How to Know If Someone Is High on Adderall

‍

If you want to stop an Adderall addiction identifying misuse is a crucial first step. Some signs you maybe abusing Adderall are:

• Energy Levels: High energy levels that are out of character. When people are taking Adderall at higher quantities than prescribed they may have a hard time sitting still and be hyperactive.
• Rapid Speech: A faster speed of talking is a common symptom of stimulant use. When someone is taking Adderall unprescribed, or over taking the medication, speaking fast and excessively is possible.
• Decreased Appetite: Adderall suppresses appetite, and some people abuse it for weight loss purposes. It is not uncommon to skip meals on Adderall and lose noticeable weight.
• Dilated Pupils: When stimulated (especially with the use of a physical compound) you will notice extremely dilated pupils. You may see very little of the "color" portion of the eye and a lot of the pupil when someone is on Adderall.
• Restlessness: Heightened restlessness and anxiety can cause restlessness, agitation, and insomnia (difficulty falling or staying asleep)
• Sweating: When someone is on Adderall, they may swear more than normal or have a flushed look to them.

If you notice these signs in someone, addressing their use promptly can prevent addiction from progressing further.

Symptoms of Adderall Addiction

‍

Symptoms of Adderall addiction present themselves when misusing and abusing the drug. These symptoms can impact daily life and commonly include:

• Cravings: An addict will have an intense craving for Adderall and may not feel right unless they are on the drug.
• An Increased Tolerance: An individual needs more Adderall to achieve the same effect.
• Inability To Quit: This is a factor, especially if there has been a consequence. If Adderall has negatively affected the user's life and they are still unable to stop it is a clear indication that an Adderall addiction is forming. These negative effects could be in regard to work, home, physical health, and personal relationships. Other times it could be financial or ethical. In other words, some people will spend more than they can afford or do things they normally would not do in order to require the Adderall. This is a definitive sing of Adderall addiction.
• Neglecting Responsibilities: When Adderall use leads to addiction it is common for it to be counterproductive to your responsibilities. Although the drug is used to help with responsibilities it can backfired if it is being abused, which leads to poor performance and neglected responsibilities.‍
• Social Isolation: When someone is addicted, it is common to withdrawal from friends and family to hide the addiction, use the drug, or spend more time with other users of the drug.‍
• Mood Swings: The restlessness and anxiety we mentioned above accompanies the highs and lows of being addicted to stimulants.

A successful recovery starts with recognizing the symptoms. If you or someone you know displays these symptoms reach out to an addiction specialist for a customized rehab program.

When withdrawing from Adderall you will experience physical and emotional symptoms. These symptoms include:

‍

• Without the stimulant you may feel extremely tired and unmotivated to complete daily responsibilities.
• Depression: You may feel sad or hopeless while detoxing. In extreme cases individuals can become suicidal.
• Cravings: Urges become incredibly strong making it harder to have a successful recovery.
• Difficulty Concentrating: When Adderall users quit, they commonly report having "brain fog", or the inability to focus and function.
• Increased Appetite: Adderall is known to suppress your appetite. When people quit, they may notice that they are eating more or potentially gaining weight
• Sleep Disturbances: When quitting your sleep schedule maybe thrown off. Some users report insomnia while other report excessive sleeping.
