As a user of Adderall as a study drug, I have to agree with some of the responses here of the article being overly dramatic. If a responsible student takes 10mg of adderall to work through a large paper then doesn't do it again until two weeks later for another large paper, the effects are truly minimal. It does not make "your heart feel like its going to burst out of your chest in the middle of class, or your stomach so queasy you feel like you're going to vomit any second". Not at all, not in the slightest. If it does, then you have overdosed, and that is irresponsible no matter who you are. You can even overdose on caffeine and get those same effects. I find that almost every article written about drug use is written by people who have never used them, or doctors who's job it is to scare you into not using them. the truth is, most drugs are not as spectacular as they are made out to be. I feel that is the people in charge of giving information on these drugs were more truthful in their approaches we would have less of a drug problem. In this article, it is obvious that the doctors words are in regards to taking an overdose. That can be confirmed by looking up the drugs information of Google and reading the "overdose symptoms". What about his words on the effects of taking a regular dose....a dose, I might add, that is prescribed to many people with ADD. The confirmation that what the doctor says in simply a list of overdose symptoms confirms that the people with the obligation to inform the public use that authority simply to scare them. Take this article with a grain of salt, and if you do choose to do adderall, research it yourself first and be smart about it. It is my advice to you and what this article should have told you in the first place.
