Newest Trend Adderall

The newest trend among college aged students is not alcohol, pot or other "hard" drugs. It is a drug available in pharmacies- Adderall.

More people are seeking help for Adderall addiction these days.

With the pressure to perform well in school, some students believe that turning to Adderall will help them study and do better on tests. This is far from the truth. All Adderall does is keep a student up for hours at a time, creating stress, so the materials studied are not fully grasped. No one staying up all night studying will remember their information after the test is done and over. Usually the information is forgotten as soon as the pill wears off.

Adderall is a mixture of amphetamine salts that can be obtained by a prescription. However, the FDA has deemed this drug a Schedule II controlled substance, which means that it has a high potential for abuse and addiction.

One recovering addict says, "The first time I took Adderall was for Freshman Finals. I had to cram for exams, because I needed to get good grades. I thought that it helped me study so when my roommate the next semester had a prescription, I got some from her.

"When I moved into the sorority house almost all of the girls had prescriptions. It was easy to find. Four years later, I realized I had a problem when I wasn't just taking it to study anymore. I was taking it all the time and I had a problem."

Some colleges have reported that up to 75% of their students have taken this drug. Without proper education on the dangers of Adderall, more students who think they will get better grades will end up addicted. It is likely that many are addicted now and need help, but perhaps don't know where to turn, so keep taking the drug as a solution.


Adderall has side effects other than addiction; it can lead to insomnia, depression and even death.
