According to an article in the weekly science journal, Nature, as many as 25 percent of students have used prescription drugs. The American College Health Association has found that the non-medical use of prescription drugs is the second most common form of illegal drug use in the college population after marijuana.
Adderall, or "Addy" as it is known on some campuses, is the most popular of these drugs. It is a stimulant and an amphetamine, which is a class of drugs that increases the levels of norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine in the brain. It causes an increased flow of neurotransmitters, which intensifies one’s ability to concentrate, allowing them to focus for extended periods of time.
ADDerall for more than just ADD
