I feel better on adderall only if its taken occasionally
I wouldn’t risk it… Myself anyway…
In fact i was taking adderal before my first onset…
A really bad idea - it can cause a relapse into psychosis…
“stimulants (from meth to Adderall to caffeine) are contraindicated for schizophrenia patients. Without a doubt, Adderall/amphetamine will make schizophrenia worse. To mix the two I would never, ever advise as a doctor.”
And let’s make that clear right away: “Adderall” is just the brand / proprietary name for the drug / stimulant amphetamine, which is a powerful stimulant.

I thought it was bad for schizophrenia because it does the opposite of antipsychotics because ADD is a lack of dopamine and it would basically be like if you gave your schizophrenia steroids to become way stronger.

All stimulants make psychosis worse. Even caffeine is a bad idea unless you are very stable on meds.
So no, adderal is a strong stimulant, in fact an amphetamine, so a strong no.

Adderall made me feel great… super stimulant… and then manic high… then the crash.
It’s not a good idea.

No it can’t really help us. However it does get us pretty wired. 
It’s really, really dangerous though.
