    ADHD and gambling
    Most gamblers are impulsive; is there a connection between ADHD and gambling?

    Recent studies indicate that treatment-seeking problem gamblers display elevated rates of ADHD and that adolescents who screen positive for ADHD are more likely to engage in gambling, develop gambling problems, and experience a greater severity in gambling problems.

    I've been diagnosed with ADHD years ago, I'm not a problem gambler but these reports make sense.
    I'm prescribed 40 milligrams of Adderall a day, makes me focused like a cobra.

      60mg a day for me. A 30 ** instant release when I wake up and a floater at lunchtime. I usually only take it twice a week when I really need to get a ton done at work. I feel like crap at the end of those days and can’t enjoy food or weed. I’m usually not great company either. Zombie status

                Yes. Diagnosed with ADHD in 3rd grade.

                You really had to be bad back then. I used to fight, gamble/scam others, be in principals office constantly.

                They gave me Ritalin.

                  Doctors first started me off on Ritalin, before Adderall was approved.
                  i hated Ritalin.

                    Ya. Used to fake take it in 7th grade and give it to my friend. I was bouncing off the hallways during passing period. He did not have add so he got hyper from it

                                    I like them both.
                                    Two different animals, one I use to chill, the other one I use to get things done.
                                    I need my Adderall though.

                                        I tried Adderall. It's like legal coke. And not the really good coke.

                                        I prefer weed.
