i have 2 sons in college that tell us almost everyone in on adderall to make better grades. i've been told it works but should we risk turning them into speed freaks or meth heads.
I'm currently working on my bio-psych doctorate and I also have ADD and obsessive compulsive disorder. Adderall isn't like speed, it is speed, it's a smaller dose of amphetamine than most people use and it works for ADD and ADHD better than probably any other pharmaceutical but the important thing to remember is that pharmaceuticals aren't meant to be used by themselves. Behavioral therapy should also be used, just like after a car accident a person might need physical therapy and pharmaceuticals, but if you just use pharmaceuticals then it becomes a crutch and you will never be able to walk again without them.
People with ADD have a neurochemical imbalance that is corrected by adderall, if you look at a brain scan of someone with one of these condition then you will see diminished activity in parts of the brain. After the medication a brain scan will show that much of the imbalance is corrected, but if you are a regular person and you use it to concentrate then you're speeding up the brain, heart and nervous system. In the same way if I take an adderall in the evening then I can go to sleep and actually sleep better, but if most people take an adderall in the evening then they will be up extremely late.
If your children have serious cases of ADD or ADHD then adderall does work but it has some potentially dangerous side-effects, but if they don't have one of these conditions or they aren't mature enough to use the medication properly then it's highly addictive and leads to further drug seeking tendencies.
