    Im taking these meds for adhd… How do i get off em do i snort em?

  • Daniel Murray says:

    for people with adhd the meds have a totally different effect to those who
    don’t. people don’t understand this. these drugs will effect non adhd
    people as a euphoric, speed/cocaine type drug… people with adhd will not
    get this effect at all. there is the danger. of all meds it is most
    important not to give your adhd medicine to others. it will harm them.

  • MrSymposier says:

    Something really worrying is the age, in other video its mentioned that
    teens between 11 and 17 are the ones that start consuming prescribed drugs
    pills, that means that many of them even do not drink or smoke but start
    with this drugs as they easily found then at home. If interested in other
    Medical videos, visit Symposier site (Physicians only).

  • jea740 says:

    so teens souldnt use weed to help consitracte but sould use these drugs
    that are far more harmfull. What bullshit

  • jia546 says:

    It’s not kids saying this helps me and will help you, they don’t need it so
    they sell it

  • john smith says:

    fake diease money making by drug companies

  • Nicholas Ryan says:

    im not taking it now. im taking strattera. but my ADD is pretty much a lack
    of executive function caused by frontal lobe head injury when i was 11. im
    very lethargic and my affect is blunt, i never have energy. but when i take
    10 mg XR people see me as very confrontational, self-righteous, and the
    stubbroness that i’ve always carried becomes even harder to deal with. i
    get very euphoric and arrogant, and can lift weights like a mfer. without
    it, i have no confidence and am very insecure

  • truestyleoutlaw says:

    at….doctor recommended doses? as a oppose to doses people use to get high?

  • DoubleBasschick2 says:

    school is coming up. i need to focus, stay up later, my head needs to there
    for homework, stay in class mentally, and lose weight. drugs like adderall
    could be a miracle for me but that sudden cardiac death thing does freak me
    out.

  • truestyleoutlaw says:

    thats really too bad because adderall really can help you with adhd

  • truestyleoutlaw says:

    only if they use it to get high… thats when its harmful

  • MAVworld says:

    I have concerta for my ADHD problems— 1 per day. thats it X’D adderall is
    too expensive anyways ­¯…¯

  • Nicholas Ryan says:

    im addicted to adderall. it’s dextroamphetamine. it is speed. i have add. i
    dont have the hyperactive kind.

  • Jeff Wright says:

    @DoubleBasschick2 it only has killed kids with pre existing heart
    conditions and most of them had taken extremely high dosages

  • truestyleoutlaw says:

    it increases dopamine in your brain which wakes your prefrontal cortex up
    which WILL help you concentrate

  • Daniel Murray says:

    I don’t think the facts back you up there Nicholas. They are stimulants,
    some are amphetamines, I don’t say they are not.

  • jea740 says:

    but still its harmfull

  • robertgrzz says:

    i have adhd when i was in school they made me take those drugs and when i
    got out of high school they took me off of of the medication i was on. i
    ended up basically getting so depressed i had another friend who had adhd
    and told me coccain and meth gave you kinda the same feeling. ritalin is so
    addictive DONT GIVE IT TO YOUR kids!!! adhd is a fuckin blessing not a
    disabilty. hit me up concerned parents

  • Daniel Murray says:

    Sorry to hear that Nicholas. I hope you manage to beat that. I take
    concerta I have been hyperactive all my live, lot’s of anxiety. It helps me
    be more together, calmer, less stressed. The inverse reaction to people who
    don’t have ADHD will experience. Street stimulants never got me high. I’d
    really talk to my doctor if I were you. The dose sounds way to high if your
    addicted. How bad is your ADD without the meds?

  • Nicholas Ryan says:

    that’s a myth. i have ADD-PI and it is SPEED.
