[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not ADHD but took adderall to help with testing. It’s crazy how much harder I can work and that I got better grades when on it. I think a lot of parents want that for their kids. [/quote]

Well, you probably do have ADHD then, because research shows that if you don't, the drugs make you work harder, but perform poorly because you are overloading your brain on something it already has enough of.

Not true. A person who is focused and has good EF skills can use speed to focus even better in the short term. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/326023#The-drug-affects-memory-and-sleep

From what you shared:
"“Psychostimulants also led to detrimental consequences to cognitive functions that rely on good sleep. Thus, people who are taking these drugs to perform better in school or at work may feel as though they are doing better, but our data don’t support this feeling,” she goes on to warn."

Kids might buy Adderall for short term gain but wealthy parents are not trying to get their kids on these drugs unless they truly need them.[/quote]
