Please don't spread rumors, anecdotes, and "personal reviews" when it comes to treating mental health and taking prescription drugs. Adderall is safe and effect

Please don't spread rumors, anecdotes, and "personal reviews" when it comes to treating mental health and taking prescription drugs. Adderall is safe and effective for the vast majority of people when prescribed and taken appropriately. Ritalin works better for some people. Can you cite a study showing that abstaining from alcohol and "meditating" every day controls ADHD symptoms better than placebo? I suppose not. If that works for you though, great.

  From that link to an article abstract: --- Conclusions: Although use of hospitalized control subjects excludes individuals with less severe disease, leading to selection bias, the study results suggest that caution should be exercised when prescribing high doses of amphetamines, with regular screening for symptoms of psychosis or mania. --- Just because you "know 3 people who got psychosis" is not evidence and not a reason to go around spreading nonsense and random links to article abstracts. The abstract you linked does, however, state that there seems to be a dose-response relationship to psychosis risk. That's part of the whole "prescribed and taken appropriately" thing and regular screening for symptoms of psychosis or mania. If you or someone you know has a concern about a prescription they take, talk to a f'ing doctor and don't make decisions based on something you found on the Internet.

    You skipped the five fold increase in psychosis in high doses. Anyway what is anectodal, i clearly expressed. Also this article is cleary advocating taking drugs without a "f'ing doctor". What i am saying is i think against that.
