| The Ivy League Drug.
Adderoll.
Anyone use it? As far as test fatigue on the SATs it seems golden.

People here abuse Adderall like you wouldn't BELIEVE.
My friend has diagnosed ADD/ADHD/something like that and once word got out, people were hitting him up for pills right and left. Using too many amphetamines like that, though, can't be good for you in the long run.

apparently its like a mental blinder.
from what ive heard its practically medicated OCD (only with larger tasks such as writing a paper rather than the arrangement of papers..)
i know my mind really started to wander by section 7 of the SATs and I bet this could really help

Yeah Adderall is abused like no other on SATs/etc. It basically just makes you concentrate really hard on whatever you're doing rather than make you get bored or want to do something else. It probably shouldn't be used on a regular basis but isn't particularly dangerous from what I understand.

It's not overpowering or anything..it just prevents your mind from wandering. I doubt it will cause massive score increases.
It's used as a prescription drug for kids with ADD or ADHD who have trouble concentrating on a single topic for an extended period of time. It's by no means a miracle drug but it can come in handy for long tests or for all-nighters.

heh back in the 60's 70's kids at Berkeley would be up on speed (meth) for days writing mid term papers and doing brilliantly on them. It catches up when you start using substances as a crutch to perform academically.

It is a very strong drug. I would not be taking it without a prescription, especially not before the SAT's. If I was taking it without a prescription, I would try it on a day when I didn't have anything important going on in case it made me sick and I had to visit the hospital. Seriously, even kids with ADD do not know how any of these drugs will affect them. My kids (ADD) had bad experiences with certain drugs before finding one that worked. And by bad I mean severe anxiety, sweating, headaches, and other side effects that would not be helpful on test day.

I did not know this.
But yes, I would experiment in small doses first.
Ahh well, admission season is over for me. But I do get motivation problems sometimes though. It's weird, because it will be on a subject I'm passionate about and my mind just thinks, "oooh let's play online chess!"
