Adderall: My (Academic) Performance Enhancing Drug

adderall.jpg(Last week one of our writers opened up about her personal use of Adderall. We have since received tons of feedback regarding Adderall and the many ways it is used. Here is another coed’s story…)

Sunday night at 3 a.m. again. The lines on the page have long since run together. I have written the same sentence three times. My roommate is blaring the television set that is constantly tuned to E!. I have seen all of the True Hollywood stories. Twice.

“Bailey*, can I have an Adderall?”

“Sure. You know where to find them.”

I rummaged around in the clutter of her desk drawer, and my fingertips having connected with the plastic of a prescription bottle, I tipped a tiny capsule into my palm.

Ah, yes, here was my chemical savior. Focus city, here I come.

This amphetamine derivative was going to help me get through my stack of reading and get that assignment down on paper.

I lay back down on my bed and set my alarm for 4 a.m. With Adderall in my system I would be able to get back up in just an hour and get back to work. And I did.

I sailed through those chapters and set the skeleton of my paper down in print. Doing real writing or reading that I actually needed to understand wasn’t really a good idea when I was on Adderall. Somehow it seemed to suppress my ability for thinking deep thoughts.

Bailey had a prescription, which she didn’t really need, clinically. What she really had was a very understanding family doctor who, with a knowing wink, scribbled away on his tiny pad when she came in with the complaint, “I can’t concentrate.”

Because the pills weren’t being used on a daily basis, there were often some spare ones lying around that got given away or sold to “friends in need”.

I was usually one of those friends.

I had never heard of Adderall, Concerta, or any of the other prescription drugs used in the treatment of ADD before college. When I got to school and found out what the effects were I wanted to know where I could sign up.

Studying was never my forte. I had always managed to ace my tests and whip out my papers based on my class attendance and spectacular ability to bullsh*t. When I got to college, I discovered that however wonderful my skills may be, it is nigh-on impossible to BS a 15-page paper, even if it is philosophy. I was floundering, and here was my quick-fix. Because who wants to do things the hard way?

So Adderall became my study buddy and I owe many successful all-nighters to those tiny capsules. What’s more, with all of this extra energy and focus, I stopped munching on Cheetos and Doritos while studying and I lost a pants size (which I have since gained back).

Now, addictive tendencies run in my family, so I had to be careful. Adderall has the same chemical components as speed (so watch out if you’re going to be getting drug tested), and its dispensing is tightly regulated. Only one month’s supply at a time may be prescribed and a visit to the doctor is required in order to renew the prescription. Meaning: there can be habit-forming side effects and this is something to be monitored.

But, I never once had the least shadow of a negative side effect. No crashes, no moodiness, no nothing. Just complete focus and an increase to my G.P.A. Obviously, I would do it again if it were available to me. I’ve even considered going to the psychiatrist myself and getting a prescription.

It’s not necessary, though; if you know the right people (and I do), you can usually just score on campus.

    This article is very irresponsible. Flaunting Adderall as a side affect-free, miracle study drug that also helps you lose weight is misleading and dangerous. She even admitted to considering lying in order to get her own prescription, but claims that buying it illegally from others is an easier option.

    At least the author is aware of Adderall’s addictive qualities and monitors her use. Besides that, she is obviously very naive and quite dumb.

    What is getting into you people writing articles about abusing adderall? I mean, props to THIS writer, at least she used it for it’s purpose — focusing, but again, also fails to understand that this is a drug for people with neurological disorders. If you do not have one, you are playing with fire. This drug is tightly controlled because it’s on the same stimulant level as cocaine and speed. I can’t believe how casual and trendy the writers on CC are making this to be. This is not a miracle pill for anyone who lol-forgot-to-study-better-pop-a-pill!, it’s a medicine.

    Uh, Caroline, are you really going to use the “open-minded” line on drug abuse?

    CollegeCandy may be honest, but responsibility is not its forte. Stick to the fluffy pieces you usually do.

    We want girls to make their own informed choices. We’re not your mother or your drug counselor.

    As someone who’s been on prescription drugs her whole life as a necessity, I would never take something that wasn’t prescribed to me. I’ve had enough of pills and side-effects.

    But free speech, free opinion, and free thought is what we strive for in this corner of cyber-space. The only thing we don’t tolerate is hate.

    Hope that clears things up!

    Now I’m turning to my drug of choice: limeade. YES.

    I have to agree, its not exactly perpetuating adderrall abuse to talk about it.

