    Default Adderol for studying??

    College kids are calling it the nw NODOZ - did you see this on the news???

    Yeah it can definately enhance your attention span and performance but are these kids looking at any of the repercussions??? Adderol can give a person an INSTANT heart attack - it is very different than Ritalin -  Ritalin with all of its tarnished rep is actually a much CLEANER drug!!! I can not understand how these educated 'intelligent' kids can put themselves at such risk??? I can not believe this is the new trend!! I am so scared for whatever will be the big new news when my kids are in high school and college. A website was actually promoting the use of Adderol for increased performance on the SAT's!

    The drug epidemic in this country is way outta control. Children (and adults) will try anything to "enhance" parts of their bodies including their minds.

    There is so much pressure on children to succeed at everything...its no wonder "poison" like this is so popular...ok, getting off my soap box now...lol...
