Discuss w/ doctor: You can be happy on Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) by being sure to "earn" your happiness, like everyone else must do. You might want to get a book called "the how of happiness, " by sonja lyubomirsky. She discusses the scientifically based keys to happiness. But, be sure to discuss with your prescribing doctor to rule out troubling side effects or dose-related problems.

Happiness despite : Because certain medicines like Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) can blunt your feelings and emotions, you have to work harder at being happy. Make sure each morning and a few times during the day to remember what you are grateful for, proud of, pleased about. Help others and share in their happiness. Pursue relationship building with family and friends. Set personal goals and achieve them. Love others.

Choose Wisely: I completely agree with dr. Peltan's suggestions. As well: 1) try to remember each moment will never come again. Choose how you focus your energy, attention, thoughts and behavior so to create more moments you will want to remember. 2) "listen" inside;be respectfully honest; honor yourself as others; live in tune with your true inner self. 3) consider medication evaluation if unable or ineffectve.
