> There's far less side effects to Adderall than most other psychoactive drugs like SSRIs. I would be cautious about saying that. They're very different and hard to compare directly. Adderall can cause or worsen hypertension, which can cause cardiac issues or stroke. It can also trigger anxiety and, particularly when abused, psychosis. If you stick to a low dose it's relatively benign, but with it being so intensely addictive, that's a significant challenge for some people. SSRIs have worse psychological side effects, especially in the start up phase, but they're fairly safe physically provided you don't mix them with other serotonin drugs. Personally I can't hack Adderall as it makes my anxiety reach psychotic levels while also making me quite sleepy.
