Do I think it's wrong?
OF COURSE!!!!!
You could develop a tolerance to it and become dependent on it. It could cause heart and blood pressure problems. People have died from taking this stuff. What if you were too medicated/woozy and did something that could endanger yourself or someone else, like driving or watching a child in your care?
I'd like to say 1st and foremost, Adderall is probably safe when taken according to directions and under a physician's care. I'm in no way bashing the drug or anyone who takes it.
It's NOT safe to take meds that were not prescribed for you. Dr's use weight, medical history and other criteria to decide a safe dosage of medication for someone with a medical condition. You could be overdosing yourself, and the meds were not intended for your use. If you are already on meds for something else, those meds could interact and make you very sick...or worse.
Not to mention, Adderall is a controlled substance...like codeine, morphine and drugs like that. It is illegal to take prescribed controlled substances if you are not the intended patient they were prescribed to.
Depending on how long you've been taking it, I urge you to see a dr. Stopping meds cold turkey can make you sick--a dr. may have to wean you off them gradually.
Please see a dr. for your sake. Your friend needs to go too.
If you are having issues with concentration and focus, tell your dr.
I'd also tell you to speak to a guidance counselor or someone at a student health center (if you are in college). They may be able to find tutors, help you find time management strategies to help you stay focused.

It is wrong to take something not presribed for you. What happens if you have an accident at school or in a car and wind up in the emergency room and you have the Adderall in your system but the doctors don't know this; they could give you a medication that might cause severe interactions with this drug that could cause major problems. Also if you the drug is not prescribed for either of you how are you getting this drug? If you are buying it or someone is giving it to you that means someone who really needs this drug is not taking his medication which is not good either. If either of you have problems with concentration and getting work done and think you may have a need for the drug for real then get tested for ADD/ADHD and get on the proper medication for each of you if you would test positive. A couple of last comments.................what happens if you have to take a drug test?? How will you explain a positive test? Also if you are not afraid to take Adderall what will stop you from taking something else without a prescription?

If it helps you focus I don't see a problem but if you are using Aderol to get messed up or other than focusing in school I think you are wrong. You should just go to the doc and get a prescription from him, if he thinks you are ADD or ADHD he might give you the right drug with the right dosage. If yo uare taking too many at a time you could be abusing the drug as well.

If you like being hooked on prescription amphetamines then by all means continue. Just because its a prescribed drug does not mean it harmless. I guarentee you in a few months you'll need to take more than one pill each morning or better yet you'll have to graduate to something stronger like meth or coke.

I think it is very dangerous. If you really think this drug helps you and your friend then go to your own doctors and talk to them about this drug. This is what I found on the drug just by doing a fast search.
AMPHETAMINES HAVE A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR ABUSE. ADMINISTRATION OF AMPHETAMINES FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME MAY LEAD TO DRUG DEPENDENCE AND MUST BE AVOIDED. PARTICULAR ATTENTION SHOULD BE PAID TO THE POSSIBILITY OF SUBJECTS OBTAINING AMPHETAMINES FOR NON-THERAPEUTIC USE OR DISTRIBUTION TO OTHERS, AND THE DRUGS SHOULD BE PRESCRIBED OR DISPENSED SPARINGLY.
MISUSE OF AMPHETAMINE MAY CAUSE SUDDEN DEATH AND SERIOUS CARDIOVASCULAR ADVERSE EVENTS.

So? Let me understand: You are asking us to tell you that we all think it is A-OK for you to be thieves, liars, barely literate, and potential prison inmates...not...so whose little brother is suuposed to be taking the adderall and isn't? Shall we add stupid parents and child abuse to our list?

It's a controlled substance. It's illegal....for the both of you and whomever gave it/sold it to you.
Guess you both want to go to jail.
