My 22 year old son died in Nov of 2009 when his ADD drug Ritalin became his addiction. He was prescribed this drug at age 12 and doctors don't warn you how addictive this drug can become, especially for teens and young adults. Nora Volkow tells about how these drugs are damaging the frontal lobe and causing the yes no decisions to be affected. She states that with 90 days of treatment the brain can recover in young people. Older addicts may have no hope of repair. I screwed up Sean. Sorry.
haha adderall deffently IS benificial for everyone. I think for most people a headace, not being hungry, being thirsty, trouble sleeping, trouble busting a nut, frustration or being alittle sad for one night is WITHOUT A DOUBT worth that a+ and acceptance into med school.
wtf? Now they're advocating coffee and soda to be better than adderall? wtf has america come too. I hate mass media blowing things up to scare the masses of the ignorant america
The side effects are the same for all, and the benefits can greatly exceed the side effects for people both with and without the disorder. It's a shame that ADHD-drugs are a prescription drug, and not freely available for everybody.
I can't believe people think i'm a idiot? The thought of having to take a drug to get through everday life is whats wrong, how about getting healthy with the right foods and such. People are ignorant.
Partylwc: You asked why people are calling you an idiot regarding your position against adderall. Hey, you could be an idiot, but who am I to judge. You are, however, claiming status as an MBA student like it's a good thing or difficult. Come on, Appalachian State? are you serious? I bet you're taking classes with students that have down syndrome, or better yet, they might be teaching the classes.
Insults aside, I can say with 100% confidence: you're are ignorant about adderall....
Using your rationale, taking a blood pressure pill "to get through everday [sic] life is" a problem? No. Taking adderall regulates chemical bodily functions just like any other prescribed medication. Further, applying your narrow interpretation of the rule renders all medication "whats [sic] wrong [with society]"
you're are ignorant? So your idea of defending a drug is to insult me for about 200 words and say i have down syndrome? There is no point even discussing adderall, once you've seen one zombie on adderall you have seen them all. Fool
Wrong. Adderall isn't designed as a cure for people's "problems". It's not an anti depressant or anti anxiety drug. Its nothing more than a stimulant that allows you to be focused and calm. It doesn't change you, just allows you to run at 100%. Its like taking a vitamin or energy pill.
@VAdirtyS Adderall is nothing like taking a vitamin or energy pill. A vitamin is stuff your body needs to survive. Like Vitamin C which is in fruits whic h are good for you. Adderall is basically a methamphetamine which the body doesn't exactly produce normally; its a drug that intoxifiys people and they become dependant on it. And yes it's not a cure. I wouldn't even call it a treatment because if anything it creates more problems then cures.
Ok more like an energy pill than anything. Adderall is composed of "amphetamine salts". These salts aren't nearly as potent or addicting as methamphetamine which is a different family of amphetamines altogether. It isn't toxic to the system. If I'm trying to convince someone of this who goes to Lindsey Wilson College, then I'm probably just wasting my time.
@VAdirtyS Your a complete and utter fool if you if your trying to compare adderall to an vitamin pill is my point. Vitamin pills do not give you a rush. For someone who has never taken drugs adderall is a complete and utter mind blow, its going to make them more then likely speed up a lot, sweat a lot more, increase their heartrate, and give them a very high euphoric feeling for hours. LOL any drug is toxic in moderate doses, adderall is toxic to the nervous system
@VAdirtyS Lindsey Wilson College, How about Appalachian State University where im currently working on my MBA. Does VAdirty stand for your vagina having syphilis
@VAdirtyS I didn't know being a stoner made you fit in? I'm actually a cyclist on the college cycling team. I never said Adderall wasn't safe, I just don't think you should compare it to vitamin pills or energy drinks, I believe its a good step above even the latter.
App state may have a lot of stoners but you don't live at the beach to become a good cyclist.
"You wouldn't fit in at any college because you're bashing Adderall" I didn't know that you had to do drugs to fit in..
I was trying to say that almost everyone who has taken it compares it to an energy drink. I was skeptical about it myself until I tried it and realized what it really is. I like Adderall, so do a lot of other people on campus, but if you don't feel like you need it then thats your choice.
@VAdirtyS Yeah its not really bad unless you abuse it. It just feel its highly abused. Its very easy to abuse because its really a wonder pill the first time you take it if you have never taken any other drugs before. I mean I dont remember my first energy drink, but i remember the first time I took Adderall LOL
good story, i was prescribed that pill because i have a medical problem. and i do not misuse it and i find it sick that people abuse something that i need to get me through school.
So sorry to hear about your loss, pwg1126. By bringing attention to this issue as you are, you are serving his memory so very well.

And if caught with a harmless green plant you will be nearly beaten to death by police. That speaks for itself, I think.

"Students for safer studying"?!?! Unreal... find a serious cause to advocate. Man, I'm liberal, but some of these undergrads take stuff way too far.
Go help at a homeless shelter.... "safer studying"
