Adderall

[dhue34]

I was curious if some doctors could answer the following questions

What are the positive side effects of adderall (adderrall), negitive effects?

What are the problems with addiction to adderall (adderrall)?

How many children are being perscribed to this drug?

Is there a problem of illegal selling on college campuses, details?

any answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated.  Also, if you a doctor, or any kind of medical proffessional can you leave your name and where you practice.  Thanks so much.

There is definetly a problem with selling this drug without prescriptions.  There are probably too many children using this medication according to all reports. It should be prescribed carefully and selectively.  It can become addictive with adults because it acts like an "upper" and withdrawal can be very difficult, and sometimes dangerous, so has to be done carefully.

I never heard of adderall (adderrall) until I attended a major university, though at a much older age than most.  I am 30 so I have seen, heard, and done many illegal substances, and legal ones in my lifetime.  However, adderall (adderrall) was new to me when I heard about it from some students who complained about the unfair advantage many students have who are abusing adderall (adderrall) in order to study or work longer.  I heard that it is very common for students to use it illegally at my school, though I have not seen it firsthand since I am rarely hanging out with 19 year olds.
