How dangerous is it to take ADD medication without having ADD?
I've recently, as in last night discovered my close friend has been taking ADD medication, but I know for a fact she doesn't have ADD. I don't know if it's Adderall or Ritalin or what, I just know it's something to that effect.
She seems to be getting a lot thinner, and sometimes has some pretty bad headaches and nausea(sp). I don't want to worry about something happening to her, so I'd rather know the dangers now.

It's real dangerous, even if someone with ADD takes too much of it, it can still be dangerous. Those pills you mentioned are related to the chemical methamphetamine. If you take enough it can be a lot like your on Meth but not as strong.

The side effects are the same for people with or without ADD: loss of appetite, withdrawal headaches and nausea.
Your friend is abusing prescription-grade speed.

Why would she do that? There are even side-effects for people who take it who actually do have ADD.
She should definitely stop. According to you, if sounds pretty bad and harmful.
It might even make her get ADD. Nah I totally make that up.
But seriously, she should stop and you should help her. (You know, so you are party responsible.) Do you have a school phychologist/nurse?
Good luck!!

i dont think of its risky if its purely some days, buts its annoying. try taking your dose previously in the day. considering its surely velocity, identity stay away from taking it 6 hours previously bedtime. or you may desire to continually try smoking a sprint pot :)
