Adderall??

By Heyley Tuesday, April 05, 2011

I am 15 years old. I Do not have ADHD and I take Adderall every once and awhile. Is this bad? What are the effects if I keep doing it?

You should never take prescription medication without being under the care of a doctor. Adderall can cause rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure and can be dangerous, especially if not prescribed for you as this is normally prescribed based on the individual, for example, the dosage can be different based on your age, weight and other physical traits.

 

Please stop taking this medication, any other prescription medication and any illicit drugs. You don't need this medication.
