Narconon Warns That Students are Taking Adderall to Study
Narconon exposes the dangers of Adderall abuse among students as the newest trend; they take the drug to study.
There is a lot of pressure on high school and college students to perform well in school. Students are now turning to Adderall to help them study, focus more, and do better on tests.
Adderall is a mixture of amphetamine salts used to treat attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The FDA has deemed this drug a Schedule II controlled substance, these are the most likely to be abused, and that it has a high potential for 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. It helped me study. I did well on those finals. Then my roommate the next semester had a prescription, so I got them from her.”
She continued with, “When I moved into the sorority house almost a lot 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 wasn’t just using it to get good grades anymore. I was taking it all the time.”
Adderall has side effects other than addiction; it can lead to insomnia, depression and even death. This is pretty frightening considering that some colleges have reported that up to 75% of their students have taken this drug.
