ADHD Stimulant Drug Abuse
Amphetamine and methylphenidates are common compounds in stimulants. These compounds also happen to be addictive. There is a growing problem with addiction forming to these drugs, as well as abuse of their usage. Some people use stimulants to help them concentrate or lose weight. There is no evidence to support this actually works. If not treating for ADHD, abuse of these drugs can have far worse consequences. Side effects include raised blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature, and in high doses, stroke. Repeated abuse can result in negative personality changes, including irritability and paranoia.
