      I took adderal for a couple of years (adult add) i made sure i got plenty of exercise, lived right, and had my blood pressure taken.
      adhd is a very difficult way of living. i could go on for hours. but it's time for me to sleep.

        Some of the brands can raise blood pressure and heart rate, which could cause a heart attack in some people. It is best to get a physical before taking any drugs.

          Who here knows why take any kind of a chance even the doctors probably don't know , to me it's just another way of copping out for both parents and their kids..

            When both parents work and the child is “farmed” out, no one will take an ADHD chlld. So the parents give the child Ritilin or Adderal and off to work they go.
            I personally do not like stimulants for little kids but I tell you there is a HUGE war going on about that subject.
