[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]adderall is legal cocaine, sold by drug companies. plain and simple. [/quote] It is. 100%.[/quote] How does it calm hyperactive children then?[/quote] "Cocaine stimulates the brain’s reward system, causing quick gratification, intense pleasure and euphoria. This region of the brain is typically stimulated by natural pleasurable activities such as eating and having sex, producing an overall sense of well-being. However, cocaine unnaturally floods the system with innate ‘feel good’ chemistry, eventually compromising the brain’s natural ability to produce pleasure. Consequently, compulsive cocaine use results as one seeks to feel good again, and after a period of abuse, the brain is not able to naturally produce pleasurable feelings without the drug. Along with a [b]sense of pleasure and reward, cocaine induces hyper-focus and attention, feelings of confidence and mastery[/b], wakefulness and decreased appetite. These are effects that are highly sought after and rewarding in themselves." from https://chapterscapistrano.com/cocaine-adderall-similar-may-think/[/quote] Which is not what stimulant medication does in someone with ADHD.[/quote] Why do you say that? Seems to me that the boldest is exactly what it does. It makes people concentrate and decreases their appetite. Look on the SN board - post after post saying that their ADHD child is on stimulants and concentrates well but now lost a lot of weight, and/or is so anxious that they also decide to add an antidepressant or something else into the mix.[/quote]
