Adderall
Manage episode 445373085 series 3493690
The discussion on Adderall, a central nervous system stimulant, delved into its classification, mechanisms, and uses. Adderall, an amphetamine, increases dopamine and norepinephrine levels, enhancing focus and attention in individuals with ADHD. Its history dates back to 1887, with significant use in the 1960s for weight loss and since the 1990s for ADHD. Misuse is prevalent, particularly among college students, with up to 30% using it non-medically. Adderall's scheduling as a Schedule II controlled substance reflects its high abuse liability. Long-term effects include neuroplasticity and potential risks for children. The conversation also touched on its off-target effects, such as insomnia and loss of appetite.
