Aderol

Aderol prescriptions have become so wide spread among high school and college students that it seems almost half the people you ask have one. Several of my friends even as late as the summer going into their first year of college were diagnosed with ADD and started taking aderol to help them focus in class and get their work done. However it doesn’t just end there, they have said that it enhances every aspect of their life from school work to practice to even getting chores done like cleaning your room. The way they make it sound in this competitive environment you are now almost at a disadvantage if you do not take aderol. The thing that bothers me though is I struggle very much so doing things like homework and writing papers, and sitting through a whole class and not getting distracted is almost impossible. So why can I not get a prescription? Well apparently the sports medicine doctor said he dosnt think I need it based on a conversation I had with him which I think is a bit ridiculous. So my question is the fact that it is such an enhancer is going to make more and more people attempt to get Aderol from the doctor, are we going to reach a point when everyone is taking Aderol? I mean it cant hurt society at all there is no harmful side effects , the only side effect is making you a more productive and attentive individual. So why not just have everyone take it?

  1. Sounds like a good research topic!

    The benefits of aderol. We should all be taking aderol. Yes? Well, taking drugs to perform well seems like a binary opposition. Seems like a bad idea, but then again, maybe it's not.

  2. I agree with Nicky. It's unfair that some people take adderall especially when you are an athlete. Adderall is a stimulant. It gives you energy and prevents you from getting tired. Also, it seems even more unfair for wrestlers to be prescribed adderall because it reduces hunger and helps people lose weight. When wrestlers need to cut 15-20 pounds, the people on adderall will have a much easier time than the people who aren't on it. Taking adderall is basically cheating in my opinion.
