Dude I get EXACTLY the same feeling. My dr. used to treat me for bipolar disorder but a couple years back I stopped taking the mood stabilizers because I found I was totally fine with just the adderall. It kinda works as an anti-depressant. But then again, I guess some symptoms of depression can resemble ADHD, so it would make sense that the medications might have similar affects.

It's horribly addictive, and now I'm totally dependent on it. I literally cannot be productive in any way whatsoever when I run out or do not take my Adderall. Living with a junky did not help because I would share with him and run out 2 weeks before getting my refill, and then end up spending a hundred bucks to get more from my neighbor.
I guess thats the kicker: If you're not using drugs and you're not abusing the adderall, and it's not on your mind like 24/7 when you don't have it, and you aren't breaking your bank to get more cause you ran out too early, then you're probably fine. Unfortunately I made the mistake of adjusting my own dosage so for a time I was eating those stupid pink pills like tic tacs.

All I know is that the normal prescribed dose should not make you feel like you're cracked out on drugs.
