Adderall
the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is also
aphrodisiac and euphoriant. By salt content, the active ingredients of Adderall are 75%
dopamine in the brain, which results from its interactions with trace amine associated
receptor 1 and vesicular monoamine transporter 2. Adderall shares many chemical and
ADHD. The most common side effects are cardiovascular, such as irregular heartbeat
Much larger doses of Adderall are likely to impair cognitive function and induce rapid
but only rarely arises from medical use. Very high doses can result in a psychosis
(delusions and paranoia) which rarely occurs at therapeutic doses even during
long-term use. Recreational doses are generally much larger than prescribed
therapeutic doses, and carry a far greater risk of serious side effects.
(Ritalin and Concerta) are often prescribed to treat children, adolescents, or adults
People with ADHD persistently have more difficulty paying attention or are more
hyperactive or impulsive than other people the same age. This pattern of behavior
usually becomes evident when a child is in preschool or the first grades of elementary
school; the average age of onset of ADHD symptoms is 7 years. Many peoples ADHD
symptoms improve during adolescence or as they grow older, but the disorder can
ADHD diagnoses are increasing. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, as of 2011, 11 percent of people ages 417 have been
diagnosed with ADHD. A growing number of teenagers and young adults are abusing
grades in school, and there is a widespread belief that these drugs can improve a
Prescription stimulants to promote wakefulness, but studies have found that they do not
enhance learning or thinking ability when taken by people who do not actually have
ADHD. Also, research has shown that students who abuse prescription stimulants
actually have lower GPAs in high school and college than those who dont.

The New York Times recently reported that Adderall abuse has become
increasingly common among high school and college students who are looking for a
competitive edge in their studies. Even more disturbing, many parents apparently
support their childrens use of the drug if it means their kids earn better grades and
qualify for prestigious colleges or universities. How can you protect yourself and the
snort the drug tend to take more Adderall than those who take the drug in oral form,
which means that they may develop a tolerance or dependence more quickly. Inhaling
the drug through your nostrils can damage the membrane that lines your respiratory
tract, making you more vulnerable to illness and airborne infections. Extended abuse of
this amphetamine may even damage the internal structures of your nose and sinuses.
This drug has also been used a performance enhancer in esports. Esports
is a new type of competition that uses the medium of video games. Games where this is
how been found in players mainly are Counter Strike and League of Legends. Adderall
is banned from use by players as it gives them an unfair advantage, For even having a
less than a quarter second higher reaction time will mean the difference in how a game
plays out. Players caught using these drugs are usually fined, their team disqualified,
and a small ban may be implemented for either the player or entire team.
In conclusion, Adderall is a drug that has a lot of way that it can help suppress
ADHD and other similar diseases. It is a difficult drug to regulate and control, as it is
needed to treat conditions. I suppose that is the trouble with a lot of prescription drugs
however. They each do have an intended use, and people will abuse them in order to
see how it affects their body. It is dangerous to do this, as it can damage your body,
mostly of all your liver, as it tries to process all of the toxins in your blood.
