According to my parents, I have had ADD for a long time now. It seems that I was treated for ADD using Ridilin around when I was 10 or so (though that treatment was immediately cancelled due to the zombie-like symptoms my parents noticed from me).
Once again, at the age of 22, I was diagnosed with Adult ADD and now recently started taking a new form of medication called Adderall XR. After some research, I have found out that Adderall XR is a much lower form of Ridilin. At this time, I am taking 15mg doses, but now I am considering bumping up the dosage to 40mg.
Since Adderall XR helps mostly with concentration and focus, I would not see this medication getting in the way. But I may always be wrong.
Will this medication affect my future training and practice? Any feedback will be appreciated.

hmm, well if Adderall XR helps with youre concentration, then i really dont think that it will affect youre training, I think that it might actually make it better. Unless the medication makes you dissy or makes you vomit, or any other side effects like that, then i think that it wont effect youre training.  |

It seems that Aderall XR was not affecting me much, due to this I have been switched to standard Aderall (the Standard has two doses in one day while the XR only has one dose a day).
I am hoping that perhaps this particular medication can show more improvements.
Still, I must begin meditation, wether I am on or off the support of medication.

It might help, but dont try to rely on pills and other things and such.
If it does show improvement suggest how.
As there are many things that are said to help Meditation, APing, Psi Manipulation and Etc.

yeah I would try meditation or simply try to reduce distractions (like the computer for me). Don't drink anything that's really sugary like soda and keep far away from caffine. The meds may or may not affect you. Everyone is different and response to meds differently

I would keep taking the perscription as perscribed by doctor. No need to over dose because of nice meditation practice ...

Agreed.
The computer is, indeed, a very difficult distraction to control. It is practically my only gateway into gaming, both on and off line.
My hopes are high that the medication will only reinforce my concentration once all distractions are dealt with.
I am greatful for all of the inputs and suggestions. Thanks!