    Especially not when 6 out of every 10 of my college friends (just a guess) have taken/ regularly take/ buy adderall on a regular basis during finals.

    I think its just a way to discuss it and see the pros and cons. Maybe she didnt have any side effects, but others of us have, and thats all that needs to be said here.

    Be careful, because some of us have had bad experiences with it. But do I think she’s going to be shooting heroin in an alley next year because she uses adderall sometimes? Of course not. But then again, anything can be a gateway drug for people…

    lortabs, adderall, valium… these are all over-prescribed drugs with good and bad side effects that oddly arent monitored by the government like marajuana.

    I suppose that has to do with our capitalist/ privatized/ pharmaceutical company controlled government… tisk tisk

    i cant care less if someone else does adderal to get through school. if people want to do things, its their choice. i havent done adderal, but ive definitly had my share of experimentation, and im not going to be someone to sit here and judge. the author seems to be using the pills with responsibility, which is how all drugs need to be used. in other words, its pefectly fine to drink on the weekend as long as you arent an alcoholic.

    I don’t think the author is using the pills responsibly. The only responsible way to use prescription drugs is if they are prescribed to you because you NEED them. The author doesn’t NEED them, she’s just using them because she’s too lazy and irresponsible to do her work on time. Procrastination is not and should not be a reason to use a drug.

    We have the freedom to make our own choices, but there are consequences. The government gives us the right to choose with hopes that we make the right decisions and if we don’t their are consequences (fines, jail time, etc.) You have the right to do whatever you want, but that doesn’t make your choices right.

    Personally I would feel like I cheated myself if I was taking a drug to help me get through college. If you can’t do it on your own, and responsibly then maybe college isn’t for you. Knowing that I did it entirely on my own with no help from a drug gives me a lot of pride. My best friend was a straight A student in a private school in high school, she got a scholarship and went away to college her freshmen year, she’s been there 2 semesters and has failed most of her classes, lost her scholarship, is on academic probation, and still continues to party and go out and drink every night of them week. She also uses adderall to help her procrastinate. She is no longer my best friend. I can’t surround myself with people who constantly make poor decisions and continue to run their lives into the ground. In fact every person I’ve known who abuses adderall (and even just using it to study is abusing it if it isn’t your prescription, because you don’t need it to function) is just a stones throw away from flunking out. That’s probably not the case with everyone that uses it, but if you are using it it just shows that you can’t do it on your own and aren’t ready for college and the grown up world of responsibility.

    Oh wow… there’s a lot of generalizations about other people that you have no way of knowing anything about.

    You seem to be be pretty up on your high horse there…

    “That’s probably not the case with everyone that uses it, but if you are using it it just shows that you can’t do it on your own and aren’t ready for college and the grown up world of responsibility”

    But actually, since you said you realize that probably not “everyone is close to flunking out” who uses adderall, let me help you realize how true that is…

    Actually, the majority of my friends who use it to study are the top students and those with the hardest majors in the school.

    Nursing students… and also my boyfriend (a senior, and all SIX of his graduating class members- yes, only six.) in Chemical Engineering. I’m not sure what your major is, but I guarantee you they aren’t dumb, lazy or irresponsible.(and probably much harder workers than you, according to the odds of YOU being a chemical engineer.) They just have a fucking ton of reallllly hard work that would overload MOST college students.

    You sound very naive.

    My biggest problem with this article is that the author praises all of the good side affects without mentioning any of the down sides, except for touching on its addictive qualities. She’s dabbling in some illegal activities, such as buying and taking prescription drugs, and implies that if the drug wasn’t so readily available that she would use false information and lie to get her own prescription. I’m not judging what she does in her own life. However, when she publishes this article on a site where many high school and college-aged girls frequent, I question her judgment.

    At one point she seems to encourage others that “if you know the right people (and I do), you can usually just score on campus.” To me, that comes awfully close to promoting the use of the drug.

  13. Laura says:
    Tue, 19th Aug 200811:44 am 

    “We want girls to make their own informed choices.”

    I agree with what you are saying, J, but in order for someone to do that they need both sides of the issue, which this article lacked. I understand that in this particular case she didn’t have any negative side affects (which is often not the case) and she so far hasn’t gotten caught, which happens much more often than people realize. I mean, it’s a Schedule II drug, meaning it gets lumped into the same category as opium, morphine and cocaine. That’s nothing to take lightly.

