Hi, I’m on the instant release version of adderall and experience similar side effects. In terms of social behavior I seem to do just fine, I keep to my self and keep quiet if I have nothing of value to add to a conversation, and am the embodiment of social grace. Among family members and those friends who are close to me I tend to be a little snappy at times. Thats at least how it was brought to my attention, that and the fact that “its the adderall” so far everyone dogs me about taking it, like its made me a different person or something. I think i’m able to focus on a subject long enough now that it can affect and change my mood but it is topic sensitive. For instance, my step-father refers to those with mental illness as retarded, underestimating the sererity or different degrees of mental illness. Since i had been diagnosed earlier this year i’ve investigated more into mental illness and take some offence to comments made, so in conversation if the topic would arises it tends to upset me a bit. The emotional instability is undercontrol more than it ever has but with a lack of ability to vent stress, and anger that builds up. Perhaps those closest to me get the brunt of it due to the fact that i’m comfortable around them and am less afraid of loosing them. Family should love me unconditionally right? At least it all makes sense in my head.

I’m not sure what else I can do other than put more effort into not upsetting anyone although it seems to be the case most of the time thus I just keep to myself.
