Actually, Adderall. (Dextroamphetamine, and racemic amphetamine salts). That **** will be the death of our ADHD youth.
The author of this forum wanted something safe. Well for anyone who is afraid of creatine of NO supplements, because they might be bad, consider this: adderall WILL fry your brain, probably even mess up your life. The amphetamines are such potent vasoconstrictors, that they force the body to produce excess nitric oxide (don't get excited yet - why? read on) which under amphetamine-induced conditions reacts with superoxide to produce peroxynitrite, ONOOO-.
This chemical (peroxynitrite) has been shown to oxidize the **** of dopamine neurons in the brain and thus ruin cognitive abilities. Also, amphetamines reduce endogenous production of norepinephrine, requiring you take more and more for the same effect over time. Well, given neuronal death caused by the peroxynitrite, eventually your brain power plateaus, then declines. You eventually become psychotic, and develop schizophrenic symptoms, including hallucinations and aggression. You must stop, and your brain will be in recharge mode for .5 - 3 years, depending on your age and biochemical factors.
zdcisme123, you should be utterly ashamed of yourself for bringing this up. The fact is, adderall is just a prescription form of one of the most devastating street drugs, that causes people to commit terrible crimes. It should never be taken by anyone wanting to get a healthy boost on their studies. Jeez, man. This stuff is serious.
