ADHD Treatment – Adderall Side Effects

Adderall is commonly used to treat ADHD symptoms. In the beginning, Adderall was sold under another name as ‘Obetrol’. It was prescribed to help people in weight and dietary control. So whilst it may have some benefits for people suffering from ADHD, it was originally used for other purposes.

Adderall is an amphetamine that stimulates the central 1v lsd kaufen nervous system. It has been approved by the FDA since 1996 for treating ADHD in adults and in children over the age of 6 years old. Adderall tends to have longer lasting results and its side effects are actually not as harsh as the side effects of Ritalin, another drug medication for ADHD.

The most common side effects of Adderall include insomnia, headache, weight loss and appetite loss. It is only fair to expect weight loss and appetite loss when you realize what the drug was originally used for. Children’s weight and growth may be affected if Adderall is taken for long periods of time.

Other side effects include stomach pain, nausea, dizziness, addiction and restlessness. These side effects are not as common as the ones mentioned earlier, but they can affect some people and can be really frustrating. Adderall addiction is a main concern as it can cause serious behaviour and medical problems.

However, the most serious side effects of Adderall are Tourettes Syndrome, hallucinations and increased heart rate.

Before you consider taking Adderall as treatment for ADHD, it is vital to discuss with your doctor about the risks involved and whether this medication could really help you. Adderall should not be taken if you have glaucoma, overactive thyroid, heart problems and a history of drug abuse. Never take Adderall with anti-depressant drugs called MAOI as it can cause serious reactions that can be potentially fatal.

Adderall is a drug with high risk of abuse. This is evident in the widespread use of Adderall among high school and college students during their final examinations. As Adderall is a stimulant that contains Amphetamine, students take it to help them focus longer and recall more effectively (in the short term). Some could end up relying on this drug as they develop a state of dependent learning due to their inability to perform without it. The prolonged and unsupervised use of Adderall may lead to drug addiction, sudden 1v lsd kaufen death and serious cardiac defects.

Amphetamines have appetite-suppressing properties, so some people take Adderall to lose weight. It is used in combination with other off label prescriptions drugs to treat obesity. This a risky way of losing weight as there have not been any research carried out to test the effectiveness of such treatment.

Pharmaceutical Adderall XR

A pharmaceutical amphetamine, Adderall is used to battle attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder ( like ADD) and narcolepsy. The first time the drug was 1v lsd kaufen prescribed was in the nineteen seventies, to be used as an anorectic, usage as such is now extremely rare.

Adderall stimulates the centreal nervous system by the use of 4 amphetamine salts. The 4 salts are:

  • amphetamine aspartate
    • amphetamine sulfate
    • dextroamphetamine saccharate
    • dextroamphetamine sulfate

The last salt in the list, dextroamphetamine sulfate, can also be found alone in a druge called dexedrine. Because of the use of four different salts, the manufacture claims that the difference in metabolism rates allows the Adderall’s, affects to have smaller highs and lows and be a generally smoother drug to use over similar drugs that treat the same conditions. This claim by the manufacture is backed with very little evidence, which has slowed the claim for immediate release adderall. Recent studies have proven that sustained releases of dexamphetamine lasted longer in duration to Adderall, and are much less expensive. The only down side to using dexamphetamine is that the drug is much less effective in the first few hours of dosage.

Marketed as Adderall XR, the druge can now be found in an ‘immediate-release’ tablet or an ‘extended-release’ capsule. Due to the nature of all of these forms of treatment, I strongly recommend consulting a medical professional who will be able to provide you with more information, and guide you in the right direction.