    BA, great article, I think most of the commenters are irrational and overreacting. To say this article is ‘very irresponsible’ is nonsense. The author is not promoting or endorsing adderall use- she’s openly and realistically speaking about her experiences. I applaud her candor for talking about something thats usually candy-coated or swept under the rug.

    College Candy writers aren’t making it ‘casual or trendy’ to use drugs. Are we promoting people to have pre-marital sex because we talk about our sexual experiences? Of course not. Its about using your voice in order to connect with people who can relate. If there are readers that don’t relate to certain viewpoints or activities, thats fine too.

    Drug use in college is a reality. To avoid speaking about it for the fear that people will read it and go load up on illegal substances is similar to not teaching high schoolers about sex, in fears that they’ll go out and hump the masses.

    The comment that “Responsibility is not CC’s forte” is ludicrous. As I see it, CC and its writers work hard to provide honest, relevant, thought-provoking pieces that relate to the issues and experiences of college students.

    If you want squeaky clean content, go get yourself a copy of Seventeen.

  15. Melanie - Northeastern University says:
    Tue, 19th Aug 20081:34 pm 

    BA is clearly not promoting the usage of adderall, she’s sharing her personal experience. Lay off.

    Even if this article was a promotion of the drug (which it definitely is not) and you took adderall solely because of something you read on the internet telling you to, then I think you have bigger issues to worry about.

    Snaps for BA for her honesty.

    “and probably much harder workers than you, according to the odds of YOU being a chemical engineer.”

    Way to grill me for making generalizations and then turn around and do the exact same thing. I didn’t attack you personally. I just gave my opinion based on what I’ve seen and experienced. There is no justification for abusing drugs. Period. If you need the help of a drug to handle your work load then maybe it’s just too hard for you. I work two jobs one full time Monday through Friday clocking around 42 hours each week and another part time clocking about 20 hours a week. I also take 6 classes a semester. And you know what, I get straight A’s and have excellent performance scores at both jobs all without drugs. So go ahead and judge me based on my opinion, but that just gives me the right to pass judgment on drug abusers. And you’re the one that sound naive believing that your friends and boyfriends need those drugs in order to handle their work loads and having no faith that they can do it on their own.

    “Working 60 plus hours a week and taking 6 classes per semester? I bet you don’t ever sleep! How the hell does that work?”

    haha :)

    Well Casey honey, you’re preaching to the choir. I’ve always worked full time and many times had a second job, while carrying a full load of classes myself, and while supporting myself completely on my own, so spare me your self-righteous wonder-woman story.

    I think the reason you come off so abrasively is because you sound like you’re on some high horse, you seriously sound like you think you’re better than everyone else. (Even going from your past posts on abortion, sex, etc etc.. yes, you’ve annoyed me to the point I remember these!) It’s like “Well I’m just morally superior to everyone else.” Did you ever think that other people’s ethical values aren’t so conservative as yours? You talk about people lokoing at things from other non-accepted points of views, but you dont seem to learn anything from anyone else! It doesn’t do any good to hear sides of an argument if you still assume you know everything.

    “And you know what, I get straight A’s and have excellent performance scores at both jobs all without drugs. So go ahead and judge me based on my opinion, but that just gives me the right to pass judgment on drug abusers. And you’re the one that sound naive believing that your friends and boyfriends need those drugs in order to handle their work loads and having no faith that they can do it on their own.”

    Well that’s great! Props to you for making straight A’s and working 60 hours a week, (although logically I can’t see how that fits into a time schedule, since most classes only run from 8am-10pm, unless you’re taking 6 hours online)

    But I’m just frustrated with how you sound like you think that you’re always in the right, that your views are always correct and that you have any idea about those people you are generalizing about. And I wasn’t generalizing about you, I was going on the statistics of how many people major in what areas, which say that statistically, you are not likely to be a chemical engineering major. That is all.

    But since when does the assumption that since one person (supposedly) made generalizations it makes it okay for you to make assumptions about anyone other than that person? That doesn’t make logically work itself out.

    Also, who ever said I didn’t think they could do it on their own? I just said its understandable to seek help when you have such hard majors, and was supporting my point that they aren’t “idiots about to flunk out.”

    I think its completely irrational to assume that just because one person does one thing, they’re unable to function without it, or that by taking drugs several times, (either for studying or recreation) it makes you a junkie? Thats just absurd to me.

    Thats like saying because you went to church 20 times, you’re a christian….

