dont take adderall...adderall as well as ritalin and concerta is pure amphetamines in other words speed. yea they might make you stay up, make you feel good, make you concentrate, and perform better but in the long run is not worth it at all.... in the long run it becomes addictive, is illigal without a prescription and it damages dopamine and serotonin (two very important neurotransmitters in the brain) neurons, which may lead to diseases such as parkinsons disease.i started taking adderall and i wanted more and more then i went for methamphetamines which is worst and beating the craving for those kinds of drugs is really hard.
