Question Hello, I've been curious about experimenting with different drugs. So far I have decided against using poppy pod tea because it is just too risky.
Recently I've discovered a source of Adderall and I am interested in using it to help me study for my 4th year organic chemistry class, medicinal chemistry. I know Adderall is addictive, but just how addictive is it? I am also taking 40 mg citalopram, 40 mg fluoxetine, 0.75 mg risperidone and 40 mg propranolol prn. Would it be safe to take an Adderall for studying?
Answer Dear Jenny
Adderall appears to help one study and become more confident with examinations but this over confidenced is usually misplaced and even though you feel you have studied and done the exam well, the reults are uaually worse than usual. This is because it gives you false confidence.
Stay clear of it especially when on all these other psychotropic drugs.
