Does addrial help with depression

Answer 1

I'm assuming you mean Adderall. Adderall is a stimulant that affects the neurotransmitter serotonin in your brain. Serotonin is the chemical that (to be non technical with it) affects your happy thoughts and overall feelings of well being. So yes adderall can help with depression in a way but its a very habit forming drug that you can build a resistance to causing you to need more and more as time progresses. This is not a good thing. Also stimulants are not very heathy for kids and teens whose brains are still developing. Its a quick but not permanent fix that has numerous side effects. Adderall is usually prescribed to help with ADHD, but you see various symptoms of ADHD can be seen in people suffering from depression so it may seem like it helps but its not the right medication you should be taking for depression. I am prescribed the medication adderall but I am very careful as to how I use it! It works miracles on my concentration level but this drug is pretty much like the recreational drug speed causing those who may not need it to be extra productive and feel very euphoric and passionate about things.... its a good feeling but has many negative effects. If you're looking for medication for depression adderall is not your answer. Its also a schedule 2 drug meaning that if it did not have medicinal purposes it would be illegal! Also that means that in order to have your prescription filled you need a handwritten prescription every time you fill it with no refills, and an id.
