why is adderall harmful for nonprescribed abusers?
Amphetamines have many harmful effects for "long-term abuse" but what’s the difference between someone who isn’t prescribed Adderall and someone who takes it to treat ADHD for the rest of his life? Can’t both bodies suffer from the physical effects and risk of damage to the heart, liver, kidney, etc?
In small doses, drugs like aderall and ritalin are not harmful to a healthy person. In a person who has ADHD, small doses of these drugs often give a therapeutic effect on the mind. In a person who doesn’t have ADHD, they may have no effect at all until you start getting into higher dosages or alternative ingestion. That’s where the problem starts. Abusive use of these drugs often leads to taking much higher doses or crushing up and snorting the tablets in order to get a ‘high’. Besides that, amphetamines have a high occurance of addiction in individuals, and without a doctor following the progress of the individual, there’s a strong concern there.
