makes the things you *say* feel more important
Does it actually make you smarter or does it just give you the sense of being smarter?
@@jayjaychadoy9226 its not going to make you smarter in the "know things" sense, but it does make you sharper in figureing things out quickly and retaining and recalling information.
@@jayjaychadoy9226 like the decision making is better. And win I test it, it works. So I’m like 🤔. It makes you think quicker and come out with more precise decisions and solutions in my book
My adderall is so amazing….I just can’t sleep on it 😅😅😅
It works good then ehh
Joe Rogan funny asl wen he high 😭💀
Adderal does the opposite of what you naturally are. If you’re laid back and calm, will make you hyper and super focused. If you’re already speedy and have ADHD it will make you feel calm and a sense of well being. I love it. I take 20mg a day and I can definitely see the difference
Joe be chomping on gum like a damn neanderthal high as a giraffe on cocaine multiple time in different interviews.
Adderall is the perfect drug for programmers that are not trying to be creative, but are trying to build something very technical. It is good for mathematics, where there are no ambiguities in answers and the goal is to break it down to its least common denominator. It is good for something like technical, legal writing. It is good for physical acumen, more energy. It is overall good for people that truly have ADHD/autism. It is not good for creativity. It can instill a false sense of greatness in this avenue, where upon further look, the work is often mediocre, if not subpar.
Adderall, in general, is good for a person that really needs it. It is terrible drug to use regularly, and even worse if the person taking it does not need it.
If it's not good for creativity, then it's definitely not good math
Agreed, great tool for when something repetitive or something that requires thinking, or even while recreational gaming but if you are trying to create something new or think out of the box, it can definitely affect your ego and inflate it til you look foolish. Even if you take too much before a social setting, you may become agitating or just over confident, or god forbid aggressive :0
I was like Joe and wanted to see how Adderall effected me, and I had the complete opposite affect where I became unnaturally fatigued, I was sort of pissed that the drug had a complete opposite effect. Apparently this is the common trait for someone who has ADHD, Adderall does not make them amped up. And it has nothing to with motivation, so if you have nothing to do while on Adderall you'll find yourself quite frustrated with the drug.
I was prescribed it at 12 years old. It was brand new then in the 90s! i didn't know what it was til later in life. Rn I'll take 30mgs and be calm and focused !
I was put on adderal as a kid horror followed im 39 sober clean bye grace of God survived prisons...my whole life locked up i was a pot head theyd give me prison for it then force me on pills
My Lord, that’s terrible.
I feel like I’ve always had ADHD, but I’ve never thought about Adderall until recently with my work. It is really hard to stay focused with the repetitive task I do all day. Weed helps me with these tasks, but I cannot smoke anymore. Months ago when I was in the doctors office I mentioned I may have ADHD and they pretty much brushed it off. What do I do here? I’ve never tried Adderall before, but I want to just see if it would help my day to day.
Adderall helps but its super easy to get carried away with it. My work ethic and productivity increased SIGNIFICANTLY. i liked the euphoric effects too much and would be poppin 6-8 30mg pills a day. Smfh
Did you stop that many eventually?
Joe definitely took too many shrooms this morning lol
Anyone here who needs real answers about ADHD go find videos from Dr. Russell Barkley. Joe and his guest don't know what they are talking about.
Wrong Nate
true
They just uneducated ignorant famous nobodies
The smarter you are the more likely you take longer to make decisions and are bored easily
I've always felt like Joe rogan acts like a person who is on Adderall..
As a lemon, You just nailed it
Joe Rogan “Imagine being a mother”
😂😂😂😂
Adderall should NOT be given to kids. It's legal meth.

I'm seriously considering trying this because I'm so ADHD. I can't even type right. Just now my phone beeped had to think real hard what I was just doing (literally typing this very sentence).
I am going to talk to my doctor obviously and do it legit but I'm also pretty sure I have autism. I did like three different online tests now and nearly maxed them all out.
@CostomiseJames I want to talk to a doctor and do it legally.
bro no one is trusting your random ass drug dealer, yeah phycadelics can be really postive but not if they are laced with pcp like and fet like yours is@CostomiseJames
Adhd and autism are interconnected. 60% of people with one have the other. Go see your doctor.
Dopamine specifically in the striatum decreases ADHD symptoms, even to the point of calming them.
