Amphetamine.
It was one of the worst things that ever happened to me. It turned me into a god. Let me do things I never thought possible.
It is very easy to understand why many get hooked on this stuff and why they struggle to get off of it.
Adderall is a life wrecker. It should be off the market.
A great preponderance of baseball heros of the the 1950’s and 60’s would pop ‘Greenies’ like M&Ms. all club houses would put a bowl of these amphetamines for players to super charge before the start of a game.
As far as I’m concerned all baseball players need to sign a release that if they happen to taken performance enhancement drugs it’s all on them and the team’s and MLB are not liable. After that I would tell the players to ‘knock yourselves out’. They want to trade life span for short term sport excellence and big bucks? God bless them.
Adderall in the wrong person can make you rage and uncontrollably angry. My son, yrs ago took it for a week as we accepted add diagnosis...then we got him on some other add med...my gut feel hated the whole thing...I feel like I sold out my principles by agreeing to have him take it...wow was that Adderall week scary... on e on the new meds, we prayed for healing and a few yrs later like 7th grade, he said he didn’t want to take any adhd meds anymore...we skipped weekends and then one day, then another, then no more meds...he graduates in a few weeks and has been able to focus like a laser on school since then. Chem Engineering at UC Cincinnati with several academic scholarships to boot and a really high SAT, especially rally math... So God indeed healed him, and I’d also add these add drugs are. Cocaine derivatives and that industry is hellbound. I still to this day believe add to be a farce for teachers who think boys should sit still and not be allowed to move around while being taught. $big pharma and congress is medicating our boys and turning them into non social doped up video game junkies.
Speed kills.
Abuse of what?
Oh, look, a squirrel.
I think the headline has it right...”abuse” of Adderall. It’s a highly controlled Schedule C drug and it’s difficult to abuse it while under a doctor’s care, unless you resort to nefarious ways in order to obtain it.
This drug can prevent you from joining the US military. At a minimum there is a two year hold after your prescription ends.
