The prescription drug Adderall is easily confused these days with a study tool. Every person in college either has used Adderall or knows someone that has. And as far as I know, they are doing okay and getting better grades than I am. But something has to give. There has to be some type of setback or every one would use it. Right? Read some of this.
High doses may result in dangerously high body temperature and irregular heartbeat. There is also the potential for cardiovascular failure or lethal seizures.
Long-term effects can include stunted growth, psychotic episodes, heart complications, fatigue, depression, sleeplessness and addiction. Critics charge it will eventually deplete your creativity; published research shows Adderall increases horniness and impotence at the same time.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration attaches this “black box warning”: Administration of amphetamines for prolonged periods of time may lead to drug dependence and must be avoided.
So the bomb is dropped; overuse of the stuff can cause bad stuff to happen to your body. Whupdie f***ing doo. The students that have used it and had success are not going to stop popping some Addys before every mid-term and final. So there.
However, the claims in this article will definitely prove correct if the rising trend of putting Adderall in your drink keeps happening on campuses. It may even be the next the Oxycotin.

I really did begin my research looking for some terrible side-effect from adderall abuse. I knew that something that sounded so good, must have some side effects that appear later on in life. Despite my efforts, I discovered it's more physically detrimental to go out to the party across the street and have a few drinks then to pop an adderall and cram out that final exam study session. I will say though that adderall is addictive, and your body will become dependent on it if taken regularly for an extended period of time. Furthermore, although the drug side-effects are minimal, the withdrawal effects have been reported as being far more severe including: extreme fatigue, weight gain, depression, and thoughts of suicide.
In conclusion, here is my recommendation to all you other working college students with goals, ambitions, a life, and a extreme lack of time for sleep with everything else. Think of adderall as your emergency back up for that "****! i have 3 finals tomorrow, an essay due, and I don't get off work till 9pm" situation. The "only break in case of emergency". Hey, I'll confess, I've been in that situation more than once, and I owe my 3.9 gpa as a junior in college to the occasional adderall cram session. If you're smart, you'll only use it infrequently anyway. Your body builds up resistance to the drug over time, which is one of the reasons why people become addictive and begin taking higher and higher dosages. Take it only during your midterms and finals week and you won't feel the need to take too much of a higher dosage.
...oh, and we take it to study and get the work done quick not to have sex. However, this does consequently make more time for stress free sex later on. :) Posted 09/24/2008 12:01 AMReply