    I’m just saying. Maybe if you didnt come across so judgemental in the first place, people wouldn’t get so defensive and take your words personally, is all.

    Fri, 22nd Aug 200810:35 am

  21. Casey says:
    Fri, 22nd Aug 200811:11 pm 

    actually, my views on a few things have changed from some peoples comments on this site. But very very few people on this site ever look at the other side, every time I post I get multiple people calling me an idiot because I view things differently. My posts on here were not always so judgmental, but the reactions I’ve gotten have always been the same.

    I’m not nessisarily a moral person, and I’m not on a high horse, I believe in everyone making their own choices, but there is always a moral right and wrong, whether you choose to live by moral guidelines or not, whatever, that’s your choice, but when things like drug abuse is shown as perfectly fine (which it may be no problem for some people, like your boyfriend and friends) but when things like this are shown in such a care-free way, other people who may not have as much self-control make poor decisions because of it. I just point out that there is a moral line with every issue. You can waiver on that line however you like, it’s your choice, but the outcome doesn’t always just effect the person making the decision, and that’s what people need to realize, and that’s why I get so uptight, because I hate living in a society of people making bad decisions that don’t just effect them, but you and me as well. But that’s just my view of it, feel free to disagree.

  22. J says:
    Sat, 23rd Aug 200810:26 pm 

    No, I actually completely agree with everything you just said. I just think some of the ways your points have been expressed have been misleading from the point you were trying to make.

    But I really appreciate the level-headed response, thanks :) I try not to get worked up easily, and I suppose I just felt forced on the defensive is all.

    Sounds to me like the author needs Adderall.

    A few things about ADD and the drugs:

    IF YOU DON’T HAVE ADD ADDERALL HAS THE OPPOSITE EFFECT ON YOU.

    Most likely, if you take it and it helps you concentrate, you probably need it.

    If you take adderall, and it doesn’t make you act like you are on speed, you probably need it. You should go to the doctor and ask to be tested for ADD. It doesn’t hurt, and if you honestly have trouble concentrating and keeping up with tasks, it can really help you.

    I am obsessed with Adderall.

    Whenever I can, I read about it.

    I’ve read many books on ADD

    and I am prescribed Adderall. I have a “chemical imbalance” known as ADD (which is a very, very misunderstood disorder)

    Most people with ADD don’t know they have it, especially if they don’t even know the symptoms of it. Most people just think it’s a kids disease and has to do with being incredibly hyper, but there’s so much more to it. A lot of people are diagnosed as adults.

    If you are using it to improve yourself, then where is the harm in it? (I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO BUY OR SELL IT, YOU CAN GET IN SERIOUS TROUBLE FOR THAT.) People drink a pot of coffee for the same effect, it helps you. I’m pretty sure someone without ADD who takes adderall just gets overwhelmed with tasks and is too stimulated to concentrate, they have a thousand ideas running through their head on the same topic and can’t calm down long enough to put them down on paper.

    Okay, so …

    If you take adderall because you’re out doing whatever and don’t realize until 2 hours before class you have an exam or a paper due, you’re probably abusing the meds. (which whatever, do what you want. I don’t see how it helps someone without ADD though, except for staying up all night. I’m pretty sure it confuses you even more when you try to get something down on paper.)

    But, if you’re trying to complete the task but find yourself distracted or avoiding it for some reason or another, and when you actually sit down and TRY to concentrate you just cant get a word down even though you know the material, you may need it.

    I’m not telling you to diagnose yourself, just be more aware of the symptoms, Google them, look them up. Read stories, and if you can relate, you could easily be on your way to a prescription if you think you have ADD.

    Adderall is very addicting, even if you have ADD.

    You start to rely on the chemicals and forget how to function without them. But, it’s a beautiful thing.

    If you’re lucky enough to have ADD, you will get all of the benefits of adderall. (as well as the side effects, which include death and psychosis.)

    so many other readers find that being successful without working hard isnt fair. its perfectly fair, we would all do it if we could. the issue is the side effects: heart problems, dehydration, jitters, and of course addiction. if it wasnt for these side effects everybody would take them like vitamins. sometimes using the pills has a positive impact on your life, the trick is knowing when if ever. this requires educating yourself about the drug, exactly what it will do for you and to you, and then using your judgment to know which is the right choice.

    I’ve been on adderall for about three years now, and for me it was something like a miracle. I’m glad the author hasn’t had any problems with it, because the side effects potentially include heart attacks and other BAD things, as I’m constantly reminded by my friends.