Adderall is awful for u…can’t sleep can’t eat…I had seizures from it.
They’re fun until they aren’t. That’s all I’ll say.
Adderall is just not about failing in school!!!
Its also about not wrecking all of your vehicles and relationships, if you actually have an inability to direct your own attention.
I had a buddy that was prescribed adderall as a teen and he became extremely addicted with some really bad mental side effects. Pretty much ruined his life for a long time.
It's great for being productive but after a while, it's nice to have peace and slow down. Not to mention the horrible mental state you will be left with such as manic episodes or paranoia through long term use or abuse. Better as a tool for boring and repetitive tasks that require your attention for multiple hours, studying, and maybe partying lol. Although it seems gamers love it too XD.
I was diagnosed at age 13 they started me on 5mg focilin then I slowly worked up to 30 mg adderall xr.. it took me YEARS to kick
Thank God you did. Doctors encourage addiction and dependence. You should be proud, quitting that shit is not easy.
@@zmizzy Would you say someone with glasses has a dependence?
As a kid that was medically diagnosed with adhd. Adderall when I actually took it as a 10+ year old all it did was make me zone out everything but what my tasks were (classwork). Iv always been curious about my friends who took it but didn't have adhd cause they would say they got "high" of it 😅 I never had that experience
It makes them feel like Superman, like they are guaranteed to succeed in anything that attempt, they feel overwhelmingly confident and their words flow outta their mouth before they even think of them. Time feels slowed and whatever they are currently doing becomes the whole of their world, some say they gain a level of clarity that makes realty go from looking like 1080 to 4K, their energy seem unlimited, and their a lightness to their bodies. (This is some of the descriptors I got from friends, I like you do not experience the effects at normal dosages)
@@metalmanexetremethat is the exact effect. U feel on top of the world. Take like 9mgs n u feel like u rolling
Zone out = high
The only thing I can say is that Adderall calms my mind and helps me to put my thoughts in order...
i dont really feel much different altho i have a low dose, i can tell it helps tho
dude will rip 5 hits of dmt in 1 day but wont take an addy pilll..... kinda sus. I trust Joe too much he wouldnt lie to me ;)
I took alot of Adderall once and I thought for sure I was dieing I never took anymore again ever
Smart to make that decision to not take it again.
Joe was so high in this one hahah. Also the mics are so turned up it's straight up ASMR lol

I do significantly better on tests without time limits. My IQ is pretty high but not as high as it could be because I score low on processing speed. My brain is slow. They thought I had ADHD and so put me on few different medicines and nothing helped. They eventually put me on Adderall and it did nothing for me. They kept upping the dosage and nothing changed. I even tried doubling the the highest dosage (on my own) and still nothing. I tripled the dosage and finally took 4 times the highest dosage just to see if it would do anything and nothing. I was speaking faster but I think it was just because I had extra adrenalin pumping knowing that I just took 4 times the dosage all at once. I was so hopeful but nothing. I'm glad others found help with Adderall but I'm still stuck. I'm 54 years old and can't wait until I retire in 8 years because work absolutely SUCKS.
It is important to be cautious, but Rogan seems anti-medication when he states, "Thank god your mom stepped in" in opposition to getting the prescription, it seems like he immediately assumes only the worse and doesn't even consider the alternative, that it would be beneficial.
Terrible anger spikes. Just being mad at the world for no reason. It’s called Madderall for a reason. The bad out weighs any positive with that stuff.
maybe for you, but not for all of us.
people without adhd relying on adderall for school exams and work are setting themselves up for failure, dependency and addiction lmao.
adderall makes me feel like a super saiyan god
Because you're literally taking a low dose of speed. If you keep taking it you'll always need a stronger dose because your brain gets used to it. Over time your dose is gonna get stronger and stronger to the point where you'll start acting like a crackhead. In the long run adderall makes you cracked out
He scored off the charts but not in a way that matters in society because it takes him too long , Rogan took that shit so out of context 🤣
What goes up - SUCKS WHEN YOU COME DOWN!!!
Not if you dont abuse it
I took a lot of Adderall in high school. Took it on the college exams and scored like 21 out of 36 on the SAT or whatever its called. Pretty bad. It was timed though too. Timed testing is stupid and a horrible way to test someones intelligence
