While in college, many students are looking for the best way to stay up when they have to pull all nighters. The most popular way, at least on this campus, is to take adderall. Adderall is a medication used to control ADHD. The drug helps many people increase their ability to pay attention, stay focused, and contol behavior problems. The product is thought to work by restoring the balance of certain natural substances in the brain. It is stated that it should not be used to treat tiredness or to hold off sleep in people who do not have a sleeping disorder, which is what a large number of students use it for on this campus as well as its ability to help you pay attention and stay focused. Warning for this drug is misuse or abuse may result in serious (possibly fatal) heart and blood pressure problems. It can be habit-forming and with prolonged use, drug dependence may occur. Other side effects are loss of appetitie, weight loss, dizziness, headache, trouble sleeping and much more. There are certain medical conditions that if you have you should not use adderall which many people would never even think about looking up before taking the drug. I think it is important for students to learn of the warnings and side effects because there are serious problems that can occur if this is taken with out speaking to a doctor first!
This is intersting because just the other day, one of my friends was talking about taking adderall for the first time to see if it would keep him up for finals. There must be a lot of students who take adderall for the wrong reasons. Most of them don't do any research on adderall and don't know the side effects.
