Can you share some more details? As I have just been prescribed Adderall and I want to make sure that's something I want to take regularly.

If you have been prescribed something, you are under doctor supervision so my comment doesn't apply to you. I was talking about people doing drugs and/or self medicating.

Just make sure your doctor's loyalty lies with you and not with some pharmaceutical company and you will be fine.

and you could always get a second or third opinion just to make sure.

I've been on Adderall for 15 years. It's brought sweeping, positive changes to my life.

I have increased control over thinking & recall and that allows my efforts to yield results. It's an everything-sized difference.

It’s perfectly safe as long as you monitor your blood pressure and remember to eat. The evidence is quite good that taking it reduces substance abuse in patients as well.