    I personnally think its an insult to the people like me who NEED adderall to function in the real world. If I didn’t need the drug anymore and could skip my doses I would be the happiest person in the world, but I can’t. Those of you who are taking the drug to study better are gonna run into the harsh reality that its very easy to become dependant on it. I have to take it due to my diagnosis of ASD/ADHD. but if you don’t have to take it then you should be thanking god everyday for not giving you the cursed burden he has put on me.

    I take Adderall because I have ADD. I got my BS degree WITHOUT the drug and I had a C average. I then started to go back for my Masters now and started taking Adderall in June of 2008 and I am SHOCKED at the vast difference in how well I am able to concentrate, study and actually retain the information I spend hours studying. In the past, before the medication, I would study just as hard for just as long and retain very little. But now my grades are already in the A/B category. For me, Adderall brings me up to the level that others without ADD can be at with just hard work and effort and therefore levels the playing field.

    If you use it and you don’t need it, your test scores aren’t a reflection of how smart you are, or how well you behaved responsibly by studying, or by doing all your work, or really understanding the concepts, or especially how worthy you are of the job your degree gets you. Your grade is really a reflection of how good the cheat method is that you used over another. So that ‘A’ someone may get is an ‘A’ for the method of cheating they used (hidden notes, copying from another student, using Adderall) rather than their true worth.

    I also agree with everything being said. My whole life, I have struggled with being able to sit down and focus on the little things like homework and small responsibilites. It was incredibly frustrating to hear other people get on to me about the problems I was having. The thing that I believe kept me from going into the doctors office to get tested was that I was able to do very well on tests and big projects. I didnt know what that meant. I also dont know if having ADD affects that. I think its hard to believe that people with ADD cant be good at something, otherwise we would have never made it through school without adderall.

    I finished high school with an accumulative gpa of 1.6. I am very good at baseball and was getting looks from very good division 1 universities. Sure they were impressed with my talent and skills, but were immediately turned off by my academic performance. Luckily I was able to score a 22 on my ACT to get into the college I wanted to, but was not able to be athletically eligible. This was very frustrating for me.

    I finished my first semester of college with a 2.3. This was far better than I had ever done, but the university offered a lot of test based courses.

    I transferred the next semester to a smaller university so that I would be able to play right away. I arrived on campus and a few days later was informed that I was academically ineligible here too based upon high school performance. I was depressed. I knew of the opportunities I had through baseball to get me through college but I was relying on my academic skills to pay for college.

    Currently in the semester, I am failing four of my five courses and the other is a D. I didnt want to go to class because I was never prepared with the homework complete or anything. This university cares a lot about attendance and was an even bigger problem.

    Three weeks ago, I was forced to meet with the Assistant Dean of the university about my grades and lack of attendance. He told me that I needed to meet with a tudor about trying to get my grades up. This could have been the most important meeting of my life. She observed my behavior and took into consideration my study habits as well as grades and informed me that I might have ADD. The fact of the matter is, I have always wanted to do well in school. That has never been an issue. However, I lacked the ability to study on my own and sit down and do the assigned material. I just thought I was lazy.

    I made an appointment for April 1st to get checked for a diagnosis. The diagnosis was having ADD. I was relieved to know that I would get an opportunity to see if this was the real problem I was having. I took the first dose around ten and arrived on campus around twelve. I sat down and tried to do some homework. Immediately I noticed differences. I generally have things running through my mind like a television changing channels every two seconds. I did still experience that, but metaphorically, the tv was smaller and turned down. I was able to complete the assignment and had the confidence to show up to class with it done.

    I believe truly that people who have focus issues and want to do well but cant, need medication. The people that use the medication and see drastic improvements, have ADD. The improvements so far in my life as a whole are nothing short of miraculous. It truly is. I am doing things that took me so much longer to achieve before, much quicker because I am able to focus on them and get them done.

    I am insulted by people who claim that I have focus issues and take adderall to help with laziness or procrastination. For someone who missed out on an opportunity to play at an elite baseball program because of poor grades, I am very upset. I will not knock anyone for thinking that they have ADD. But they should realize that having ADD stretches far beyond the classroom.

    I now love to see the positive effects of adderall on people’s lives who have ADD. It really is incredible.

    I apologize if this is an open forum for women only, I just wanted to put my story out there because I am so happy to now lead a normal life.
