Adderall is a prescribed drug for ADD (attention deficit disorder), popularly used among high school and college students. I dedicate this post to all parents and students as well as administrators and faculty.
One of the culprits for my son's psychosis is Adderall prescription. Highly motivated and competitive, my son wanted to reach a certain GPA at college and thought that through focusing and studying for many hours until dawn could help him with achieving this goal.
What it helped achieve was: induce psychosis. His doctor a GP (general practitioner) prescribed this drug too often, whether he thought that my son had ADD, he never sent him to a specialist to confirm through comprehensive testing what my son was alleging. I didn't know about this fact until later, when I discovered empty bottles of this medication.
The side effects on a non- ADD profile, can range from induced psychosis to suicide. Therefore, it changes the chemistry of the brain's response. It is as well extremely addictive like cocaine, and its effects are very similar to methamphetamine.
Nowadays, people from all walks of life take this medication for performance, and doing more in less time, some people like this drug because it suppresses appetite.
Schools and colleges should have conversations of awareness about this prescribed drug with their faculty and students. Doctors shouldn't prescribe it casually; they need to have proof of ADD before dispensing this medication.
To everyone who is considering getting this drug to attain goals easily: for instance, doing more is less time, I say, if you do it slowly, and safely you will reach further than the stars, don't hinder your potential by using artificial enhancers. They could afflict you with illnesses serious enough to hinder your future.
