Adderall®
Adderall® is a stimulant used
to treat Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), and
narcolepsy. On the street Adderall® is known
as beans, black beauties, dexies, pep pills, speed, and
uppers. When Adderall® is taken by someone
without ADHD, ADD, or narcolepsy, it causes the user to
feel more focused and attentive. The user may also
experience dizziness, headaches, irregular heartbeat,
hostility, paranoia, or even heart failure or fatal
seizures. Long-term use can lead to addiction and
compulsive activity. Because most illegal users of
Adderall® get the drug from individuals with
a prescription, illegal use can be prevented by closely
monitoring those with a
prescription.
