Adderall
Monday, May 10th, 2010I just looked up what this “Adderall” is all about since they’re fussing about it & saying that it helps kids “cheat” at school.
Via el Wikipedia “Adderall is widely reported to increase alertness, libido, concentration and overall cognitive performance while decreasing user fatigue”.
I didn’t bother to look up the side effects, but man, I’d be lying if I said increased alertness, concentration and overall cognitive performance while *decreasing* user fatigue wasn’t appealing. (I have 5 children, so my libido is obviously fine.)
And while I’m not into chemicals unless absolutely necessary (and yes, caffeine is a necessary vitamin) I wonder why the ADHD crowd gets to have all the fun. Maybe some day when I’m locked up in the loony bin I’ll find out first hand. But until then I’ll stick to my Coca-Cola & Coffee.
